"This is Dinah Lance! Leave a number or text and I'll probably get back to you as soon as I'm done texting or talking to whoever I'm on the phone with right this very second."

Momoko hit send on the report to Oracle about the mission in Columbia. Her hands were still glowing from the stupid new weird metals she'd found and she made sure to mention that. Often.
That done, she had one more thing on her to-do list for the day. She reached for her phone, the little hummingbird icon flittering on her laptop screen as her report was being encrypted and transmitted.

Dinah, are you finally home for a check-in from your BFF?

There was a really long pause there, as Dinah petted Camille.
"I... don't know. I mean. I do want to talk, sorta. I just." She shook her head. "So so busy, so much to catch up on, and. If you could be here tonight, sure, but this is last minute and... this weekend I work and I have homework and..."

"We can talk now." You weren't fooling her, Dinah Lance. As soon as her report was confirmed received, Momoko was going to log onto Portalocity's website and check for portals.
"Dinah, what's wrong? We've been different people before... what happened after I had to leave?"

Momoko frowned. She was hearing something in Dinah's voice but she wasn't sure what. "That you and Priestly were dating. Or at least together. Very together. And you seemed..."
Hmm.
"It was like you both thought you were the only ones you could trust? Or maybe no one else was worth trusting." Totally a lonely way to live. "And you didn't like me very much."
Ah! "But I wasn't hurt! I know it wasn't you! Either of you! I promise!"

"I'm still sorry," Dinah said, her voice low. "She didn't like anyone who wasn't Priestly, really. And like isn't the right word for what was going on there." She blew out a short breath, and plunged in. "We were criminals, Momoko. Thieves. Arsonists. Killers. Fandom was our hideout."

Dinah was quiet a minute. "It was the guy who killed my mom, Momoko. I've wanted him dead a long time. I just..." It was hard to articulate. "I don't want Reese's dad to die, is the thing. And they're the same person. So I want it, and I don't, and -- the other me, she didn't even know Reese, so..."
Re: Wednesday Evening, 04/02/2014blondecanaryApril 6 2014, 04:24:53 UTC
"Yeah. That much is real clear." Dinah swallowed, and sighed. "I just... this is the first time Prieslty's been, you know. Evil. Not just crazy. And-- It's hitting him hard."
Re: Wednesday Evening, 04/02/2014heromaniacApril 6 2014, 04:53:20 UTC
"I'll call him." Momoko went back in her mind to the text she'd gotten from him. He hadn't sounded as bad as Dinah was thinking... Not that a text could reveal much. "At the moment, I'm more worried about how it's hitting you. You sound more messed up than usual."
Re: Wednesday Evening, 04/02/2014blondecanaryApril 6 2014, 05:01:04 UTC
Dinah was quiet a long minute.
"I really hurt Priestly. Worse, I scared him. We scared ourselves. I..." She grimaced. "My telepathy was on full-blast for two weeks. It messed with us both. I did."
That done, she had one more thing on her to-do list for the day. She reached for her phone, the little hummingbird icon flittering on her laptop screen as her report was being encrypted and transmitted.

...she's just been busy. Being busy.
And it's 48-some-hours since everything went to hell, so. Time to woman up.
"Hey, Momoko." And if that lacks bounce, it's not like you weren't warned.

Rambliness, always a great sign.

Which was a pretty sweeping question, but did give her a place to start.

But somehow it was. Maybe precisely because of that.
"Maybe because I still want him dead."

"But that's good that you know that you're conflicted again. It shows you're back."

And I think he hates me was not said. Not yet.
