AUTHOR'S NOTES: Trying to not get the flu is not conducive for creative endeavors. I am back on schedule now, I think. I am going to be branching out to other fandoms here shortly just to let everyone know. I am going to be finishing a couple of stories first, and I will probably be removing my KP/Dr Strange hybrid till I can work on it more. Mantle of the Monkey Master is in serious negotiation of being removed and rewritten. There is a lot in it that just doesn't make sense to me now. It was my first attempt and looking at it now, I know that I have the technology to make it better, stronger, faster. If I just had the six million dollars to go with it… Any ways, enough with the ramblings, on with the story.

Ron was sitting at a table. A large platter of nachos and corndogs sat in front of him. Amazingly, the amount of food hadn't diminished since he sat down ten minutes ago. True there were fewer whole chips. One by one, they were being destroyed by being tapped onto the table until they were nothing more than shattered fragments. Occasionally those that cared enough, or were curious enough to listen could hear a sigh escape from his mouth.

-Ron, you got the food, EAT.-

-I'm not hungry, KP.-

-Stop worrying. She loves you. She just needs some time.-

-I don't think that it is 'this' that she is thinking about. I think it is you and me. How would you feel if your boyfriend had the first girl that he ever crushed on as a constant companion in his psyche-

There was silence in his head. He could feel Kim's presence, but she was quiet.

-Your first crush? Really-

-From the time on the playground, and for a long time afterwards. Probably till about the time you laughed at the thought of us two going out.-

"Looking down there, what's up?"

Ron looked up and saw Green Arrow. Ron chuckled, "Too much real quick."

"If those were bottles I would say that it was women problems," he said turning a chair around and sitting in it. "I don't have the best track record, but I do have some experience. Want to talk about it?"

"That might help. Want something to eat?" Ron pointed to the amassed food.

Green Arrow chortled and shook his head, "Did you ever hear how I got so good with the bow?" Ron shook his head. "I was stranded on a deserted island. I made a bow to hunt for food. There are not many times that I think back to the meals I had there with fondness. Looking at that," he pointed at the combined junk food, "makes me homesick for it."

Ron gave up a small sad laugh. "Old habits die hard. There were sometimes that the only thing that was there for me was things like this…"

"So what's the problem? Kim or Kara?"

Ron looked at him in shock. "Why did you say Kim?"

"When you are that close to someone, even if you aren't romantically involved, can be as deep as or deeper than a lover. So I take it that it involves Kim."

"Yes, and Kara. Something happened." Ron looked around. "Something happened to Kim and me. She's now in me. We can switch out bodies, but we are always together. Kara is a bit freaked by it. I think that Kim is the only person that she was actually worried about relationship-wise between us. Now she is always with me…"

"And how can you compete with someone that is that deep into your head? Could be, could also be that all that happened is a shock. Combine that with those critters that came through…"

"By the way did anyone ever find out what they were?"

"Biologically engineered life forms, apparently someone from Apokolips decided to try a new principle on boom tubes. Those little guys were the only thing that could go through them. Ugly muthers weren't they?"

"Looked like demon monkeys. I guess what is freaking Kara out is that Kim died, or was going to die. I offered myself instead."

"So you were willing to die for your friend, and your girlfriend wants to know what about you leaving her?"

"That was brought up. She should know that if it was her instead of Kim I would do the same thing. If I lost either of them, I don't know what I would do."

"Get back on the horse, nothing else to do. Canary and I have had a rocky road. If I decided to not get back up on the horse, where would I be now? It's not an easy life we choose to lead. People that we can talk to and that care for us are far between sometimes. And remember, what you are going through is what Kim and Kara are going through also. I know you can talk to both of them. I have no idea what you are going through is like, but you can talk to me whenever you want."

"Thanks, by the way, you have a certain blond looking for you." Ron pointed towards the door behind Green Arrow and as he turned, he saw Black Canary looking around.

"Same to you behind you," he pointed and Ron turned to see Kara in the doorway. "See ya later, Ron." He got up and waved to the blond in fishnets as he approached her.

As Green Arrow stood up Kara saw Ron sitting at the table and walked over to him. "Mind if I sit?"

"Not at all, you had time to think I guess."

"Yeah," she said looking at the food on the table. "How much have you eaten?"

Ron had a sad half smile on his face. "None, I got it, and then wasn't hungry."

"Want to get something to eat with me? There's this place outside of Metropolis that I know that is quiet and secluded. Maybe you will be hungry by the time we get there? We can take our time and talk things out away from everything?"

"I think that would be a good idea. I probably need to change."

"Yeah, racing leathers don't really fit the place. You still have extra clothes in your locker here?"

"Some, how fancy of a place is this?"

"Khakis and an oxford would be okay. See you in about fifteen minutes at my room?"

"Sure, see you then."
