Leah & Andy

Of tape and punching bags



It wasn’t quite curfew yet. Andy had been pacing for a bit. Unable to sleep. Zari hadn’t moved into her room yet and even with her pillow she didn’t trust herself. It was like the old days. When she would stick needles in her hand to keep herself awake. Away from nightmares. But those nightmares had stopped because of the pillow. Now it was just the fear of sleepwalking.

She gave up and went to the gym. She had some time before curfew and she needed to get some energy out. Her whole body felt electric, which knowing her it probably was.

Leah was used to staying up late. She often found she didn’t really need as much sleep as other people. Why, she didn’t really think about it. But it mostly stemmed from how much she just didn’t trust her surroundings to be safe. As usual, she was abusing the almighty shit out of a punching bag laced with adamantium fibers, so it wouldn’t break and tear under the strain of those with super strength.

The dull rhythm of her fists rang across the empty gym, and it was easy to hear her before even walking in.

Andy smiled a little as she entered the room. Unsurprised that Leah was there. She didn’t want to freak her out and considered how to warn Leah that she was there. Andy reached over and flicked one of the light switches off. Leaving it off for a moment before turning it back on.

"Leah, it’s me.” She shouted. Then moved over to the less impossible to break punching bags. Andy was a well trained fighter with enhanced reflexes, she didn’t have super strength.

”…Hey. You can’t sleep either?” She asked.

"No.” Andy laughed. "I, uh, am afraid to sleepwalk again.” She confessed.

”You do that? That’s a thing? Just lock your door.”

"I don’t think that’ll work. Last time I woke up in a different building than I fell asleep in.” With a corpse at her feet. She did not say that part out loud. Opening up could only be taken so far.

Leah put a hand out on the bag to steady it. ”Well… That’s probably a mutant thing. Don’t know how to help with that, but there’s probably someone else who’s had it before.”

"You’re a mutant. Though, I assume you’ve never sleepwalked and woken up in a strange place.”

”Yeah… About that. I don’t know what the fuck I am,” Leah admitted. ”Long story short, your girlfriend stabbed me with a sword once, and that’s how I learned there’s this magic box thing stuck to my spine. She broke it and that turned me into something weird, that apparently eats magic. From somewhere. So…”

Andy blinked. "That’s fucking cool. Weird. But cool. I mean I’m the daughter of an immortal vampire who eats souls for fun. So like I don’t have any room to talk on the weirdness scale.” The cat was out of the bag on that since her chat with Dorian. So she was way more comfortable talking about it. "You know that doll I have, the creepy one. That’s actually my mom.”

It wasn’t cool to her.

”So you don’t just keep that thing around to scare people off? How the fuck do you get from that to a person?”

Andy laughed and shook her head. "Not like that. The doll is a prison. She’s a massive war criminal, and immortal. Can’t kill her. So she gets to live in the doll.” She grinned, "Funny story actually. Dorian and Danni’s dads were involved in putting her there. I’m gonna have so much fun showing up at their door stop soon.”

”Why not just throw the doll into the sun or something? I’ve been learning magic, I’m pretty damn sure I could just teleport that thing directly into the sun.”

"Again immortal. It’d only buy time. She’d come back.” Andy shrugged. "Anyway I came here to get some energy out. Wanna spar?”

Leah shrugged. ”Sure. Let’s do that.” She wasn’t going to get knocked the fuck out again, if she had any say in it.

Andy nodded, she pulled her gloves on a little tighter. They were made for her to fight with, and keep from making skin-to-skin contact on accident. She darted forward, throwing the first punch with little warning. The pair of them were both brawlers and had already agreed. There wasn’t the need for anything else.

Leah caught the punch like it was a foam football. She hadn’t moved the rest of her body yet. ”I wasn’t prepared for you to move that fast last time, I saw it coming now.”

She stepped forward and brought her leg up, swinging it outwards in a forward motion for what was basically a mule kick.

Andy dropped, disappeared under the kick. She had a massive grin on her face. She had missed this. She lashed out one of her legs, using a hand for balance and swung it out at Leah’s for a leg sweep. "Speed isn’t my only quality.”

It was like kicking a street lamp. One of Leah’s legs intentionally gave out just in case Andy happened to be made of glass- Not something Leah thought about, more like a knee jerk reaction from fighting people who weren’t as sturdy as her. She teetered back on the other leg and hauled on Andy’s wrist for balance.

Andy pushed up with the hand she had been balancing on. Letting Leah’s weight work against her. Gravity and her own balance pulling her backwards. Andy now standing kicked up aiming for Leah’s chest, pushing Leah into her unbalanced stance.

Leah brought her hands forward and grabbed Andy’s leg to meet the kick. Either she’d go down and take Andy with her, or they’d still stand.

”Rule one of fighting someone with strength like mine head on: Don’t.”

Andy let gravity rule. Her body going rigid but not fighting the fall. "If I wanted to hurt you, I’d take the gloves off. This is just fun.” She now stood on Leah. She didn’t stay long, tucking into a roll. "You would have loved the Drummonds. The gym. The ring.” Andy’s smile fell a little becoming sad.

Leah rolled backwards, legs going overhead, and pushed herself back up. ”What, a place full of mutants? Ones that can take a punch?” She asked, dropping into a stance that was absolutely not a boxing one.

"Yeah, a whole group of us. It was home. Before.” Andy shifted. Not to match stances, she didn’t know the stance Leah was using. "Before it burned down.” She said and moved again. Andy was looking for the gaps in Leah’s stance. The weaknesses that every fighter had. Even Andy had them. She hadn’t fought in months. Not like the old days.

It was aggressive, she was bent low and had her legs spread further than shoulders apart. Like a snake daring someone to step closer. ”Must’ve been nice having that. How’d that work out? Sounds hard to run a place like that for mutants.”

"It was illegal.” She explained. "Well no law but the people. They were the ones who burned it.” Andy was stepping lightly around Leah. "They had a good cover. Day time it was a normal gym for anyone. Night time, in the basement is where the real fights were.” There. She moved, almost like the lightning that lived in her. Andy’s powers don’t include speed, except for a preternatural response to danger. She was not a spider-person. But Andy had trained for two years in the gym she was talking about. Fought hundreds of fights with as many different power sets. In those fights she never used her lightning because she had always been afraid of stopping someone’s heart again. She wasn’t worried about that here, but she still didn’t use it. Why would she? That would break the spirit of the spar. Skill vs. skill. It hadn’t been laid out, but it was right. The punch she drove in at Leah’s face, with her right fist. Her left fist was only a few seconds behind going for Leah’s gut.

