Mia looked down. "Look, I just meant I know my life expectancy. Kinda tough to really be chummy with someone you know is going to croak before you, barring supervillains of the week," she said.
Tim looked at her sadly. "And my invulnerable Kryptonian best friend, the guy I--" he cut that off, "died right in front of me. "
I gushed to Yena about this in IM, but this exchange just got me. a.) Mia understanding that Tim has to be so tired of people dying on him already says so much about what kind of person/friend she is, even at the beginning of this friendship. b.) Tim acknowledging the sacred code of The Mission Comes First and then saying, essentially that The Mission can kiss his ass made me very pleased. c.) And Kon. (And Steph.) The reference to Kon made me cry.
Dick studied the way Mia had a grip on his brother's hand and reminded himself sternly not to read into things--and that he ought to talk to Tim later, not drag him away... Also? Dick is nosey as hell. Let the boy have a social life, dear. It's a good thing. We don't want Ass!Tim.
"You're welcome, Kyle. Just a small welcome from me into one of the two craziest families on the face of the planet...not having white hair." *giggles.* Mia sat beside him to play, then glanced sideways at him. "So do they wear their own, or each other's colors?" "MIA!!!" Tim barely managed to keep that from being a full-fledged shriek. "Well?!" "I... I cannot believe you even would ask that, I'm trying not to think about it!!"
*g* Timmy. You're such a *virgin.* Mia needs to corrupt your brain some more.
Ollie met that smile with one of his own. "We could always slip free and let them rest here," Ollie hinted. //She's had you all to herself, after all...//
"True..."
Ollie suited action to words, freeing himself first, then helped Bruce slip out from under Dinah's warm weight. An afghan was hastily grabbed and placed over the two sleepers, before Ollie led Bruce out.
*squee.* I love the way this ended. Lian and Dinah falling asleep together. . .and the boys creeping off to have some fun of their own.
