Bart's room has gotten a lot of use in the past few days. Bart's been sleeping a good portion of the time- concussions suck like that- but at least he knows where he is when he wakes up, which is considerably better than he was doing in the infirmary. (Contrast between 'in danger' and 'safe' is always nice, after all. You forget which one's which, otherwise.)

...Bart's getting really tired of sleeping, lately.

"There was another speedster. I don't... know how. Or why. Or why, if he had him, he needed me, too."

"Oh," is really all she can figure out to say. Because she's not made for these sorts of situations. And Jenny's trying her hardest to be understanding.

That would explain it. A good plan, a very good plan.

"And you don't know what he wanted?"

"You're safe now," she decides upon, hugging him gently. "Promise."

"I know."

He leans his head against her, lightly.



His voice breaks just a little, at the end.

"And you are," she tells him quietly. "You are now."

Unlike Bart's grandfather, who'll be dead if she ever gets her chance to meet him.

Jenny nodded, carefully stroking his hair as he talked. "And?"

"It's not any different than a soldier reliving a bad experience on the battlefield," Jenny answered quietly, thoughtfully. "You will get past it."
