[ that's it. guess who definitely wasn't expecting to be on a train to new tokyo? yeah. ]

Comments

[shorelined]

I agree, it was disconcerting.

[ he usually has better control than that ]

[reneger]

remember anything that happened between waking up and falling asleep?

[shorelined]

I remember many things happening, although I think they were happening in my mind, not elsewhere.

[reneger]

things like what?

[shorelined]

While I was undercover, one member of the team, M'gann, entered my mind on the assumption that I had truly switched sides and all but wiped it, putting me in a vegetative state.

My mind was broken. I was back in it, Black Manta's men attacking.

[reneger]

sounds messy
you doing okay?

private

[shorelined]

I am fine.

private

[reneger]

sure you're not just putting on a tough face for the crowd?

private

[shorelined]

I will not say that it has not affected me at all, but it is nothing I have not handled before.

private

[reneger]

comes with the job title, doesn't it?
dealing with a shitton of fucked up crap because it's your job, your responsibility, and your burden
it's stupid

private

[shorelined]

In the early years of the Team, we spoke to Black Canary often.

[ he misses it. it had often helped. ]

private

[reneger]

guess it's time to find yourself a new therapist

private

[shorelined]

I do not think I will find one here I can be equally open with.

private

[reneger]

you've got dick

private

[shorelined]

Your brother?

private

[reneger]

sure

private

[shorelined]

No, I do not think so.

[ he hardly imagines dick will want to listen to him unburdening himself ]

private

[reneger]

he makes a great sounding board

private

[shorelined]

I do not doubt it.

[ but even with dick reaching out now, he still doubts dick would appreciate it. he doesn't blame him, for all that he wishes things were different. ]

private

[reneger]

or you can talk to me

private

[shorelined]

I do not wish to burden you.

[ especially if it is a one-sided thing. easier to just carry it all himself. ]

private

[reneger]

would it make you feel better if i shared my dark, tragic past too?

private

[shorelined]

If it would help you as well, yes.

private

[reneger]

k
find me

( as he sits in a car lounging in one of the seats with his feet up on the one in front of him like a total ass. )

[shorelined]

[ it takes a while, but eventually, kaldur does. ]

Is this seat taken?

[ utterly polite, except for how one of his eyebrows rises ]
