return_to_nolaWhat did Hazel mean?! She understood what had happened to Katie? Did that mean she was someone else from a universe Katie didn't know, like Sam or Dani were? Katie hadn't recognized Hazel as someone she knew. Did it mean that she only had an artistic epiphany and didn't actually understand at all? Either way, Katie needed to know.
And also, she wanted to see her friend, and her friend's art. And also the face of a Hazel Jean who just told a boy that she loved him.
So Katie had a giant coffee in each hand, a bag full of snacks and water and yes, a bottle of wine, and when she made it to Hazel's shed she knocked with her foot. And by then, she was dying see Hazel, to know what was going on, to understand.

And other people have hosted the Phoenix Force over the years, so it's not a Jean-only thing. Not that that makes it less awful, I guess." She leaned her head against Katie's. "But either way, I love this beautiful gay butterfly and I'm glad she's here."

It's been a long time since I read comics anything like regularly, if I ever did, but I check in with what's going on with characters and stories I like online. And it's been really fun seeing how different bits get translated to movies or television, see how they try to carry that art style over into a completely different medium. Or don't."
She was pretty sure the weirdness would set it eventually, both with regards to being best friends with a superhero she'd drawn dozens of times and her own dual life, but for now she was feeling pretty good about it all. "I've always been the kind of person to be delighted by the wonders of the universe instead of intimidated by them. I don't see why I should stop now."
