[ring-ring-ring]

Jack? It's me.

We need to talk. Now.

Zatanna.

You know I didn't actually go and get a puppy, right?

[...okay! that actually ears a faint smile from her. She'd almost forgotten about the Puppy Thing.]

I figured as much, considering you haven't been over to ask for help yet.

But this isn't about the puppy you don't have.

Kyle just called me. He said...he can't see you anymore.

Ye of little faith.

[ a quick blink ]

News travels fast! Haven't quite figured that one out yet. Billy stopped being able to see me after I turned back into a guy too. Maybe those two things are related?

He was worried. And since I just happen to know a thing or two about magic...and you...

[Really, it wasn't that surprising he went to her. A lot of people did.]

Does this have anything to do with your Spirit training?

Yeah... he seemed kind of upset.

[ Okay so that was an understatement given Kyle's horrified expression when he was still on the video feed... even though the Lantern couldn't see Jack, the spirit had still been watching him. ]

With my...? I can't see how it would be related? I'm just learning things that... I'm already supposed to know.

[She sighed, leaning back and blowing some hair out of her face.]

I know, but it's the only thing that's different about you from before. Well...that I know of.

Did something else happen to you recently? Anything at all.

Well, that's not it-- it can't be. It has to be something else, I'm not doing anything... anything wrong.

I didn't say you were, Jack.

I'm just trying to help. You'd know more about how Spirit rules work than I do. I'm only going by what you've already told me about what it was like for you before you came here.

No, I don't know more about spirit rules than you or anyone else does! That's half the problem right there!

[She goes silent at that. Expression blanking.]

...you're upset.

I said something wrong again, didn't i?

[ And like that the ire is gone, withered away. He knows logically it's not her fault, it's no one's fault. ]

No. No, you didn't. I'm just... tired of always finding stuff out after the fact.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you.

It's alright, Jack. I get it. Really.

We'll figure something out. I promise.

[Now if only she knew what that something was.]

...in the meantime, we could always try coating you in flour or something. It'd be kind of hard for people to miss something like that floating around.

Heh, yeah. I'll get the flour, you get the bucket.

I... maybe I should go and see Kyle in person tomorrow. See if that makes any difference.

Deal.

Want me to come with? Maybe I could sense if something's affecting either of you.

Yeah, that'd be good.

Also, uh... you know. To let him know what I'm saying.

One Kyle-Jack translator, at your service.

Come get me whenever you're ready, alright? You know I'm always up early.

[ This reply comes a bit slower as he's going back and forth between this conversation and the one with Kyle. ]

One o'clock should be all right.

One O'Clock it is.

See you then. I'll leave the window open.
