06 - Just give me something to fight for

[ichoosefight]

[ Video ]

[ Steph is in the gym. From the look of her she's already gotten a bit of a workout, but she's raring to go for more. ]

I'm in the market for some sparring partners. I want to start training again. I'm pretty out of practice. I mean, three months ago I was training with Batman, so take that as you will, but I'm out of practice.

I don't have any of my own weapons, obviously, but if anybody wants to practice with weapons I'm sure I can get some from the supply closet. I'm talking serious training here, not just playing around.

So... if anybody wants to spar right now, you can see I'm in the gym. So bring it!

[ Private to Bruce Banner ]

[ This message is quieter, more serious. ]

I don't want to talk to therapists anymore. I don't like it, and I don't think it's helping me.

Tim was here?

[ Okay, she's going to need a moment. ]

They're not coming back, are they?

[myresponsibility]

Last time I checked, no.

[He visits Tim sometimes. BV]

[ichoosefight]

Oh.

[ She relaxes visibly, and in a moment she's ready to fight again. ]

[myresponsibility]

Sorry, I figured someone would have said. Something. Before now.

[ichoosefight]

It's okay. I was just a little surprised. [ And. panicked. ]

[myresponsibility]

[He hesitates a beat or two before continuing.]

Tim and I were pretty good friends. He helped me out the first day I got here, and I've visited a couple times.

Gotham's a weird place.

[ichoosefight]

It's a pretty awful place, is I think what you meant to say.

[myresponsibility]

That works, too.

[ichoosefight]

Can we talk about something else? Thinking about home makes me... antsy.

[myresponsibility]

Sure. What do you want to talk about?

[ichoosefight]

Where are you from?

[myresponsibility]

New York. My aunt and I live in Queens.

[ichoosefight]

I've never been. What's it like?

[myresponsibility]

Apparently it's more like Metropolis? I mean, there are bad parts, but it's not, you know. [As bad as Gotham, but that's probably a given.]

It's busy, no one drives but there's always a ton of traffic, people are way too into baseball in the summer. I like it.

[ichoosefight]

Never been to Metropolis either.

I take it you're not into baseball?

[myresponsibility]

Do they have the Yankees and the Mets where you are?

[ichoosefight]

Among others, yeah.

[myresponsibility]

I'm a Mets fan.

[Which says everything, really.]

[ichoosefight]

Ah.

[ Yeah no she gets it. ]

I never really had a team. But it's fun to watch.

[myresponsibility]

My uncle and I used to go to at least one game a year, sometimes opening day if we could, you know- [Afford tickets. BV] Get tickets.

[ichoosefight]

Wow. Now that's devotion. [ And also expensive ] I bet you had a lot of fun together.

[myresponsibility]

Yeah, we did.

[ichoosefight]

Do people ever play sports around here?

[myresponsibility]

Scott's been trying to teach people lacrosse, and I think people were talking about organizing a hockey team.

[ichoosefight]

You'd think soccer would be easiest, with the CES.
