Sophie managed one last little wave and a scoff at Claire's jokes, but had a small smile on her face as Mona led her away. Doctors and hospitals were things she was used to, after managing to hurt herself so many times in the middle of hero work, and after having so many x-rays and tests done as...

While Claire and Mona talked, Sophie was busy doing her best 'oh my god how could you' face behind the hero's back, crossing her arms and looking annoyed at her agent to try and convince her not to be so distrusting without using actual words. Clearly Sophie was standing there, relatively...

Sophie made an incredulous sort of face when Claire said that she’d been left behind, thinking it was both rude and unnecessary to make her stay, but she was too tired for arguing and just had to assume that it was for a reason. She didn’t need a babysitter, and she was sure Nova and the others...

It was entertaining, listening to everyone talking about Claire's Halloween costumes, but at the same time bouncing her attention back and forth between them all was making Sophie feel even more tired, somehow. As she walked off the plane with Claire keeping her on track, she could only look at...

Sophie couldn’t help but smile at Claire's quips, amused even if she thought some of the jokes were a little silly, or a little lame. Sometimes lame jokes were the best kind, she thought, and having a friendly face to chitchat with was more than she could have asked for, given the circumstances...

The more she and Claire got to talk like two normal people, the more the older woman began to feel like a friend instead of a starstruck fan, albeit a very new and unknown sort of friend. She was much gentler now, and Sophie thought it might just be because of her own exhaustion and the state...

Claire's lack of answer and dubious expressions were not reassuring, but Sophie got the point despite taking it with an annoyed sigh. Apparently even extremely vague answers like Number of Miles from the ski resort were off limits, which didn’t make any sense to Sophie. It was stupid, and...

Sophie frowned still, but after a moment to pause and feel the way the plane shifted under her feet did carefully sit back down in the hammock, as upright as she could manage to do so. It still didn’t make sense. She knew Claire was right about the tank, though she felt okay, just tired still -...

Sophie was just starting to try and get herself to her feet when she heard footsteps coming closer, and after a little pause could only assume Claire hadn’t been kidding and the bird had summoned her. It gave the younger girl immediate Snow White vibes, but that could have been the exhaustion...

Sophie barely heard Claire speaking again as she drifted off, with barely enough coherent thought left in her to think she was being rude for ignoring the woman before she went lights out. The slight motion of the hammock and the very faint rumble of engines had her dreaming of being a little...

Thankfully, unlike most people, it seemed that spending a little bit of time near her had soothed some of Claire's internal rabid fangirl. With her much more calm and collected, Sophie felt much more comfortable accepting the help up to her feet, careful not to accidentally knock the woman with...

Sophie was frowning a little when she came back to the table, coming over to sit next to Claire and not quite straining to see the tiny little screen everyone was staring at because standing up was too much effort. She could hear it well enough, at least, and kept frowning as the voices went on...

For being such a hardass about trust, Nova's idea of making friends was entirely too optimistic. Sophie rolled her eyes a little but otherwise tried to just let it go, smiling a little for Claire when she said the man liked shiny things. Maybe she would let him keep the tiny star for a bit...

"Uh huh," Sophie replied with a little roll of her eyes, unconvinced. "Do the accent in a Japantown somewhere and see how fast you get punched." She had to laugh, though, when he seemed just as mesmerized by her powers as Claire was. "Let's be real here, if I could make them last forever...

It was difficult to determine what sort of dynamic, exactly, was sitting in front of her, but Sophie was relatively certain that it was one that meant safety. Claire was a little much, but she had calmed down, and the trio in front of her seemed to get along well enough despite having extremely...

I guess that makes sense, Sophie thought, trying to focus and listen as best she could while remembering to finish her meal and keeping her posture from slumping. Even heroes can’t be everywhere. The fact that their team was spread across the U.S. was interesting. It wasn’t that she’d never...

Sophie refused to react to the gentle ribbing at her 'detailed' question. It was too small a bait to rise to for someone used to people questioning everything they did, and she didn’t want to make too many faces, lest she seem ungrateful. Her questions were getting answered, anyway, and that was...

Sophie wasn’t sure what kind of help anyone could give her with something so personal, but Claire's offer at least felt honest and she gave a small, grateful smile in response. She knew appearances could be deceiving, and people could act like someone they weren’t, but she was already beginning...

Nova's quip about the phone being upset was amusing, and enough to help Sophie feel a bit less on guard, but she had also simply been dealing with people like Claire for a few years now, and even before she'd started to be able to use her abilities effectively hadn’t been completely out of the...

Sophie frowned a little when Nova tugged on her, but despite being unwelcome his grip wasn’t bruising or demanding, just guiding her along until he eventually let go so she could walk on her own. It was strange, being inside someone else's headquarters. She was just a teenager, and wasn’t even...
