I"LL DO THE EASY ONES FIRST.

Midii ▶ Stocking

Stocking is basically on her "neutral" list right now. Their conversations tend to revolve around Stocking being...Stocking, and Midii not reacting as sharply as most other people seem to. I think in part of that is because Midii is fairly good with reading people, and she was able to tell--for example, with the Canary--that there was more to the issue at hand than the public outburst. Now, this isn't to say she thinks Stocking is all that nice of a person, or necessarily even Good. But she is willing to look past the crass and the language and the tantrums and wait to see if there's more to her.


Midii ▶ Jack

Learning about Jack was...difficult for her. Because, for a while, she couldn't understand why there was this person who was very obviously communicating with her, whom she knew existed, and yet because she didn't believe she couldn't see or hear him. She's so focused on empirical evidence and the importance of cold, hard facts (LOL I MADE AN IRONIC PUN) that she didn't realize she was honestly looking at Jack more as a puzzle to solve than just sitting back and accepting things she could not completely explain.

And there were times when she would almost stop and questioning herself for possibly being fooled. But then he would be so kind to her. Leave her little text messages when she knows he isn't fully comfortable with French. The ice flower at the dance. It made her want to see him all the more, but she still couldn't bring herself to beleive.

Until now.

It's faint. it's...not quite there, but after that conversation with Castiel, Midii is starting to understand not only belief as a concept, but her own beliefs as well. Living on the Turtle is exposing her to all these things and she genuinely can't help but accept them. Especially the good things. Because she's never had such good things in her life, and part of her still doesn't think she deserves them...and yet, here Jack is. His voice. And she's more proud of herself for being able to hear him than happy to hear him for the moment, which is why it's still ONLY voice, but it is a huge step in the right direction.

Basically, Jack's existance is helping her come to terms with a lot of things she grew up thinking, and helping her gradually change that way of thinking to make her more suited and adaptable to life on a magic Turtle. With a little help, of course.


ZATANNA ▶ JACK (How much time do you have?)

These two. THESE. TWO.

I'm not even sure there are accurate words to describe what they have. To do that, I basically have to--once again--go all the way back to their first meeting. Not even the d_m one, though that was precious in and of itself, but the one where she found him buried under a pile of kids, and then they went sledding on an snow recliner all the way into the broken toy shop, where she fixed the little figurine for him and he "bought" it as a keepsake.

I think that, right there, was the most amazing foreshadowing as to what they would have. Because, for the longest time, she saw him as just a big kid. Kind of like a little brother, if only to justify in her mind why she felt so close to this strange boy. He had her sense of humor. he had her desire to cause "trouble", but the fun kind. He understood magic and nature and some things possibly even better than she did, even though he had yet to fully understand his past. And there was that lingering hints of sadness as well, so devastating that she internally decided she wanted to keep him from being sad as much as possible.

The Snow Day thing was a huge turning point, honestly. Because she was actually getting into a fight with Kyle, her precious Big Brother, over him. Granted, a part of it had to do with the fact that this was Magic Kyle was talking about, and she has this inherent need to defend her family's craft, but there's no denying that Jack's "mistake" also played a huge part as to why she was so defensive. She really did believe that his intentions were the most important part of the argument, and that because he didn't know and meant well, Kyle should have calmed down (of course, she sort of knows better now, but we're talking way back when) and was completely unjustified in attacking her friend. And I had to stop and think about it, but you know what? if the same thing happened now...she would still defend Jack. Not so much with all the bias and one-sidedness, but she honestly can't help it when it comes to him.

Because since then, time passed. Things changed, and so did they. They became closer. The best of friends. He's easily her favorite Turtle-met person, and she wouldn't hesitate in the least to call him her Best Friend. She's as comfortable around him as she is with Kyle or Dick, and she has so much familiar/platonic love for him. She trusts him. She knows he trusts her, and wants to prove herself worthy of that trust. Because she knows he's told her things that few, if any, other people know. And she still screws up sometimes (like the swimming thing), but even with things like that, they somehow come out with their friendship intact. She knows he has a crush on her. She knew he had one, but now she knows the crush never went away and it was awkward for like five minutes, but you know what? They came out of that too.

The thing with Korra...I don't even know where to begin. At first, she thought it was cute that Korra had a crush on him, not knowing about Mako, and thought it would be good if Jack liked her back because then her bff could finally be happy. Then everything hit the fan. She mistakenly kept her and Jack's history from Korra, and there were a LOT of miscommunications, and the girls ended up fighting. Pretty badly. Over a guy that neither of them were dating, but both feel very strongly towards. And, in actuality, it was moreso Korra being jealous over something Zatanna tried to explain wasn't a Thing (except it's sort of a Thing just not a Thing-Thing) and then Zatanna getting pissed at Korra being pissed, and completely escalated from there. They have very strong personalities, and it showed. So...yeah...technically not his fault, but GDI Jack.

(It's also almost cringe-worthy to know that if Korra learned more about Things Happening, then the argument would just erupt all over again and then they may end up destroying half the Turtle >.>)

And now this dork is just randomly showing up at her apartment and you know what? She just goes with it. And they have tea traditions together and crack jokes and play flirt constantly and all is right with the Turtle world. Until she disappeared, and you have no idea how heartbreaking that scene where she phased out right in his arms was to write because holy jeebus I'd never seen Jack react so angrily to something. But then he got to make up for it by "saving" her with the paints, and I'm loving that thread even more because it's just so THEM.

Honestly? Deep down, she does harbor a small crush on him. She'd date him in a heartbeat (or lack of one lolz) if she wasn't so completely infatuated with Dick, which I don't think either of them realize just yet. It's a thing, but it can't be a Thing and I think they'd honestly rather NOT acknowledge that it's a Thing. Except now, with the temporary memory loss, it's going to be a bit more apparent and OH MAYBE THEY SHOULD TALK ABOUT THAT AT SOME POINT and by talk I mean go watch another movie and ignore feelings. Good plan? Y/Y?

So, in short?

She loves him. He's her best friend. And she's totally stealing him back to Earth-16 if/when they ever find a way to get home.
