I'm Back, Again

[killer_hush]

And god-fucking-dammit Dolly, did you have to eat all the snacks?

Comments

[kara_zor_lol]

Huh. Where'd you run off to?

[killer_hush]

Bermuda. Getting my tan on.

[kara_zor_lol]

Oh god, that sounds amazing. I haven't had a vacation in fuck if I can remember how long.

[killer_hush]

You could always come with next time.

[kara_zor_lol]

Mmm, maybe. How was it?

[killer_hush]

It was really relaxing. Drinking on the beach, having people serve you, swimming, sunshine, late bedtimes and later mornings.

Fuck now I want to go back.

[kara_zor_lol]

Well, why the heck did you come back?

[killer_hush]

I don't know, obligation? Dolly? A monomaniacal need to finish some business?

[kara_zor_lol]

I'm sure the kid's been doing fine on his own. He hasn't dropped dead yet, and I'm positive I've seen him around Metropolis.

So, forgive me for prying but, wasn't there someone else living with you two?

[killer_hush]

Oh, yeah. She, uh...she left.

Me.

And uh, Gotham.

I don't really know.

[kara_zor_lol]

Left? Just... took off, ditched the city? That's so- I mean, she left her plants, too?

And, um. I'm sorry.

[killer_hush]

Yeah, that's pretty much how it happened. I still visit Harvest to make sure he gets fed, but...yeah.

And it's fine. It's probably karma or some other universal shit.

[kara_zor_lol]

That's... wow. It's, uh, good that you're taking care of him.

I don't think karma works that way. Sounds more like "fickle fiancée with virulent biochemical imbalances."

[killer_hush]

Could be that. But I was shitty to a past fiancée, so it'd make sense.

[kara_zor_lol]

I guess. Still sucks, though. Losing people you care about.

[killer_hush]

Sure does. Sometimes you can feel like the loneliest person in the world.
