Camp of the True Queen, Glacia, Saturday Evening (Fandom Time)

[trigons_child]

After doing her rounds of the camp to see if anyone needed any healing or help she could offer, Raven retired to her tent. It was a little lonely now, since she'd shared it with Dinah and Momoko before they'd left to take care of tasks elsewhere, but she was used to solitude.

She settled in with the book she was reading, the second in something called "The Raven Cycle." How could she resist a title like that?

Dinah was back at the Queen's Camp, thanks to needing to put in her formal notice and get her orders for going to only part-time in a few days. School was calling her name. Sam had come with her, driving the Coach on the Winds, so she could pick up mail from her daughters.

"Hey. Whatcha up to?"

[trigons_child]

"Hello, Dinah, it is nice to see you as yourself again," Raven said, closing her book.

"I am merely relaxing." And putting Momoko back together.

Dinah flopped down on the floor, smiling slightly. "Wanted to come by and say hi-and-bye, because I'm going back to New Gotham direct from our camp in a couple days. Anything you want me to bring back from there when I come back in ... right, ten days, or so, for you?"

[trigons_child]

"It is that time already?" Raven said with a sad smile. "I will miss you, but at least you will be back during weekends in your time."

She shrugged a little. "I cannot think of anything that I might want, but I will let you know if I do think of something."

"Yeeeah. School starts on Monday, so..." Dinah sighed. "And it's not like my particular talents are all that needed here, now. We need orators and maybe healers. There hasn't been much fighting. Aside from bar fights, and that's really not as helpful as you might think."

[trigons_child]

"It is a relief that the fighting has died down," Raven said, nodding. "I hope this will all be over soon."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Me too." Dinah quirked a smile. "Do you know where you guys will move in, once it's all settled? Somewhere in Sidra, or Karla's old house?"

[trigons_child]

Raven shook her head. "I do not know," she said. "We have not spoken of it yet. Karla has been busy lately."

And, well, Raven had been keeping a low profile since her emotional display at Yllestad.

"Are you doing okay?" Dinah checked. "I feel like I'm abandoning you guys."

[trigons_child]

"I am fine," Raven said. "I am becoming more accustomed to the cold. It is not too bad once you get used to it. And you are not abandoning us. The worst is past, I hope, and you have your own life to live."

Dinah twisted the ring Karla had given her on her finger. "I know. I just wish... well, mostly I wish we knew where the hell Hobart was. If we knew that, I'd feel like the rest of what needed to be done was possible."

[trigons_child]

"I would like to send him to the same hell dimension where I put Sebastian," Raven said, her expression darkening for a moment. "He cannot hide forever, not when people are now seeing him for what he truly is."

"Invite me to that party when it happens, okay?" Dinah asked. She smiled a little grimly. "Or before it happens, no matter what's happening in New Gotham."

[heromaniac]

Eeeeep!

Uhm. She meant... "DINAH!!!!" Hug time!!!

Also time to repress the most recent of events and push forward thoughts of giant robots and explosions. Yes. Because this Dinah was telepathic.

"You're late!" Dinah said, then hugged her hard. "Why are you late? Portalocity or something else?"

[heromaniac]

"I was still on that mission with old!you! Well, I was on Friday. It kind of went horribly wrong."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"What happened?" Dinah demanded, pulling back and looking Momoko over. "Did Old Me forget to duck? Did you forget to duck? Did you guys get arrested? Was there bail?"

[heromaniac]

Momoko rolled her eyes fondly and succumbed to the examination. "Old!you refused to bail!" Ha! "And I had to dump her out of the helicopter! And then I got stuck and didn't fully escape the explosion."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Didn't fully-- stuck?" Dinah stared at her, then poked at her side, eyes huge. "You got hurt! Of course other me refused to bail without you! And oh my god, how hurt are we talking?"

[heromaniac]

"I had to get it as far from the bad guys as possible!" Momoko flailed at her BFF. "It had a missile launcher, Gatling cannons, and energy weapons! And that was just the stuff that was supposed to be on it. Who knows what those crazy Intergang scientists added to the original plans when they stole it. Well, besides apparently a self-destruct."

She eyerolled. "When the explosions started, I headed for some cities instead of the desert in case we needed help. And then I had to make sure I found a spot to explode it where people wouldn't actually get hurt! And, well. You know how Professor Mode kept going on about capes? My jacket did that; totally caught on something."

Please don't notice her skipping over the 'how hurt she got' part...

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Aaaaaagh," Dinah reacted, shuddering. "You need to tape or belt that sucker down, or something-- okay, so, I'm not following all that, but did you get the bad guys? And, did you or other me get hurt? Don't think I don't see your conversation dodging there, Momo."

[heromaniac]

"The point wasn't to get the bad guys. It's a whole huge underground network or something, apparently? Oracle had rumours of a new weapon and Black Canary and I were to go in and find out if it was true, secure any evidence, do as much damage as we could get away with, and get out."

Momoko's eyes gleamed. "You should have seen it, Dinah. It was so awesome! A fully operational Vymyckach! I didn't think Takara manufacturing was anywhere near complete with even the plans, but there it was! A full 33 feet 5 inches tall and 2.9 tons of totally cool, gleaming beauty. And I got to pilot it!"

Her face fell. "And the idiots had to go and blow it up. And I lost all my models in the crash. I think Canary got the plans to Oracle, so maybe I can get some more." She'd better; that had been an awesome mecha. "Uhm. Canary had some injuries, but totally minor cause I made her jump. I, uhm. I got caught in the blast, so I had a leeeeeeeeettle more damage."

"...."

"How much more little more?" Dinah demanded. "I'm sorry about the models, but seriously, how much more?"

[heromaniac]

"I was kind of in critical condition at the STAR Labs medical facility for over 8 hours, Jaime says..." Momoko winced and ducked from what she was sure was coming.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

If you thought a squishy hug with rib-breaking possibilities was coming, you thought right.

"Critical condition?! Eight hours? YOU? Oh. My. God." SQUISH! "You're okay now? You better be okay now!"
