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.

"Thanks," she said.

"It's... going. Gonna take some time still. Still can't believe what happened."

"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."

"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."

"You are not a failure," Hope said, giving her sister a stern look. "You must never think that you are."

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."

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

"I guess," Avia said. "I spent so much time on my shows and all the causes and everything, I guess I'm just rusty."

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

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."
