You can't help but feel sorry for her. Going from happy and accepted to alone, rejected and confused.
There's something familiar about that.
You look up just in time to see Dick blame her for everything that's happened in the past year and you aren't surprised at the pang of empathy that you feel. Dick notices you and spares you your very own scathing look. You just use that action to fully acknowledge a forced kinship between you and Gia Goodman.
Except you have to admit that her pain may just cut her a little more deeply because unlike you, she has no support.
Speaking of which, you notice your dad walking in and rush to hug him because the relief of seeing him alive hasn't faded and you don't think it ever will.
Still, when you turn and see the hurt/pain/hate in her eyes, your glee diminishes just a little.
You watch her try to control her emotions by staring at the wall and you feel the urge to go impart your reluctant wisdom- except what would you say?
You're happy and a little uncertain when you see Logan sit next to her but then you're just grateful to see some sign of life in Gia’s eyes. Even if it is just tears.
Logan slips her a piece of paper before getting up and making his way to you.
"What did you say to her?" you finally ask.
"I warned her about what's going to happen before she became us," he answered simply.
You nod and start to leave with your dad and Logan. As you reach the door you turn back and mourn another broken life of Neptune
