[Harleen's apartment] Home again, home again. Jiggity jig?

Jul 05, 2005 19:43

The trip back is not as scenic as the flight Harleen had taken to the Caribbean. To be honest, the teleportation was a bit disorienting and made her a little woozy. However, there was no time to rest or to recuperate from jet-lag (teleportation lag ( Read more... )

On the third ring, a slightly faint voice answers, "Hello?"

harlene_quinzel July 6 2005, 00:07:36 UTC

"Rosie? It's Harleen. I'm home now. ... Are you OK?"

twitchnosewitch July 6 2005, 00:14:30 UTC

"Fine. Fine." A pause. "You got home quickly."

harlene_quinzel July 6 2005, 00:22:57 UTC

"Ha. Yeah..yeah. I'm meeting more and more people who can help me with that. I may never need to eat airline food again!"

He laughter is a little hollow and ends abruptly.

"I'll come down to the asylum right now. Afraid I'll have to take a cab for this trip, though. I'll get there as soon as I can get a ride."

twitchnosewitch July 6 2005, 00:27:18 UTC

"Want me to come get you?"

harlene_quinzel July 6 2005, 00:34:15 UTC

"Sure. If you don't mind. I'm ready, so any time is good."

Harleen twirls the phone cord nervously around her finger as she talks. Even though she knows Rosie uses magic, it still feels imposing to ask for rides. She imagined she'd sound foolish saying so.

A moment later, and Rosie appears in a blink, midway through turning off her cell. She looks quite pale. "Hey again."

harlene_quinzel July 6 2005, 02:15:03 UTC

Harleen turns suddenly, but tries not to look startled. She slips the phone receiver back onto Felix the Cat's plastic arm.

"Hey...um. Rosie, are you sure you're OK? After we get back to Arkham, you should take off and go home I think."

twitchnosewitch July 6 2005, 02:17:37 UTC

"I'm all right." She rubs the side of her neck a little. "Maybe I do need to rest."

harlene_quinzel July 6 2005, 02:27:24 UTC

"Well, I'll take the pressure off of you for a while so you can relax a little. Heck, it's the least I can do after leaving you all alone!"

Harleen smiles, hoping that maybe it would be contagious. She didn't like seeing Rosie so worn out and she felt like it was her fault.

twitchnosewitch July 6 2005, 02:28:57 UTC

She smiles and gives Harleen a hug. "Thank you. Ready to go?"

harlene_quinzel July 6 2005, 02:37:12 UTC

"Yep. Ready as I'll ever be! Beam me up, Rosie! Haha."

The joke was terrible, but it was out there now and there was no stopping it.
Besides, the time for frivolity would be over as soon as they got to Arkham.

She smirks and beeps Harleen's nose before twitching them into Jonathan's office.
