“Of course you can.” she smiled back. “I’m just used to seeing you with dark hair. But you look good with any shade.”

She nodded a little. "Mm, well, thanks. I usually keep the dark hair as Rook. Makes it easier."

“Makes sense.” she nodded. “Plus, people would expect someone who shifts into a crow to have dark hair.” she reasoned.

"Exactly." she smiled.

Jade smiled back, laughing a little. “It’s so good to see you.”

She grinned, nodding. "It definitely is. How have you been?"

“Doing pretty good. How about you?” she asked.

"I'm great."

“No new trouble then?” she asked with a little smile.

"No, nothing big. What about you? Anything new or exciting?"

“No. Not really.” she shrugged, thinking over the events that happened recently.

She nodded a little. "Ah, of course."

(haha 😂)

“It’s kinda boring when things are quiet like this, isn't it?” she admitted with a chuckle. “Kinda nice though too.”

"Definitely. Hasn't been too much action from Hex, lately." she commented. She didn't know of the connection between Jade and Killian, of course.

“Oh… Yeah, he's been pretty inactive lately.” Jade agreed, nodding slightly as she tried not to give anything away. “I’ve also noticed that Harbinger hasn't been in the news much either.” she deflected.

"Either of them. It's a bit odd."

“More so for Harbinger. I swear that guy lives to see himself on camera.” she said, rolling her eyes. “Hex on the other hand… He's a bit more, I guess you could say private. Doesn't mind his crimes getting reported but doesn't make much effort to be seen during it.” she added with a shrug.

Raven nodded a bit. "Hex is dramatic, though. For all he doesn't care, when you fight him he's…I supposed theatrical might be the best choice." she laughed quietly. "I saw the broadcast for that fight between you where he covered you in glitter."

“Yes, he is. He's a real ham when he wants to be.” she nodded, blushing at the reminder. “Yeah… It could have been worse though. At least he didn't try to run away or disappear from the scene. He stayed and fought when I showed up.” she pointed out.

She nodded again. "True. His abilities are slippery, really." she shrugged. "The amount of things he could do with them, but he sticks to mostly just being a public nuisance is…astounding." she laughed again.

Jade bit her lip slightly as she nodded, trying to appear thoughtful instead of like she was about to laugh. “He is slippery but, personally, I don't mind that he sticks to those kind of crimes. It helps make him seem more manageable as a villain instead of a serious problem that would require more heroes to deal with.” she pointed out.

"Well yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad thing that he doesn't go around on murder sprees." she said, reaching up to take her hair out of the bun it was in. "It's just funny, that he has as much power as he does, but chooses to utilize it in robberies and theatrical displays of pure nonsense."

“I guess so. Robberies I can handle and I'm sure he has his reasons for not escalating his crimes but I have to admit, he's never seemed like the kind of person who would just murder someone.” she shrugged. With maybe one exception… possibly two, but I'm not sure about either of them.

"True." she said softly.
