With Sydney in SHIELD medical and turning into a bug, Elise's birthday almost pass unnoticed. Almost. Thankfully Anya caught it and was able to get her something. A Visa gift card with $250 on it. Elise had arrived with the clothes on her back and Anya knew she could use more clothes. Shopping was never a bad thing.

Along with the gift card and a card left in her room, there was a big chocolate cake on the counter with her name on it. And a warning that if anyone else ate it they would suffer dire consequences.

May loved that ESU had a full selection of summer courses that she could take to knock a couple of gen-eds out of the way. What she loved even more was that she could live on campus (and not have to worry about her nosy roommate), and not have to get up at the crack of dawn to take the subway from Queens to barely get to class on time.

However...she didn't get to spend as much time with Ben as she would like. And after what happened to Sidonie, well, let's just say that she was worried about her little brother even more than she normally was. It wasn't everyday that you saw one of your best friends murdered in front of your eyes.

He needed to get out. And May knew just what to do.

She texted Ben.

Hey twerp, lunch at Big Nick's? My treat.
