El Paso, Texas [Monday evening]
The mission had been a success. It had been long, and busy, and incredibly demanding. He'd barely had time to sleep, worked himself into exhaustion every day, and managed not to think about anything but fighting alien invaders for a whole week.
Oh, and they'd actually beat off said alien invaders. That had been good too.
But mostly the distraction had been what Jaime had been going for. And while he felt a little bit guilty for his priorities, he was still grateful. And as his feet touched the ground in his back yard, he knew that tomorrow that distraction was gone, but that all that exhaustion from fighting would thankfully keep that from happening for at least another night.
And he'd be glad to see his family again.
Even Milagro.
So Jaime de-armored, sighed in relief at the breeze blowing across his skin, and headed for the back door.

And no, she wasn't giving her opinion on how she thought Jaime compared to Superman.

"About you, I mean, Dinah." He shrugged. "I don't think we have a Momoko. Or a Blossom. We have Japanese heroes, but I've never seen anyone like her." Anywhere, really. Momoko was special.
no subject
"Ah ah!" Momoko set her elbows on the table and rested her chin in her palms with an exaggerated sigh. "It must be so nice to have other heroes around."

You know, in case she'd rather visit Dinah.

Okay, she'd volunteered for them, but it totally counted.
"Mr Alfred, though. He totally would."

"I want to, but don't know when! Classes, homework, police work, and the occasional monster." Momoko mused as she let her hands collapse and fold on the table. "We have totally too many criminals and not enough villains. Ah! But I may not be doing as much at the station if Kaikei-san is back from the Gone." Hopefully people had remembered her?
"Believe me, I totally want to visit more. I miss everyone. Talking about something and not having to explain it is awesome."
no subject
Though, really, he could too.
Do as he says, not as he does?

"Don't I?"

Dinah's mun, on the other hand, totally lost this thread."And some people shouldn't talk when we can get to Paco and poke him about how often they forget to call. Dork."
no subject
Very, very unconvincingly.
no subject
"Hey! I don't have Paco's number! I need to get that."
no subject
Dinah gave Jaime an expectant look.
What? Paco totally wanted to hear from them!
no subject
That was just asking for trouble.
no subject
Momoko was totally cheating, yes. But actually it would be kind of interesting to talk to Paco on days when she was feeling a little down; he was totally fun.
no subject
no subject
Wait...
"You're cheating!" he accused, actually sounding surprised by this totally obvious revelation.
no subject
Although it really would be nice to be able to chat with Paco, it was now just purely fun teasing. It kind of felt like they were all back at school, just hanging out.

"And I don't trust Paco to tell you anything that he doesn't consider absolutely hilarious."
no subject
"How about Brenda, then?"
