Reyes house, Late Night, Christmas Eve, El Paso Texas

[heromaniac]

The nightmare started out as the usual kind: Momoko walking down the streets of the city, any city, every city... except everyone is gone and all over the city streets are scrawls in paint, blood, or ash, "Where are you Blossom?" "Why did you leave?" "Save us" "We are dying" and more. She sees tattered clothes on lines, drapes fluttering through

"It's not," a soft voice said from the doorway. Jaime was leaning against the doorjamb. Who knew how long he'd been standing there?

[weldedtomyspine]

"Hey, it's not my fault you were so distracting at the time."

[heromaniac]

Another chuckle. "Distracting? You seemed pretty focused, if I remember right."

"It's been getting better, right?"

[weldedtomyspine]

"Getting better?" Jaime blinked. "Er, oh, you mean the thing with your costume?"

[heromaniac]

That made her laugh hard enough that she had to turn her face into him for fear of waking everyone.

[weldedtomyspine]

"What's so funny?" Jaime asked, trying to sound indignant even as he let his arms wrap around her in a little hug.

[heromaniac]

"You weren't thinking about my costume," she managed.

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime flushed. "I told you it was distracting," he muttered into her hair.

[heromaniac]

"You do know 'distracting' means it's not going to work as a battle costume." Momoko reached her arms around him and squeezed. "If I end up in long sleeves and baggy overalls, it will be your fault."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Hey, you've seen Black Canary's costume," Jaime pointed out. "She seems to think she can do distracting and fighting at the same time."

[heromaniac]

Momoko rolled her eyes. "Old!Dinah would be distracting even if she was in long sleeves and baggy overalls. It's totally her extra superpower."

"And you'd better not be distracted when you work with her."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Um. Of course not?"

[heromaniac]

Momoko pinched his side. "Right. Old!Dinah and Supergirl."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Who?" Jaime said, squirming slightly at the pinch and trying to look innocent despite his grin.

[heromaniac]

"You know, Supergirl. The brunette hero in the super long skirt?" Momoko prompted, teasing.

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime snickered. "Nope, not ringing a bell."
