Mako's Message: You deserve better.


Well, the night is almost over I've heard nothing of anything horrific happening back home, so maybe that fuckhead actually kept his word.

Well...they do say there's a first time for everything.

So today was good. Got up early and went out for a jog with Carl. The sun was just coming up as we left and everything was covered in frost. We talked about things. Like how I was handling all the violence going on in New York, and if I'd ever consider coming to stay with them for awhile. I told him I wasn't having any trouble with it, of course, and said that it might be nice, sometime(I mean, Kiara and I did finally make nice so it's not an impossibility. Just unlikely as hell.) but I really didn't like the idea of leaving my friends for too long. I think he read a little more into that than I meant, but not in a bad way. Though, if he thinks I'm worried my friends might get killed at any moment he might try to push Marcus to get me out of the city more often.

Not that I'm not worried. Just, not for the friends he thought I was talking about. Unless he was talking about Dave. But Dave can handle himself alright now, and he's wearing the armor, and he's got at least one other member of Justice Forever watching his back. So he's fine.

It's only been three days since I last saw him, and I talked to him last night, but I still miss him. How lame is that? When did I get so fucking sappy?

Anyway. By the time we got back Marcus was just getting up. Was in the kitchen, still in his pajamas, pouring himself coffee when we walked in. I said, "About time you got up."

He just smirked at me and said, "At least when I have a day off I know the difference."

He can be such a jackass when he wants to be.

He did have coco ready for me though, so I forgave him.

And to be fair he was the third one up. The fourth was Delton. Then an hour or two later Jasmin woke up, the grand parents arrived, and eventually Kiara crawled out of bed and we could open presents.

Marcus bought things the were supposed to be from me, which was good because I totally forgot to get anything for Marcus's family and I felt like a complete tool when I saw there was a decent pile of presents for me and I hadn't gotten anyone anything.

I didn't get anything special this year. Marcus' present was especially lame.

Delton got a video game that he wanted me to play with him. So I spent most of the day doing that. Dinner was good. I haven't been that stuffed since the Thanksgiving we spent at Dave's.

I haven't heard from him today, except for a "Merry Christmas" text that I missed. I sent one back when I finally saw it, but I haven't heard anything from him since. I hope everything is okay. But not, ya know, TOO okay. The last thing I need is to find out he spent the day banging Riley until she couldn't walk.

So anyway, after dinner Kiara and I watched the My Little Pony version of a Christmas special. It was...cute. They probably could have solved their problems by giving their leaders a good buck to the head long before they ended up encased in ice though.

Okay. Seriously. Why haven't I heard from Dave? I've tried texting him and he still hasn't responded. There's nothing in the news about anything big happening back home. Hell, there's nothing in the news about ANYTHING happening.

Everybody but Kiara is downstairs watching some Christmas movie. I tried watching it with them but I just couldn't focus on it. Same thing when I tried just dicking around the internet. Even the Real Superhero Registry boards couldn't keep me my attention. Maybe I should just go to sleep.
