On it being THAT day

[chiefdefense]

You know you really don't need to go using up your data allowance just to- oh look you're doing it anyway. That's really thoughtful, going to all this trouble just to commemorate a day I really wish had never happened. Or is happening. Or... oh great, now we're looking at a time paradox.

See, I told you not to post something, now you've gone cross eyed.

Well, when you can focus again, I'll be over here looking at crash helmets on eBay.

[...Not that it will help me anyway.]

[Have a protegé hugging you and burying his face in your shoulder. Something he's probably never done because lol professionalism or attempt at it anyway.]

Time paradoxes mean it ends up not happening, right??

[chiefdefense]

[Oh Phoenix. Have an awkward shoulder pat.]

I don't think it works like that, Phoenix.

It was worth a shot. [siiiigh] Sometimes I still wonder if your boyfriend had the right idea blaming me. I didn't help you out...and maybe if I'd been there Maya wouldn't have been arrested.

Diego...

[She sighs and looks sadly wistful for a moment.]

Look, let's not talk about his ideas. That line of thinking didn't help him and it won't help you, so don't do that to yourself, okay? It happened. If you want to blame someone then blame White. Blame me. I went pushing a dangerous man too far and didn't watch my own back. I didn't let you know what was going on, it could have been you or Maya he attacked.

I'm not going to say it's better this way but... What's done is done. There comes a time where you have to let it go or it will eat you up and ruin you.

Well, someone had to put a stop to him, he had the entire legal system on their knees. [And he's glad they finally did, but did it have to cost someone close to him her life?]

...yeah, I know. Usually I just remember everything you taught me, so it's not like you're completely gone. That, and Maya or Pearls can channel you anytime they want. [small laugh] We sure do miss actually seeing you, though.

[chiefdefense]

I miss seeing you guys, I really do. I'm luckier than most that I can still see you from time to time, even if it's not quite the same. Someone has to keep an eye on you, make sure you're looking after Charley and the office. You know.

[she smiles]

Not that I really need to keep that close of an eye on you all, you're doing just fine. I'm so proud of you guys, don't ever forget that.
