Mother's Day
Mothers are the place that we call home.
On them we rest our heads and close our eyes.
There's no one else who grants the same soft peace,
Happiness, contentment, sweet release,
Erasing nighttime tears with lullabies,
Restoring the bright sun that makes us bloom. - Anonymous

With finals done Max was back in Hub City in time for mother’s day. For a pair of genius level intellects that were experts at solving problems Max and his dad were all but incapable a cooking a fancy meal but their simple eggs and bacon with a glass of orange juice and a big mug of coffee make to her liking. This was ready to be served in bed with a card from them and fresh flowers.

	The aroma of freshly brewed coffee woke Helena up in the morning. She smiled when she saw her husband and her son bringing in breakfast. "That's really nice, you two didn't have to do that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Well you put up with us all year long so it’s the less we could do,” Max said with a smile to his mom, “Also Dad said he was going to go out and get one of those five gallon tubs of your favorite ice cream too.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Happy mother’s day mom,” he as he leaned down for the kiss and then gave her a big hug. They had set up quite the nice day for her, a romantic comedy that she said she hated but secretly loved, going doing to the practice range for some crossbow shooting, then diner at her favorite restaurant. Plus he and dad had promise to tone done the crazy for the day. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Josh really isn't sure what to do this year. He ends up spending a good portion of the morning just up in his room, trying to sort his thoughts out. For as long as he can remember, he's always just gone to visit his mother in jail when this day rolled around and the meetings were never happy ones. The healer never knew what it was like to have a mother and with the routine broken, he's at a loss...

Josh was not the only one in the house without his mother this day. Avalon had never celebrated Mother's day - it wasn't a tradition on Naltor - but he did understand the feelings of sorrow that he attributed to Josh.

Following the emotions up to their shared room, the alien slips into the room and wanders over to where Josh is and flops down next to him. "Hey." he says simply, and then leans in to give Josh a warm hug.

	Josh glances over as Avalon walks in but doesn't say anything. He leans into the hug. "Hey," the healer replies softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluelantern 2010-05-09 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	There really isn't anything that Avalon feels that he can say to Josh that will erase the sorrow that the other boy feels. This isn't the sort of pain one gets over easily, and it's certainly best not experienced alone. Wordlessly, Avalon enfolds himself around Josh and then just climbs up into his lap and proceeds to give Josh snuggles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh doesn't have any words either. He just slips his arms around Avalon and holds on tight. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Jerry and his dad had been busy getting the best ingredients from all over the world to make an incredible breakfast for mom. Fresh French beard from Paris, fresh fruit from all over, Kona coffee from Hawaii and dad made pancakes. But most importantly Jerry had gotten Riker’s cheesecake too. (Reply to this)

	Back in Keystone, there was a hearty Team Morgenstern effort to clean the house to white-glove standards and fix the meals in addition to their usual chores, and then they all watched Mrs. Morgenstern's favorite movies together. Ruth also had made sure to remind Jay for three days in advance so he wouldn't forget. (Reply to this)

Despite the fact that his mother would not acknowledge his existence anymore after he had gotten disowned from his family Kieran still sent his mother flowers with a card just says happy mother’s day. He wasn’t sure if she ever gotten and kept them or even read the card but for all that his family had done to him he still loved them and did this type of thing anyways. He would have called them but he knew they could even take his call like they hadn’t when he called to tell them he was alright after his accident with Lynn.

Tim just sits on a rooftop in Metropolis in his new costume. Legs hanging over the edge of the building, the displaced young man stares at the flowers he's got in hand. One blue, one purple, one red. He bought them for his mother before he remembered that in this dimension, his mother wasn't his mother. The apartment he'd been going to fly to wasn't his family's apartment. He's stuck in a dimension away from his family and friends. And it really hurts.

"Sorry Mom..." he whispers, regretting that he couldn't be home with his family right now. He's just alone...

Scott looks at the green and silver jumpsuit, the big green lightning bolt. How many times he had seen that green and silver blur on the telecomm, seen those giant green streaks of lightning or those sparking green constructs and Scott knew he was safe.

He missed his mom. And if and when he gets that Chronoporter fixed, he's making sure, before even picking up his gadgets, he's giving Green Lightning the biggest hug any of her kids had ever given her.

	Mother's Day this year was not a good one for Cait. She missed her mother and she wanted to see her, but doing so would not be good. There was the slim possibility of Mera visiting, but Cait doubted she would. She spent the morning with Hope and the pod and then went to work. (Reply to this)

	Jai makes breakfast while Mom sleeps. He's already gotten a stern lecture about running out on Mom, and Dad has made him promise not to fight with her today. Jai doesn't want to fight, either, so he figures it's best to just do this and get it over with. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Hope spent the whole day with her mother, cooking for her, cleaning the house, watching movies. And like always, they had a sparring session. It may have seemed weird to those that didn't know her family, but it was something that Hope and Barda always did. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Damien Wilson sends his mother a yearly progress report of the League's business assets and projections, as well as an update on his latest project. She approves, and tells him that she enjoyed the video footage he sent of the death of the Braslavian President. Damien did not often take contracts, but he wanted his mother to see that he was capable of doing those things that he commanded others, like his sister, to do.

He also tells Talia that Morgaine is as well as Morgaine ever is, and swears again that he will watch out for her.

	Robert Queen cannot find his mother, and has not seen her in almost two years. Rather than dwell on this, Robert honors his mother in the only way he knows how on this day: He looses an arrow on a mugger, and kill him in one movement. His mother taught him to use a bow and arrow, as well as how to kill, so Robert honors her by using his talents as often as he can. (Reply to this)

	Alerron Yat thinks that a mother should be honored each day, and not just a specific one, but he likes the idea of Mother's Day. He's found several small gifts and things he wants to tell her about as soon as he sees her again. He will see her again, and he will save her from Blackfire, even if he has to rob his cousin of his own mother to do it. (Reply to this)

Rex makes breakfast for his sister, then makes certain that Pnnt is ready before they call Shayera in Egypt. She and Carter are in a different timezone, but they know better than to miss Mother's Day.

Dad used to make a huge production out of it when he was little, and he's got to at least remind Mom of that, if only for a moment.

He's going to suggest they spar when she comes home, just for old time's sake.

	Pnnt is armed and ready with her typical, pretty off-key rendition of a traditional Thangarian song of appreciation. Every year it seems to get worse but it wouldn't be Mom's Day without it. "Ready! I still say we should have air-mailed waffles." Because Mom loves waffles. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Will busies himself to help out the Freeman matron. He knew that his mother and father had him rather young and struggled to keep food on the table in his early years.

Many kids his age would have been unhappy at the lack of toys he got as a child, but Will didn't care. he made it his mission to help his family out, and that hadn't changed even after his father managed to get his family in a comfortable place.

So, today, Will made his way to and fro, doing the chores his mother normally does (except cooking, because Will could burn water).
