Just One Of Those Days
"So..." Virgil O'Valeron, mild-mannered production intern at WGBA, sighed to himself, "--this is how the life of an ordinary citizen comes to an end." He tilted his head to watch the rapidly approaching ground, relieved to see he wasn't going to hit anyone when he connected with the pavement.

~Five minutes earlier~

"And so, excuse me honey, if you'll just let me scooch in here..." Virgil's boss squeezed herself between him and his desk, bending over at the waist as she examined something on his computer's monitor. "This is how you access the server where we keep the past year of broadcasted news segments ready for general use. Older than that and you'd have to do some digging--" Her hips seemed to move back against him more pointedly.

"Ah, thank you for the instruction, Miss Goodleigh--"

"I've told you, Virgil, call me Gabrielle.." She looked back over her shoulder at him, fluttering her lashes and smiling coyly.

"Yes, Gabrielle, it's not that I don't appreciate you taking the time to help me, but it's a bit cramped here, and..." As he tried to back away from her rhythmically swaying hindquarters, he felt a bump against the back of his knees, and his center of gravity abruptly shift. He watched the view of the office abruptly rotate before his eyes, as he found himself falling out the window.

He had two thoughts in rapid succession.

First, that the window being able to open that wide with no safety measures outside must be some sort of safety violation!

Second, how was he supposed to extricate himself from this situation without revealing his hyper powers? Mild-mannered citizen, Virgil O'Valeron, would most certainly be falling to certain death!

Ohhh... she smells like daisies and oreos. It puts Virgil at ease. "Yes... yes I'm fine. I fell out the window from my job's office. Up there." He points at one of the higher levels of the WGBA building. Gabrielle was hanging out the window, a feat of balance that seemed to stagger the imagination, given her build, staring down in shock.

She slowly started ascending up toward the window.

"That seems... very unsafe," she said, suddenly worried for him if this was where he worked. "Surely that must be against some building code."

"I'll have to talk to building maintenance..." He comments, as they reach the window. Gabrielle throws herself against him once he's inside, hands running over his chest and melodramatically thanking Mars Girl for her help, but she can definitely leave now.

"Uh... thank you for saving my life." He comments to her, trying to untangle himself from Gabrielle. "Could I-- I mean, if you're not busy-- take you to lunch or something as a thank you? My break is in about an hour."

K'hym's eyes narrowed just ever so slightly at the woman's overt physical contact with Virgil, but she forced herself into a calmer demeanor.

"I, ah, do not see why not," she said after a minute. "Though I do not even know your name."

"Oh! Sorry, my name's Virgil. Virgil O'Valeron." He smiles and extends his hand to her.

Should you really be going out to lunch with another woman?

Silence! This is perfectly normal civilian behavior after being saved from certain doom!

She carefully took and shook his hand. This was going to be... different. If this was a TV show, it would lead to all kinds of wacky misunderstandings. But K'hym was reasonably certain life was not a TV show.

"In one hour then," she agreed. "Where would you like to go?"

"How about Shake Shed? They've got excellent burgers, along with shakes."

She was reasonably certain she could bluff her way through that. There were very few places that did not offer some kind of vegetarian option these days, especially in larger cities. A quick scan with her Martian Vision told her where that was.

"I think that would be fine," she said. "I will meet you there."

"Cool! I'll look forward to it... Miss Goodleigh, please, I'm fine..." He finishes untangling himself and waves goodbye as he gets the window shut again.

K'hym herself nodded slightly, smiled, then phased her way out of the building. She floated for a moment as she turned solid again, then flew off.

A little while later, Virgil is sitting down to lunch, checking his watch. Had it been too presumptuous to think she'd just be free? She probably had all kinds of superhero stuff to be doing.

A moment later, a young black woman (who, if anyone was paying any attention, looked pretty much exactly like the real life version of Tiana from the Princess and the Frog, albeit more modernly dressed).

"It is... Virgil, right?" she asked.

He looks up, tilting his head quizzically. "Uh... yes? I'm sorry, have we met?"

She smiled a little. "We met earlier today. You might say I... caught you."

"...oh... Oh! Oh, I see..." He smiles and nods, tapping his nose.

"Glad you could make it."

She took a seat. "Of course," she said. "I could use a bite to eat anyway."

He decides on his burger and an Oreo shake quickly enough, having already glanced over the menu before she arrived. "So, what brings you to town?"

She skimmed the menu, looking for the vegetarian options, and finding a few acceptable ones. Also, Oreo Shakes.

"Oh, just chance. I was flying over the area and spotted you falling."

"Oh, you are welcome," she said. She titled her head slightly to the side. "You... do not make a habit of that, do you? Because I may not always be around."

"I can honestly say that's the first time I've ever fallen out of a window." He says with a laugh. Flying out of windows was a very different matter, of course.

"I've seen videos of you on the internet. You seem like you do a lot of good for a lot of people."

"Oh, I do not know if I have done all that much," K'hym told him. "I just help where I can."

"Don't be modest!" He reassures her. "You're a superhero! You've got a costume and teamups and everything." He pauses, considering something, but trying to sound casual. "Like with The Hyper Teen."

She shook her head. "I am not nearly the hero some are. Yet, anyway."

She smiled. "The Hyper Teen...? Oh! You mean Varon."

"Yes. You two fought that minotaur together, and other stuff.

He's always very specific about how he introduces himself."
