A glimmer of silver...

[femme-du-chat.livejournal.com]

Having to get used to your own body isn't something that most people ever have to do. Luckily for Selina, it doesn't seem to be taking her very long at all. Still, she hasn't ventured out onto the rooftops yet. Not further than her own roof, at least.

Wouldn't want to go and do something really embarassing.

Looking out over the city, a glimpse of something silver catches her eye as it moves through the night. Soft notes reach her ears as she turn to look, one of the facets drawing her eyes to it.

Whatever this is, she would like to keep it.

A thumb strokes over her fingers.

"Not much I can do."

[femme-du-chat.livejournal.com]

"There isn't much anyone can do."

There is a small smile on her face, almost as if she finds the thing funny.

[bigbadharv.livejournal.com]

It gets an inquistive look.

But it has never been possible to resist smiling with her.

"You look... centered."

[femme-du-chat.livejournal.com]

"I've had some time to get used to it. I guess I'm only going to have four lives after all." Selina looks up at him, "I'm not the one who is a worry at all."

[bigbadharv.livejournal.com]

He looks down for a moment.

"I'll be okay. Don't worry, I know you're still out of my league..." he says, still smirking slightly.

[femme-du-chat.livejournal.com]

"You were never."

Selina coughs for a moment before looking more serious. "But I worry about everyone else at this point. Sort of a turnabout."

[bigbadharv.livejournal.com]

"Stop that. Let us busybodies do all the worrying. Let yours go."

"There are too many people in my life who don't take care of themselves..." Harvey's hands are warm and she can feel it spreading through her hands.

[bigbadharv.livejournal.com]

"You're one of them. We'll get by."

A glance toward the door.

"I'll keep him in line."

[femme-du-chat.livejournal.com]

Selina arches her brow at that.

[bigbadharv.livejournal.com]

One is arched back.

"Not like that."

[femme-du-chat.livejournal.com]

"I was just wondering how, really. I wish you luck."

[bigbadharv.livejournal.com]

A deep sigh.

"Selina... did someone do this to you? Our world is full of poisoners and sick bastards who could... who might have..."

[femme-du-chat.livejournal.com]

"Not that I know of, Harvey. It's cancer. It happens. It would be easier if there were someone to beat up."

[bigbadharv.livejournal.com]

A defeated shrug.

"I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I go beat up the clown anyway."

[femme-du-chat.livejournal.com]

"Not at all."

Selina brings his hand to her lips, to kiss his palm. She's so very awful with words. She has no idea how to express what she wants to express. The worries she has for all of them. It doesn't make her angry anymore but is still frustrates her.

[bigbadharv.livejournal.com]

That... was unexpected.

A finger traces her lips.

"Never would've worked between us, would it?"

[femme-du-chat.livejournal.com]

"I don't know."

Selina chuckles softly, "It isn't as though we ever really tried, either." A small pause, "I might still pull through this but if I don't... Please. Take care."

[bigbadharv.livejournal.com]

A somber nod.

"You always took better care of me than I could myself."

[femme-du-chat.livejournal.com]

"I want to keep doing it, Harvey."

Selina smiles up at him a little more.

"You and everyone else."

[bigbadharv.livejournal.com]

"Then fight the good fight. Don't leave me to my own devices," he says, with a small grin.

"Get out of this place as soon as you can."

[femme-du-chat.livejournal.com]

"You have no idea how much I want to get out of here. I don't know if it is in the cards."

[bigbadharv.livejournal.com]

"You'll do it. Stop debating it and just do it."

A squeeze of her hand. He's not so great at pep talks.

"I've got to be in court in half an hour... but call me if you need me. Or if you want me."

[femme-du-chat.livejournal.com]

"Go save the day, Harvey."

She squeezes his hand in return. "You have all of the paperwork you need from me." All she can do is hope that the family she helped to build for herself manages to survive without her.
