Hayley? It's Clark. Is now a good time?

[everylittlegirl]

That depends on what it's for..

It's nothing bad, I promise [He thinks so anyway, he never knows what might trigger Hayley.]

But would you mind if Bean joined us in one of our cooking lessons? The kid is even younger than you are, and he's alone.

[Hayley appears guilty for a split second before her expression recovers. She lifts a hand to scratch idly at the end of one eyebrow.]

Oh. No. That's.. totally fine.

[She drops her hand and glances off screen, then looks back to Clark again.]

I, uh.. meant to talk to you about that? I think I pretty much understand how to cook now, so.. I don't know if I really need to keep taking lessons.

[He lets out a soft 'oh' but he doesn't really look surprised. Kids grow, kids learn and kids go away but Clark has always had a hard time accepting that.]

I guess you're right, I should have realized that earlier. You'll still come visit us, right?

Are you taking it against little girls because you're afraid of calling me an instrument of murder to my face?

[Hayley will be encrypting that, thank you, but she faces him with the video and a dose of attitude.]

Overreact much? Zatanna's older than me, so your whole 'little girl' argument doesn't really mean a whole lot. Besides, she's equally to blame and me trying to rain on her parade doesn't mean you don't get your own storm.

[She sighs, pauses, and her voice softens to something more genuine as she continues.]

I didn't say it to your face because one, I didn't remember how I died the last time we talked and two, you're not gallivanting around playing an elf and trying to bring Christmas cheer like it never happened.

You know what I meant. Your age and hers- what matters if that you decided to make her feel like dirt when she was just trying to have some fun, joke around, spend some quality time with a friend. You know, things teenagers do?

[He seems completely unfazed by her accusations towards him. He knows it's his fault, he should have noticed earlier. He should have been more careful about who got his powers. But accusing Zatanna? Of limits.]

You're not the only one who's died in this place, or the first one to do so. It does not give you a blank card to pull a Christmas Carol and fill everyone with guilt. She's looking for the killer, we all are, and breathing on her neck for dressing up as an elf isn't going to help us find him faster.

Correction: Things normal teenagers do. She's not a normal teenager and this isn't anything like a normal situation anyway. If she wants to have some fun, she should do it when there's not a manhunt.

And newsflash? I may not be the first to die, but this is the first one who killed multiple people and was never found despite tons of people allegedly looking for him. So I'll go ahead and keep playing Scrooge McDuck if it means that maybe- maybe he'll be caught any faster. Because I don't want it to happen again to someone else.

Talking is a thing we need to do.

[everylittlegirl]

What's up?

[bacondivination]

It's pretty hectic hereabouts, so I thought I'd check in. You know, turtle-y mindfucks, Emperor's dead, long live the Emperor, and all that.

[ Why is it always so rude to ask outright if someone was part of an assassination? He's curious. ]

audio;

[everylittlegirl]

[Have some sincere confusion, layered with a hint of worry that he heard about the whole Clark thing.]

I'm fine, thanks.

So this isn't the false god you were talking about.

[Wow so Kon's contacting Hayley right now and looks a little unsure.]

Hayley? It's uh, it's Kon. [Duh.]

Was wondering if you had time to talk? I've...I guess I have something I want to tell you? Talk to you about. Whatever.

[Video]

[everylittlegirl]

[Hayley's already tense and frowning when she clicks on the video to reply.]

What happened?

[Because Kon wanting to talk to her probably means something happened with either Clark or Bart and both have her worried.]

I swear I didn't do anything. I mean, they terrorized me, but I didn't do anything.

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

[He's quiet for a moment and looks confused.]

What? No I wasn't saying you'd done - wait, who terrorised you?

[Because that was more important than what he had to say.]

[Video]

[everylittlegirl]

Wait- What are you talking about?

[skeletonenigma]

Do you want to talk?

text;

[everylittlegirl]

About?

text;

[skeletonenigma]

[You know exactly what about, Hayley.]

Whatever you'd like. I'm sure I can scrounge up another brownie.

No thanks. Had my fill of being treated like a kid for awhile. I'll pretend you lectured me.
