Tim did the one thing most people do when they didn't want to think; he threw himself into his work. He spent the past week in his lab working on projects. When he was working he wasn't thinking about things like feelings and whatnot. Life was better that way.

Korra had been doing a lot of thinking, lately. On her eighteenth birthday, she'd asked her parents to allow her to join a superhero team, to allow her to spend more time on the surface, and so she could be a hero like her cousin and older sister. Her parents agreed, under the condition that she either join Alpha Flight, with her sister, or the Avengers with her cousin, Mackenzie. Korra had given it a lot of thought, and decided on Alpha Flight, her sister's team.

Now came the hard part. Seeing if they'd actually let her on the team. Korra had butterflies in her stomach thinking about it, but she wasn't going to wait around any longer. While she was at her mother's house one day, she called her sister, Nim. She'd talk to her about coming out and at least visiting the team, first.

Alice did not like how mopey her cousin had been lately. She knew Tim was feeling a little blue lately, and she was going to fix that. She'd made a call to the Baxter Building, and set Tim up on a blind date with Valeria Richards of the Future Foundation. She was cute. She was nerdy, and she loved science. Perfect for Tim. He deserved a nice girl. And if he if also got laid in the process, then that was pretty awesome for him, too.

Alice made her way to the lab when she knew that Tim would be there by himself. She walked in, grinning from ear to ear.

"Hey, Timmy!"

Nope. Totally not up to something at all, not her.
