Steph's talk with Batman has cleared up precisely nothing. It's nearing daylight by the time the window slides up soundlessly again and she slips inside, cloak blending with the shadows, tired and only wanting to slide into bed with a snuggly, snoring boyfriend. Which she promptly does.
Somewhere that's way too early in the morning, the warm ( Read more... ) -

Suki and Toph and Katara are nice, and sweet, and fun, but they're not her family and they've been driving for like three days now, stopping every half-hour so Toph can fix this pothole or that, or lift this tree or that out of the road. The car smells and the constant driving is giving her a headache. And Sokka's busily stressing himself out, ( Read more... ) -

Metropolis is awesome!
And shops! Shops are awesome!
And Claire! Claire is awesome too! ... because when Steph unsubtly made an excuse for she and Sokka to wander off alone, Claire had smirked and winked at her and helped distract Zinda.
So now she has a Metropolis, and a Sokka, and hours and hours before meeting the others, and it's all basic' ( Read more... ) -

She was trying not to listen, but with the younger Sokka shouting loud enough to wake her up in the first place and the older one intense and angry, it was kind of hard to avoid overhearing anyway.