Leah moved forward, in a wide lunge. Her back foot quickly became her front, and she swung her left arm inwards to swipe at Andy with her elbow. Her right hand went up to block the punch aimed at her face, and she just took the one to her stomach. Being the aggressor here was only going to result in Leah getting sideswiped, and she had a suspicion that Andy’s extreme reflexes weren’t going to stack up well if she was forced to commit.

Leah was right. Andy was in motion and couldn’t change it. The elbow dove into her, but her gut punch landed. If she was in a real fight she’d shock Leah at this point. She probably still could. Leah was a tough cookie, and their first fight had been a fluke. Andy knew that. But this wasn’t a fight to knock her out. This was a fight to burn energy. Andy wanted to draw it out. Not end it immediately. Before Leah’s elbow had even fully moved from Andy, she was roundhouse kicking Leah. Her movement from the elbow to the gut flowing, pushing her torso down. She used that movement to add to the force of her kick - at Leah’s head.

Damn, this bitch could punch.

Leah ate that like a damn Christmas dinner. She turned into the kick and tilted her head down. Mostly so Andy would still have two legs after this, but also because she didn’t want Andy to keep the momentum. Her back leg that she’d pushed forward with swept upwards, and Leah went up. It was like an uppercut, only with her knee.

The movement between two well trained fighters can look choreographed. This was one such fight. Andy had only just gained her balance. If it weren’t for her reflexes she would have taken the brunt of the knee to the chin. It was a graze. One that hurt like hell. Andy flipped backwards, hands briefly touching the mat before landing on her feet. Her smile was back.

"Almost cracked some teeth. Next time I’ll wear full gear.” Andy had to wear Leah down. Slow her down. Her punches would never hurt Leah enough to make her tap out. Not unless she laid her out like last time again. Again, that wasn’t what she wanted either.

Andy moved again. This time taking to the air in a jump. The distance, and the fact she had come from a full stop made the flying knee telegraphed. Andy was ready for the response though. Leah’s response would tell her what she needed to do next.

There’s no way she expected that to work, right?

Leah backpedals, so she’d hit the ground before hitting her target. Her hands went up and she got ready for whatever the point of this was. ”Is that it? I’d see that coming from a mile away.”

"Always,” Andy flowed like water, wrapping herself around Leah’s head for a headlock with her legs. However, she forgot one very important aspect about Leah. Her hair. It was basically monofilament. The pain didn’t hit right away. Once it did Andy let go. Blood seeped through the shreds of her pants.

”ShitshithshitshitFUCK-” Leah dropped with her, so there’d be less damage. Leah immediately stopped and backed up. Blood and tattered shreds of fabric slicked down her shoulders. ”Don’t fucking move- Fuck- Sit still.”

Usually, there wasn’t any sort of risk that hair would get pulled and stuck in the wounds, but they weren’t just scrapes. It was like getting a huge abrasion that could expose bone. Andy got lucky, she didn’t just fuck herself over that badly.

"Skin...” Andy gasped. "Don’t touch. She had been in a lot of pain in her life. This probably didn’t take the cake, but it was certainly trying. "Eat you.” She whimpered out.

”You’ll be fine, just don’t move…” Leah was about to try using runes for this, but had an idea. That thing inside her, she and Vicky came to the conclusion there was a lot of energy in there. Magic energy, but magic regardless.

”...Give me your hand. Trust me.” She grabbed Andy’s hand and pulled the glove off quickly. ”Trust me.”

Andy hated this idea. But the blood loss was going to get to her. She didn’t think she had cut any major arteries. There was so much blood. It was hard to tell. Her fingers shook, cold. She nodded. Letting Leah touch her.

Leah grabbed her hand and gripped it. Andy didn’t just get the energy of an ordinary human person, but the energy of something magical. Something born out of a place far, far from Earth. And there was a lot of it. Unlike anything usually seen among humanity.

And it made Leah’s bones feel as if she were on fire. She grit her teeth and shut her eyes. The pain felt familiar. Like she’d felt when Zari had stabbed her.

Her skin started to turn from warm brown to gray.

Life. Delicious. Andy drank. She pulled. It seemed endless. Like back on Genosha. There hadn’t been the unending hunger then like there was now. And she was hungry. Yes, she had had meals with Ardere and the unknown Asgaradian. She hadn’t felt so good though. Leah was like drinking from a cool hose on a hot summer day, a hint of minty flavor for some reason.

God, she wanted to keep drinking and drinking until she was full. Andy saw Leah. Her shape enlarged. Her hand was already so much larger than Andy’s. She blinked. Then yanked her hand back. Her wounds had healed. The bleeding stopped.

The gym was still a mess under her, and the pants would be tossed. Preferably burned.

Leah was heaving with each breath. Her head swam. The floor- It wasn’t that far away a second ago. Moments passed, and by the time Andy was in better condition, fog was starting to fill the air. She looked down at her hands. They were like basalt, not even close to human skin.

”Andy?” She even sounded different. Heavier. More.

"I’m good. You?” Andy panted out. Her heart was still racing. She closed her eyes. "Uh, Leah. Thank you. I...Uh, don’t take this the wrong way, but you taste really good. I almost...I could feel control slipping. But, thank you.” Andy opened her eyes and sat up, scooting a bit away from the blood on the gym mat. She’d clean that up before going to bed.

”I’m… Gonna pretend you didn’t say that.” Leah stood upright, and she was almost seven feet tall now. Her hands were trembling from a mix of pain and fatigue. She looked like someone had just petrified her, or turned her into a statue. And her eyes had turned from brown to orange. The shirt she was wearing got tighter, her sweatpants barely reaching halfway down her calves. Everything stung.

”...What the fuck.”

Andy stood up. Her own body was shaking. Her pants were starting to dry where the blood had soaked through them. She looked up at Leah, taking in all of her changes. "Do you...uh, wanna talk about that?” She gestured to all of Leah. "And yeah. I think I’d appreciate it if you didn’t tell anyone I said that.”

”Andy, I don’t even know what this is,” She rasped. Vapor white as bone trailed out of her lungs. ”The last time this happened, it was in a computer simulation before Usagi got dealt with… I didn’t think this would happen for real.”

"Right. Uh, well. Want me to like take a picture and we can research it? Not that I know where to begin. I’m literally a street rat. I got nothing.”

