Box Building
Avia was hard at work in the "lab" space in the Free house basement. While her father had offered to help, this was something she needed to do on her own.

Her Mother Box had sacrificed itself to save her life against the Black Lantern Lex Luthor. She'd felt the loss, painfully and completely. She had given her life freely to save Avia, but the pain was still there. It was the closest she had ever come to dying, to joining the big cosmic harmony of the Source.

It was one of the few times Avia had ever been afraid.

Now, she was hard at work building herself a new Mother Box. It would take time. But it was the least she could do.

	There was a knock on the door. "Avia? Are you hungry? I made you a sandwich." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Avia looked up from her work, putting her tools down. "Wha? It is lunch time already? Yeah. C'mon in, Sis." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hope made her way in, setting down the sandwich and a glass of milk. "I thought you might be hungry," she said. "How is everything going?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," she said. "It's... going. Gonna take some time still. Still can't believe what happened." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've seen them take a beating before...but I still can't believe that yours just /died/. But you are smart. You can do it. I know you can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Days like this, I feel pretty dumb, you dig?" Avia took a breath and let it out. "I know nobody did real well out there... but I'm just feelin' like a total failure as a hero." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You are not a failure," Hope said, giving her sister a stern look. "You must never think that you are." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's hard to hold up under her sister's stern look (and here she thought she'd long gotten past the point where she could be affected by that). "Yeah, well... maybe I ain't cut out for this hero thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not everyone always wins," Hope said. "The best thing we can do is learn to move forward and grow from it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I guess," Avia said. "I spent so much time on my shows and all the causes and everything, I guess I'm just rusty." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you want to get back in the swing of things, I'm sure you will," Hope said. "You adjust quickly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She managed a smile. "Yeah, I suppose I will." She gestured to the Mother Box in progress. "At least, as soon as I finish this. I'd never realize how much I relied on her before." (Reply to this)(Parent)
