A Hard Day's Work (Possibly NSFW)
It had been over two months since Alisa had come to live with the Champions, and she had changed during that time. She had grown a bit more confident in herself, her stuttering was close to being gone forever, she had gained weight and now looked a bit healthier, and she even had a steady job with good income. Alisa also took Nick's advice and had been attending therapy sessions in the quarter once a week, o help her deal with her past life on the streets of New Orleans, and various other traumas. Alisa felt like a whole new person, almost as though she were reborn and given a better life.

But despite all of these good things, there were still things that urked her. Argo saw her as some best friend, no where near a woman. Ennie refused to see her after his powers went haywire, and she had not spoken to him since. But her biggest urk was that she was still not an official member of the "Champions". She just felt like some live in mechanic at times, but there was no room for complaint. Despite these issues, her life was a 110% better than what it had been.

Dressed in a white tank top which was over a black bra, a pair of army green cargo pants with a black leather belt holding them up, and a pair of black army boots, Alisa was hard at work repairing a neglected Motorcycle engine. She could not believe how people would treat their property like shit. Then again, she came from nothing so when she got anything, she cherished and took care of it. Oh how she wished some of these bike owners could walk a mile in her shoes.

Brushing some of her long auburn hair out of her eyes, she attached a part to her wrench that would allow her to remove stripped bolts. Someone obviously tried to do a home-made repair on this bike, and just did more damage. Part of her wanted to call up the owner and yell at him to buy a new engine. The other part of her knew that with her mutant abilities, she could easily fix the engine... which would make a pretty penny for her, Nick, and the shop.

Turning to her little AM/FM radio she found, Alisa turned it to a rock station she had come to love, blasting "Unwritten Law's" song "Save Me" into the shop as she went back to work on the engine.

"Ennie be de only family I got, an' vice versa. But because we didn' 'ave any parents to guide us, we jus' clung to one an' other for support. An' 'as you siad, it wasn' very healthy. But de shrink says ah appeared to be de one who wasn' clingy, it was Ennie. An' when Ennie said something, ah practically said " 'ow high?". Now... well... it's nice to be able to make mah own choices an' do what ah wanna do. Ah don' feel smothered no more, but ah do sometimes get lonely."

Alisa managed to keep a faint smile as she spoke. "An' it's good to actually... you know, start to t'ink about men properly. Wit'out worryin' what mah broder would t'ink or 'ave him go into a rage. An' wit'out me feelin' guilty. Ah mean, ah still 'ave mah bad days, Nick, but who doesn' ."

She finally sat back up, leaning over to hold Nick's hand. " 'ey... you got me now. Well... ah ain' family... but ah dere for you like one. So are de other Champions!"

He muses on that. He gets along with the Champions ok, he genuinely likes most of them, but they aren't family. Alisa? Well, they understand one another. It could get there.

"Yeah, everyone has their down days, and you're doing worlds better. Its been nice to see."

"T'anks Nick, been workin' real hard to get dere." She kept her hand on his for a little while, then finally let go when their meals arrived. Alisa was a bit shocked at seeing Steak on her plate. Almost like a small child, she poked at it with her fork, before starting to cut it up. Her steak had a nice coat of "A1 Steak Sauce" on it already. She took her first bite, and then turned to Nick, fork still in her mouth.

"Wow... ah mean... dis beats a burger any day. Ah like it!" She started to practically devour her steak in front of Nick, as though she had never eaten before.

He digs into his own almost as eagerly. Its not the first time he's had this quality of food, but its still a rare treat.

"Glad you like it. Next time, its your treat." he teases.
