Children have the power to change a lot of things. Have you ever given any thought to having one?

Why bother distracting yourself from it? Why not embrace it?
Yes we live strange and dangerous lives but how many people can say they've been among the stars? Travelled to other worlds? Learned about alien cultures and seen creatures that man has thought to be mythical?

Briefly. Maybe in a dream. What about you?

I've always been a half empty kind of woman. Sometimes I try to embrace it the best I can, but I could certainly be better at it. Probably not as good as all that, even if it is a lovely way to look at it all.

I had a daughter.

Not all aspects of our lives are lovely so I find holding onto the points that are can help.

Had. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how difficult that would be.

It's even more impressive you can have that outlook.

It's made all the more difficult in that I didn't get to watch her grow up at all, I had to leave her when she was a baby.

Must be the poet in me.

If you'd rather not talk about it, feel free to tell me to shut up. Heaven knows I do it enough to Wade. But why did you have to leave her?

It's okay, it's actually nice to talk to someone about it.

There were people after me and it would have put her in danger.

You don't think you could have protected her from them? Or was it more not wanting her to be a part of a life of running from danger?

At the time that's what I thought I was doing. I also didn't want her to grow up on the run, I wanted her to have a stable happy life.

Best of intentions. Was it at least stable and happy for a time?

[After looking online to see what is playing Judd decides to take Tess to an evening showing of 'LadyHawke' at a smaller theatre that usually shows indie or old films, he texts her all the info and arrives a few minutes early in order top purchase them tickets and wait for her by the snack bar. He stands out from everyone around him, a man of about 4 feet 5 inches will do that in the normal world but he doesn't seem to mind and when he sees Tess he smiles and gives her a little nod.]

Evening.

[Tess might be a few minutes late, but not obnoxiously so. She also stands out, a woman over 6' in heels, red hair flowing. She also walks like she means business, even when it's a casual night out at the movies. She spots him and smiles in return.]

Hi. Have I kept you long?

Not at all, I was just considering what kind of snacks to purchase for the show. Tell me, are you a popcorn type or sweets lover?

((Continued from here))

Might I remind you of anything that Shatterstar has worn?

HA. I almost feel bad for how I laughed at that. What was with the bloody headpieces???

Never feel bad, some of those costumes were of his own design.
And headpieces certainly seemed to be all the rage at one point, weren't they? That and massive shoulder pads.

My costumes were never exactly creative but at least I didn't have to wear all those accessories.

Shouldn't we feel even worse in that case? He made them with his own creativity....

Just a giant 'P' right? I can't determine if that's better or worse than a certain costume with a maple leaf someone wore...

At that point he got what he wanted. ;D

The giant P was bad but at least my bits were all tucked in, and yes the maple leaf is pretty bad but you know how the government is about country pride. Didn't England do the same with your brother and make him wear the Union Jack repeatedly?

True enough...to all of that. The same can't be said for certain costumes and bits. Like Emma's. Hers aren't always securely in there.

Oh it's even worse than that actually. Despite being the 'champion of Great Britain' the Captain Britain Corps has very little to do with the goverment.

Merlyn chose the look.

I think that's kind of the point when it comes to her.

And yet they still want that flag on everything?

Ahhhh I see.

It is. She has no shame.

Proudly too! I wore the outfit a time or two.

Does it offend you?

And I'm sure you looked marvelous in it.

I thought you might be too busy. All right, what would you think I would look good in?

Quite a few things actually. First I have to know, do you want to keep it more conservative but stylish or do you want to go all out?

Why bother going conservative at pride? That almost seems like a waste.
Let's go all out.
