Wired Coffee Shop, New Gotham, Sunday afternoon

[blondecanary]

The coffee shop next to campus had a good wi-fi connection, and Dinah had a communications paper due on Tuesday. Also, they had Beaver Buzz. Therefore this was her place, when she had to give Gabby space to discuss the relationship with Serena.

Also she might have been waiting for someone who'd said he'd help her with the Stats midterm.

Someone had, indeed, said that very thing. And now he was standing in the doorway looking a bit awkward as his eyes scanned the room for the cute girl he was helping with Stats.

Dinah got to the end of a paragraph and looked up, then grinned and raised her can of Buzz high, so Kyle could pick her out in the corner booth. "Over here!"

[gothamlights]

He caught sight of her just before she called out, and grinned. He threaded his way through the other tables until he was close enough to talk without yelling. "Hey, Dinah."

"Hey. Having a good weekend?" She scooted over a little to give him room, and saved her paper. "And did you figure out the last three problems on the take-home? Because I'm staring at them wondering if I missed more classes than just last week's."

After the movie--which had her laughing and throwing popcorn--Karla finally remembered to check her phone. And found Dinah's message from a week ago.

Listening to it, Karla was at a loss to respond. She was still angry, but that anger was mixed with guilt and hurt and a realization that Dinah was right and she'd been wrong.

For a minute, she debated not returning the call, but her thumb was already pressing Dinah's number.

Dinah saw the number on the phone, and her breath froze for a second, then she hit the TALK button fast enough to bruise her finger.

"Hey. Karla?"

"Hey," Karla said, her throat seeming to work of its own accord. "I'm--" Okay, she couldn't quite bring herself to apologize. "I would have called earlier, but I was an Arcerian cat for the past weekend."

"Warren told me. I called to check on him too. And Raven. " Dinah swallowed. "He said he was taking good care of you. Sounded a little worn out. I sent him a care package." Take a breath, Dinah. "How are you feeling now?"
