First impressions
It had taken her awhile, but Grace had managed to locate Defenders HQ. Granted, she got lost a couple of times on the way there....but she was there now.

Her heart was beating loudly and felt like it would fall out of her stomach. Her palms were sweaty and her feet felt like blocks of cement.

She could do this. She wanted to do this for seventeen years. Well...granted, she didn't know who her father was until recently, but she'd still wanted to meet him just the same.

Inhaling and gathering her courage, Grace walked up to the door and pressed down on the buzzer.

"I got it!" Zoey yelled and jumped up from her spot in the rec room. She, Zelbar, and Spenser were watching Kim Possible when the doorbell rang. She loved answering the door, unless it was Ohu's daddy, and she wanted to be the first one there.

The three of them raced to the door.

She opened the door (despite her mother telling her many times to ask who it was first) and smiled up at the pretty girl standing there. "Hi!"

	Grace blinked a couple of times. Crap. She'd expected the door to be answered by a butler, or hopefully, Wonder Man himself (though she'd probably just freeze right up if that was the case). Not a little kid. Could be that he had a family already? That this little girl was her little sister? "Hi," Grace managed, when her voice came back to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hi. Who are you? Are you looking for someone?" Zoey asked. Zelbar and Spencer sat on each side of her legs. Svalin had trained them not to bark or jump up on people. "I'm Zoey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm Grace. Grace Danvers." Grace gave her a soft smile. "And actually, I am looking for someone. I'm here to see Simon Williams...is he in, by any chance?" She looked down at the dogs. "Nice dogs," she said, attempting to make smalltalk. "Are they yours?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nope. They're Griffen's dogs. I have a horse. His name is Snowflake. He's all white. Though he doesn't fly like Svalin's horse. We have a tiger too. Well Halbjorn does. Do you have pets?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A horse, huh?" Grace gave her a grin, kneeling down to extend a hand for the dogs to sniff. "I always wanted a horse when I was little." She looked back up at her, "No. My mom never let me get pets, though I had my fair share of goldfishes when I was little." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yup! Svalin, Halbjorn, Asleif and Aridis gave me a horse for my birthday. He's awesome!" She paused. "I just wish he could fly like Svalin's horse. What were your goldfishes names?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's a really nice birthday present," Grace said, "You have some really nice friends." She paused. "They had a lot of different names... Freddie, Goldie, Joey, Angel, Reggie....there's a few more, but I can't remember them." If this girl was her younger sister by any chance, at least she was totally adorable.

	"It was! It was much better than the demons and soldiers attacking." Zoey nodded. The kids at school were still talking about her birthday party. "Wow. That's a lot of fish." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Halbjorn!" Zoey exclaimed when she saw him as she tugged on Grace's hand. "This is Grace! She's here to see Simon. But Simon isn't here so she's hanging out. We're going outside so she can show me her powers and I can show her Snowflake." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace fought the urge to drop her jaw. Wow. "H--hello," she managed to get out after just staring at him for a good two minutes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zoey wrapped one arm around Halbjorn's neck and kissed his cheek. "Want to come with us?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you," Grace said, her face still a lovely shade of tomato red. "I'm just here to see Simon...and I'm not really sure how long I'm staying, exactly." She took his extended hand and shook it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you," her face settled on a shade of pink, "I have a hotel room not too far from here, though. I wouldn't want to crowd anyone." She paused. "Simon's an old...associate of my mom's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	While Zoey took Grace down to the stables to see Snowflake and meet the other residents, Syd called Simon. Hopefully he wasn't in the middle of something important and hopefully it was interrupting some time with a saline filled bimbo. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hang on, Brooke. It's the Batphone." it's award season and Brooke is an old friend who is recently divorced from a piece of work husband and doesn't want to be alone. Simon is currently entertaining her at his apartment, which he maintains for this reason. Zoey and the Defenders don't need to be around this part of his life. "Hello."

	"It's me," Syd said. "Sorry to disturb you." No she wasn't. Not really. "There's someone here at the compound to see you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How bad?" There's no breaking sounds in the background or hostage demand yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know," Syd honestly said. "She said her name is Grace Danvers and said her mother was a friend of yours." Yes, Syd had already put two and two together and wouldn't be surprised if she were right. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Huh, so that's why Carol retired." He rubs the back of his neck. "Always wondered." He always wondered, too, if their mutual rebound fling off each other cause her to skip town, too, but Ms. Marvel wasn't the type to let a little mutual self-destruction get in the way.

	"She's here waiting to see you. Can I give her an ETA or should I prepare a room for her and tell her you'll be home tomorrow?" Syd was far from dumb and knew why Simon didn't come home some nights. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Brooke is already getting dressed. "It depends. Why is she there? What am I walking into here, Syd?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
