Housewarming

[gotham_knocking]

The new apartment awaits its guests. Brand new folding chairs line the walls of the dining room, and the living room is as clean as possible.

Almost everything is ready. Let the housewarming begin!

Steph leans back to survey him thoughtfully.

"I guess I could call you Allie. It's just kind of girly."

Her scowls at Steph. "No. Alex. Or Knox. I am NOT girlie.

"Besides," he says with the scowl receding," Raps and I know a kid named Allie and she IS a girl. Ten years old. Raps' sort adopted her."

Steph grins at him. "I know. I wouldn't dare really."

"We all do that a bit here, don't we?" she asks, thoughtfully. "There's this adorable tiny ghost boy, Santi, I'm totally adopting him. Poor kid. And I have family now I never used to have." She's a bit wistful, thinking of Barry, Arithon, Dick. "Everyone moves on in the end, though, I guess."

"Yeah, I guess." He knows well eonugh that sooner or later, Raps would go home, too. "Better to just take what we can get then. And make the family we can." He doesn't quite think of Steph as family, but since she is so attached to Kita, she's at least part of the larger group if nothing else.

Steph grins. "It seems to have worked out all right so far."
