I thought this alternate reality crap only happened in those comic books that Gibson collects.

I don't need to apologize to the guy I punched in the face when he tried to stick a needle in my arm, right? Didn't think so.

So I'm supposed to be looking for people I know on here, I guess. So, Barbara, Dinah, if you two are out there, let me know? Although I guess Barbara's probably out. If she were she would've figured out a way to reverse that wacky portal ten seconds after she passed through it.

Everyone else, since I should apparently socialize, hi, I'm Helena. I'm not interested in being your bff so don't ask. Is there a bar around here that's hiring? If I'm gonna be stuck here a while I'll need work. And booze, but it's kind of a cycle.

No kidding. I had trouble wrapping my head around all the shit that went down in New Gotham some days. This is a little much.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Plus, I hadn't really planned on dealing with alternate reality kids of bartending age until I was at least in my thirties.

New Gotham? Do I even want to know?

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Not as exciting as you might think it was. There was an earthquake. Old Gotham is pretty much buried under New Gotham.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

I was there for the quake and a little of the aftermath. It was still just Gotham City, though. Not like the whole thing was leveled.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Yeah it was pretty much leveled here. Or well. In my world.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Your world already sounds absolutely charming.

[giantego]

This is so screwed up, I think I'm in love with it.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

You really don't want to test my patience right now, Perry.

[giantego]

Fair enough. Because now I'm thinking what if some modelesque fruit claiming to be Jack Cox came through and told me that in ~his world~ his father had stepped down from medicine after the hospital was leveled, and it gives me the willies. Difference is, I'm not currently pregnant with the clone baby herself. Anyway, not my point. Do you need anything.

Someone to find a way around the whole "no drinking when with fetus" thing.

I can understand the better safe than sorry route, I can, but let me let you in on a little doctor secret: if you're almost to third trimester you can handle half a glass of wine without worrying about it.

But I wouldn't risk it if I were you. We can figure something else out.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Yeah, barely into the second. But thanks.


Do you think they'd let me in for another ultrasound early?

[giantego]

Maybe, maybe not. I can make them.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

My hero.



Seriously, thank you.

[giantego]

How many times have I heard that one before.

[giantego]

The answer is a lot.

[giantego]

Anyway, enough nicey-nice, come down to the hospital when you can.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Well, I was going to say I owe you one, but I see the pleasure you get from helping others is more than reward enough.

I'll be over soon.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Hey I'm not here to throw you off or anything. I had my mom and far as I'm concerned you can just consider me some chick who just happens to have the name Helena Kyle. If I could leave I would.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Don't think I'm blaming you for this mess. Trust me, I'm not.

...Kyle, huh. So your dad wasn't around either, then.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

My father didn't even know he had a kid up until I was seventeen.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

She didn't...

He was still alive?

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Far as I know he still is. I mean he left New Gotham after..some stuff went down, but I used to get the feeling he was keeping tabs on me.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

I still don't understand why she'd keep it from your father. And your grandfather too, I'm guessing. And how they couldn't figure it out.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Well it wasn't all earthquakes and supervillians.
