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 do! The Defenders are awesome! I'm a Defender!" THen Zoey's face scrunched up in thought. "I don't know. I can ask my Mom. She'll know." Zoey turned. "MOM!" she yelled.

Grace's face paled a little. He was married? "Okay..." she managed weakly.

He was married and had a kid, and here she was, just barging in on his life. Way to go, Grace.

"What is it, Zoey?" Syd asked as she made her way to the front door. Then she spotted the young woman. "Can I help you?"

"Hi," Grace said, regaining some of the color in her face and managing a small smile. "I'm Grace Danvers. I'm here to see Simon Williams...is he in?"

"Hi. I'm Sydney. Simon's not here right now. Is there something I can help you with?"

"Zoey!" Syd admonished. The girl was obviously too young to be Simon's girlfriend. Right? "I'm sorry. I don't know when he'll be back, but you're welcome to come in and wait for him." Just don't mind the child asking questions and the gods running around.

Grace turned a lovely shade of tomato red. "No!" she exclaimed, "I'm....a friend of a friend." There. That sounded about right. "And that would be...nice, thanks." She managed a small smile.

At least she could get to know her sister and step-mother (if that's what they were), while she waited.

Why was she so relieved at that answer? Syd shook her head. "Come in. The other residents are about and you'll probably see a few, but there's no reason to be nervous. They're mostly harmless." Most of the time. How weird was it that she had adjusted to life with gods that she thought they were mostly harmless.

"Where are you coming from?"

"Want to see my horse?!" Zoey asked. "He's in the stables. I can take you down there."

Grace nodded, following Sydney and Zoey in. "Boston," she said, before turning to Zoey, smiling at her. "And I'd love to, if that's okay with your Mom."

"That's quite the trip. Can I get you something to eat or drink while you wait? Sarah and I just made some fresh chocolate chip cookies."

"Can I, Mom? Please? Svalin's down there right now." Zoey was practically bouncing.

"You wouldn't be imposing. We always have food available. There are some pretty big appetites around here."

Syd lead her toward the kitchen.

"In a little while, Zoey. Let Miss Danvers get comfortable."

"I guess I could have a couple of cookies, then." She really was hungry, truthfully.

"And please, call me Grace." She followed Sydney into the kitchen.

Den Mother Syd wondered if this was going to be a new recruit to the team. She lead her into the kitchen.

"Sarah makes the best chocolate chip cookies. But you have to get them right when they come out of the over otherwise Ohu and Halbjorn eat them all." Zoey nodded sagely.

"Yup!" Zoey confirmed. "They eat a LOT and Ohu loves sweets. We ate a lot of cookies when we saved Christmas and delivered presents for Santa."

Syd busied herself with getting some cookies for Zoey and Grace. "What would you like to drink?"

"I bet it was, I only wish stuff that cool happened to me when I was your age," Grace gave her smile before turning to Sydney, "Water's fine, thank you."
