Kalypso waited on the corner with the dozen or so other New Yorkers. Kal could have easily flown over to the caterers, but she liked doing things like normal people. She had spent eighteen years doing things the normal way and would continue to do them like normal people even though she had fancy powers. Kal didn’t like to draw attention to herself and left that to her mother. Sersi loved attention.

The light changed and Kal crossed the street with the rest of the pedestrians. The summer so far had been spent working for her mother. Sersi’s party planning business had really taken off and it meant the two of them were constantly busy. Kal had barely seen Jack this summer because her mother had kept her so busy.

Not that Kal minded so much. It was something to do and it kept Sersi from bugging her about college. Kalypso didn’t understand why her mother was pushing school so hard. It’s not like Kal needed to go to school. One, she had all the time in the world to learn things and two; she didn’t need to get a job to make money. She wasn’t as good at transmutation as her mother, but she was good enough to make lumps of gold.

Kal checked her watch. She only had a few more minutes to get to the caterers before they closed. She increased her pace.

Griffen had decided he was going to start ordering parts for new computer upgrades. It wasn't his thing but it had to be done. That was when he had noticed someone was already doing his job for him. That was a little surprise.

He smiled a little as he picked up one of the boxes to check out what was being installed. He gave a low whistle of geek approval as he wandered into the computer room. He looked up and had a moment of surprise.

"Miss Stark?" He blinks again then offers her a smile. "It's good to see you again. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

He doesn't seem as shy as he once was but then again the first time they met was in the middle of a crisis and the next time they were around each other was when the Defenders got called in. Griffen notes that they never really got to talk before.
