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!

	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. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	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?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2014-01-01 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	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." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2014-01-02 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	She shook her head. "I am not nearly the hero some are. Yet, anyway." She smiled. "The Hyper Teen...? Oh! You mean Varon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	the_hyper_teen 2014-01-02 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes. You two fought that minotaur together, and other stuff. He's always very specific about how he introduces himself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2014-01-02 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, yes he is," K'hym agreed. "But we have teamed up several times now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	the_hyper_teen 2014-01-03 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	"You seem like you work really well together." He grins playfully. "I bet he likes you. Wouldn't be hard to see why." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2014-01-03 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	She shook her head. "I do not know about that," she said. "We hardly know each other." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	the_hyper_teen 2014-01-12 01:16 am UTC (link)
	He shrugs. "Not sure. They remind me of Green Arrow and Black Canary, with the videos I've seen online." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	khym_jonzz 2014-01-12 01:24 am UTC (link)
	"We are definitely not a couple," K'hym said. But she frowned. "I am sorry. My Martian Hearing is picking something up. I have to go..." She got up quickly, heading out the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)
