23 Griffin Way, Porch, Sunday Night

Hayley hadn't tried to track down the girl from yesterday. For one thing, she was sporting a black eye and her face still ached from the blow she'd taken. She was a semi-trained professional vigilante, but even then she'd been caught completely off guard

It hadn't taken too long for Elle Penny Starsmore to figure out that her mother was on this island. While it might have been a little crazy to go see her, even Elle had to admit that crazy might just be in her blood.

She hadn't told her father, she didn't want to worry him. She started to wonder if that had been a big mistake when she started walking up the way to the porch where her mother was sitting.

It was out in the open, though. She could run if things got bad, if her mother was... well, if she was just like her mother. She raised an eyebrow when she got close enough to see the black eye, though.

"Still picking losing fights?" she said, though she silently regretted it. She'd been hoping not to give away her identity at all.

"What?" Hayley said, looking up from her beer with an expression of annoyance. "What business is it of yours?"

She didn't recognize the blue girl, and didn't have any reason to suspect anything, at least not right away.

"I guess it isn't, not yet," Elle said, giving up on playing coy.

She sat down next to Hayley on those front steps and sighed.

"Try to kidnap me and I'll black your other eye, just so you know."

"What?" Hayley said, staring at the kid incredulously. "Why the hell would I kidnap anyone?"

She whimpered and finished her beer. "You're my kid too?"

She needed a cigarette. And another drink.
