found her, she's fine, teenage boys are the stupidest fucking creatures on earth.

What happened?

[Wait okay she has to switch to voice because trying to type it all out just ended up with a lot of angry keysmashes.]

Some dumbass fucking kid found her passed out and decided that instead of taking her to the doctor like a normal person would, he just took her home and thought he'd let her sleep it off in his room. Apparently it didn't occur to the piece of shit that maybe people were worried about her and he should try to figure out who she is and how to contact her friends!

[She kept her anger mostly under wraps around Stanley, to save hitting him, and she kept it to herself around Caesar too, because he didn't need it.

But now she's willing to vent.]

He was a fucking stoner, too, I swear to god. [Because don't think she didn't realize.] I was so close to beating the shit out of him.

[He listens carefully, dread growing as she speaks. The more she says, the more he wants to head right over to 409 and smack Stanley in his stupid head — there's no doubt in Saul's mind that that kid is the fucking stoner in question.]

I'm glad you didn't. You probably would've broken him in half. Or more.

[There's another few moments of quiet grumbling before she can manage coherent sentences again.]

Kind of what I figured. [She still kind of wishes she'd decked him, though.] God, how is anyone that stupid and not dead? I don't get it.

[There's no way he would've made it to sixteen in Gotham.]

[In what may be the world's most comforting tone:]

Give it time.

[sorry stan]

[ugh, why doesn't that make her feel any better?

there's a sigh, and then silence for a moment as she runs her hands through her hair.]

I'm gonna need you to talk to the Initiative, too. There's no way they should've sent Collette on a mission in the state she was in.

[And with that same tone, but now much more serious:]

Sure. Can you give me the details?

[ty saul]

I'm not sure on the details of the mission, I'll get them from Gamora later and talk to Caesar about Collette's health pre-mission. I can have a report for you by the end of the day?

[Bat-mode: initiate.]

[oh no, competence and professionalism

that's so hot]

Sounds good.

Thanks.

[That's something to focus on as opposed to feeling impossibly angry.]

If you get a bunch of angry letters from Caesar, I swear I told him not to.

Whatever. Pretty sure I've pissed that kid off before, so...

[Like Saul even cares.]

...Gamora, though? The green woman with anger issues?

That's her. She and Collette were together on the mission, it's why I wasn't too worried at first.

[because Gamora may be hella scary, but she's competent, and Ellie trusts her]

Now there's a weird mental image.

What?

[Just sort of - tired, she hasn't really slept recently and can't be bothered to figure out exactly what Saul means by that. Collette and Gamora? Just Gamora in general? Something to do with Steph not being worried?

Life is hard.]

Collette and Gamora. Fighting together, presumably. I just —

[He chuckles, the sound a little quiet. Steph's tripping balls if she thinks he's not picking up on how she sounds.]

What a team.

[She rubs at her brow, but there's a huff of a laugh, too.]

It's better if you assume Coll was in her crocodile morph.

[See, all Saul knew about was the dog and fire-cat-demon-whatever, so now he's really laughing.]

Jesus.

Didn't know about the croc? I think she picked up one of the giant spiders when we were over on the continent, too.

That's horrifying.

[But also hilarious, apparently.]

Did you know the first time I met her, she was a bat?

[oh no she's giggling]

[NOOOO ~~what a nice sound~~.]

That's — that's so perfect it's almost poetic.

I know, right? I was minding my own business on a rooftop and this bat started talking in my head.

I kinda wish I'd gotten a picture of her hanging from my arm.

I'm sure you can always ask her for one later.

She might laugh.

[as if that is a grave concern]

I wish we had display pictures for these tablets, I'd totally have used it for that.
