Inbox for Avalon

You've reached Morgan Knight.
And I'm not here.
Go.

You could call it that.

[ She would say she was cleaning up her own mess and trying to satisfy her own pride, but apples and oranges. She does vividly remember dragging her broken body up half a flight of stairs and across one roof trying to find Batman before she passed out. Even she's impressed by how much pain she can still function with. ]

And it's probably good for you to know the limits of my healing power.

[ Someday she'll have to tell him the story of her pretend death. Only not, because nobody ever needs to hear the entirety of that story.

She doesn't answer for a time, though there's half a wry smile on her lips as she stares absently at the empty ice cream carton. Is that what she really wants, underneath it all? To make a difference? He's raised some good questions, and they're going to take some serious thought. What exactly is it that she's been trying to prove all these years, and why? She might end up on a high rooftop after all, just to get her thoughts in order. ]


I really just did that for me, you know. I was having a pretty rough time.
ichoosefight: (omnomnom?)

[ She blinks at him. He's not wrong, but... ]

...What do people usually do when they've been grieving for too long? Like, normal people who don't hide from their problems on top of gargoyles.

[ That's a serious question, Gotham doesn't do grief in any kind of normal way. ]
ichoosefight: (so detective what brings you here?)

[ This time she understands, pretty immediately. She keeps her face straight as she slowly raises one eyebrow. Honestly, that doesn't seem much healthier than brooding on gargoyles. But if he had perfect mental health they probably wouldn't be friends. ]

...I'm not sure that's how that works.
ichoosefight: (maybe one more night)

[personal profile] ichoosefight 2022-08-03 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh she's sure. But she looks elsewhere, staring into space with an almost neutral expression. She's not sure the party really helped. Maybe it was just the passage of time. Maybe she's still just going through the motions. ]

I just... didn't expect to lose everything all at once. Not just people. My home, my city, my planet. I always hoped that it was still right there, on the other side of the dome.
ichoosefight: (pout)

[ She ducks her head and bites her lip. She's really afraid that they won't be able to meet again outside of Avalon. That once their job here is done it will be like it never happened, and they won't remember. Or that the moment she's sent back home she'll cease to exist along with everything else. It's not a question anyone could answer with certainty, so she keeps it to herself. ]

I guess that's what really bothers me. That I tried and failed once already. That... That every time I try to make things better I end up making them worse.

[ She shoots him a wry smile, then sighs and drops her chin on her crossed arms on the table. ]

I dunno. I'm just feeling sorry for myself, I guess.
ichoosefight: (casual glance)

[personal profile] ichoosefight 2022-08-11 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Her lips twitch, but he's being too sweet for her to hold a grimace. Of course she's not allowed to feel sorry for herself. But she can't say that, because it's not a mindset she has any intention of changing, so there's no point arguing about it. Instead she watches him fiddle with her hair. ]

Well, I have had worse. And I did decide to come back to life eventually.

[ Doesn't make it suck less, though. ]
ichoosefight: (better)

[personal profile] ichoosefight 2022-08-22 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She smiles. That's sweet, and what's more, she actually trusts him to hold to it. Which is kind of a big deal, given her romantic history. ]

Well, of course. You know how incredibly high my standards are.
ichoosefight: (pleased)

[personal profile] ichoosefight 2022-08-27 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She hums her agreement and closes her eyes. Getting emotional is exhausting. So is eating two quarts of ice cream. Maybe she can just sleep through the inevitable stomach-ache... ]

True. You can't get under a bar that's already on the floor.
ichoosefight: (oh you)

[personal profile] ichoosefight 2022-09-03 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. Don't make me angry, Morgan. You won't like me when I'm angry.

[ She grins wickedly up at him, still stretched out on the table. ]

Not for long, anyway.
ichoosefight: (i am who i am)

[personal profile] ichoosefight 2022-09-05 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She was trying a little, but she did think that being laid out like a bum would take away from the effect. Her smile turns smug. Clearly when you have a stomachache from eating too much ice cream some vigorous exercise is the best cure, right? ]

All of the above?
ichoosefight: (fondness)

[personal profile] ichoosefight 2022-09-10 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I already knew that.

[ The one and only thing she has confidence in: her bod. ]
