Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[wantstodirect]

For the Darkest Night finale episode, Tony handwavily picked up a couple of pizzas and several pints of ice cream. He filled up a plate for himself with a little of each. Mmm, pepperoni and chocolate. Wasn't too bad, actually.

Tonight's season finale episode featured a number of flashbacks from Raymond Dark's life. From the previews, it looked like most of them involved waterfalls, children in white clothing and butterflies. Very existential. Tony hoped they could fit some shirtless Lee in there somewhere. Maybe under the waterfall.

She blushed, ducking her head to tuck a strand of hair behind one ear.

"Yeah. Warrior. Though not with, uh, sword or anything."

"Oh? What do you use?" Tony asked. "Gun? Fists?"

"Yo-yo."

She was in a good enough mood she just came out with it. If he laughed, he laughed. Zack hadn't laughed, so that made one person! Maybe there'd be others?

"It works for me," she promised.

He didn't laugh, he just blinked. "Yo-yo? Like, you hit people on the head with it?" He could see it being pretty effective, actually, if you were good with it.

"Sometimes."

If you were hypothetically named Arthur. And only when she was annoyed. And only hypothetically.

"I can use the string to cut things," she continued.

"It works for me."

The more she talked about it, the less it seemed--

Oh. Wow. Tony. Who she was supposed to ask about demons. That cut right through the cheerful mood and had her eyes opening wide before she realized how ridiculous the response was and poked herself in the thigh to settle down.

"It's my, um, ability."

[wantstodirect]

"You okay?" Tony asked, noticing the reaction. "We can totally talk about something else if you want."

She shook her head quickly.

"No, no, it's fine. You're not laughing. That's good," and she smiled.

"I just thought of something else Dinah mentioned. Probably not the right time, though."

[wantstodirect]

"Okay," Tony said. He couldn't argue the 'not a right time' when he wasn't sure what it was about. "Well, I'm around, if you need something."

[cutsthestrings.livejournal.com]

"Sure. For now, though--"

She looked at the screen and was pleased enough to find what she wanted.

"Shirtless vampires?"

Mmm, shirtless vampires.

[wantstodirect]

"Shirtless vampires," Tony grinned. "And shirtless sidekicks."
