Boredom breeds bravery.
She'd been there a couple days now, tucked away in 'her room'. Food had been brought for her and Andrea-robot and touchy-Vincent had both tried to engage her in conversation, but she had nothing to talk about. All she wanted to know was when she'd be able to leave and why they kept saying she was related to someone she wasn't. They'd also told her she was free to 'move about the building' as she wanted, something she wasn't so sure about.

But, after the second day in the room, she'd gotten curious. Opening the door, she waited for alarms to sound, or feet to come rushing to put her back in. Nothing. Peeking her head around the frame, she saw no one, heard no one. Which made her a little braver; pushing the door flat open and standing there expectantly. Nope. Nothing. Well. We'd see about that. Taking a decisive step out of the room, she stuck her chin out, picking a direction to at random and marching down it.

She came to a room, one with couches and wide glass windows. Going over to one of the windows, she stood with her hands pressed against it, looking out at the city below her. So busy, like little ants. With the insulation of the building she couldn't hear the cacophony below, but she remembered it from her brief flight over. Busy, loud and chaotic. There didn't seem to be any order or regulations to anything they did. It was somewhat frightening, but also something that piqued her curiosity; nudging at memories long buried and locked away.

"That is easily remedied. I have a serviceable violin, and a guitar that has probably collected some dust, but should still be in good shape." The former was good exercise for spell-casting gestures, the latter had been a three week phase to impress a few girls.

"And I'd be happy to help you purchase your own, if you don't like the feel of the ones we have on hand."

	"You do?" Cue one look of intense interest from Evie. The idea of being able to play again... it brought her a sense of peace and pleasure. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Face meet hand protocol engaged. "...If you'll forgive Vincent his puns, you will find we are usually quite prepared for whatever might come up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The pun went over Evie's head, having not actually been told of the team name for the Baxter Building inhabitants. "Like what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Invading ravagers from the Negative Zone, Subterranea, and/or the Microverse are the most common things we deal with, along with the occasional tantrum by..." He tenses. "..my father, or sometimes Namor." Vincent shrugs. "We help people. We save them when we find them in danger, and we work on ways to make the world better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay..." Helping people. She supposed that was better than the alternative, but she still didn't know what she was supposed to do with or for them. She wondered if she should take this opportunity to flee, though she wasn't sure where she'd go if she did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Evie?" Andrea asked. "Are you all right?" The girl had looked slightly agitated for a moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How--" She looked over at Andrea, chewing her lip. "How long am I staying? What do I do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2012-03-25 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	Vincent tilts his head, then gives her a smile. "You stay as long as you want, and you do whatever you want that doesn't hurt anyone or make Kristoff have to give you a lecture. That last part is harder to avoid, but you get used to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2012-03-25 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Precisely," Andrea said. "We have no wish to run your life." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	flieswithfire 2012-03-25 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	"But... what do I do?" That was a very important question for her. What was she supposed to do in that ever-so-tall building. Sitting around watching them was fine for now, but in a week? Two? She was fine, and she needed to do more than look at walls. She was free, but she still felt confined. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2012-03-28 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	Vincent considers that. "Well... there's always science. Kristoff has plenty to teach, if he has time. There's always plenty to read and watch as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Or there are numerous other avenues your could pursue," Andrea added. "Your future is yours to decide." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	flieswithfire 2012-03-29 02:47 am UTC (link)
	She didn't know what to do with that. Freedom had been a vague idea, something she wanted but hadn't thought she'd ever actually have, so there hadn't been any plans made for that possibility. "I don't know what I want." (Reply to this)(Parent)
