A dozen chocolate roses. I can't wait to try them out--they smell apocalyptic!

Best of all was the card:

Dear Mar'i,
Thank you for everything. I've never been so lucky.
Merry Christmas,
Grant

Isn't he sweet?

When I was a little kid, Selya and Dadro--mostly Dadro--spent a lot of time talking to me about what to do when I got angry, especially if I was around people who weren't as strong as me. When they found out I'd inherited Mom's starbolts, they really got worried ( Read more... )

Hoo. I know I can't do that. But kryll, I'd love to have a day of classes where someone isn't staring at me and then pretending they aren't. I know people stare at me. They've been staring at me all my life. When I was a kid they stared at me because of my eyes or because of who my family was. When I hit puberty they stared at me because of ( Read more... )

Mary's birthday was soooooo icy. Dad took her around to meet everyone, just like my dad did for me, and he took her up to the traps, only of course she couldn't fly down like I did. I would've liked to have taken her down, but I wasn't sure if I should ask ( Read more... )

It doesn't hurt as much to think about Ibn these days. I still miss him and mourn him, but the knife in my heart is dulling and only twists occasionally. It twisted when I was talking to Bette. I think I want to talk to Dad about it. Maybe I can go to the 'Haven with him when he's done with the STAR investigation. It's almost Mary's first ( Read more... )

They got Grandpa.

Dad nearly went after them by himself. The Canary stopped him.

X'hal, send confusion to his enemies. If you don't, I'll see if I can walk the Dreaming and do it myself.

Shiva was here last night. She didn't admit it, but I'm sure she's the one who killed those two people in Ibn's old apartment. Selya would approve. Dad wouldn't. I don't want to think about Grandpa's reaction ( Read more... )

I've looked everywhere I could think of, but I couldn't find him. He's not in the fortress in Tibet. He's not in the apartment here in San Francisco--I just checked there. Everywhere I go, I meet a lot of very polite people who work for him. If "work" is the word. I don't think "minions" fits either. They're very kind to me, but they won't ( Read more... )

I could go lots of places for Thanksgiving this year. Wayne Manor, or the Titans ... I could probably get an invitation to the JLA/JSA party if I wanted, but I don't.

What I really want to do is find Ibn.

So ... I think I will.

I've caught up on my sleep, and I want to go back to California--I bet it's sunnier in San Francisco than it is here--but Oracle's asked me to stay and be the metahuman on call until the Canary's found. How can I tell her no? I can't ( Read more... )