”I- I mean… Sure? I guess? Victoria and I figured this had something to do with magic. I thought you’d just pull the energy out of that thing- Fuck, I didn’t see this coming.”

Andy grabbed her backpack and pulled out her phone, quickly snapping a photo and then sent it to Leah. "If it’s magic...Maybe that witch from the first day. Agatha?” She suggested.

She took in a deep, deep breath, and let it out. Everything felt wrong. ”She- Yeah. She gave me those runes, Vick said I should come with her to see Agatha. When we leave for the contest.” Her phone felt tiny.

She looked at the picture. It was blurred just ever so slightly, like some pixels just got tossed away here and there. ”That’s not me. Holy fuck. What did he do to me?”

"Hey. We can figure this out. Okay. I’ll help. I don’t know how. But I can try.” She came over to stand near Leah. Her head craned back. "I’d hug you, but I don’t wanna risk it. Even if right now I’m the fullest I’ve been in...ages.” With her gloved hand she reached out to the highest point on Leah’s arm that she could reach and gave her a squeeze. "Trust me when I say we aren’t what we can do. I don’t know who he is. Or anything. But you’re my friend. Right? And that is who you are, what you do, not what you look like. If you look like this, or like before. I don’t care. I’m sure no one else will either.” Andy considered mentioning Mads’ current appearance. No one she knew was giving her shit, but she was struggling with it. "If this sticks...maybe chat with Mads. She’ll understand.”

”I don’t-” Think first, dumbass. ”I don’t know much about demons or where they come from, but I really don’t think that’s the same. Is it? I’m- I don’t know what I am, I thought forever I was just a mutant, then this started happening. Yeah… I’ll talk to her, maybe. I don’t know how long this is going to last, it wasn’t even like this last time.”

"I meant more the transformation thing. She also studied under Agatha a lot right? She might have some leads. I can...” She paused. "I can ask my mom. She’s ancient. She might have an idea.” God she did not want to ask her mom, but for Leah she would.

”What, that doll thing? What would it know?”

"Untold secrets.” She shrugged. "She’s literally as old as humankind.”

”Whatever the fuck I am, it’s definitely not human. But…” She’d take just about anyone’s expert opinion, honestly. ”Sure. I won’t say no, but I’m not gonna make you do anything for me.”

"Let’s try Agatha first. Deals with mom always come with...caveats.”

”She’s in a whole other state right now. I think Victoria was able to get ahold of her, though…” Leah stared down at her hands, as if they’d suddenly look like hers again. ”I’m not going back to the dorms looking like this. For now, if anyone asks, I healed you with runes instead of this. And then you saw me walk back out. Okay?”

"Of course.” Andy nodded, taking a step back so she didn’t have to crane her neck so much. "I’m gonna clean up here. You go ahead and go.”

”Yeah. I’m-” She looked at the door. ”...Yeah. It’s a draw for now, I’m not convinced I won’t just kill you like this. I’m going. Thanks. Sorry.”

"See ya.” Andy said. She let Leah leave and then started cleaning up the drying blood.

Leah turned and stormed out the back exit, into the late evening. She didn’t stop to look if anyone had followed her until she was well into the trees. And then she hung out there, for the rest of the night. Curfew be damned.

In Avengers Academy: Junior Year 💥 → 15 days ago Forum: Casual Roleplay


There hadn't been much chance to relax. Andy still hadn't told Zari a few things she wanted to talk to her about. And it was obvious she was upset about something. She had asked the night prior if Zari wanted to go on a date the next day, Saturday. With the affirmative Andy had spent a furtive hour setting up a date. She wanted to get out of town, away from the school. Zari had agreed to have her Pegasus fly them somewhere.

There Andy was outside Zari's dorm Saturday morning at 8 am. It would take them time to get to the San Francisco Zoo. She had tickets for them to go there and the Video Game Museum as well as a lunch reservation for Fog Harbor. It had been some luck that a restaurant that she remembered from her time living in San Francisco was still open. She hadn't been to San Francisco in so long. Shaking that thought from her head she knocked on the door and waited for Zari to respond.

Before Andy had knocked on the door, Zari had been in a bit of an argument with Mr. Eyeball. Since apparently the robot did not want to get left behind. When the knock came, Zari very briefly threatened Mr. Eyeball with being temporarily dismantled, before she went to open the door. "Andy let's gooooooo! This is going to be so much fun I can't wait!" Zari said as she stepped out of the room and shut the door behind her.

Andy grinned at Zari's excitement and let Zari lead them out of the building. There was no point in trying to go first. Zari would have been too happy to slow down enough for Andy to try to lead. "So, first stop, we go to San Francisco. I got us tickets to go to the Zoo." She told her. Andy hoped that was something that would interest Zari.

"Oooooooh the zoo! that sounds like so much fun!" Zari said as she led Andy outside and pulled out her horn to summon up her pegasus. "We can get there pretty quickly with Mr. Sparkles anyway, so let's goooooo!" with those last words she blew into her horn, summoning up the pegasus, and climbing on board. "Come on Andy."

Andy climbed up behind Zari on the Pegasus. She hadn't ridden it that long of a distance yet. Andy had ridden the Pegasus for a few minutes during battle, but not for what would probably be a few hours. A flight on a plane from Los Angeles to San Francisco took two and a half. She didn't know how much faster, or slower, the Pegasus would be in comparison. But they had plenty of time so she wasn't worried about it. With the reduced stress of not having to worry about classes, dealing with the Contest didn't seem so daunting. She also had been getting therapy, there had been a lot she needed to unpack. Even though chronologically it had been years that everything had happened over, for her it still hadn't been a full year. She wondered if Zari was doing well with therapy. "Do you know how long it would take to fly there?" She asked. "It's about 340 miles to where we are going."

"Nooooooo idea, but we'll find out the more fun way," she responded with a giggle, as she led the pegasus to go racing forward before taking off into the sky.

Andy laughed too. Zari was right. It would be more fun this way. The pair of them chatted as they flew to San Francisco. Talking about whatever they wanted to. Eventually, the city would come into view—a spec of skyscrapers on the tip of a peninsula. A long strip of green marked Golden Gate Park. The zoo was close to there. The park would be a good landing place. Andy pointed at a large field. The field was often used by Ultimate Frisbee or other outdoor sport enthusiasts. At least that was what it had been used by when Andy had lived in San Francisco. Her memories of living there had been hazy and distant, but some old ones relating to her first foster family, the longest one she had lived with, surfaced as she looked around. Something else to talk to Dr. Whitehall about. Andy had felt abandoned then. She was afraid of connections because of that. Had been for so long and it had felt like every time she made them those connections left her or died (often in horrifying ways). That was why she clung to Zari. She would never abandon Zari. Zari hadn't left her behind. Yes, definitely needed to talk to Whitehall about that.

