I don't know. Kind of serious? I mean, she wasn't going to kill him or anything major like that. She said that much, but otherwise? It was more an impression I got, that she was plotting something.

If I told you - okay. Remember the doll thing that happened to Kara? That's what she did to Lex Luthor. If you had known about it in detail, would you have stopped it?
Re: *locked and double plus locked*queen_c_tmMarch 9 2007, 19:02:02 UTC
The doll thing? Yeah, kind of hard to forget that one. My first black eye.
*is actually kind of amused at the idea of Lex being possessed by a doll*
Honestly? At the time, I was pretty pissed off, and really scared for Kara, so I don't know what I would have done. I remember telling her I hoped she made him miserable, and I meant it. If she had said she was going to conjure a demon to tear him apart, I probably would have offered to help with the chanting. I'd have regretted it later, but we were all really upset then, and people don't always do the right thing when they're upset.
Am I sorry that happened to him? Sure. But part of me can't help but feel like he deserved it. Just like there will always be a small part of me that wishes I could have done something like that to Orlando. I'm not proud of it, and I would never actually do it, but it's still there.

Lex was a jerk to Kara, and when I heard what happened I kind of wanted to throw him of a balcony.
*realizes what memory that conjures and winces; it hadn't been intended*
But Cordy, you know what it's like to be possessed by someone. You know. I - I just - would you really stand by and let that happen to someone? For dumping Kara?
You know I did something worse to Kara than he did. And he never would have been her boyfriend if I had kept away from Harry the moment I realized something was going on. So why the hell does Lex Luthor get the lobotomy treatment and I get a free pass?
*locked and double plus locked*queen_c_tmMarch 9 2007, 19:30:05 UTC
Yeah, I know what it's like, and normally, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. But that doesn't stop me from being kind of glad he was miserable for a little while.
There's a difference with the two situations. For one thing, Kara didn't try to kill herself after she and Harry broke up. Whether or not Lex's actions were that bad, it was the end result we were reacting to. And for another, I couldn't have ever been that angry at you because I care about you too much. I don't give a damn about Lex. I know that's not really fair, and it really bothers Kara, but I can't help it.
*locked and double plus locked*abetterlieMarch 9 2007, 20:05:19 UTC
It wouldn't have been a little while, Cordy. If Harry hadn't noticed something was wrong and asked me to see him, it would have been forever.
I mean, I get it. That's why I can't tell anyone what really happened, because of Lex finds out, Angel and Darla would have another enemy who could harm them, and I care about them more than I care about principles and stuff. But I think - all of us really should be in jail, you know? My family. Well, not Kara, of course. But the rest of us. And the big justification for not being there is that we can do stuff other people can't. Go after bad guys, protect people. Not to do something like that. I need to believe that. I have to.
Re: *locked and double plus locked*queen_c_tmMarch 9 2007, 20:14:33 UTC
Maybe we should be in jail, but no one's perfect, Connor. We all do things we normally wouldn't to protect the people we love. I know that doesn't make it right, but that's life. It doesn't mean we aren't still good, just human.
We still go after bad guys and protect people. That won't ever change. Unless one of us gets possessed again.
*locked and double plus locked*abetterlieMarch 9 2007, 20:33:23 UTC
I'm not good, Cordy. Well, I might have been when I was mindwiped, but otherwise I'm not. I just try for not evil most days. Unless people I love get kidnapped. Some people are still in the hospital from when I was trying to find leads. And trying to figure out lines, and where they are. I guess maybe that's why this whole Lex thing is freaking me out, because you ARE good and Angel is a hero and I can't believe I said the last part it reminds me they can be anywhere.
*locked and double plus locked*queen_c_tmMarch 9 2007, 20:49:50 UTC
You ARE good, Connor. If you wren't you wouldn't have such a problem with what happened to Lex. And yeah, it's not easy sometimes to remmeber that, but if being good were easy, there'd be a LOT less evil in the world. And not as much need for people like us to help.
Sometimes it's hard to see the lines, but it doesn't mean you're evil if you end up on the wrong side now and then.
