The JLA Watchtower was, in M'gann's opinion, one of the best places in the universe to have a holiday party. It was spacious, had a really big table for laying out a billion kids of food, and you just couldn't argue with a view of Earth from space.
She'd arrived early toting choco cheesecake and spent the first bit of the party waiting for guests to trickle in from the teleporters, peering out every window at all the stars like a kid who'd never seen them before in her life. By the time she drifted back to the hub of the party it was buzzing with new arrivals, many of whom she recognized and greeted with a smile.
One of them, however, didn't quite look as smiley as he should have...
She dropped down on a chair next to Jaime's leaning over to catch his downcast gaze with her own.
"Hey you. Why the long face? Your drink isn't that bad is it?"

"Don't worry about it. I'll survive."

She could LOOK like Traci too, actually, but she didn't really think Jaime would want her to go THAT far...

"He doesn't strike me as the festive type, at least."

There was truly no explanation for why she liked it so much but truthfully she could eat a whole jar of it with a fork over an afternoon if she wasn't watching herself.
It certainly made an odd contrast on her paper plate next to a slice of choco cheesecake...

"Ooh, this is really good cake. Did you make it?"
