49 - Voice - This isn't Africa.

Apr 23, 2011 13:42

If you're trying to freak me out, it isn't going to work. It's a nice imitation of my room back home, but you sort of forgot the windows. And this sure as heck isn't a cell phone. We haven't had decent reception for months. The only thing I don't understand is what you want with me specifically. Why go to all this trouble for a dead girl? Nobody's ( Read more... )

girl's got issues, i totally know what i'm doing, i should be indignant or something, the techno zombie flood was better, fuck you too admiral

HI GUESS WHO littlebirdagain April 24 2011, 00:53:57 UTC

...Dead girl?

[Spam!] littlebirdagain April 24 2011, 02:20:14 UTC

[He jerks a thumb over his shoulder.] I think this is my room.

[Spam!] ichoosefight April 24 2011, 02:21:43 UTC

[ She sticks her hands in her pocket. ]

Better than my room. It's still creeping me out.

[Spam!] littlebirdagain April 24 2011, 02:39:33 UTC

I can imagine. [Aaand he's turning to open the door, stepping back to hold it for her.]

[Spam!] ichoosefight April 24 2011, 02:43:41 UTC

[ She peers around. It's been a while, but his room is definitely different then she remembers. None the less, she takes a seat on his bed. Takes a deep breath. Without looking at him, she begins to speak. ]

I've been in Africa for the last few months. It's been... geez, maybe seven or eight? It's hard to keep track.

As far as anyone at home knows, I'm dead.'

I couldn't-- I can't-- Some really bad stuff happened, and I'm not. A vigilante anymore.

[Spam!] littlebirdagain April 24 2011, 02:46:04 UTC

[Oh. Woah. Tim freezes, staring. What the hell. D:] What do you mean, they think you're dead? What happened?

[Spam!] ichoosefight April 24 2011, 02:56:27 UTC

It's not something I'm comfortable talking about. Just... they have good reason to think so.

Leslie took me with her out of Gotham.

[Spam!] littlebirdagain April 24 2011, 03:07:49 UTC

[Aaaand he is going over to sit on the bed next to her, reaching for one of her hands.] So I'm going to think you're dead?

[Spam!] ichoosefight April 24 2011, 03:10:32 UTC

[ She pulls away, putting her head in her hands. ]

I can't go back. And you can't leave. I'm sorry Tim.

[Spam!] littlebirdagain April 24 2011, 03:22:38 UTC

[He stares, then his shoulders slump, and he leans forward, elbows on his knees. He's staring at the floor.]

I don't get it. Did something happen to us?

[Spam!] ichoosefight April 24 2011, 03:30:32 UTC

I love you, Tim. I always have. I just can't be with you without feeling... helpless. Useless. A hundred other things. Not after what happened. Not when...

Please don't hate me.

[Spam!] littlebirdagain April 24 2011, 04:41:06 UTC

I could never hate you! [He's straightening up to look at her, confused and frustrated as hell.] I don't - I don't know why you'd feel like that, Steph, but I'm-- [He's reaching for her hand again, hoping she doesn't shake him off.] I'm sorry.

[Spam!] ichoosefight April 24 2011, 07:10:31 UTC

[ She takes it this time, and squeezes. ]

Because I wasn't good enough. I was so scared... When I should have been more like you. You make me want to put the cape back on and I just can't.

[Spam!] littlebirdagain April 24 2011, 16:59:17 UTC

[He falls silent, holding onto her hand.] So you just...you let me think you're dead? Steph, I don't...[He has no idea what he's going to do, because he gets that she was hurt and he already wants to kill someone over it. And now it's his turn to not know where they stand.]

[Spam!] ichoosefight April 24 2011, 17:02:36 UTC

[ Quietly, although she's still holding something back, ] I'd rather be dead than have you hate me for ending it like a coward.

[Spam!] littlebirdagain April 24 2011, 17:09:03 UTC

[And cue the alarm.] What's that supposed to mean?
