Look at the Colors! Old School JL in the Sensoriums
Tora had been pining..not for the fjords... well not completely anyway. But she had been pining for the good old days. he days of The Global Guardians and Justice League International. Things seemed so much happier then, so much more vibrant and full of life. Now things just seemed bleak and everyone was sad or tense.
Where were the days where Booster and Beetle used to hide J'onn's cookies? What happened to those times when Guy could be the sweetest man known to anyone, ever? Or even the days where they fought together as a team for what they knew in their hearts to be good and right?
Tora missed those times sorely, too much darkness and death had taken hold over them all, and for once she refused to let it damped her spirits. That was what had lead her here, to the Sensoriums, to this recreation of the League headquarters. It looked exactly as it had so many years before...even the colors had a sort of nostalgic quality to them.
In another moment the place bustled with the comings and goings of holographic versions of the members. Scott Free offered her a wide grin and wave as he wriggled in the latest contraption designed to be inescapable. Kimyo Hoshi was looking sternly at someone asking if she could change a light bulb on the second floor...apparently she did not find that funny at all. And Nathaniel Adam was sitting by himself sipping tea, his metallic skin glinting somewhat in the light of the lamp on the table beside him.
It wasn't really her past, but it made her feel a bit more at ease, especially seeing a certain emerald haired woman striding toward her arms open for a hug. "Bea!" Tora exclaimed and wrapped arms around her friend and nearly sister.
"Tora, you're late. I was going to have to fire up the Jacuzzi all by myself and you know how I hate to have cold champagne and hot bubbling water all to myself." Bea wagged an admonishing finger at her and looped an arm around her shoulder to guide the demigoddess to the hot tub. "Oh! Bea.... "Tora's hand went to cover her mouth in a moment of worry. "I don't have a swimming suit."
"Tora,honey...as if that's going to be a problem?" Fire threw her head back and laughed loudly, yes this place might not be real, but it was still accurate.

He watched them, leaning against a wall, thinking about better times. They hadn't been great times, and he had as many bad and humiliating memories from the JLI as good ones, but Tora had been there and happy, and that was worth remembering.
Finally, he sauntered forward."Don't let me stop whatever's going on here," he said, grinning.

The demigoddess smirked and even blushed a bit with a pleasure at seeing her main squeeze. "Oh, Guy." He was really incorrigible, but she loved him none the less. "You will join us, wont you?"
"Tora!" Bea practically choked on her sip of champagne and paused handing a glass to the white haired woman as well.
"Well.." Tora rubbed at the back of her neck and took the glass offered to her. "I thought he could...I mean it isn't as though you are modest about things..and well..he knows me well enough..." She looked to Guy to see what he thought of it all.

Guy put his hand on her cheek and gave her a more serious look. "Everything okay, Tora?" he asked. He understood wanting to live in the (relatively) good times, but it was also a lie. Not facing reality. Not really a healthy thing to do.

With Gardner's comment the room seemed to dim slightly, as if reflecting the hit to her own spirit Tora had taken. "Batman said the same thing. I'm not trying to hide, Guy. Honestly I'm not. I just....well I missed people. Is it wrong to want to see some of them again? I know it's not real, I'm not stupid. But with all we've lost can you say you don't want just a few minutes of it back?"
