When there's nothing left to burn.... (Tim)
She scared a fire investigator.  The man was sifting through the remains of what had been Tim's building when J'anna all of a sudden rose out of the ashes all green and Martian with her bright red eyes and wisps of flames dancing up from her body.  She was as confused as he was scared and it took her a moment before she managed to go invisible and slip out of the decimated structure without delay or questions from the investigator.  J'anna had questions of her own, though, what the hell happened being chief among them.  Several blocks from what had once been her home J'anna slipped into her visible human form as she tried to sort things out.  She remembered date night with Tim, all curled up on the couch.  She remembered the sudden appearance of Giselle.  She remembered...her heart being torn out.  Being dead.  She remembered that feeling, that moment where the color disappeared from before her eyes and J'anna remembered her vision being replaced and everything going colder.  It was then her memories began to change, almost like she was outside herself and inside her mind all at the same time.  Tim had destroyed the building to save himself and she?  She'd burned int he flames only to leave things behind and go straight for her father and Jenn.

As she walked along J'anna was acutely aware of everything she'd said to her father and her friend and with each step she was more and more horrified.  How could she have said those things?  Those weren't things one spewed at their father, but she'd said them.  And, worse, had meant them.  Tim thought she was dead.  She'd said horrible things to her father and friend.  She again had no home and no place to belong.  Well, that wasn't exactly true.  There was one place she knew she could go.  Tim had shown her the place once, his backup base in the Triangle.  it was a safe place that she could go so that is exactly where she went.  When she arrived she realized that she wasn't the only person hiding out there.  There were a couple of barely-eaten bowls of ramen on the work table and the small bed in the corner looked like it had barely been slept in.

Tim.

J'anna couldn't help herself.  She went directly to the bed and curled up on it, holding the pillow to her chest hoping it might smell like Tim.  She was so bewildered, embarrassed and scared,.  She was desperate for comfort wherever she could find it.

"I'm afraid, Tim." J'anna curled herself until she was practically in his lap. "I'm scared and I don't want to go alone. I hate that I was mean but I hate that I'm glad I got things off my chest more."

"You're not going alone. I'll go with you. Or, better yet...why don't we take your dad out to dinner? You two could talk and I'll do the whole moral support thing." Tim suggests.

"I don't suppose you'd let me get away with not revealing my Lazarus act for awhile longer, would you?"

"Sadly, no. It's not fair to everyone else to let them think you're gone a moment longer than they need to. I was a mess when I got here, J'anna. I didn't think I would ever see you again." Tim says.

"I wouldn't put anyone else through that." he says.

"But you love me. And I didn't come after you like I did him."

J'anna sighs.

"Fine. We can call him. You should call him. I wouldn't know what to say just yet."

"I'll call him and you'll get some sleep. Oh, I have Ramen and Hot Pockets if you're hungry." Tim smiles.

She's going to kill him.

J'anna pulled back from him and looked at his face, a horrified look on hers.

"Were you suicidal when you bought those things? Timothy! Those things are nothing but chemicals! They'll kill you! Oh no. Oh hell no. Tomorrow morning first thing as the store is open, we're shopping."

Getting up, she made gagging faces at the thought of ramen before going over to the bed and pulling down the blankets. At least those were decent, unlike Tim's food choices.

"Will you come lie down with me once you've called him?"

"How about I call him when we wake up? We can say we were just too exhausted from all the excitement to call sooner." Tim suggests.

"You are totally getting the hang of Earth lingo, Martian Girl. I find that very sexy." Tim says.

"You do recall that I grew up in the United States, right? Specifically between Star City and St. Roch. I'm an earthling. Sort of." J'anna pulls him close to her and undoes his cape. "You want me to be green tonight? I can be the alien and you can take me to your leader..."

"Ah, yes. The leader is very interested to meet you, J'anna J'onnz. He told me to let you know that.

In fact, I have a message from him to you." Tim says.

And then he kisses her.

J'anna kisses Tim back passionately, pressing herself to him as though she's afraid to let him go. And she is, a little.

"Oh yes. To your leader. Now."

She'll pull him to the bed, fully expecting not to sleep.
