JLU Drabble: Dressed for Success
More of the Role of a Lifetime series.
Dressed for Success
"So what do you think?"
Rex stands before her in the new suit he's designed, nervous as anything. He's starting his own career in the family business, and he's dressed for the part:
A mask, to show his pride in his Thanagarian half.
Nth metal in the armor, to protect him.
Wings, because even with the jetpack, he's longed for them all his life.
Her gaze is drawn to the hawk's head in profile on his chest, just like what she wore two lifetimes ago, and she knows he'll misread the mist in her eyes as she says, "It's perfect."
