[ There's a tv on somewhere offscreen, tuned into coverage of the volcano eruption. Kon is seated in front of the camera, in a white t-shirt and glasses, trying to ignore it. He only turned it on to find out what day it was ( Read more... )

[Tim had been in Italy, fighting off his angst by helping out, but he was paying enough attention to the network broadcasts that it's only a few seconds before he's back at the Tower. He recognised that room in the background, just about, and he knows that Kon would head back to the Tower as soon as he came back from being killed by the Joker anyway. There's an almost cartoonish rush of red and black and a trail of soot and dust, and then Tim is standing in front of Kon, just. Staring at him with an unreadable expression as he drags off his cowl.

Thank god for superspeed, or this reunion wouldn't be happening for a few hours.]

[ Kon had known as soon as he saw what had happened in Italy that Tim - and most likely, everyone else that he knew - was there. He wasn't expecting a response at all, let alone someone just suddenly being in the room. He jumps a bit, when Tim blurs to a stop. ]

Hey.

[ The silence was really uncomfortable, ok. But he doesn't know what else to say, rubs his palm against his cheek to stall. That ate up a whole five seconds. ]

You didn't have to come back.

[action] 123youreit September 11 2010, 20:33:05 UTC

Of course I did.

[Doofus. Tim has been kind of tense, but after Kon actually speaks, it grounds the whole situation somehow, and the tension flows out of him, leaving him... tired, mostly. He sits on the couch next to Kon so that it's less awkward to pull him into a hug.]

I was starting to worry you weren't going to.

[ Kon twists on the couch until the hug slides into a more natural position and just. Holds Tim close. He didn't realize how much he needed a hug until he was in the middle of one. Everything's been overwhelmingly fast lately. ]

I'm like a bad penny. I'll always turn up.

Welcome back. How are you doing?

[voice] iamnotthemom September 11 2010, 21:31:33 UTC

Dying is very disorienting.

[voice] meowminx September 11 2010, 21:51:50 UTC

I remember.

Did you spend any time back home?

[voice] iamnotthemom September 11 2010, 21:56:28 UTC

No, I was just -

It was Sunday about 30 minutes ago.

Don't worry about it.

I'm glad to hear you're okay.

[ Private ] iamnotthemom September 11 2010, 21:59:35 UTC

Thanks.

... what happened?

[ Private ] batmantled September 11 2010, 22:29:04 UTC

[This reply takes a few minutes.]

He got his hands on China's nuclear arsenal. And some other stuff.

His plan was to blow up the world or goad someone into killing him first.

[ Private ] iamnotthemom September 11 2010, 22:31:22 UTC

Well... the world's still here.

[She's got tears in her eyes, but she's smiling with almost her normal level of brightness.] Oh, Kon...

I love you and I'm going to hug you a lot when I get back.

[video] iamnotthemom September 12 2010, 03:17:22 UTC

[ He gives her a small smile. ]

I like hugs.

[longest pause ever here. omg what do you... say to someone who died... ;;]

...Hey.

[voice] iamnotthemom September 12 2010, 02:58:11 UTC

[ Luckily, Kon feels that he's old hat with this. ]

Hey there.

1/2 girlyboywonder September 12 2010, 03:01:32 UTC

Uh. ...You okay?

girlyboywonder September 12 2010, 03:01:57 UTC

No, wait, stupid question, huh.
