The Clocktower, New Gotham City, Sunday Afternoon

[blondecanary]

There was brunch, and there was talking in Spanish to Barbara, and there was waiting for Karla to arrive for foodness and a day of goofing off. There might even be a Knights game, later.

Perfect Sunday in New Gotham. Well, if you weren't fighting crime at the moment.

[expecting one, then another, but open for phone calls earlier!]

Blossom had no idea why she was here, but it was the first place she'd thought to go, even if she totally didn't want to say why.

She probably should have called first, but luckily she remembered the way to the Clocktower and she came down from cloud cover to land near the clockface door.

Knock, knock

[blondecanary]

"Ummm...." Dinah frowned, got up, and went to the door at the Clock face. Maybe it was Superman??

No.

"Momoko? Hi, c'mon in. What--" Are you doing here? "A surprise!"

[heromaniac]

Blossom grinned and stepped in. "Sorry I didn't call. Is it a problem? I can totally go and, uhm... do something else if I'm bothering you?"

[blondecanary]

"No!" Not after that chat with Jaime, seriously. "No, we were just thinking of maybe hitting a Knights game in a couple hours, Karla's here, c'mon in!"

[heromaniac]

"Ah, you had plans." So no chance for patrolling, even. "Sorry. I'll go when you two leave for the game, if that's okay?"

[blondecanary]

"You can come with," Dinah protested, tugging on Momoko's arm, and guiding her inside. "Unless you hate baseball. Or, we can do something else?" She sized up Momoko, and offered, "We have ice cream."

[heromaniac]

She totally hated sports. But if it was that or go back and try to avoid Jaime... "I don't know the rules or anything, but I'll come along, sure." She tried to sound enthusiastic about it.

She pulled out her compact and pressed a button. A shimmer of light later and Momoko was smiling at Dinah. "But more importantly, what flavour ice cream?" It wasn't hard to sound eager about the ice cream.

[blondecanary]

"Vanilla. But we have all this fruit to put on as toppings. Plus chocolate syrup." Dinah slung an arm around her, and then said in a quieter voice. "Jaime called. He seemed pretty upset."

[heromaniac]

Momoko's face had fallen in pretend horror at the idea of putting fruit on ice cream, but Dinah's whisper had her in actual dismay.

"Ah."

She was still totally not sure how she should feel about yesterday. Well, she knew how she did feel, but... Apparently she'd been the only one.

[blondecanary]

"You want to talk about it?" Dinah offered. "Or just have chocolate and ice cream and then go back and try to talk to him later?"

[heromaniac]

"Is there an option that just has the chocolate and ice cream?" She tried a small laugh.

[blondecanary]

"Nope," Dinah said, popping the 'p'. "'Cause that was one very upset and sad superhero on the phone with me. And I think you guys still have more to talk about." Another squeeze. "Just, not yet. If you don't want to."

[heromaniac]

But she didn't want to hear Dinah say that Momoko should have known! To ask why Momoko had thought it would be any different just because it was her!

...Because the answer was that she'd never even thought about it.

"Then can we at least start with the food part? And maybe some sparring later?"

[blondecanary]

"Of course," Dinah promised. She started to look thoughtful as they approached the dining area. "You know what always made me feel better, when there was guy trouble."

[heromaniac]

"A patrol?" Momoko looked up, hopeful at the possibility, and very accidentally letting her face show it. "But Karla's here? And you were going to that sports game."

[blondecanary]

"Yup." Dinah squeezed her. "So? The game's earlier, it'll be done before dark, unless they go into extra innings. We can do it after. And hey, maybe bring her along? You think?"

That should nicely distract her.