"The zoo is this way." She indicated toward the ocean and south. Then started leading the way. The tickets were saved on her phone and she scanned them, the pair getting through security with surprising ease all things considered. Apparently, flashlights that turned into swords didn't get caught by their security. That was fine with Andy. "So, first we have a Carousel or Lemurs." Andy pointed left and then right. "Where do you wanna start?" She asked offering a copy of the map to Zari.

Zari only really had to think for just a moment, with regards to what option she would prefer. Truthfully she hadn't really been to a zoo before, considering back home it probably was something fairly different than what it was here. "LEMURS!!!!" she said happily, before heading off that direction sort of skipping a bit as she went.

Andy laughed and skipped after Zari. Her worries about others drifting away behind her. She didn't mind playing tour guide at the Zoo. She liked it here. Andy was excited to see the wolves back in Bear Country. For now, they headed into Madagasgar Center. Behind that was the African Region. First, though, the lemures. They were in a large enclosure with a lot of places to swing and climb. There was even a big treehouse for them. In total, there were seven types of lemures in the enclosure. All seemed happy and healthy. A couple of them, sitting on the treehouse, were cleaning each other.

"Awwww they're so cute! My mom on a visit here managed to get some old videos of a show she watched growing up. I've never been to a zoo before or really seen a lot of these animals in person back home, but the show made me love lemurs so much oh they are so adorable! Can't remember what it was called though, but one of the characters was definitely a lemur..." Zari said, as she was watching the lemurs.

"Huh. I don't know the show." Andy tilted her head watching the lemurs play. "I think I'd remember a show like that if I had seen it. Sounds amazing. Maybe we can find it online." She smiled watching the lemures, and Zari. "Glad I get to take you then. Zoos are cool. Super important. They keep near extinct animals safe. Sometimes they can reintroduce them into the wild. Andy had read that on the zoos website while booking the tickets.

"What other animals do you wanna see? There's a ton to chose from."

Zari had to stop and think about it for a moment, as she thought about what animals she actually vaguely recalled about. Since her knowledge of animals was pretty limited, "Do they have giraffes?" she asked.

"They do. That way." Andy points farther down the path they were on. "Sometimes they allow people to feed them. But only at certain times."

"Oh I have something to show you." Andy reached into her backpack and pulled out a notebook. Inside was a photograph. An old Polaroid of the two of them. "Dorian and Percy found it. It's from Genosha."

"So now Dorian knows. His dad's are Max and Ben. And Danni's parents are Casper and James."

"Huh, wonder when someone took that picture. Eh, oh well. Not a big secret I told them all back then I was from the future not my fault people don't know that. Oh, I did also briefly tell Percy about the time travel adventures, though think he was a little annoyed that I didn't invite him to come along or something. Honestly, the whole thing doesn't matter to me," she responded with a shrug as she started heading along in the direction of the giraffes. "If people actually listened and paid attention, then people wouldn't get confused about things, just how it goes."

Andy snorted. "Yeah that's very true. No one really believed you at first. I didn't understand, but I trusted you were telling the truth." She shrugged. "Danni and Dorian did invite us to visit their home and therefore we'd meet up with Max and them. So we can surprise them it'll be fun to see how they react to you being here now."

"I mean I'll just tell them I told you so with regards to things. Cause no one listens," she wasn't really too concerned or bothered by the entire situation. If people actually had just listened and believed her in the first place, then there would have been no issues with that sort of thing to begin with.

Andy laughed. That was a major understatement. The two of them chatted and spent the rest of the morning in the Zoo. They had a lot of fun chatting about the animals. Some Zari had never seen before. Andy was sad to see some animals had become more endangered since she had been a kid. After they finished they headed to the Warf for lunch. Andy had a late lunch reservation for them at two p.m.

The restaurant Fog Harbor was on the water with a beautiful view. It was facing into the bay so on a clear day you could see Berkly and Oakland on the other side of the bay. It wasn't a clear day. So instead it seemed closed in with some ships crossing the water and the bridge disappearing into the fog. The food was diverse but heavily focused on seafood. Andy ordered an Ahi Tuna Salad. She didn't care for shellfish, but tuna was delicious.

Zari had no idea what food to order at all. She wasn't exactly sure what half the stuff was, but usually she'd be fine with most anything, so she ordered something at random. "This has been sooooooo much fun," Zari said with a bit of a smile, looking around the restaurant.

"Good I'm glad. We haven't had much time just the two of us, between school and training. I know we went to the mall but that was ages ago and with Mads. Not that I didn't have a total blast. I just wish we had more time for just us. Maybe, now that I don't have a roommate I can convince the staff to put you in my room." That'd be nice, Andy thought.

"What have you been up to? Other than the obvious stuff?" Andy remembered she wanted to tell Zari about the sleepwalking thing. That'd be another plus of having Zari share a room with her. She couldn't hurt Zari and if Andy did get up and wander the halls of the school Zari could stop her.

"Ooooh, that would be fun, like a sleepover or something with it," she said, giggling a bit. Before thinking about the question Andy said, "Oh, nothing really, just been tinkering with my watch a bit, think something might be wrong with it or something."

Andy tilted her head thinking. She didn't know anyway to help Zari fix the watch, but it would be bad if it wasn't working. The watch was how she was able to travel back home. "Any idea what might be wrong with it? What is happening that made you think something was wrong?"

Zari just now realized she hadn't exactly told Andy about what was wrong or going on. At least with how she saw the situation currently. "Oh, uh well... I haven't been able to really contact my parents, like at all. Almost like there is an interference or something when I tried to call them... When I tried to use my watch to reality hop, nothing happened, like at all. Started having issues right after the break..."

"That does not sound good." To Andy going back to Zari's home world, wasn't that important. However, for Zari it was very important. She frowned. "What sort of interference? Is it the watch itself or an outside thing?"

"Nooooooo idea, haven't figured that part out yet."

"Ah, I wouldn't even know how to test that." Andy sighed and shrugged. Soon their food was brought and it was delicious. Very high-quality food. It didn't really fill Andy up. She mostly ate for the taste these days.

