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'm fine," Grace said, "I don't want to impose or anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-01-27 08:28 am UTC (link)
	"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." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

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

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

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

	"You speak from experience, huh?" Grace laughed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-27 08:44 am UTC (link)
	"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." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-01-27 08:46 am UTC (link)
	"Delivered presents for Santa, huh? That must have been very exciting. It sounds like you have a lot of fun around here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-27 08:52 am UTC (link)
	"We did! It was Ohu, me and Simon! We delivered presents and didn't get caught by the Anti-Santa. It was a lot of fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd busied herself with getting some cookies for Zoey and Grace. "What would you like to drink?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-01-27 08:59 am UTC (link)
	"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." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-27 09:00 am UTC (link)
	"Milk please," Zoey said. "All of the other kids at school are jealous. They always want to come over." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-01-27 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	Marlow wandered into the kitchen in her usual vague state, smiled at Sydney and Zoey, picked up one of the delicious cookies, smiled at the new person, and wandered back out. She knew if she didn't get one early, they would be gone before dinner. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-01-27 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Hello," Grace said, smiling at the other girl as she nibbled on a cookie. Before she got a chance to introduce herself, though, the other girl had wander out. "Who was that?" she asked Zoey and Sydney, an eyebrow cocked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-01-27 07:12 pm UTC (link)
	"That was Marlow," Syd said as she placed a glass of milk in front of Zoey and a glass of water in front of Grace. "She's our quiet resident," Syd explained. "Is there anything else I can get you?" Syd was going to go call Simon when she got the chance. There was no sense in making the girl sit here longer than necessary. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-27 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Thanks, Mommy," Zoey said. "Marlow's a sorceress like Asleif and like I'm going to be one day," Zoey said before stuffing a part of a cookie in her mouth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-01-27 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm fine, thank you." Grace gave Sydney a smile before taking a sip of her water. "A sorceress, huh?" Grace gave Zoey a wink, "You can turn all the boys that break your heart into toads." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-27 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Yup! And the one who broke my arm!" Zoey said as she held up her arm with the cast on it. "Will you sign my cast?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-01-27 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Ow! That wasn't very nice of him!" Grace smiled at her, "And I would consider it an honor." She laughed. "I'll tell you a secret...I broke my arm once when I was about your age. I jumped out of a tree once. I was trying to fly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-01-27 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	"If you two will excuse me, I will call Simon and see when he'll be home," Syd said before ducking out of the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-27 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	Zoey jumped off her chair and ran to the counter. She opened a drawer and pulled out a Sharpie marker. "Here!" she said as she ran over to Grace. "Did your broken arm hurt too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-01-27 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Very much," Grace said as she took the Sharpie and began to write on Zoey's cast. "Everyone in my class at school signed it...but I wasn't lucky like you. I didn't have any cool superheroes to sign my cast." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-27 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Thanks!" Zoey beamed. "The Defenders, Avengers and the Fantastic Four all signed it! We were in New York when I broked it." Zoey tilted her head in thought. "Are you a superhero too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-01-27 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Wow! That's a lot!" Grace gave her a smile as she finished signing her name, drawing a little heart next to it for her. "I'm not a superhero..." No harm in telling her about her superhero connections though. She was sick of hiding anyway. "My mom is, though. Or was. She's mostly retired now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What was her name? What could she do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
