Temporally Ambiguous Post-Formation conversation
Well, that had happened.

It was all very weird, scary, and exhausting. But it definitely just emphasized that the oommitment she'd made was for real. And worth it, what with more people being safer and all because she'd been able to help. And now they had a whole little Hero (or Heroine) Education thing going, apparently, and that was going to help a lot, and the people seemed nice.

She was there now, but nothing much was happening at the moment, so she was sitting outside on a rock, had her guitar out and was playing "Rainbow Connection."

	"Yeah, eventually," she teased Mikal. "Daddy's big on that too. He was just really worried when I started flying, even if I'm really durable. All sorts of rules about not going too high and stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My dad was very worried when I got into flying too... mostly that I'd lose more races or not be able to get up high enough. I think he covered half of those repairs betting all the other dads." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Your head was getting big, someone had to do something about it," Janie teased. "Between the two of us helping, you'll be a great racer if you wanted Clara." Janie nods. Oh yeah, her extended family was rather huge. It even included alternate dimension relatives! "It's nice, there's a ton of them on both sides. Can make holidays fun. What about your family?"

	"Well, with three sisters, it's not like Team Morgenstern is a small family, but no cousins or anything." "There was a significant pause there. Was it a funny significant pause or a worried significant pause?" It wasn't that Clara didn't have manners, just.... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sorta is I guess. Though he's not that spooky! You just think so." Grandpa Bruce was just gruff in her opinion, he could be sweet at times when he wasn't being so serious. "Three sisters? Do you guys get along?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He rolls his eyes. "Nah, its just one of Grandpa Ollie's more complimentary nicknames for him." He doesn't even try to get into any of the less complimentary ones. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Clara listens to all this, and believes it to be time to address Janie's question Very quickly. "Yes, all four of us cooperate easily and get along pretty well. We even coordinate on things like running away from home, although it was my almost-brother-in-law that started that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's just jealous he's never going to be as cool as Batman." Though she thought (some) Robins were the best. Because Daddy was awesome is why. "That's cool, you guys are like a strike team. Almost-brother-in-law? Is the real responsible older sister engaged?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grins. "Its totally true, somehow the Arrow-Car and Arrow-Plane just don't quite measure up... even if he loses some points for bothering with the whole pointy-ears on the costume thing." he answers in good humor, before turning his attention to Clara for the answer.

	Clara smiles and nods. "Our running-gag name is Captain Morgenstern's All-Blonde Commando Squad. And yeah, she's... almost-engaged. No actual ring yet, but it's pretty obvious what they're going for, and he's been around forever." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That gets a grin. "The normal cut a little too close to another definition of going commando for the Captain's tastes?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
