[maglevflash]

my hands are shaking too much to even do work

4/?

[maglevflash]

I don't know what to do

5/?

[maglevflash]

I mean, I could call Wally
but I don't want to wake him up every time I have a nightmare

it's not fair to him to have to deal with this mess

6/?

[maglevflash]

I'm just really tired of jumping at shadows
of not being comfortable being by myself

7/?

[maglevflash]

I KNOW I'm safe
I do
it's just hard to tell my brain that

8/8

[maglevflash]

what should I do?

Re: 8/8

[incogneto]

That's something you should ask your doctor.

But it would help if someone stayed with you tonight. Wally, maybe?

[maglevflash]

[Shit. Shit. That's not Harley.

She doesn't reply right away, panic gripping her chest at an unknown as her message went awry again. She didn't think, had forgotten entirely the comms were weird that day. What if it went to Crane-

No. It didn't sound like Crane. Crane was condescending even in text. She takes a few focus breaths and reaches out metaphysically for the small metal spheres on her desk. Focus on holding them, moving them slowly in careful circles around each other. Center yourself.]

Mr. Lensherr?

Sorry
I meant to send that to my doctor, actually

Hope I didn't wake you up.

[incogneto]

I figured. Best to call her, I think.

You didn't.

[ A long pause. ]

Do you want company?

10/3

[inmyothertights]

So my mother still isn't talking to me, except to mock me once in a while, and my grandfather thinks I hate him.

You know

typical day, life of Billy Kaplan, welcome to hell

Re: 10/3

[incogneto]

If your mother and grandfather are both here, you're already luckier than most.

Wait, who is this?

[inmyothertights]

....Billy.

Kaplan???

Who is this?

Kitty?

[incogneto]

Not even close.

This is Erik. Lehnsherr.

Not to pry, but maybe you should have your grandfather speak to your mother.

[inmyothertights]

[How

is

this

his

life.]

I don't think that would really work out.

[incogneto]

I know you don't like me for reasons you won't say, but maybe if you try not shutting other ideas out, your family might communicate a little better.

[inmyothertights]

I don't dislike you.

It's really complicated.

[incogneto]

As you keep saying.

Somehow it was less stressful for you to reverse animating everyone's toilets.

So really, you're making a mountain out of an anthill.

[inmyothertights]

Look, if I tell you, it might actually upend your whole world.

[incogneto]

I assure you I am not that delicate.

But maybe we should focus on your other issue first.

[inmyothertights]

They're sort of linked.

[incogneto]

You want me to talk to your family?

[inmyothertights]

No.

You. Sort of are. My family.

[incogneto]

[ He types out and deletes a lot of things. And settles on: ]

How do you know?
