Elisa's back in the Nexus after a bit of a long absence.  Events in her own reality, most notably the adoption of several hatchlings from another clan as well as the impending birth of her niece, along with all kinds of other stuff common to super-heroes guardians like her.

So she's sitting on a convenient Nexus couch, looking a bit thoughtful.  "

"Well, my parents used to let me play whenever I wanted, on my birthday. You could try something like that."

[elisa_garg]

"Just... two, in my immediate circle. Broadway's kind of a blue-green too, if you wanna get technical."

Elisa chuckle, then shook her head. "Yeah. I'm tired."

[vicioussweetie]

Elisa gets a sympathetic look. "I know how it is."

[elisa_garg]

"And yet... I don't think I'd have it any other way."

[vicioussweetie]

"Neither would I."

[almost_adonis]

"Hi, mom." Alured-the-teen sounds a little sheepish. "Well, no, you never really stopped."

[vicioussweetie]

Ali smiles, while little-Alured stares. He doesn't see a lot of other green people!

"Well, I'm glad I haven't become a miserable tyrant in my old age," she jokes, keeping little-Alured's grabby hands from grabbing. "And how have you been?"

[almost_adonis]

"Tyrant? You?" He laughs. "C'mon, mom."

He waves hello to his younger self, and if younger him wants a hand to nom, he'll get it. Check out the timey-wimey ball, kid. "I'm great, mom, we're all great. So, um, when are we?"

[vicioussweetie]

"Well, you never know. Brain injury?"

Alured would very much like a hand to nom and a timey-wimey ball, please; though he's too young to know what the second is just yet.

"I'm glad to hear that." Ali really is, though she wouldn't admit to having been holding her breath. "Nexus. As you can see, this little guy is about a year and a half old, so that's when he and I are from."

[almost_adonis]

"Like Mother would ever let you stay hurt? Or anyone else we know?" Ali gets a hug. "A year and a half. Yeah, those days are mostly kind of a blur. A tasty blur, but a blur nonetheless."

[vicioussweetie]

Hugs are good. Ali likes this plan.

"At least it was tasty. I hope I'm a better cook in the future."

[almost_adonis]

"You're a great cook, mom. Your schnitzel's the best!" Yay for trans-temporal hugs!

[vicioussweetie]

"Oh really? I'll keep that in mind."

And she will! It makes her wonder things.

[almost_adonis]

"So, if I'm a year and a half... where's Amaris?"

[vicioussweetie]

"Not born yet. She'll be here in a few more months." Ali smiles excitedly. "If Sasha were here I'm sure you'd be able to say hello, but she's a bit tired these days."

[almost_adonis]

He nods. "She'll need the rest." And, chuckling, he adds, "uh, please don't tell sis I said that?"
