You don't always have to be strong (Rex)
Hope rolled over in bed when she woke up that morning, not surprised to find that Rex was already up and out of bed. She knew that he was trying his best not to worry her, but she was perfectly aware of the fact that he hadn't been eating or sleeping very well over the weeks since Nic had died and they found out that her body had been stolen by Vandal Savage. She'd moved in like he had asked her to, mostly because she didn't want him to be alone...and risk doing something really stupid, and because she wanted to be there for him. They were supposed to be looking for a house, but those plans had gotten shoved aside, and Hope didn't press the issue.

She got out of bed, walking into the kitchen where he was. She walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Good morning," she said. "Want me to make coffee and breakfast?"

And by make breakfast she meant put poptarts in the toaster.

"Oh, yeah. Coffee would probably be good." Rex says, coming out of his haze. He probably could have made the coffee, but his mind was elsewhere, and had been for days.

They still hadn't found Nic's body.

He'd been avoiding his mother's and Carter's phone calls.

He was probably worrying Hope.

"How did you sleep, Goddess?" Rex asks, trying to be conversational.

"How I slept is unimportant," Hope said as went over and turned on the cofee maker. "What is important is how you didn't sleep again last night. And you barely touched dinner. Again."

"I told you, Goddess, I had a hot dog before I got home." Rex says, a little too quickly. He thinks he told her it was a hot dog. Or was it cheeseburger?

Or was it chicken? Damn it. He couldn't even remember what excuse he'd made up for not being hungry last night. Or the night before. He was making up a lot of excuses not to eat or sleep these days, because he didn't feel like he could do either.

"You're barely eating Rex," Hope said. "Or sleeping. I know you're going through a lot right now, but you cannot run yourself into the ground like this."

"I'll be fine, Goddess. You shouldn't worry so much...are you wearing my shirt?" he asks. He grins, recognizing his AC/DC shirt on her frame.

This is also a shiny new change-of-topic!

"Because it is comfortable," Hope said. "Though don't think this changes the topic, Rex."

"Change what topic? You're wearing my shirt. Can I put this on my Facebook?" he grins.

"Let me get my camera." he says, starting to get up from his chair.

Hope scowled at him. "I don't understand why you need to have a Facebook."

"To keep in touch with people." Rex says.

"Doesn't your dad and your sister have one two?" he asks.

"They do. I think Dad has a Twitter, too.

I've been told I should get one. A Facebook, that is."

"You should. I'll help you with it and we'll fill it up with pictures of you. Like when you're about to punch someone out or when we go out drinking or--"

Rex stopped mid-sentence.

Hope made him forget, for just a minute, how terrible he felt.

"Thanks, Goddess. For a moment things felt like they'd be okay." he says.

Hope reached out to lightly squeeze his hand. "Someday, things will be okay, Rex." She said. "It might take awhile, but someday, they will."

"I can't think about someday right now, Goddess. I'm barely making it through right now as it stands." Rex says.

"Did you say something about breakfast?" he asks, leaning against her a little.

Hope craddled his head gently. "Yes, I did," she said, kissing his forehead. "I am going to take you out to breakfast at that diner you like so much. You are going to order that 'grand slam' that you always order, and you will eat all of it. Then we will do something. I don't know what yet."

"Yes, Goddess. I cannot refuse a command from on high." Rex grins. He swats her backside playfully.

"You could always get dressed up in your sparring outfit and we can spar." he says.
