The Clocktower, New Gotham City, Sunday Afternoon

Jun 26, 2011 12:29

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!]

And right this moment, Dinah's phone is ringing.

Someone needs talking down.

Dinah blinked as the theme from Zorro played on her phone, and she said, "Hang on, I gotta take this." She took it out and sang out, "Clock Tower fan franchise, home of the Number One supporters of the New Gotham Knights! What's the yell for today?"

Jaime didn't respond with the usual banter.

"I don't know what to do," he said, keeping his voice soft to hide the panic.

Whut-oh? Dinah held up a finger to everyone, and headed to the gym so she could talk a little more privately. "What's wrong?" she asked, keeping her own voice down.

"It all went wrong!" he said. "I... I tried to talk to Momoko," like Dinah had said he should. "But... it didn't work."

Re: Before a certain Redhead lands on the Clock face blondecanary June 27 2011, 03:01:18 UTC

"Didn't work how?" Dinah asked, sitting down on one of the practice mats, then adding, "Breathe. We'll figure this out. What did she say?"

Re: Before a certain Redhead lands on the Clock face weldedtomyspine June 27 2011, 03:03:17 UTC

"Nothing!" Jaime's tiny semblance of control slipped away.

"She just flew off! And I could tell she was crying!"

Re: Before a certain Redhead lands on the Clock face blondecanary June 27 2011, 03:04:42 UTC

"Oh, crap," Dinah blurted, then rubbed her forehead, eyes closed. "So, you said 'I want to talk about the future,' and she freaked out and flew away?"

Re: Before a certain Redhead lands on the Clock face weldedtomyspine June 27 2011, 03:14:52 UTC

Jaime nodded until he realized that she couldn't see him.

"Yeah. She didn't talk, just... put on that super-fake smile of hers," the one that made him want to beat the crap out of whoever had put it on her face, "and ran off."

Re: Before a certain Redhead lands on the Clock face blondecanary June 27 2011, 03:16:35 UTC

Yeah, Dinah knew that one. She kinda hated it too.

"That makes no sense. At all." Dinah grimaced. "What exactly did you say?"

Re: Before a certain Redhead lands on the Clock face weldedtomyspine June 27 2011, 03:23:19 UTC

"That I didn't want to make the same mistake I'd made before. That I wanted to talk about what we were going to do about the future."

And then... she'd stormed off.

Re: Before a certain Redhead lands on the Clock face blondecanary June 27 2011, 03:25:56 UTC

"Okay. Hunh." Dinah frowned. "Either she's in denial, or... this might be like you guys trying to say you liked each other, and ending up almost thinking you wanted to be 'just friends.'" Dinah was betting on the latter.

Re: Before a certain Redhead lands on the Clock face weldedtomyspine June 27 2011, 03:30:37 UTC

"But... I tried to be clear!"

Tried and failed, Jaime. Failed like a huge failing fail-y thing, in fact.

Re: Before a certain Redhead lands on the Clock face blondecanary June 27 2011, 03:32:42 UTC

"Okay, breathe!" Man, this sucked for him. Dinah wished he were here to hug. "This is not a disaster. You guys can talk again. When she's, you know, calmer. And maybe with chocolate truffles?"

Re: Before a certain Redhead lands on the Clock face weldedtomyspine June 27 2011, 03:38:14 UTC

"I haven't seen her since yesterday, though!"

Jaime apparently wasn't taking Dinah's very good 'breathe' advice to heart.

Re: Before a certain Redhead lands on the Clock face blondecanary June 27 2011, 03:47:00 UTC

"She is going to come back. Or I'll help you track her down," Dinah said firmly. "And you can apologize for upsetting her, and she can listen, and you can ask her what she wants, and then you'll work it out, I swear." She paused. "And if it doesn't work, you still get to come visit and get hugs."
