“You are not alone. You’re my avatar! Full of turmoil. I am the life in your soul. The bloodlust in your veins! Stop holding back! Drink deep! Unleash it!”
“I…hold on.”

she pulled out her phone

“ARROZ TAPADO!”

she paused for a moment and sighed

“You know if my parents weren’t dead they’d probably be really upset with my poor Spanish skills.”

“It’s pretty basic. You got your rice, ground beef, onion, garlic, egg, peas, carrots…and topped with a fried banana”

she shrugged

“It’s not the most exciting dish, but it’s pretty good.”

“Of course I can cook! I make a mean…uh…it’s a Spanish word…um…

A rose top ado….no. No that’s not right…”

she mumbles to herself as she steps into the kitchen
December 6, 2025 at 2:58 AM
“You know, one of these days I got to cook for you. I’ve been learning some fun dishes…and I usually make too much anyways…

…need a hand?”

she stood up and stumbled slightly

“Woah. Okay maybe…not.”

“Uh…I had some toast for breakfast. But I was in a bit of a rush. Overslept a little.”

she chuckles

“I’m fine. I am eating. It’s not like last time…”

-c- heart.

…we could both trust ourselves more. And…I dunno. We both lost a lot, but we gained a lot too…”

she moves her hand forward to touch his shoulder, missing the first time. She quickly tries again, this time reaching it

“…friendship. A really good one. I can trust you & you can trust me”

she nods

“Same for you too. I know…it’s a massive legacy. I mean, it’s the Superman family but…despite you…being different from what folks think of when they think of their legacy…I’ve seen the man you are. A kind man. One who is willing to stand up for what he believes in. A man with a huge -c-

-c- bring the team back together once but…didn’t work out for long…

…and I haven’t really done the team thing for a while. Been mostly a solo act. With an occasional team up…

…guess the point is legacy is…complicated.”
December 5, 2025 at 9:22 AM
-c- because we weren’t ready. But we all tried to live to…the original Crusasers. It felt personal for the others because they were related by family to the originals. I…wasn’t. So I felt like an outsider, even then…we stuck together for a while, but eventually we just…split. We tried to -c-

“…My whole first team was a legacy team. We were…young. We didn’t know what we were doing. We got ahead of ourselves and…people died.

Alex. Johnny. Joe broke his leg and it never healed properly. And hell. We all got pretty traumatized. But especially Kelly

“Well, my claws are mystical. Even if I didn’t scratch you that hard, they’d probably stick around.”

she looks at her hands

“But…the anger can be hard to control. And that’s what I fear sometimes. Losing myself. Ai Apeac and I are a team, but…we aren’t in sync. At all. It leads to issues.”
December 5, 2025 at 7:20 AM
-c- …you know, restraint. And then there’s the big godly aura thing I can do. Which…I can’t do on command.”
December 5, 2025 at 6:53 AM
“Well, I was taught in sparring, we never go all out. Especially if you’re a little…deadly.”

she mumbled slightly

“You know jaguars are stealthy? And they tend to go for the throat or their head? And that bite? Goes right through the skull. Or the spinal cord…not that I’d do that to you. But…-c-

fuck up. We’re both fuck ups. And I guess there is comfort in that…

…And that version of me? The more animalistic one? It’s…part of me. But it’s part of me I keep locked up. And for good reason. Really glad it doesn’t show up often.”
December 5, 2025 at 6:25 AM
she gasped, punching his arm lightly. Her face is getting redder by the moment. Not helped by the alcohol

“Shit. Forgot I did that…uh, look. I was hor-…hairy. And not in the right state of mind. Animal instincts taking over. Sorry…

…either way, you’re not the only -c-

both could handle these things better. We should, at least.”

sip of her drink

“Kind of like what you saw with me after that…thing attacked my mind. Except that messed me up so much I didn’t see the point of being self destructive. I didn’t see the point of…anything really…

…I guess both of us have…self destructive ways of handling things. We -c-

“I mean…if I fuck up, King Arthur could die. And his sword could end up in the wrong hands. And if Lex is involved? Probably need to tread carefully.”

she curls up in a ball

“…when I screw up I…shut down completely. And my mind goes…to a dark place.”

she scratches her arm, taking another -c-

-c- massive quest. And…I know you’re on your own quest of sorts. I just…how do you manage not to lose it?”
December 5, 2025 at 2:50 AM
“…It…may be because of the alcohol or because I’m comfortable around you. I trust you…”

she pressed the glass to her lips

“…it’s not just being over my head. It’s…well, it’s a mix of shit. Questions about my destiny. Questions about taking on a -c-

she let out a laugh, a little louder than usual

“If anything, you’re just what the doctor ordered. Someone who’s like me but…the opposite. Sometimes a person needs that.”

she takes a sip of her drink

“Granted I need to be more careful with secret identities. My lips can’t be too loose.”
December 5, 2025 at 2:08 AM
-c- is…I mean, he’s in a situation like me. Magical relic and a big destiny. I can relate to that. So…I’m helping him.”
