After all is said and done....(open to Outsiders)
Takes place before Calypso leaves.

Lian surveyed the damage done to the Outsiders' base. While the place wasn't exactly in ruins, it didn't look like her apartment after she'd torn it apart looking for something she'd misplaced, either. Shards of broken glass here, a burnt table there.

She sighed. It was all replaceable. She could make a couple of calls and get everything fixed.

But she couldn't stay. She'd made a huge mistake, in going off undercover in the League on her own, without telling anyone. Yes, the team knew that she had been undercover, her and Tim made pretty damn sure to fill them in on that little detail when they briefed them on the League, but they didn't know the whole story. About her and Damien.

It was her fault that this had happened. Her fault that the League attacked.

Her fault that her best friend was dead.

She couldn't allow herself to put her teammates at risk like that again. She'd gather her things, make sure that arrangements for repairs were made, and then she'd leave, and they'd never have to see her again.

Lian waited until everyone had assembled in the lounge, which hadn't been hit that hard by the recent attack.

There was a giant knot in her stomach. She didn't know quite how to tell them, but it was something she had to do.

Things like this were definitely not Lian's strong suit.

"I really don't know where to start," she said, pushing a strand of hair behind her ears.

"I want to apologize for taking off the way I did, and not telling everyone personally. It was stupid, rash, and very irresponsible of me. My mom has always been something that sets me on edge and makes me do things I shouldn't, and I shouldn't have not told people what I was doing. That's not how a team works, and out of all the people in this room, I should know that.

I understand if no one in this room trusts me right now. I don't blame you in the least. I'd like to earn it back, and I know that it'll take work, and that it won't be easy. I'm willing to do what it takes.

When I was undercover in the League, it quickly became less about finding my mother and putting her away, and finding out what Damien Wilson was up to. I was able to gather that he was onto something big, and I decided that the only way to find out what he was doing was try and get close to him."

Lian exhaled.

"I'm not going to beat around the bush here. You all deserve upfront honesty, and I'm going to give it you.

I'm pregnant."

	Well, color him surprised. "You do know goin' undercover doesn't require goin' under the covers, right, boss?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're pregnant?" Calypso was even less happy about the new information she got. But she decided to get straight to the point. "Are you keeping it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	J'anna still was without words. She instead silently started to cry and left the room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim says nothing, as he already knew. However, he does volunteer to check on J'anna as she leaves. "I'll bring her back." he says, going to follow her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Max had suspected as much it had never gotten more than being a suspicion but this definitely confirmed it. Though he had thought Lian from what little he knew of her from personal experience would be smart enough to how to and to use a condom. Max simply nods and does not do anything more than that.

	"I am," she said, "Keeping the baby, that is. But I'm not asking for anything from anyone. I'm not asking for babysitters, or anyone to go on diaper duty. That's not fair to any of you. My slip-up, my responsibility." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, that was a relief. "So..." Joey ventured. "I'm guessing you're gonna be out of the field for a while now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Obviously I won't be exactly going on patrols or anything,"Lian said. "But I'll still be around. Just strictly on a only monitor duty sort of basis." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim returns silently to the conversation, listening to everyone speak silently. J'anna needed a few minutes to compose herself and he couldn't do more for her than he'd already tried to do. He'd done enough already, really. "Yeah, Lian understands that she's got to take care of herself even more now. We hope." Tim says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well... good," Joey said, not having much else to add. (Reply to this)(Parent)
