mun is dragging her feet all over the place

[weirdkid]

I know I'm ready. You're the one afraid to move forward... on both accounts.

Ready for wot?

[weirdkid]

Did you see how many of our superheroes have disappeared?

[easy_a]

Wouldn't know how many were "superheroes," but yeah. A shitload of people vanished.

[Barry, what are you doing to do]

[weirdkid]

Half of the Avengers are gone, a Young Avenger, Professor Xavier... Plus a lot of other people who were helping us fictionals.

[easy_a]

Well, shit.

Glad I didn't know them.

[Yes, as a matter of fact, that is the appropriate response. Losing people hurts; the less she knew of them, the less she has to go through emotionally.]

[weirdkid]

Two of them were my professors, but I didn't know the others personally.

[He understands her feelings and doesn't judge her, even if his are the opposite. At least Alisha wasn't hurt.]

I wish I could have, though. I've waited too long.

[easy_a]

[Well, she wasn't hurt by the disappearance of anyone he listed.]

Look, you didn't know they were going to just up and vanish. No one did. You didn't wait too long; they left too early.

[So there.]

[weirdkid]

Maybe. But it doesn't change the fact that I need to try and make contact with some of the vigilantes who are left.

[easy_a]

Please tell me you won't be jumping around across rooftops and shit.

[weirdkid]

That usually goes with the territory, yes.

[easy_a]

Oh, for fuck's sake... you're going to get yourself hurt.

[weirdkid]

I haven't yet.

[Not too badly, anyways... and unless Tim shows up, he doesn't plan on dying.]

[easy_a]

Doesn't mean you won't. I don't know shit about first aid, so don't come running to me if you get proper mangled.

[That's code for: YOU BETTER NOT GET HURT OR I WILL BE VERY UPSET. BE SAFE.]

[weirdkid]

[He's pretty good at deciphering Alisha's code, by now.]

That's all right. I can take care of myself.

[easy_a]

You better.

[It's bad enough having the one person she actually allowed herself to get close to disappear. She doesn't want to think the only other person capable of gaining that same trust would get himself badly injured... or worse.]
