Day 34: Lunch

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Yuffie bounced all the way through collecting her lunch, all the way to a good seat- one with a nice view of the whole cafeteria, which was something she'd been missing out on during the past day or so that she'd been stuck in the Institute- and hell, she even bounced into her seat.

A good mood? No, really?

Despite the occasional blip, talking to Sagara had been awesome. He was a fun guy; he wasn't a prude, didn't have a stick shoved so far up his ass it was poking out his eyeballs, and he'd actually had a conversation with her. One that hadn't revolved around doom, gloom or how much life sucked. If she could find other people like that and keep in touch with Sagara, maybe there was a little hope for this place.

After a quick gulp of pink lemonade, Yuffie settled to munching through her food and keeping an eye on the door.

"Well, yeah," Wally answered. "It's kinda hard for people not to notice a giant satellite orbiting the planet, after all. And the League is in the news a lot, specially recently. Though, it's not always good." He stared down at the table, shoulders slumping a little. He really didn't want to think about all the stuff that the League had done recently. Nor about their fight with Brainiac. Luthor. Whatever they'd been called then. That train of thought lead to speed and the feel of the world slowing around him while something called him ever onwards and it had just been so... perfect.

For a moment he felt an overwhelming sense of loss, but he quickly covered it with a huge smile. "Some of them do. I think it depends on what they want and why they're in the whole hero business in the first place. At least, that's what I'd think," he added hastily.

Watching wally was certainly interesting, the way emotions rapidly played across his face. "The heroes on my team don't really have secret identities anymore," Marcus explained. "People have known who I am for decades now. I think it's a lot easier, though sometimes I do miss not being recognized as Statesman on the streets."

It was nice to not have to worry about keeping his lives separate, though. Marcus hadn't had too much trouble with it at first, but once he'd really become famous it had been harder to keep his private life to himself.

"Doesn't that cause problems for their families?" Wally asked with interest. "I thought that was half the reason the League kept their identities secret. Least, that's what they always say." It sounded to Wally as though Paragon City could have easily fitted into his own world. There didn't seem to be that many differences at all.

"Everyone in my family is a hero, and my powers got passed down, so not much can even scratch my granddaughter," He still remembered when she'd first shown him that she'd inherited his super strength, lifting up the car they'd been riding in after they got out.

"And in fact, two of my team mates are going to be married soon." Manticore and Sister Psyche were a good match. And it was fitting that he'd end up with the only person that knew what he was planning half the time.
