The zombies started coming back to life. Intact. Wow. That was.... way more awesome than anything he was hopingfor here. He vaguely remembered something like that from the papers, but he'd thought Uncle Jed was just going with a forcibly Happy Ever After as he read.

He went looking for Zoe in the mess and chaos, blood still running down his cheek.

Rose woke up in a strange place with a throbbing headache. The last thing she had remembered was getting knocked out of the sky by the Black Lantern Hal Jordon, and falling to the ground in the wreckage on Oa.

She was sure that she was dead.

But no, she wasn't. She had woken up hours later in the medical ward on Oa, having sustained a couple of broken bones and a mild concussion. The doctor told her that her being alive was a miracle.

As much as Rose was happy to be alive, she just wanted to leave this place. Wanted to leave and find Dex, her grandmother, and her brother. She had to know if they were still safe. She had to know what happened.

She lied in her bed, staring at the ceiling impatiently, fiddling with her ring.

Lian had been given the okay by Tim to return to Star City. Rather than going to the remains of Outsiders Headquarters, Lian went back to her apartment building, surprised to find the damage done to it repaired.

"I guess I really am getting my money's worth on this lease," she said to herself as she entered the building. She threw down her phone and keys, making her way straight to her bedroom, collapsing on her bed. She shut her eyes, trying to get some sleep.

She maybe only started to drift off when she heard a knock on the door. Grumbling a little, Lian rose from the bed, making her way to the door.

She opened the peephole, checking to see who was on the other side.

She couldn't believe her eyes.

Lian threw open the door, throwing her arms around the person on the other side.

"Daddy!"

Jane was just going to put up her guns. She went so much as to lock the ones she normally kept on her up. She didn't trust herself right now. Not with the amount of booze she had right after she had 'come back'. She had enough beer to sink a ship.

She hadn't covered her tracks at all when she used her cards to come back from Star City either. She had left messages with Mia and her boyfriend to let them know she was alive again. But after she had gotten back to Gotham she had gone on autopilot. Her brain just felt pretty numb after everything.

Especially all that beer. She wondered if it counted as borderline alcoholism if one drank to get over coming back from the dead and trying to cope with what she said while she was dead. She didn't quite believe that it wasn't her on some level that said those things. Of course it wasn't as if she could just go contact a shrink.

She was fairly certain that nothing could just 'fix' what went wrong with what had happened. Which was why she was going to go over messages while still hung over; the best cure for whatever this feeling was had to be violence or something that involved tracking someone or something down. Anything to keep her mind occupied.

Sadly though her answering service hadn't picked up anything new. And her usual work e-mail was somewhat clogged with the usual spam e-mails. Her mouth did twitch in amusement though. Seriously, she was a woman why would she need male enhancement hormones? Ah internet never stop making Jane smile when she is hung over.

She logged off and rubbed her forehead. Yeah she was going to be no good for pretty much anything. Time to go back to bed and then come up with a plan of action latter.

Kyle woke up with a massive headache and found when he opened his eyes that he couldn’t see. Feeling with his hands toward his eyes he could tell that they were covered with bandages. It took a little bit for him to put together that he was in a hospital bed at his hospital.

He blindly fumbled around for the button to call a nurse to him. Last thing he remembered was those things attacking him and that explosion of white light. He wanted to know what was going on and what had happened.
Nurse that he was familiar with quickly answered the call when he pressed the button.

After much making out in the middle of the battlefield, followed by a night of intense passion back at their apartment (God, she'd missed being alive, not to mention Zach), Mia woke up early the following moment after her return from the grave and made her way to Star City General Hospital. Alive again or not, she was probably still HIV positive and would need to get back on her strict regimen of medication.

There was a lot of explaining to the doctors why someone who had been legally dead for the past few months was suddenly alive and kicking like nothing had happened. Mia filed out some forms for insurance, and then went through a series of various tests to see if everything was in order.

A couple of hours after her tests, the doctor came back into the room, a truly astounded look on his face as he stared at Mia's charts.

"Ms. Dearden, there were some...unusual results in your tests. We'd like to keep you under observation for a few days."

Mia nodded, wondering what could have possibly happened. Had something happened when she came back to trigger her HIV into full-blown AIDS? She didn't want to think about it.
( A few days later )

Mickey stood in the Brownstone, just staring into the living room.

The last time she was here, she had attacked her friends and tried to rip out her boyfriend's heart. She actually did succeed in ripping out her boyfriend's heart.

Her memory of what she had done was fuzzy at best, but none of it from what she could remember, was good.

She hoped that they would take her back. The JSA was like family to her, and it broke her heart that she tried to do those terrible things to her. But after all she had done, she wouldn't blame them if they never wanted to see her again.

Mickey just hoped that they could patch things up and move forward. And so she didn't go anywhere, choosing to just stand and wait for the first person that walked into the room.

burningmartian:

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.

When Joey had called his mom, first assuring her that he was okay, he'd also had to break the news that his father was alive again.  She'd insisted on flying out right away, bringing Emerald with her to boot.  With her own news that Grandpa Simon was alive again too.  Crazy.  Just plain crazy.

There'd been lots of hugs and all that kind of thing, and even more talking.  He figured his parents would do a little "talking" of their own sometime later.  He planned to be very drunk by then so that the possibility of thinking about it was non-existent.

But then he'd asked to be able to talk to his dad.  Alone.   Mom and Em had made a hasty exit to let them.

"You've been in your room since we got home," Iris said, knocking on her brother's door.

"I know you're upset...but that wasn't you, Jai. Please, let me. I just want to talk. We don't even have to stay here. We could go to China. For real Chinese food."

Another pause.

"Jai, please. Talk to me."
