Amelia entered her near empty home and immediately got ready for bed, showering and brushing her teeth of the greasy fried food smell and alcohol from the bar, even catching a scent of Valerie's perfume as she pulled her shirt over her head. She hadn't noticed before, but it smelled nice...expensive like Valerie, because clearly being involved with someone like Valerie Cartier would cost her in more ways than one. Amelia couldn't decide if it was even worth the risk, or if there was a risk at all. Dammit, Brian... You've gotten into my head. She had only given the woman her number, which she was almost sure at some point Valerie would use it to give her a call sometime in the distant future. Maybe to inquire about a lap dance. She spit her tooth paste out and chuckled, thinking back on how The Countess called her a stripper. In retrospect, the whole encounter was more funny than anything... The Countess had more damage to a helicopter than to The Silver Heart, so she was still somewhat high from the victory. Winning never gets old.
Amelia yawned and slipped under her blanket on the couch, contemplating tomorrow's events. She had a full day ahead with unpacking and her new bed would finally be arriving along with some other larger pieces of furniture to fill up her cute three bedroom house. It didn't take long before the thought of laying on a mattress again put her to sleep.
*ding*dong*
Amelia opened the door for who she presumed to be the movers, not even bothering to check first by looking through the spy hole. Being a Super Hero often left her feeling invincible, and after beating The Countess in yesterday's fight she wasn't worried about some burly men lugging her furniture around. They were harmless compared to the real villains in New York City. "Hi, Come in!" She opened the front door wide and stepped aside to allow the movers passage. Though she was a bit annoyed to see them all walking in empty handed, only to inspect the place and ask some questions about where Amelia wanted the furniture set up. She happily showed them to her bedroom, the guest room and study room.
"Is that your husband's bike out there?" A mover asked confidently, and quite loudly in front of everyone. Amelia didn't know why he would assume she was married when there were no rings on her ring finger, but she didn't want to entertain that part of the question. Probably a poor attempt to figure out if she was single. "Haha. No, it's mine. I learned to ride a motorcycle before I got my first car." She appeared quite amused by the male's assumption, and resisted the urge to tear him a new one in front of his pals; it was an innocent question after all. Without giving him a chance to respond, she went into the kitchen where she'd left her phone and checked her missed calls.

Mom
Mom calling from Baby Sis' phone.
Amelia auto dialed her Mother's phone number and held the phone up to hear ear, waiting for an answer... As expected, there was no answer. Adele liked to call for no reason and then play phone tag with her oldest daughter. Amelia was starting to think it was on purpose. She checked her inbox and had a dozen or so unread text messages from the people in her hometown asking how the city life was treating her. Nothing that needed a response, most of them were acquaintances.
