Well, this is new.
Heather absently flipped through the channels, and every time it hit on the news, it was about them. Footage of them in action at the fire and after, her--what had she been thinking--sudden naming of them, after Cindy had supplied their group name...

Heather had never really been used to people paying attention to her, especially not like this.

Somehow, fan sites had already gone up on the internet. Most of it was clean, fortunately, but some of it... well, she was going to need brain bleach to unsee some of that.

"So..." she said, mostly to herself, but anyone within earshot would hear. "Now what?"

	Lenny just kind of slinks in his chair, looking somewhat depressed. He dd NOT want to be a superhero, but fate seemed to have other plans. He had not answers. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Harry is looking about as depressed as Lenny. Superheroing was not what he planned. That was for brave people, not him. "I'm not going to look at the stuff online that's for sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How'd we end up superheroes?" He sinks deeper into his spot on the couch looking awfully lost. "...oh no. They'll make us wear ridiculous looking costumes too won't they?" From the look on his face it's a genuine worry he has. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nobody has to wear anything more ridiculous than they want to," Cindy assures as she steps through the door. "I honestly didn't mean to force you all into the biz like this. You can still take it as slow as you like." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Biz?" Lenny looks up, over at Cindy. "There's nothing business-like about this. It's risking are lives over and over again. We're not Superman or Batman, we're a bunch of random people who didn't choose this nor are we in anyway prepared for it. And not to mention there are psychotic godlike beings like the Cyborg who know we exist!" Lenny was in a really bad mood.

Not fighting. Anything but that. He sinks deeper into the couch, almost trying to blend in with it and wishing everyone would get along. He gets Lenny's anger, he really does, but whatever's happened has been out of their control and Harry can't get mad at anyone for it.

He does decide he'll try and step in to stop it if this keeps going, but really hopes he doesn't need to.

	Back in the other room, Heather held up her hands. "Okay, bottom line: we saved lives today. That's what's important, right?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Andy may seem a little distracted. As if paying attention to something else. But Andy does hear what Heather says. "Yes. Helped people. Is good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jess is just going to sink into a chair. She is still angry and doesn't feel like talking right now. She really doesn't want to say things that she will regret. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Heather looked around, wondering just what she should be doing. "I... should really call my parents," she said quietly. "Maybe go back to Opal and see them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Am not needing anything. Am charged and stable." Andy shifts a bit, unsure as what to do. "Am unsure of what next." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Me too Andy," he agrees sullenly, still sunken into his spot on the couch. He stays quiet about the parent issue for now, he's really not the one to say anything about it considering he had no intention of ever having his mother know. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greenwillpower 2012-03-22 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	".....Am I the only one that's fully disclosed things to their folks? I mean besides Cindy." She isn't really moving. She's still trying to not be so mad right now. She feels like she shouldn't be mad. She just feels tired right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This only happened to me on the same day the robots and Lanterns tried to kidnap us," Heather said. "I... haven't exactly been comfortable enough in my own 'skin' to talk to them about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy shifts, uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation. Andy had no one to call family. The closest thing Andy had to a father was...long gone by now. "Have no one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2012-03-24 12:32 am UTC (link)
	Harry avoids looking at anyone else in case they ask about him. He didn't talk to his mother much at all, they don't exactly get along, and she was really the only family he had too. No, he'd like to avoid this subject if possible. "I hope Lenny's okay," he muses quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