"I should tell you. I don't think it is connected. If it was that would mean someone found out and was mad at me and was taking it out on you. But knowing your world that's unlikely." She shrugged. "So the last night we were there I sleepwalked. I've never done that before. But I woke up and I had touched someone. They were dead at my feet. I don't know who it was. I do know I was full. That's really hard." Andy had come to realize she didn't feel remorse about the death. She was just concerned she'd do it at the school and get in trouble.

"Well you clearly didn't mean it, it was an accident, so honestly shouldn't be the end of the world. We literally not that long ago had talked about how Vicki shouldn't worry about having accidentally killed you in the game and not knowing about you clearly not dying. So it shouldn't matter too much if you ask me. Accidents happen, that sort of thing."

"Oh yeah. I'm not that worried about that part of it. I'm just concerned that if I do that at the school. They'll probably actually expel me for killing a student in that case. Part of why I think it'd be good for you to be in the room with me. If I do that again you can stop me. You're the only person I know who is basically immune to my touch."

"If you're that concerned about it sort of, don't see how they'd have a problem with it and moving into your room."

"Thank you." Andy smiled. The rest of lunch was more of them just chatting about random stuff and enjoying their meal. After Andy paid for it she had Zari fly them with her Pegasus again. Across the bay, they landed in front of the Museum of Video Games. Andy led the way and showed her reservation.

The docent led them to a terminal and explained the setup. They would have two hours. The computer had an emulator for any game system you could imagine. Andy opened the one for the Switch and opened "Breath of the Wild." She had wanted Zari to see the game she had been trapped in for context. She didn't plan on playing only that, since it wasn't great for two players.

"Sooo...What are we exactly trying to do?" Zari asked as the game got pulled up. Despite being majorly into tech of various sorts. Her time with actual video games were a bit non-existent. So she didn't actually really know what she'd be doing with the game or anything.

"Alright, there are a few things to do." Andy grinned and started explaining the game. She taught Zari how the controls worked. She explained the story as best as she could. "I don't know all the Zelda games super well, but I played this one. I didn't finish it though."

"Uh, okay then? Seems simple enough, probably. Though mentally have to stop brain from trying to talk to the computer and console sort of thing," she said with a shrug as she started sort of just pushing buttons to try to get Link to wander around and do something productive in the game.

Andy laughed. "Yeah, that would be cheating. We can do a multiplayer game whenever you wanna switch. I'd appreciate you not talking to the game though." This moment. It was happiness. Andy had for years been afraid of people. Afraid of making friends. Afraid of so much. She had let herself become close with the Drummonds and their death had almost broken her. But Zari had saved her. "Thank you. For being my friend and my girlfriend and bringing me with you." She took a deep breath. "I love you. I know it's probably ridiculous to say that when we've only really been dating for a few months. But I do. I don't know what would have happened if we hadn't met. I don't want to ever know. Because the world with you in it. That's the world I want."

"I don't trrrrry talking to the games or computers. It just happens!" Zari protested a bit with a giggle, before thinking about the next thing that Andy said. "If you want to get on technicalities we could say we've been dating for 17 years!"

Andy laughed. "Then we've taken this really slow." Andy grinned. "Last time I kissed you without asking. So this time I will. May I kiss you?"

"I mean nothing wrong with going slow anyway," she responded with a shrug, before she thought about what Andy asked her, "I don't see why not."

Andy smiled, waiting. She was glad Zari was thinking about it. She didn't want her to feel pressured. She wanted the honesty of what her emotions were. With the response, she leaned in. Her lips pressed against Zari's. A warm pulse of life passed to her, but Zari had never complained. She felt like it had just rained. It was clean and clear.

Zari kissed back. For a moment it was just the two of them in their little cubicle with the computer playing Breath of the Wild music. Andy let Zari lead. Neither of them had much experience with this. It was awkward. Andy felt herself drawn into the pull of her energy vampirism so she pulled back. Not wanting to risk hurting Zari.

She grinned, her lips glistening and a little puffy. "So, video games? When we get back to the dorms we can explore more."

"Sure, fine with me," Zari responded with a smile.

Andy & Vicky



Andy heard that Vicky was at C.A.G.E. At first she didn’t think anything of it. Then she found out what it stood for and she found herself shaking. She closed her eyes and tried to not think about her own past with Northwood. That place had been a hellscape. They had been power suppressed with crude collars. Getting out of there had been one of the best days of her life. She had gotten free. This place was what she feared most in the world and knowing it was around caused her stomach to cramp.

It took a day, but Andy decided that she was going to talk to Victoria. She’d walk into that hated, horrible place and tell Victoria that her actions would not be held against her. Andy actually appreciated it. So she made her way there and asked to have a visit with Victoria.

“You’re popular, miss van Dyne. You have another visitor.” One of the nurses said as she delivered the message to her room. Victoria chuckled in response. “Clearly you don’t know me very well. I wasn’t expecting anyone, who dropped by?”

On her way to the visiting lounge, Victoria was truly baffled. Out of everyone on the list… Andy Drummond wasn’t even on the list! Edward Arca was on the list, perhaps coming to apologize or gloat! Vicky’s head was all over the place as she neared the room. Did she change her mind about the events in the Framework? She wasn’t feeling like Victoria needed more assurances, was she?

Shaking her head, she willed herself to focus. No sense worrying about it when the answer to the questions was sitting a few paces away. She turned the corner and stepped into the lounge. ”Miss Drummond? I must say, though not unwelcome, this is a surprise. I do not mind a social visit, although I hope you don’t hold it against me if I ask what brought this up?” Victoria greeted and asked, moving to sit down by the table.

Andy’s skin itched and she felt a little sluggish, a side effect of the whole place being basically one big power dampener. At least Victoria wasn’t collared. She smiled as Victoria came in, joining her at the table. "Hi. I, uh, well I wanted to talk to you. I know I told you that I didn’t blame you. And that is still very true. I’ve been in a position where I didn’t have control over myself. Something else had control. I don’t know what happened while I was away, because I went somewhere else.” Andy caught herself going off on a tangent.

"Anyway, that’s not why I’m here. I’m here because even though I know you blame yourself for killing me, it got me out of the Framework. It gave me the chance to help Zari and then the rest of the group.” It also had given her the satisfaction of beating the shit out of Usagi. "We often do things that we don’t consider the consequences of those actions. We just go through life doing whatever we want. Sometimes we find out the consequences quickly and they are negative. Other times, we may not even realize that there were consequences. I don’t think we should live our lives completely focused on what the consequences may or may not be, it’s important, but can’t be our only focus or we would get stuck in some serious decision paralysis and fatigue.” Andy paused again, realizing she was going off tangent again. "Sorry, I’ll try to get to my point. In this situation, the consequences of those actions did not negatively affect me. In fact, as far as I’m concerned it was a net positive. I don’t know what all you’ve got going on, but I wanted to make it clear that I do not blame you at all for what happened. Zari doesn’t blame you either. Being controlled does not put any guilt upon you for possible negative consequences of what happened.” She nodded, satisfied.

