Caroline was bouncing Sam on her knees when Neph lent over the couch. "When are you moving to the big leagues? She asked.
Caroline looked at her sister. "Do what now?"
Neph moved around, sitting next to her as a metal hand ruffled Sam's hair. "Your what, security clearance thirty now? You should be taking on Tsoo, Freakshow, Council.... But you still patrol Kings Row, taking out Skulls, why?"
Caroline sighed. "Because someone has too, that's the problem, people get higher clearances and forget about small crime... But it still exists until some other newbie hero comes along, them they get clearance and leave, but the criminals remain, I have busted the heads of the Skulls Several times, but they keep on coming back."
Neph took Sam, tickling her baby brothers belly as he giggled. "So you taken it on yourself to deal with it?"
Caroline shrugged. "Someone has too and that someone is me.... Plus it's really easy now, I learned a lot of brawling tricks."
Neph nodded. "I guess there is a nobility to it.... Unlike me who keeps having to deal with Praetorian, it's been 14 years, you think orouborus would do something about the temporal portals."
Caroline laughed. "Maybe some one is too good at their job?"
Neph sighs. "Katie doesn't mind, more seers for her to rehabilitate... Even if we are getting temporal twins now, alternate timelines.... Makes my head hurt, but she's happy, so I'm happy."
Caroline smiles. "You are good for her, even if you two don't bang."
Neph rolled her eyes. "Joke about my asexuality, yeah that's fine.'
Caroline's face drops. "Was I sexist?"
"A little."
"Sorry."
They sat there awkwardly as Sam cooed.
"So what about Gir? Heard she has been hitting the D looking for love." Caroline pipped in as the two sisters gossiped about the third.

Neph: I wanna fight!
