Breaking bread

[mid_nite_green]

Dough flops onto a flat, floured surface and Tara kneads the sticky mass. The last 18 months have started fading a little. Not fading exactly. Tara's memory is perfect, but there is something about getting distance and new memories that's just as soothing as baking. With Corrine back, the world feels more...organized. Dinner can be made for someone - multiple someones again. She's sorely lacked that focus - that target.

But can it really be what it was?

The dough flops down hard on the parchment paper again.

"Does Batman take a break, ever?" Tara shrugs. "I know he's human, but that guy makes me look laid back. Amelia is a question of will it be more drama or less to invite her."

"How about Chimp? He's pretty much that cranky-ass grandfather type."

"I've only met him a few times, and never really like--" Corrine uses her sleeves like 'Batman' and 'Merlynne' puppets. "'I am the Bat.' 'ZOMG HI SCARY MAN.' Just, like, 'Hey, look, Batman's over there!'"

She drops the puppet show. "As for Amelia, I can't think of any reason to invite her, and the drama I foresee is great, so... yeah, I'm gonna hope it doesn't come up. And Chimp is a great idea. If it wasn't for his help at Kenton, and calling you guys together again this time, I might not be here two times over. He's earned it as part of my family."
