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.

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.

[giantego]

I think you're missing the point here: I'm a doctor. Of course it is.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

You're a regular teddy bear.

[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]

I don't think she wanted me to grow up like he did. She gave up the Catwoman lifestyle when I was born, and dad was a big part of the vigilante circuit.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Who was you father, Helena?

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Uh. Bruce Wayne?

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Any younger siblings?

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Unless Batman had some other illegitimate kids running around, it's just me.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess I really can't see any version of me making the same mistake twice.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

Fuck, that came out wrong. I didn't mean...

I'm sorry. I'm not very good at this. Whatever the hell this even is.

[feelthenight.livejournal.com]

Hey if I were under the impression I was a planned kid I'd have to wear a special helmet and ride the short bus.
