Holly's phone number will get her a busy signal, but Holly is at home - standing in the kitchen, leaning on the counter, chatting on the phone with Karon.
Selina comes in through the window, as she does when she's in a hurry or being sneaky or pretty much any old time she feels like it. "Holly?" Oh please let her be here.
Please.
Coming into the kitchen area, there is a profound sense of relief as she sees the younger woman but... the dread doesn't go away as she closes the distance between them.
"I know." At this point the response is almost conditioned.
"You're still here." Selina lets out a breath slowly, calming down just a bit. "Everyone has been ... fading away." She closes the distance between herself and the younger woman, hesitant to reach out and attempt to touch her.
Raining... It wasn't raining before was it? When she went into Holly's apartment? Selina is almost wandering aimlessly by this point, looking for something familiar - terrified to find someone she knows. They're...
No. Something is fucking with her and she knows it but she can't seem to calm down enough to focus, to figure out what to do next. Her heart is racing and yet she's feeling oddly detached. Some part of her mentioned, offhandedly in a dream-like fashion, that she's probably in shock.
"Shut up. SHUT UP." Great. She's talking to herself.
She doesn't look up toward the woman she knows is waiting for her over there. All of her hopes and insecurities in one woman. Selina stays on her knees looking at the ground, trying to pull herself together enough to look up, to look at her.
Diana can't vanish too... She doesn't know why this is so much harder. Maybe she's just trying to hold on to something - anything at this point. "You'll just ... fade away." Strangely for all that she doesn't talk to Diana all that much, Wonder Woman vanishing would be like a color going missing. The world would just not be right.

Then her expression becomes concerned.
"Selina? What's wrong?"

Helped to save her life. Twice. Even helped save Bruce's life. Twice.
Right now, he's outside his office, hat on in the rain, locking up for the night.

And as that were a cue - she sees Harvey.

"You have one, too, now? A voice in your head, I mean."

Selina shivers, looking at the ground because the ground seems safe. It hasn't tilted oddly or drifted away.
"God, I know don't."

"Selina, what is wrong?"
She touches down lightly to the pavement with a look of concern on her face.

"Will you not even look at me?"
