Well. It's been a few weeks since I've done this, but Slade has some more TM prompts he finally answered for me.

42 Does heartache make you stronger?

I'm still breathing, right?

43 If you won the equivalent of $2,000, and had to spend it, what would you spend it on?

What was I doing, playing pool in a local bar? A $2K offer isn't even worth my time.

46 What would you place in a personal ad if you were making one?

Title: Reminders
Characters: Maj. W.R. Wintergreen, Ret.; Joe Wilson.
Word count: 100
Continuity: Joe's about... sixteen. So... pre The New Teen Titans.


He's never seen the blank slate of Adeline's fury in her son's expression, oddly. When Joseph is angry, which is rare, the green goes hot, vividly sharp, and his jaw tightens into an expression he has seen far too often on another face.

There are moments Wintergreen wonders why the consummate professional that Adeline Wilson is has never tried to train that very blatant tell out of the son she's otherwise trained so well... then he remembers Adeline has fewer things to remind her of the man she does still love despite herself than he does, these days, and understands.
