#no one in this fandom understands cissie king jones like I do

I don't understand the idea of Cissie being skinny. Cissie is the only member of YJ other than Tim without any powers and she is an Olympic level athlete with a gold in archery. She should absolutely be ripped.

I don't like that she's Arrowette again currently but this is 100% the accurate body type for her:

Chapter Seven: The Family Video (Laney's POV)

Eddie returned with popcorn, candy, pretzels, chips, soda, and hotdogs. “Oh my god, Eddie… We’re not putting him down. We’re christening the TV,” Rose laughed. I didn’t understand the joke, but I was amused by the time and energy they put into making me happy. 

“I wanted to give him the whole movie experience. Lane, wait—. Do you know any movie titles off the top of your head?” Eddie asked. “Anything that you’d like to see?” 

I scratched my head. “Oh, Eddie… I don’t know anything about movies at all,” I replied. 

“Lane, he’s gonna bring out the bin,” Rose whispered. 

“What’s the bin?” I questioned. 

“I’m so glad you asked! Stay here,” Eddie smiled. I sat on the couch with Rose while he went to his room. Eddie’s room was the thing of fairytales. Between his plants, movie posters, and weird animatronic creations strewn about his room, his room was a forest for the peculiar. I liked sitting in his room and drawing the strange things that came to mind. Rose brushed a stray eyelash from my cheek with her finger. I delighted in the intimacy of her gesture. “One sec!” 

“Okay!” Rose and I answered at the same time. Rose chuckled and punched my shoulder. 

Eddie dragged a storage bin into the living room. “Come on. Come look,” Eddie replied. I walked toward the bin and looked at Eddie’s VHS tapes and DVDs. 

“They made a movie for To Kill A Mockingbird?” I questioned. 

Eddie smiled at me. “Do you want to watch that first?” Eddie asked. 

I shook my head as I dug through his movies. There were so many. I didn’t know where to start. “What is Scream?” I questioned. 

Rose and Eddie nodded. “You hafta watch Scream,” Eddie replied. I nodded. 

“Yeah, okay. Let’s do it,” I smiled. My phone rang. “Oh, hold on. It’s my father.” They nodded, and I stepped away to answer the call privately. 

“Hi, Father. How are you?” I asked. 

“I’m well. How are your classes?” Father asked. 

“Oh! They’re amazing. I went to a Neurology symposium last week and sent you a copy of my notes with my letter… I’m so happy here, Father,” I replied. 

“Are your roommates treating you well?” Father questioned. 

“Oh, they’re wonderful people. Eddie builds such strange and beautiful things in his room… Rose and I plan to start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes together next weekend,” I answered, “I’m about to watch a movie with them.”

“Well, I hope you have a lovely time. It sounds like this has been an enriching experience for you so far,” Father replied. 

“It has. I love you, Father. I hope we can talk again soon,” I smiled. 

“Of course. I have two surgeries this morning, so I can’t call you back today… But I’ll text you my schedule later. I love you too,” Father replied, “Goodbye, Laney.”

“Goodbye, Father,” I answered before hanging up. I returned to the living room and sat on the couch while Rose and Eddie shut the curtains and made popcorn. 

“Was that your dad?” Eddie asked. I nodded and smiled at him. “How’s Dr. Hausler doing?” 

“He has two surgeries this morning, so he’s staying busy,” I answered. 

“Is your dad divorced? I never hear you talk about your mom,” Rose replied. I didn’t mind her asking because I knew about her mom. She told me one night when Eddie was out. 

“I don’t know anything about my mother. We never talked about her when I was young. I have the faintest picture of a woman in my mind, but Father says—. I used to draw a couple. Blue eyes, dark hair, warm smiles. I thought my mother left my father for this man, but Father says the people I remember were a patient and her husband,” I explained, “I don’t know anything about my mother… I’m afraid I can’t tell you if she’s alive or dead.” 

Rose and Eddie fell silent, and Rose hugged herself. “It’s okay… I had a great childhood,” I reassured. 

“You draw a lot, but we never see your work,” Eddie replied. He wanted to lighten the mood, and I was grateful. “Is it personal?”

“Oh, no… I just—. No one’s ever asked. My sketchbook’s in my bedroom… Would you like to see it?” I asked. They nodded. I went to my room and grabbed the leather sketchbook my father gave me for the trip to Metropolis. I brought it to the living room, and Eddie and Rose sat beside me, patiently waiting for me to reveal my drawings. I’d never had friends to share my drawings with, but I was eager to see what they thought. I flipped my book open, and it landed on a picture of the woman. 

“That’s the news reporter for The Daily Planet,” Eddie replied. I squinted at him. “You’ve seen her before?” 

“I must have… What’s the woman’s name?” I asked. 

“Lois Lane. Your dad did brain surgery on Lois Lane?” Rose questioned. I shook my head. The name seemed familiar. 

“I drew my home, too,” I whispered. The popcorn popped in the background, distracting both of us for a moment. “This is the dock in front of my house.” 

“Laney, this is beautiful,” Rose whispered. 

“You lived on a lake?” Eddie asked. 

“Uh-huh… We took a boat across in the morning, but I could swim the length of the lake in the summertime, but the garden was out back,” I explained. Lois Lane’s name plastered itself in my head as Eddie grabbed the popcorn from the microwave. Rose put the movie in the DVD player, and Eddie gave me the popcorn bowl and ran to his room. He returned with a video camera, and Rose shook her head. 

“Eddie, not the camera—.” 

“It’s his first movie. We can show the video to his dad on family week,” Eddie interrupted. I laughed and covered my face. Rose and Eddie playfully grabbed my arms to get me to look into the camera. “Come on. Smile for the camera, Laney.” 

I grinned nice and big for him, and Eddie turned the camera toward the three of us. “We’re about to watch Scream with Lane. It’s his first movie, so we’re all a little excited. Should we press play?” Eddie questioned. Rose waved with the remote in hand. I nodded. Rose turned the TV on, and the DVD menu had four options. Rose pressed play.

“Rose! I had no idea she would die when I said she reminded me of you. I’m so sorry,” I apologized. Rose laughed into my shoulder. 

“No, it’s okay. Tatum was hot, so it makes up for it,” Rose chuckled, “RIP to an icon.” 

Eddie got up to make more snacks while I watched the movie. Rose took the camera and pointed it at Eddie. “Edward Michael Bloomberg—.” “Nope. My middle name’s not Michael,” Eddie replied.

“Rudolph?” Rose asked.

“Wha—? No! It’s Allan,” Eddie answered indignantly. 

“Allan? Are you serious?” Rose chuckled. I giggled.

“And what are your middle names? Rose Wilson and Lane Hausler,” Eddie scoffed. 

“Don’t have one… And legally, it’s Rose Worth. Not Wilson,” Rose replied. 

“Lane’s my middle name,” I answered.

“What’s your first name?” Eddie and Rose questioned. 

“Jonathan… My father’s called me Laney my whole life,” I answered. It was strange. I hadn’t thought about it much. I realized something that day. I wasn’t sure what it was, but I knew it’d change my life forever.
