[ When he arrives, he'll find Diana sitting at the edge of the roof, each hand holding a cone of ice cream. She's eating one; the other she offers out to Kyle with a warm smile. ]
I had to guess at a flavor, but almost everyone likes chocolate.
[ This may be an uncomfortable conversation, with everything they have to discuss. A little sweetness at the start might help. ]
[ She looks out over the city, musing for a moment over her ice cream, then turns back to Kyle. ]
I know Bruce told you our plans. But I wanted to check in with you, after... everything.
[ Kyle, seeing them all die. Kyle, left alone for thousands of years as a splinter of himself. Kyle, who had borne the dreams of death and destruction that foretold everything that followed. ]
[ Those in Man's World seem to use those words – I'm fine – when the truth is the precise opposite, a practice she finds strange but understandable. But however Kyle means it, it would be a disservice to him not to take his statement at face value. ]
That's good to hear.
[ She ignores her ice cream for a moment, looking up at the sky. ]
I, myself, am... troubled. It's difficult not to recall the last time I went into the past with friends and teammates. I hope we find a better outcome in this endeavor.
[ Her trust in him is solid as bedrock. He will, because he has to, and because she knows he can. He's come a long way from the brand-new Green Lantern who came to her looking for advice on how to be a hero. ]
When I'm back, I hope we can have a longer talk. I'd like to hear more about your time here.

Yeah, the last time was rough. We barely managed.
You sure about this?
no subject
[ She turns a rueful glance on him. ]
I'm sorry to leave you again so soon. Perhaps it's selfish... but it's been a comfort to know you're here.
[ Someone who knows her, who has worked with her. A friend. ]

[ Hera, she wishes for Kal, for Etta, for Dinah. For more of the League.
And she deeply hopes Kyle isn't seeing visions of them dying again. ]

[ Is that a faint mischievous glint in her eye? ]
But I would be interested to hear the story of how you and Jason started dating.
no subject
How did you —

He was testing my lasso.
no subject
Real genius, that one.

[ Her ice cream is melting; she goes back to eating it to keep it from dripping all over her hand. ]
But if you'd rather, I won't bring it up.
no subject
No, it's fine. I'm just surprised. We haven't exactly spread it around.
no subject
But I hope you're happy. You deserve that.

no subject
Is there anything I can do for you before I leave?
