Hanging Around
Wendi was hanging around the Brownstone today, not doing particularly much.  It had--bar what had gone on with Nic and the Thanagarian invasion--been a pretty good summer so far.   She wasn't eager for it to end, though.  Even with only one more year of high school left, she would need all of that time to work up the nerve to tell her parents that she had absolutely no interest in taking over or working in Quickstart or Tyler.    She had four other siblings.  They could pick up that slack.

She slipped a pad of paper and a pencil out of the bag she'd brought with her, and sat on one of the couches and began to sketch.

Having been preened and lured out of her room in previous days by Steven, Nic made a quiet appearance on the other end of the couch, tucking her feet up and pulling her wings a bit around her.

"Um. Hi. Whatcha doing?"

Wendi looked up, surprised to see Nic out and about. "Oh, hey, Nic," she said with a smallish smile. "Just sketching a little. Art school app's due at the end of this month and I want a few more things for my portfolio."

"Art school? I didn't know you were going to art school." Nic scooted so she could see a little better. "But then again I...don't know that much in general so hey! Looks good, though."

Wendi smiled. "It's okay. I don't always share that much."

"Thanks," she added. "Though... I haven't exactly told my parents yet."

"Think they'll be cool with it? Your parents are...well. I don't know your parents except to know that you've got yourself a ton of siblings."

"I don't know, really," Wendi replied. "I mean, I hope so, but... Running Quickstart was a big deal to Mom, showing she could do as good a job as Grandpa Johnny. I don't know what she'll think if I'm not gonna follow in her footsteps."

"Have you tried, y'know, talking to her?"

Though Nic thought about the last time she tried talking to her folks about anything. Yeeeeah. That went stellar.

Wendi smiled a little. "I could do that. I'm just worried she's going to be disappointed in me."

"Have you...actually met your own mother? I don't see her being disappointed in anything. She's too busy being goddamn Jesse Quick, wonder mother and badass superhero to be disappointed. You joined the JSA like her and your father, you've never been busted doing something inappropriate, and you've never macked on your bestfriend only to come to the horrible realization that she doesn't really dig you. You're pretty much perfect. AND you have a non-supe talent. I think she'll be PROUD of you, Wendi-pants."

Well. That was a lot of sharing.

"I'm... I'm really not perfect," Wendi replied. "But... thanks."

Sharing was caring, right? Nic had no filters. She wasnt' born with them and gods knew that Carter and Shayera never managed to raise her with any. John might have tried but, his absence was noted in all of the girl's lack of social graces.

"So suck it up and tell your mom. Do it. You know deep down you wanna."

Wendi nodded. "I should. I mean, I can fight super-villains, but I'm afraid to talk to my own mother? What sense does that make?" She laughed, though it was kind of a small, nervous one.

"Thanks, Nic," she said. "But seriously? Me? Perfect?"

"Yes. You. Perfect. I'm not kidding. I could go get a whiteboard or something and make a comparison between you and me if you'd like. We can map out ideal versus nightmare and I think you'll see it's a pretty straight line that points you the way to perfect. I don't think you've ever pissed off anyone."

"That's only because I'm too boring to make anybody mad," Wendi said. "I mean, seriously, I've spent just about all my life either drawing or watching my younger siblings, when I'm not heroing. I'm probably severely sexually repressed--I'm barely even kissed a guy, and I've never skipped curfew or anything. Dullsville, population: me."

"You're not boring. Quiet is not boring. But if you want to walk on the wild side I could kiss you. NOT SAYING that I'm trying to get in your pants, just offering a useful outlet. Seeing as how I'm good for being an outlet." She hrmphed. "There's nothing wrong with being 'dull'"

Nic even used air quotes.

"Some people aspire for dull and mangle it horribly only to end up kidnapped by hoodlums from other planets."

"You're more than just an outlet, Nic," she assured her. "I'll pass on the kiss, but thanks. But maybe... we could hang out more? Try and balance each other out?"

"You'll get a reputation. It's true. Stand too close and you'll get a rep. If you can handle that, then we can hang out."

Wendi smiled. "Hey, I'm JSA. We can handle anything. It's on our business cards."

"This is true! Okay, then we start with bacon. Lots of bacon. It's a requirement for hanging out with me that there be bacon. I even can make bacon cookies!"

"Bacon... cookies?" Wendi asked, puzzled. She shook her head and smiled. "I can do bacon. I love the Baconator sandwich."

"Yes. Bacon cookies. ANYTHING can be made to have bacon. Baconator you say." -her wings perk as she considers- "We should go get some of those right now I think. Oh yes. With extra bacon."

"Baconators it is," Wendi agreed with a smile. "Let's go."
