just don't try to sneak up on me, kay?
no i do feel better. i mean it's not an instant fix but i was sort of doing the reverse of this the other day so i'm trying not to be a hypocrite and trying to tell the guilt to shut up and be logical about it. which is a work in progress but what you said helped, hearing it from someone who gets it instead of someone just trying to make me stop feeling bad
[which isn't to say that Isaac isn't trying to stop her from feeling bad, but the fact he can empathize makes it easier to believe.]

noted. and that makes sense. thanks for the honesty i guess
i mean im pretty sure its okay to feel what youre going to feel. getting mad at yourself because you cant stop feeling guilty is just going to make things worse. stuff like this takes awhile to go away, i think its okay if it's not magically better overnight

yeah i'm trying to be better about that too
[The honesty.
Speaking of which, she honestly isn't sure what to do with his words. She stares at them for a long, long moment, because he's right, again, but she stil can't quite help feeling that way. Again.
All her friends want her to be okay, and she gets that, she wants the same for them, but it's hard. She's working on it, she's trying, but it's such a relief for someone to say that it's okay for things to take time, that he's not expecting her to be magically better.]
thank you. i didn't even realize i needed to hear that but i really fucking did.

haha what can i say? im a pretty smart guy
[No, Isaac. You're not. You just got lucky and you know exactly how this feels and how to sort of get through it.]
dont rush it. just let it happen day by day, that kind of thing. in the meantime you should come get some food with me

[She's... genuinely surprised, if this is an invitation. She didn't think Stan would want her around during any of this.]
what time?
what time?
i'll be there
if there's anytihng i can do for you please don't hesitate to ask

Maybe the bright yellow Bat symbol draws people's attention.
[That isn't what he meant and she knows it.]

[he snorts, shaking his head a little.]
I'm sure that's it.
I'm sure that's it.
Mystery solved.
[But really:]
It's not like anyone would expect it, I mean - if I pretended to come in with the new round of Transports, and my Spoiler mask covered my whole face and my hair was hidden so I could do that again.
[She sighs, shoulder moving in a vague attempt at a shrug.]
I dunno, mostly I think I'm just worried that what I do as Batgirl might hurt my friends. S'why I had the secret ID in the first place.

[Ouch.]

[Wait now she feels bad.
Goddamn texting she is so bad at it.]
i was just teasing, with the first part. sorry if it didn't, um. work?
and i really can't leave where i am right now, i'm not blowing you off or anything. i've gotta look after someone.

I know, I nearly had him convinced to give them back before Sonya fucked it up.
[And she's still angry about that, even if she understands why Sonya was angry. She has every right to be, but it wasn't a smart move, tactically, even if Steph can't throw stones where that's concerned.]
But he shouldn't have done it the way he did. Tempest didn't hurt anyone with her powers, not directly, she wasn't using them dangerously and there wasn't an instant threat. He should've gone through official channels so things didn't get so fucked up.
[But Jesse is crazy.
So.]

I owe you one. See you soon.
[And with that she hangs up and just tries to remember how to breathe.
She's really fucking glad there's someone she can still trust on this stupid moon.]

[She can cook fancier things than that, but it seems like a good place to start.]
