It was Zandor's birthday, and Mickey wasn't going to let the birthday of a friend go uncelebrated. She got him a fifty dollar gift card to whatever he wanted with it, and made sure that the cake was chocolate.

Michael was glad that the crap that had been happening was now all but over, but now he finds himself rather...well, depressed isn't the right word. That has waaaaay too many connotations for him than he's comfortable with. Melancholy? Meh. He really doesn't know the right word for it, but its obviously negative but its not as crushing.

Not like the whole situation with Briana.

So, after going through his phone, he settles on a single number. This person has been a friend of his since he began his side project (hobby? whatever), and she did have an interest in what was happening, albeit indirect.

So Michael makes a call to one Miss Lord.

Max had briefly swung by to check up on Lian when Roy wasn’t around in costume of course. Alex was a rather adorable baby. He really hoped there was something he could find out that could help them figure out where they had taken little Donna.

He had gotten the scoop about exactly what had happened from people and some hacked security tapes and had spent a couple hours thinking through all of it in meditation. He hadn’t gotten any farther doing that than anyone else had. He had talked to some of his own contacts to see if they had heard about anything going on in the city that could be remotely related to this and made sure his dad knew about this to see if his dad that could find anything.

He had heard from one of his contacts about something was going on in Star City that might be worth looking into. It was a very vague tip about something big that might be starting up in Star City.

When he found the place of the meeting for whatever it was Max made his way inside through the upper windows and what he heard surprised when him. Chanting and a lot of it over a rather grisly scene.

That looks like more blood than could come from a single person, Max thought to himself.

He briefly debated breaking up this little gathering but there was definitely more people than he could possibly deal with himself. Something that they were talking about sounded really familiar to him for some reason. This would definitely mean research. But he wasn’t going to drag anyone else into this until he knew what this was.

Sally hadn't been looking forward to the trip to Ivy Town. Jude Roth was giving a guest lecture at that architectural school, and the whole family was going to stay for Sally to check out the University.

With how much she and Dad had been Not Talking lately, she wasn't looking forward to time in the car with Daddy trying to make peace. But somehow... it had worked. Dad had admitted he was wrong as they were driving up. He'd apologized to Sally and Daddy for the way he'd been behaving. It was really a relief. Sally was so happy that when they were there, she wasn't slouching and focusing constantly on keeping away the stares, feeling even more vulnerable and miserable because it was too hot to wear her overcoat. She just felt happy and didn't worry about things.
