Returning Home To Abby.


So much can happen in only a few minutes. After Batman delivered us back to the swamp this evening, Suzy and I rushed over to Abby's house. When we arrived we found the porch lights on early, a sure sign that Tefé was staying over at the house to look after her mother. We looked in the living room window to see Abby watching television. She was upset and crying. Tefé was yelling at her, saying she was overreacting, that Suzy and I were not killed in the fighting or anything. Most aggitated, Suzy repeatedly rang the doorbell, as I tried to calm her. Tefé answered the door, but instead of greeting us, she screamed to Abby that we'd made it back. My wife rushed out to us, Abby threw herself upon me, saying that she'd never been so scared in all her life. Suzy was about to step off the porch and leave us, but Tefé said, "Come here, you!", and my daughter gave Suzy a most grateful, heart-felt embrace. I told Abby that Woodrue was on the loose and I'd gone looking for him. Then, I went to retrieve Suzy so that she would not make the grievous mistake of joining in the superheroes conflict of the supervillains deadly assault on Metropolis too hastily. Abby expressed her concerns for the Bulleteer, whom she'd directed to join the heroes in Metropolis. Tefé told Abby to stop worrying so much, as my daughter reviewed her own past conflicts and victories over Matango, Arcane, Woodrue, the Word, and Kudzu. Tefé said she knew I was returning home to formulate and execute a plan to stop Doomsday, once and for all. While I thanked Tefé for her faith in me, my major concerns are strictly about Woodrue and the danger he threatens upon all of us. I told Abby that as soon as Woodrue and Poison Ivy leave Gotham and resurface in Metropolis, Suzy and I would go to deal with them. Abby says she doesn't want to think about it anymore. She wants me to take her out to our gazebo in the swamp and take a day or two off, and just concentrate on us. She even wants me to leave the laptop here at the house. I shall report again after most of the weekend has passed, hopefully this sacred time will be shared peacefully. Abby and I need this precious time to be well-spent together, so very desperately...