It felt like it took all of her dampened attention to follow, but Victoria managed. Smiling, she raised her hands as if wanting to slow the verbal machine gun. ”Thank you. You didn’t have to take the trip here to tell me that again, though. I agree that what happened was a lucky occurrence. I mean, we know of at least one version of events where things didn’t end up as well.”

She sighed, looking at her hands, ”I’ll admit, I respect you a lot for not being even a little bit bitter about it. I don’t think I would have been so forgiving in your place, even if I wouldn’t have perhaps acted on it. Heh. That and I don’t know many others who can lay Leah out in one move. But it doesn’t change the fact that I, a supercomputer with legs, got outplayed by a wouldbe villain, whom I let hide under my nose, on a team I led. Me being here has nothing to do with blaming myself, so you can put that thought to rest.”

She looked back up, her spirits lifted a little none the less. ”I went here to get help growing more resilient against such interference in the future. Well, that and I have some mommy issues, apparently. It’s something between parapsychology and coding on the spectrum, but next time, I want to be able to get us out in the first place. Then, perhaps, I may be happy with the outcome.” Given that Andy seemed to have the need to further reassure her, Vicky opted not to tell her about the whole self-shutdown attempt.

Andy smiled. She was glad that Victoria was getting help. Not just for the Arcade stuff but more things. "I think some form of parental issues are near universal. Parents, even if they aren’t in our lives, seem designed to fuck us up. I lived most of my life without any clue who my mom was, and finding out was, uh, well almost apocalyptic. If and when the group found out the whole truth about Andy it would be best to be as honest as possible leading up to that. And calling meeting her mom for the first time nearly apocalyptic was the truth through and through.

"If you want, if you need, I can ask Zari to help with the code stuff? She loves to do that sort of thing.” Andy was nearly computer illiterate. She had no idea how to do more than the basic programs like Word, and even that was a bit of a nightmare and she seemed to always have a headache after. However, she liked to listen to Zari talk, so she had some idea that at least Zari could help. And since Victoria hadn’t permanently killed Andy, Zari would be more willing to help. Also, if it helped prevent something like that from happening again Zari would definitely help. Though, Andy would expect just the chance to do some coding would be enough to make Zari want to do it. She wouldn’t think through all of the other stuff.

Andy rubbed her arms, under her jacket they felt numb a little. Like when the limb had fallen asleep but the pins and needles hadn’t started tingling just yet. "Anyway, I’ll head out soon unless you want to chat longer. I’m glad you’re getting help. Everyone needs help sometimes.” She smiled. "When I first met Zari she was trying to do some things alone. If she had done it by herself she probably would have failed. It required help from a big group of people. I was also alone. Trying to do everything by myself. But I met Zari and a bunch of other people and we saved the world, twice. I could not have done that alone.”

”Well, my mother put a failsafe in me which is what Arcade used to control me, and unknowingly almost unleashed Ultron upon the world again, so, in the range of apocalyptic? Not that that is something I wish to be a contest.” Victoria shuddered.

She looked aside with a sheepish smile. ”Weeellll… I don’t think me and your significant other work too well. I mean, I did call upon her once in this manner, but I would hesitate to call it anything more than an alliance of convenience. She didn’t take well to how I led our team, I may have blown up on her a few times for how she went about expressing her disapproval, and… I don’t know if that is a bridge that can be rebuilt.”

“And besides, she may do too good of a job and make me immune even to herself. Part of why I am okay leaving that bridge burnt is that I need to know there’s people that can bring me down if I go rogue, and having those people not be on friendly terms with me makes that decision easier for them.” she huffed. This wasn’t a topic she wanted to discuss. Definitely not after whatever the thing with April was. Leave well enough alone.

”If you’d like to talk outside of here sometime though, I’d like that.” she smiled, ”You got to tell me where you got that jacket at least, it looks amazing. But I’ll let you off from here, Dorian mentioned that the dampeners don’t feel right.” She got up, a thought entering her head. ”That said, I believe this may be the one place where I may shake your hand?” she offered her right.

Andy doubted that Zari would ever be friends with Victoria, so she wasn’t worried about any bridges being mended. She smiled and shook Victoria’s hand. "You’re right. It is probably the safest anyone has ever been around me since I was eight.” Minus her own time at Northwood.

"Unfortunately, the jacket was a gift from Ash Drummond, she’s who I take part of my name from. Without her I wouldn’t be here. I would have frozen in Rochester, New York before meeting Zari. But she died many years ago. I believe she got it from a thrift store in upstate New York, that’s all I could tell you.” Andy’s smile was gone as she spoke about Ash, her voice soft. When was the last time she had said her name out loud? How many years total? How many months relatively? Had it been a full year relatively even?

"As for this place, I feel slow. I feel like the world has sped up and I can’t keep up. And I’m used to a hum of electricity inside and out of me. There is none here. It’d be like suddenly losing your hearing.” She stood up. "I’ll see you back at school.”

Seeing Andy’s face droop, Vicky didn’t dig deeper into the family history and simply nodded. ”I guess I’ve had practice when I was pretending to be human. It doesn’t really bother me, I’ve lived like this for over two years. Well, take care. And thanks for coming by.”

Mandy Mason


Location: New York Streets - in Car -> Home
Skills: N/A


"Dad" Relief washed through Mandy. Her dad was okay. Nothing had happened here while they were gone. She hugged him tightly. That prevented her from answering him for a moment, but that was okay. Hugging her dad was worth it. Mandy feared for a moment as she did that this might be her last hug with him. Things were already crazy, it wasn't going to get better any time soon. Finally she released him and stepped back. Mandy raised her hands and started signing quickly. Faster than Hermes could probably follow.

"Well we left here and everything was wild already. There were cops and helicopters. Hermes said on the radio they warned to avoid being bit! Yes, bit, by people. Then we got to Hannah's apartment complex and there was this old man on the street. He had been hit by a car. His wife didn't know what to do. So we called 911 and they told us to stay away if he had been bit. He had been. By some homeless man. An ambulance and some cops showed up. While that was happening some kid attacked and I was attacked by birds for some reason. Hannah's neighbor got put in the ambulance and the kid was put in the police car. The two of us went to leave and some other kid was trying to steal my car. The cops stopped him and we drove him. The traffic is getting crazy and I don't know what to do other than prepare for the worst."

