hungryanhorny | 17 - video and spam for the gym; when it all comes crashing down.

[Video]

[There's only one pewter mug atop the counter besides Faith; but viewers shouldn't let that fool them. She's already on her third Pan Galact Gargle Blaster - fully drunk and looking to get drunker as she pulls a final sip of the heady stuff up to her lips for another drought. One last burst of forced apathy, before she puts the glass down.]

Barbara's gone.

[The feed clicks off.]

[Spam]

[Drunk - this much drunk - is very much different than buzzed; it's different from her normal drunk too. It isn't relaxed, or teasing; it isn't even apathetic anymore; it's angry; it's enraged - at herself, at the Admiral, at whatever the hell gets in her way.

Drunk; angry; and capable of punching through most walls - it's probably a good thing she's found her way into the gym. Not that the punching bag can take much more of her. Not when each punch pushes it to the end of its chain.]

ooc: Here for a few hours, and then gone until Weds. :( Putting this up to let everyone react, and because Faith can honestly use the support.

Faith locked her pup in the room if anyone's wondering - she doesn't want Ruby seeing her like this. >,>

It's your fault.

Kinda figured. [Forget the fact that Barbara was just starting to trust her; no; really; it's temporarily blotted from her mind - it's much easier to just blame herself.]

Why didn't you protect her?

Didn't think she needed it. [Didn't think the Admiral would snatch her away.]

Right.

I'm not buying this martyr thing. If you cared about her you'd drop those bottles.

'Cause she'd care? [They met in a bar. This bar.]

You'd be looking for her, trying to get her back.

You wanna try? [Her item - always able to pinpoint Barbara - suddenly can't find her; the room's empty; she isn't anywhere on the ship...\

I am going to. You should be trying to get her back, too.

You wanna tell me how? [She needs a face to punch.]

ooc: Correction - it can only find her in ports. But her item isn't saying whether she's alive or dead anymore, so... :|

I don't know, but drinking won't bring her back.

video.

Kara, it's not. It's the Admiral's. Let her be.

Right, I forgot.

It's the Admiral's fault. It's always their fault. Yet nobody raises a finger to change a thing, do they?

If we could, we would, but we can't. Lashing out at Faith over what happened isn't going to change anything.

THEN WHAT WILL?!

[Her eyes are bright red.] Barbara didn't deserve to be an inmate. She didn't deserve this.

And now she's home, and gets to go back to protecting her Gotham like none of this ever happened. Believe me, I get that you're upset, but yelling about it isn't going to change anything

[And just like that her red eyes slowly fade away, hissing as the tears evaporate in contact with the heat.]

She... she told me I'd grow up strong and smart and- and-

[Dick's expression softens a little. He's upset too, but it's easier to focus on other people and not on himself, because it's hard not to feel like he's been losing a lot of people lately, and it's better not to focus on it.] And you're going to. It's okay to miss her, but I promise she's going to be fine.

No I'm not, it was- it was a different universe. I will never know how I will grow up because I'll be stuck in here forever because no one even knows why did I even end in this place.

And I know she will. She was strong, and determined and- she didn't deserve this.

Kara, don't talk like that. You're going to get out of here, and you're going to have a great life. We'll figure it out.

Kara, don't. This is really not the time or place.

Why are you protecting her?

Because she's my friend, and she's obviously hurting and she's not here to be your punching bag. If you want to talk, talk to me.

She's not my punching bag, she's just- it's her-

...Can we? Talk, I mean.

You're kicking her when she's down. Come on, I've still got plenty of ice cream.
