She thought she remembered him saying he was working late tonight, so she swung painfully to his office, letting herself in through the lobby rather than the window. She’d made it a few feet into the lobby when a familiar face swam in front of her vision. Gwen, her sluggish mind replied, and Cindy tried for a smile. She’d spun herself out of her Silk uniform shortly after escaping the fight, but she knew she still looked rough. She’d bled through her shirt sleeve already, and she could feel a wetness on her stomach that probably meant her sleeve wasn’t the only part of her that was bloody. “Oh, hey Gwen,” she slurred. “I’m just looking for... uh, for Peter. Or a seat, maybe. Yeah, I think I need a seat.” Her descent to the ground wasn’t exactly graceful, but she didn’t think Gwen would hold it against her!

For a long time Dinah saw vulnerability as a sign of weakness--but she has had her heart broken before. She nearly married a GCPD detective named Craig Windrow, but she discovered that he had ties to the mob and the relationship fell apart. She and Ollie also broke each other’s hearts repeatedly, even though they loved each other and it was arguably the healthiest relationship she’s been in. 

Alex may not always feel like he fits at the mansion, but it’s always going to be the place where he was reunited with his brother after being separated for the most formative years of their lives. It wasn’t a moment filled with tears and grand gestures of affection, but even having Scott in front of him, pressing something warm into his hands and telling him that he was safe felt momentous, and like something he could believe in for the first time in a long time. 

America is driven largely by the desire to live up to the legacy her mothers left behind. They died heroes so that she wouldn’t have to know danger, and she rejected the safety they offered her because other people deserved that safety more. She struggles with it from time to time --- it’s impossible not to occasionally doubt the decision to leave everyone she ever knew behind as a child --- but in the end, she doesn’t regret what she did.

Not necessarily a positive opprotunity, but she took a hard pass on the chance to get to know her biological father. She doesn’t regret it in the slightest.
