All fall down

It's been one of those months.

An emergency call from the Tower turned out to be a full-on assault courtesy of Slade Wilson and his pals. I can't remember the last time I saw the place get this trashed - it's gonna need rebuilding from the ground up. The only -good- news was that he didn't get what he came for. Guess that makes the fact that everyone took a pounding worthwhile. I need to come up with a plausible story for my dentist as to how I lost two crowns at once, but a mouthful of novocaine's the least of my worries right now. Beginning to think I keep the guy in business on my tab alone. The kids were okay, that's the main thing. Lian's with Ollie and Roy for the time being.

On the up side, it means Cyborg can get those upgrades he's been going on about put into the new build... provided he and Brainiac-5 can agree on anything. Judging by the 650 emails sitting in my inbox when I got up this morning, I'm not being real optimistic. Can someone just give me a summary, because I'm getting a headache just looking at that number, and that's not completely down to the concussion. Are we at least on the same page with Kord Industries yet? (Vic, please say yes. I haven't ingested enough caffeine for a negative).

As if that wasn't enough, Luthor's declared war on Themyscira after some botched Amazonian assassination attempt (I'm still not sure what the hell went down, but it's not like I can ask Diana what's going on right now), and issued deportation orders to any Amazon living in the US. Yeah, that includes Donna. I had a number of things in mind for her first birthday back from being dead and all, but that wasn't one of them.

I hurt too much to do a lot right now except watch my daughter work on the crawling thing and make sure she doesn't inadvertantly strangle herself with an ethernet cable or piss off the cat. Though I gotta say she's tolerating the attention pretty well.
