[ Chloe laughs again, a little stronger this time even if it’s mixed with her own attempts to not cry. It feels good to joke, after such an intense conversation, and she knows they might have to go back to it shortly, but she just takes the moment to appreciate the ridiculousness of this debate.
But when she starts talking about her being ridiculous, Chloe shakes her head, knowing she has every right to cry, every right to be upset and angry, and wanting her to be able to own that for just a moment. Maybe Max had her own selfish reasons behind some of the ways she’d used her powers at home, but Chloe’s watched her put Chloe first so many times, she just wants her to be able to do the same for herself; to put her feelings as the most important and to not push them away.
She wipes her tears again, shaking her head when she shouts about her new Star Wars title and trying to give quiet shushes of comfort even if they get strained with her own emotion. ]
Fuck that. You’re way to badass. You’re too kind, too selfless, too – too… Amazing. There’s no fucking way I’m going to let the best person I know in any messed up world compare herself to some bullshit alien who was relegated to a damn background character because of fan backlash.