She slowed down taking a breath. ASL was a very visual language so the parts that would be easiest to understand were about the attacks.

"Anyway, we are planning what to pack now. I don't know if we can drive out of town or what. But we have to be ready to move if it gets worse. I think for now staying inside is the best plan." She was signing slower now so Hermes could follow along easier. "I've got my vet tech things. That's a lot of medical supplies. We've got the usual emergency kit. Now we just need to make it all travel sized. At least I got a backpack for the kitten so we don't have to worry about him." Though that did mean she would have to carry the cat and whatever was her share of supplies if they left the house.

Ed Penior


Location: New Orleans - Botanical Gardens
Skills: Magic
Items:
Magic cloak (like Dr Strange that allows him to fly)
Protection Amulet from Klara


The fight fell into chaos. Exodus was throwing cars at everyone. Max had showed up though. That meant that the back up was here. With something from Asgard. Ed hoped it wouldn't hurt Mary. They just needed to get the Phoenix out. Ed needed to think less laterally. He realized now that with the cloak he could get up and over the fight. It wrapped around him and he shot up into the air. He had been ready to shield himself if he needed to, but it hadn't been necessary.

Now he was above the fight and could see it from a bird's eye view. He could see where the cars were being thrown at his team. So he started bubbling the cars and moving them farther away, setting them down in a parking lot. No guarantee the car was undamaged, but it'd be in a better state than being thrown around like baseballs.

In Avengers Academy: Junior Year 💥 → 21 days ago Forum: Casual Roleplay
Dr. Maeve Whitehall read over the file on Andy as she sat outside. This was one where she felt more information in the file would have been helpful, but even then, it paved the initial road in therapy better. Energy vampirism and electrical manipulation were strong powers to possess for a young person.

_______________________________________

The office Andy would set foot in held neutral tones in light brown, white, and gray. The sitting area had three chairs, two armchairs and a sofa. The coffee table had a pot of coffee on it, freshly brewed, with two cups and some coasters. There was a stuffed sloth animal on the sofa. The walls held various black and white photographs of landmarks like the Eiffel Tower or the Sydney Opera House. There was also a water fixture on the side that made the sound of a light waterfall.

Maeve sat in one of the armchairs as Andy came in. “Hello Andy. My name is Dr. Maeve Whitehall, but you can call me Maeve or Dr. Whitehall, whichever you prefer. Please, take a seat wherever you like. Help yourself to some coffee if you want, or I can get some water if that’s better.” Maeve had her own coffee cup in front of her and she sipped it while Andy got comfortable.

Upon entering the room, Andy’s eyes darted around it. Taking in the set up and art. She smelled the coffee and it had already had her attention before Dr. Whitehall had mentioned it. ”I like coffee.” She said, picking up the cup and sat down in one of the armchairs. She sipped on the coffee, tasting it. She let it linger for a moment before sighing.

”Before we get into stuff, I have a question. When I was...little there were always rules around things like therapists and confessionals. Confidentiality rules. Could you clarify them for me?” Andy had established that talking about being from the past would probably be fine from Zari, but she wanted to make sure.

Maeve gave a warm smile as Andy sat and enjoyed the coffee. ”I love coffee also. Quite literally cannot start my day without it.” To fine that point Maeve picked up her own cup and sipped.

”I am happy to clarify that with you and I am very impressed. You are one of very few people I have spoken to that knew that at the start. So, confidentiality means that what we talk about in this room will stay in this room. Despite Coulson’s request for these sessions, I will not share with him what we talk about. That is unless you give me permission to and even then I will share only what you give me permission to. There are some stipulations to that confidentiality clause that, if they occur, I may need to break confidentiality. Those include if there is any desire to want to seriously harm yourself or someone else, if there is child abuse or vulnerable adult abuse, or if the authorities get involved and ask for my records. Even if that was the case with that last one I would fight them on it. Other than that, this is a private space. Does all of that make sense?”

”Yes. Thank you.” Andy nodded and took a sip of her coffee. ”I know that this is supposed to be focused on the recent incident. And I do suppose I should talk about that. But I need to talk about something else.” Andy considered what she wanted to say. She had been fretting over it but the doctor's comment about abuse made her pause. She wondered what sort of statute of limitations there was on that. To give herself a moment she took another sip of her coffee.

”I was born in 2004. I time traveled to get here. I can't say I don't know anyone but as far as anyone knows I've been missing or dead for the last seventeen years.” She said it all in almost one breath and sucked in another when she finished. Andy hadn't said that to anyone yet. Zari and her parents knew, obviously, but she hadn't told anyone.

Maeve nodded as Andy opened up with some information she had not been made aware of. Granted, that was by her own request. Still, it pleased Maeve that Andy was open to this. ”We can talk about whatever it is you want. The situation with Arcade may have been the starting event that got the ball rolling, but I am here to help with whatever it is you need in the moment.”

“So you time traveled here from 2004? How was that experience for you? I imagine it was somewhat of a shock. And a revelation to those that knew you in 2004 and then 17 years later. Did you share this with anyone? Parents? Siblings? Friends?”

”My girlfriend is aware.” That was an understatement. ”My mom is too. I never knew my biological Dad and I haven't spoken to my adoptive dad about it. I kind of left without saying anything. I don't have any siblings, that I know of. My mom very likely has had other children. As for friends, that's complicated. It turns out one of the friends I've made now is the son of one of my friends from before.” Andy was not ready to give details about who her family was and that she had been on Genosha.

”That’s a lot to handle. Still, it is nice to hear you have some support from others. Friendships can be complicated at the best of times, though I imagine your particular situation makes that different. How has all of this impacted your time at school? With the coursework and the contest amongst other events, as previously mentioned, a typical student would be understandably stressed.”

”I didn't have the most complete education before and the seventeen year gap has not been an easy hurdle. I feel like I have to study four times harder than the others to catch up to what I should have been.” Andy was honestly very stressed with trying to get a handle on all of that. ”I've gotten some help at least. From a couple of others. The contest itself sounds...magical. When I left, mutants were hated. It was a mess. Shortly after M-pox.” Shortly after the Drummonds deaths. ”There was a lot of hatred and resentment. And then I came here and Mutants are just,” she waved her hand encompassing the school and everything.
Maeve of course knew of the hatred of mutants. It was a topic of discussion during her time at school as well as her own experiences. ”Yes, growing up I heard stories of mutants and how they had to be feared. Harder still having ones power manifest. Things have gotten better thankfully and schools like this have done their part in that progress.”

