AU - This is What Happens When You Don't Keep People Informed
Lisa was enjoying her afternoon off. Julian's secretary had informed him he'd stepped out for a few hours, so she'd taken it upon herself to slip into something less comfortable but a lot more interesting, and wait for him in his office. She made herself comfortable, setting herself up in his chair with the laptop he'd gotten her, and a bottle of good scotch.

Lisa retreats into snark, even if its at herself, to cope with the situation. "Yeah... we both just sailed right on past that obvious solution, didn't we?" She puts her palm to her face, then shakes her head.

She'll stand, if Julian's little construct will let her.

"I'm sorry... I... I fucked up." Her lips practically rebel against the apology, but she gets it out.

She looks between him and Minnie. "What can I do?"

Julian just looks at Minnie and Lisa and a part of him feels odd about this turn of events. If he'd just spoken up sooner, this might not have happened. Perhaps they both might have understood and maybe they'd have become friends.

Or, if not friends, they would at least learn to tolerate each other for his sake.

Julian doesn't know what /guilt/ is by name, but he knows he could have handled this better. Still, the damage to his office and the spilled Scotch on the carpet make him angry.

He releases the bands from both of them.

"You both need to leave me alone for the night. I need some time to calm down." Julian says, using his powers to start righting a few fallen items. Most of his office is metallic, aiding him in doing so.

	Minnie rises much more slowly than Lisa. "Yes, Julian," she says quietly, not looking up, before turning to Lisa, still not looking up. "I'm sorry, Miss Graves. I was... wrong" She leaves for her room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I... I understand." She responds to Julian, before turning to Minnie.

"I'm sorry too... and call me Lisa, if you want."

She heads for the door, looking over her shoulder as she goes. "I'll pick up a bottle for you on the way in tomorrow. G'night, boss." She was so used to calling him that to tease him, but right now it felt... well, desperate.

She draws herself up, and marches out, then through the mostly dispersed crowd, body language daring any of them to comment.
