you know
it was just like
child labor rumors
trained murderers that couldn't be arrested cuz you did stuff outside the law
taking kids from their parents
tossing them out if they didn't do what they wanted

[white_widow]

Okay.
So, yes, the public has a very watered down version of the story.
Thank you for answering my question.

[coolcostumes]

you're welcome
you're not upset?

[white_widow]

I am not upset.
I'm glad, in fact. I would rather not have the exact details of my "tragic backstory" known to the general population.

[coolcostumes]

you've done pretty well for yourself despite all that

[white_widow]

I guess that depends how you define pretty well, really.
But I am not dead and I still have my brain intact plus under my own control, and all my limbs, and that is something.

[coolcostumes]

and you've got a cool friend who you steal food from all the time!

[white_widow]

I do have that, yes. That cannot be left off the list, what was I thinking?

[coolcostumes]

see and said friend has a cute dog that likes you too.

[white_widow]

Now, the dog being cute and liking me being a big win obviously goes without saying.

[coolcostumes]

hey he could have hated you
it could have happened
but he was smitten as soon as you broke in.

[white_widow]

I did not break in.
And that is hurtful, that you think that is possible.

[coolcostumes]

you didn't break in?
i do remember locking my door before i left.

[white_widow]

Was your lock broken or no longer functional when you got back?

[coolcostumes]

that's because you probably found a crack in my wall and came in that way!

[white_widow]

Your walls have people sized cracks in them? I grow more concerned about your living environment so frequently.

[coolcostumes]

you know that's not what i mean.

[white_widow]

Mm, maybe. I did not slip in through a crack in the wall, in any case.

[coolcostumes]

how did you get in? you didn't break the locks and i didn't leave the doors or windows open

how?

[white_widow]

I should refuse to tell you, as a matter of professional, but...

I picked the lock. Come now, Kate Bishop, was that really not obvious?

[coolcostumes]

oh duh
right.

well, don't do that!
again.

[white_widow]

I think you would like what I would do as an alternative much less.

[coolcostumes]

you could just knock and i'd let you in.

[white_widow]

Sometimes you are not there.

[coolcostumes]

and you have to be there when i'm not there?
