[Private]

Another birthday, another Thanksgiving, another unexplained phenomenon, and another missed opportunity.

What's really changed? What have I changed? I told Clark that he wasted his gifts, that all he did was hide in a barn.

But look at me. I have no accomplishments. I have nothing of worth. I have nobody. I don't even have any good ideas.

I've become arguably the most powerful person here, and now these powers are all I have.

[Friends]

Anyone up for a late night ride?

While it's fresh, at least. [Maybe it's not so weird for her, since she knew there had to be a wife and family down the line for Ezio since Desmond exists.]

I think it's good to know. We don't often get the chance to see how things might turn out for people, so... knowing Ezio gets to have a family is a relief. But I think it can go on the back burner.

[ It's weird seeing someone you slept with and have feelings for suddenly be an old man with a family, okay? Also she knows jack about Desmond or...any of that. ]

He deserves to be able to have a family. I guess...that's why I feel so bad. Like I'm not as happy for him as I should be.

But, also, there's the very big chance that is was just a lie. One he doesn't even remember, so...why?

Why not? I don't mean to sound accusing, I'm curious. I know you--um. Care about him. I don't doubt that. [This is kinda awkward to talk about.]

Maybe. Maybe not. It's a possibility, though, and I think even that's worth being happy for.

Because it feels like it was something that was just used to be a weapon. His life was used, just likes it uses everyone else's. It makes no sense otherwise.

[Might not like the answer to this, but...]

Who did it hurt?

I don't know, yet.

[ A little huff, frustrated. Because she can't pin EXACTLY why she's frustrated. ]

It isn't just Ezio, honestly. I've been restless — divided — since I returned from Smallville. And... Clark left, then Oliver and Lois. All within a month. And all of them had been here as long as I have. Longer.

I've never been alone here before.

[She knows that feel. That last part actually sends a chill down her spine, because hadn't she said those same words to someone not too long ago? Ezio? Lucrezia?]

I know how that goes. When I got here, we had so many people from Gotham that I didn't even think about being the last Bat standing. When they all left, at least I had Uru, and there were still some semi-familiar people like Clark. And then they left, too. And now here I am, with an abandoned Batroom and keys to an apartment in the city that I'll never use, and a few goodbye letters because they had the forethought to write them.

I wish I knew what to say. I don't know if I'm over the alone! thing, feeling that way, but I know I'm not alone. You're not alone, either. It might not be people from home, but there are people. And the way Paradisa works, I'm sure we'll end up seeing familiar faces eventually. We've just got to wait it out, you know?

[ True, Steph can relate quite a bit on that front. Although for Lana a lot of it has to do with the fact that they all left so close to the same time...and right when Lana had gone home and come back.

Of course it's not her fault, but...timing. Ugh. Also she feels bad that she pretty much guilted Lois right before she left. ]

Well, it wouldn't be fair to say I'm the only one from home. I just haven't met Tess Mercer yet...there, so it's sometimes still difficult for me to associate her with Smallville.

[ And it's not like they're even kind of close. ]

And I'm not sure I want any of them here, anyway. There's enough going on with planet Earth.

[Stephanie's quiet for a few moments, debatinnnngggggggg. There's not really anything she can say to help with this. However...

Eh, screw it.]

You know, if you ever need or want someone to hang out with... I know a blonde vigilante that wouldn't mind. I hear she can be pretty fun.

[ A-awww. Steph's never actually made an offer like that before. Despite how long they've known each other, regularly chillin' like friends has not exactly been a thing.

She still feels like crap, but feels like she should make her half of the effort, which...is teasing. ]

Fun? What's that?

Edited 2012-12-09 00:16 (UTC)

Not a clue. Guess you'd have to hang out with her and find out yourself.

Do you happen to know her favorite watering holes?

Kitchens and towers, mostly. The occasional rooftop.

And are these at sane, Vitamin-D lover hours, or crazy, slowly fading tan vigilante hours?

The latter.

I'm not pasty or anything, by the way.

Well, thank goodness neither am I, so we can avoid looking too stereotypical when on rooftops in the dead of winter.

Um, by the way.

What did you mean when you said you know I care about him? [ I mean that on it's own isn't weird, but Stephanie kind of stuttered over it, which made it sound like more. ]

What do I mean? You tell me. He likes you.

I mean what has he said?

[ Because WHAT DID HE SAY. Does Stephanie know they slept together? No no no no. Okay, total mood swing. ]

Can't say! Nothing bad, of course. Only good.

How nice.

[ Great. Just when they were getting comfortable, something new to make Lana want to backpedal out of Awkwardville. Darn it, Ezio, you were supposed to be discreet. ]

You sound thrilled. Should I have not said anything?

No, it's fine.

I really need to get Evan saddled up, though. How about we do that hanging out thing real soon?

[Be more obvious, Lana. But she drops it.]

I'd like that a lot.

[ Lana's skill when it comes to jumping to conclusions does not bode well with her new(?) prima donna anger issues. She'll be certain to say hi on a random rooftop before you know it. ]
