New Year's
The beginning of a New Year, a time for new hopes, new experiences to come. A time to reflect on times past, remembering fond memories happily and trying to put less pleasant thoughts and experiences in the past.

It is a time of renewal, a time of rebirth. And for much of the world, it is a time of celebration. This is no less true for the super hero set as anyone else. If anything, they just have that much bigger of things to look forward to.

	Hope arrived at Rex's with pizza, chocolate cake, and beer. Nic was out for the night, and they decided to stay in for New Year's Eve. Not that Hope minded at all, spending the night curled up on the couch with her boyfriend. The portal from the Boom Tube opened, and Hope stepped out, a smile on her face. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Rex forces a smile for Hope, as he was just thinking about Mickey before she arrived. That kid loved holidays more than just about anyone he knew. Her parents had to start the new year knowing that their daughter had been murdered. "Hey, Goddess." Rex says, looking at her. "You brought pizza and beer. Do you know how great you are?" he asks.

"No, I'm not, Hope. You remember Mickey Rayner, right? She was at Thanksgiving.

Someone killed her last week. We got there too late to save her. I haven't called in a couple of days because I had to fly out and talk to her parents in person." Rex says sadly.

"Hope, she was just a /kid/. Seventeen years old, same age as Nic. I just keep thinking about what I'd do if I got that call saying that Nic was gone...and I can't imagine what her parents must be going through right now." Rex says, looking down at the floor.

"I couldn't go out tonight and act happy after that. I'd wanna break something." he says.

	This year Jane was drinking a bit more than she should. She was drinking to Mia and angry that she hadn't been fast enough. She hated feeling like this but loosing her best friend to a serial killer had pretty much destroyed her right now. There was going to be a lot of heavy drinking before the night was through.

Robert was on the first plane to Gotham when Jane called him about Mia. He couldn't believe it. Mia was his sister and he'd never gotten to know her at all. He'd never told her his real name.

Now, she was dead and Robert, despite not knowing his sister, felt the loss keenly. Mia was a good person...which meant that Robert had to own that Oliver was a decent judge of character.

Worse yet, Jane was suffering and he couldn't help her. Sure, he could hover over her until Jane got upset and did something crazy, like go down the station...

and then Robert Queen knew what he had to do to honor Mia and help his girlfriend.

"Honey? Hey...I need to go out for a little bit. Will you be all right here? If you're not, just say so and I won't." Robert says.

Jane was close to slipping and running into her room to change into the same dark clothes she had worn. She had a rifle and knew exactly where she could squat down to get the shot.

No one would be heart broken over this. No one would blame the rage that had festered in her gut like cold ice. She stopped right away and looked up.

"I... I'll be okay for a while." She should order a pizza. Food might calm her down.

	Lian was on the couch in her apartment, eating Chinese. She wasn't in the mood to celebrate this year. She had her phone and her comm on her in case she was needed for some reason. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Lian got off the couch, looking through the peephole. When she saw who it was, she grabbed a kitchen knife, and James would find it pressed against his throat when she opened the door. "What the hell do you want?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mark didn't want to deal with the holiday. Not when he was in such a dark mood so he was in the Tower after months of avoiding it. He would not be available for contact until the next day. (Reply to this)

	Christmas and New Years were just more reminders that she was probably never going to see her husband and children again. She had missed them coming down the stairs, opening their presents... Lindsey couldn't drink, couldn't cry. But she could sure go through the motions of crying. (Reply to this)

	Music played, loud enough but not loud, and food and non-alcoholic drink were in generous supply. Petra was playing hostess to the crowd of like-minded teens and semi-adults she'd invited, dressed as Lady Blackhawk. (Reply to this)(Thread)
