[Charlie is curled up on the couch in her pajamas, with a bowl of cereal. She frowns at the phone, which seems to be sitting on her knee.]

Babs is gone. Uh. Barbara. Gordon, I mean. If anyone...she wasn't here long this time, I don't know how many people talked to her anything but she's...gone. Again. Of course.

Great Christmas present, right?

How many times you figure she's been here now?

[foreverbouncing]

Since I got here?

[Since Charlie just passed a year and a half without ever getting ported out. She does some quick math.]

...Six times? She remembered the first few, then she was gone for ages and didn't, and then she remembered the second batch of times...

[batghoul]

Yeah.

[And that's it. She's pretty unhappy, too.]

Should... be used to it by now.

That reminds me, I was thinking... I stopped by a couple weeks ago and you weren't there. But Steph and Cass were and it seems like you don't have a lot of... [nutrition? people who can cook edible food?] ...desire to cook.

So I was thinking I could. For you guys, sometime. If you wanted.

Uh. Sure? [Charlie smiles faintly.]

I try to cook sometimes, I mean, I can...it's just like, easier to get pizza or chinese or something...

YES!

ALL THE DANG TIME!

It sucks.

Must be hard when you depend on her for so much.

Well, I...

I guess I kinda don't, anymore? I just miss her.
