Grinning from ear to ear, she wondered what else would go on. The more she got to know him, the less terrifying Mercury seemed to become. He was just a kid, pretending to be some sort of merciless creature of the night. [color=0E32CF][b]”Damn girl, gonna give a guy a heart attack… So where is New york? You got work there or something?“[/b][/color] Eddie shook her head. [color=99ccff]"I'm a university student right now, doing research in order to get my masters and then doctorate in physics. New York is just a major city, and any flight out of this hell hole is good to me."[/color] Leading the way, Eddie quickly taught Mercury the basics on going through security. Going through, she was pulled aside, and given a full body scan. She was used to it, smiling at Mercury as she was given a pat down by one of the TSA agents, scanned several more times, and then sent on her way. [color=99ccff]"Security likes me,"[/color] Eddie joked, meeting Mercury as he was eating some candy once more, people watching. [color=0E32CF][b]”Airports are fun… I like people watching. I wonder what childhood is like,“[/b][/color] Mercury added. Eddie paused. What [i]was[/i] childhood like? She had been homeschooled, her parents hiding her from the world because she was different. Her sister wasn't born until Eddie was nine. She hadn't had childhood friends. [color=99ccff]"I wouldn't know,"[/color] Eddie smiled bitterly. [color=99ccff]"My parents bought the same parenting guide that the King and Queen in Disney's Frozen did, I guess. The entire "hide your freaky daughter from the world" thing."[/color] Her eyes drooped a bit, and she couldn't wait for boarding to begin. By the clocks on the walls, it should start in just under fifteen minutes. If she was lucky, she'd be able to sleep on the plane... without anything terrible happening.
