[Shortly after Superman's disappearance.

Something's got to have happened, Crane thinks. He doubts Superman would have let him taunt Superboy and Power Girl without saying anything.]

If we want to prove ourselves to the ones we love, we must show our trust in them being able to cope without our protection.

Oh, but we know what happened the last time Superman vanished, don't we?

[Is he implicating himself in this latest disappearance? Yes!]

[ Again?

Peej is in no mood for this, especially with Superman's port out. She's been stewing in her own anger over it, thinking about the relationship she'll never get to have with him. It's just like with all the others; they all end up leaving one way or another. She never gets what she wants. ]

Confessing to something, Scarecrow?

Permatext

[restingstitchface]

Yes. No. You know, Power Girl, loneliness is about more than physical distance. It's emptiness in the core. Selfishness that we cannot accept, so we give it another name. How does it feel to have everything you desire stolen from you?

[boobwindow]

[ What? ]

What are you talking about NOW?

[restingstitchface]

Losing Superman and the emotions of that.

Or perhaps not. Can it be said I am talking about him if he no longer exists? Food for thought.

[Come and smash his other window. You know you want to. He wants you to. All that anger. All that fear.]

[boobwindow]

[ It makes her blood boil, but she's in control of herself for the time being. She's not going to succumb to his taunts. He's gunning for a reaction, isn't he? ]

Is there a reason you're so obsessed with us suddenly?
I thought you guys [ Rogues ] were obsessed with getting Batman's attention.

[restingstitchface]

Well, you'd be amazed at how much research I can fit into my life now I have the time.

Nothing can heighten my magnum opus more brilliantly than occasionally delving my hands into the basics.

[Now he has no life whatsoever. THANKS, GUYS.]

[boobwindow]

Get a hobby, like knitting or Netflix.

[restingstitchface]

Why? Research is my favorite pastime, and now I find myself with more time for it.

I do not particularly think Netflix fascinates me. There is something to be said of the experience of walking through a store and browsing the shelves. But such magical experiences pale in comparison to the real thing.

[boobwindow]

We're not your guinea pigs for whatever "research" you're working on.

[restingstitchface]

Of course you're not.

You're participants in a clinical trial.

[Duh.]

[boobwindow]

We are not your anything.
Are you here to annoy me again or do you actually have something valuable to say?

[restingstitchface]

Again. What a fascinating word. I did more than annoy you the first time, wouldn't you say? I don't think it is good of you to lie.

Unless that, too, is acceptable behavior when people deserve it.

[boobwindow]

You deserve a lot more than a broken window.

[restingstitchface]

Well, you can come over and do something about that, then. Unless you're chicken.

[Cluck. Cluck. Cluck.]

[boobwindow]

[ It does make her angry, but she forces herself to remain rooted to where she is. ]

I'm the coward? Take a good look in the mirror first, Scarecrow.

[restingstitchface]

Now, it's not cowardice to use what we've been given. For some of us, that's intelligence. I'm just using the tools available, here.

[Using all those people.]

[boobwindow]

You're hiding behind a little screen, harassing people like some kind of basement dwelling troll instead.
You're pathetic. It's not cowardice to not want to deal with you in person. It's saving myself a splitting HEADACHE.

[restingstitchface]

[Excuse YOU.]

Now, that's a self-righteous thing to say, seeing as you hide behind a name, too afraid to show your real face.

Regardless, if I come over there and say this to you in person you'll have a more favorable opinion of me?

[Well, no she won't. He knows that.

And what's house arrest, anyway?]

[boobwindow]

I don't harass people for your information.

[ She really wants to smack him in the face right now. ]

Keep dreaming. I'll dump your ass on the curb.

[restingstitchface]

The curb. Not the couch, then?

[He's not taking this seriously at all.]

[boobwindow]

Do you WANT to be punched in the face?

[restingstitchface]

I want to see you try.

[boobwindow]

As tempting as it is, it would also be giving you the satisfaction.
I won't do that.

[restingstitchface]

No you won't.

But what if your cousin decides to pay me a visit. Pray tell, what then?