“With the pressure of catching up on not only schoolwork, but really society as a whole, what do you do to take that stress off? The contest can be a nice distraction but that comes with its own share of stress.”

”The contest is fine. I don't mind being part of it. It isn't driving me or anything. I have no idea about modern social media. I've been meaning to try to figure it out but haven't had the time. I started reading the Percy Jackson series. A friend lent them. I like it. Kind of wish I had read it back when it was more age appropriate.” Andy pauses to take a sip of her coffee. ”I've honestly been so swamped between the two that I can't even find time to do something else. I suppose with the grade promise Coulson gave us will make it a bit easier.” She looks down at her coffee. ”That's why we were doing the extra training in the Framework. We all felt the pressure.”

Maeve nodded, making further mental notes. ”I know about that book series. And don’t worry, I still enjoy a young adult book now and then. The Hunger Games? Still a favorite. I think responding to that pressure in the way you all did is valid. It was a way to get extra help in preparation for something a lot of you were looking forward to and wanting to work hard at. You especially are in a unique situation having been from the past and making decisions for yourself knowing you have to take extra steps and put in more work to be where everyone else is. Do you find it makes it harder to relate to your classmates and, by extension, those on your team?”

That last question drove home. Andy had on a whim decided to abandon her time to follow Zari. Zari was sometimes impossible to understand but she still wouldn't change that choice. Zari kept her grounded and happy. However, there was so much boiling inside her.

”Yeah.” She answered simply. ”I also...since they were all born around the year I left. There is this feeling that I'm not seventeen. I've only lived that long but I should be, if I hadn't time traveled, in my thirties. I was friends with some of their parents, who think I am dead. Heck, one of their grandfather's adopted me. I think she hates me sometimes because of that. Then they all have seventeen years of pop culture and history and I was never great at it back in my own time with that stuff. I only got interested in b- movies about a year ago, relatively. And that was because of the Drummonds, who were murdered in a horrifying fire right after Christmas by some Purifiers, anti-mutants, and then m-pox happened and I was just fumbling from one thing to the next. For me that was just months ago. Not seventeen years. Then I joined this group and we stopped M-pox. When we woke up from that months later we were on Genosha. There I found out who my biological mom is. Then she turns around and tries to kill everyone and I just left. I didn't even think about it. Zari asked me and I followed. Started coming to this school, which by the way if you remember from 17 years ago how horrible mutants were treated going to a mutant school was a massive fear. But I'm here and I don't want to just keep stumbling between crises. I need to be prepared. And I'm not. Eventually people are going to come looking for my mom. And if I can't keep her out of their hands the world will be in danger again.” Everything came tumbling out. She hadn't wanted to say all of that but it was like an avalanche once it started. Her hands were shaking. She looked down at the coffee and drank half the cup. She really hadn't wanted to get into who her mom was. Discussing that couldn't be a good idea.

”It sounds like a lot of pressure on you, both one you're willing to take on and one you had thrusted on you. I get the sense talking about your mother spiked your emotions. While I am happy to address that area I want you to know you do not need to during this first session. But I am here to talk about it.”

“While I do not know about time travel and being displaced like you are, I think everyone experiences those feelings of unknown in who you are compared to others. Yours is on another level to be sure, but I will go out on a limb and say there are probably others who have similar feelings. This is why it is important to have a support network of people who want the best for you. But it is also important to know your own boundaries and what you want to share and when.”

Andy's hands tightened around the mug. The coffee didn't feel warm anymore. And there wasn't much left anyway. She finished it off then set the cup down.

”I have to take it. No one else could protect people from mom like me. I haven't told anyone new. They think I'm weird and old fashioned. I don't know how to socialize with them. I miss the ring and fighting and knowing a person from how they fight. I miss the Drummonds. And I miss thinking I'd be safe.” If Andy was honest with herself she hadn't really felt safe since she had been eight. But the death of the Drummonds had sealed away any hope of that.

”If I get strong enough to protect Mom then I'll be safe. No one else will protect me.” Except Zari.

”I am going to assign you some homework. This isn’t like school where you will be graded nor are you obligated to do this. I will sometimes assign homework if I feel it is in my client’s best interest and I think it will help. This is, assuming of course, you want to make this a regular thing. If you do, then for next time, I want you to sit with yourself in those feelings. The need, the desire to want to be strong to protect yourself. Allow yourself to feel all the emotions attached to that desire. Write them down if you want. Then, I want you to take a step back and think about allowing others in. Friends, family, other loved ones and other supports. Even if briefly, allow yourself to feel what it would be like to allow others in to help. Write that down too if you want.”

“Even if you do not want sessions to continue, I would still encourage this. And even if after this session if you do not want to come back, know that I will be a support for you in whatever you need it for.”

”I'll try. I am willing to continue meeting too.” Andy said. ”Thank you. I've been needing to talk about some stuff. And I've only scratched the surface of that.” Andy stood up sensing that this was the end of the session, and left the room. She felt better. ”Oh! She poked her head back in, ”Do you do family therapy?”

Andy was surprised that the teacher didn't know them. Part of her was thankful for it. She raised her hand as Zari drew attention to them. "I'm not surprised you scared him. Your power would have been perfect for that situation. If he had let you into the Framework you would have beaten him in moments." She agreed.

"And yeah I don't blame her at all. Hell I know I've done things under external control. I am not happy about it, but I don't blame myself for it. Also, if she hadn't killed me in there I wouldn't have gotten out and gotten your help. We would have been in there longer. If it had been someone else they probably wouldn't have woken back up either." She shrugged. "I guess I should tell her that so she stops blaming herself so much. I told her, just before you came into the meeting, that I didn't blame her. I don't think she took it to heart though."

Now they had to wait for the all clear so they could go back into the building. There were a bunch of students milling about waiting. Some had just come out of the building and were making a fuss. Andy looked over and saw that it was the Wonder Trio plus their friends. Part of her wished she had gotten a better start with them. She was glad her and Dorian had worked through it and watched the movie together. However, the others still felt like they hated her. Leah was cool and Andy would love to be her friend. That group was so tangled up in their relationships though it was difficult. Andy knew she'd always feel like an outsider. At least she had Zari.
