Red paused for a moment to give Mr. McHarris a small acknowledging nod of his head. He held back the small smile that threatened to form on his lips as a sense of relief washed over him. It seemed like at the minimum, his journey into the realm of sports had opened the man up a tiny bit. Based on how he finished their small conversation, it appeared that he had at least earned the man's confidence, as there was no hint of doubt in his voice this time. He knew his job would only get more difficult should he have failed to earn that much, and while it was far from putting him on friendly terms with the man, he at least didn't have to worry about him demanding a replacement.
Content, Red did as Aislinn instructed and took a large bite of the meal in front of him. His eyes widened as it first hit his taste buds, the flavor almost intoxicating as he fought off the urge to immediately take another bite. While he wasn't as comfortable with eating in such a manner, he wasn't oblivious to etiquette required when in the presence of someone like Aislinn or her family. His training with Lycan hadn't been completely centered on combat after all. He at least was knowable in proper manners that were to be followed in an environment such as this, and thus made sure to slowly eat at his meal and ensure he didn't make any kind of mess. Still, it took a few moments to recall which sort of silverware was supposed to be used with the different types of dishes, a small error he hoped the others didn't notice.
The meal went by rather uneventfully, with only occasional soft remarks being made in between bites. Red stole a few glances towards Aislinn throughout the meal, a sense of uncertainty present in him as he she seemed oblivious to his plight. It still seemed strange to him that a proper girl like herself would be interested in taking on a monster like Marionette, even with the familial connection. Thinking on the matter, he could only guess at what sort of lifestyle he'd live if he were in her same situation. While he would like to think that he'd be just as committed if not more, he also couldn't deny the fact that the comfortable life afforded by her wealth would be a tempting offer. An interesting girl indeed, Red thought to himself as he finished the last of his meal.
As their meal concluded, Red waited patiently for Aislinn to cue for their exit, taking care as to ensure he didn't have any remnants of his meal either on his face or on his clothes via a few dabs of his large napkin.

Hey Jason. It's Know-It-All from earlier today. I just wanted to say that I'm incredibly sorry about everything, and I want to make it up to you. You and your folks aren't in any trouble. We're all perfectly willing to just let this go and let bygones be bygones.
Call me crazy, but I don't believe you.
Right. Haven't given you much reason to trust me. Tell you what. You know that deli across the street from your place? Let's meet there tomorrow at lunch. 11:30 ish. Public place. Only my neck on the line. Anything happens, and you can kill me on the spot.
Fine. But if I even catch a whiff of trouble, you're dog meat.
Fair enough. See you tomorrow!

October 26th
Thankfully, Angelica calmed down somewhat after some verbal easing, a few deep breaths from her chest becoming audible over the light whistling of the breeze outside the window. Whitney was still kind of surprised that it had, well...worked. After how badly she had melted down when she had learned about what had gone down at the mall, she wasn't expecting her clearest and most level-headed thoughts to come from a never-ending caffeine rush in the middle of the night. Sure, she was doing literally everything in whatever little power she had left to not do what she had done that eternity ago, but still, it felt weird. It felt even weirder as she began to slouch over in her chair, her fight-or-flight finally fading away and leaving her numbly nodding in response to Angelica's compliments as they flowed in. There was a growing lump in her throat, but she forced it down and washed it away with more coffee, which also did just enough to keep her lids open without any conscious effort on her part. It had been a long day, and a long night too. Way too long on both counts, and she wasn't quite sure if she was ready for the next one.
She was shocked out of her thoughts by a lull in Angelica's words, and when Whitney refocused her eyes on the other side of the table, she could see a flash of pain cross the other girl's face, followed by something about telling her another time. She hadn't come to long enough to recognize what Angelica had even said, what she didn't want to share. Maybe it wasn't important. At least, Whitney hoped she hadn't just ignored something important. Another lump was forming in her sore throat out of embarrassment as she mulled over the missing piece in their jigsaw puzzle, but she politely coughed it away. It probably didn't matter, she was obsessing over stupid things, as usual. Her new friend was probably too exhausted to remember a thing by this point, and she would probably rather sleep than explain every bad memory in her head like some weirdly juvenile therapy session. Sleep without dreams, just like she said.
"Not on me right now, no." Whitney groaned in response to Angelica's question, running a free hand through her hair as she leaned back in her chair and let a slow stream of air escape her lips. "I made a pill a while ago to help me get to sleep when I was too restless, but I left the bottle in my room. It's on...my nightstand. Or my bathroom counter, I can't remember which one...would you be up to taking the trip up there?"

Hey Jason, I'm going to be very quick about this. Fixer got back to me, and he was VERY happy. I've never seen him that excited, yelled lots of big medical words. The TL;DR is that he was to buy it off of you. Before you say no, PLEASE hear our offer. I have a feeling you're going to like it.

It had only taken a couple of minutes before someone had answered the door. It wasn't Naja as I was expecting rather it was someone unfamiliar which led to a few assumptions about who was at the door. A seller of cookies or a fan boy hoping to get a date with one of the more popular female members of the team. My mind briefly flashed back to the debacle in the gym when I had first met Shi at the mention of the Red Princess being out of my league and I cringed inwardly ever so slightly. Regardless it was made abundantly clear that the man had no idea as to who I was. Not really a surprise as he likely joined the team after my departure and I was only involved with the Yeebees for a few weeks and on one mission which...I did not play any major part of. I took just a few moments to consider how I should explain my presence or lack thereof to the dark skinned teen hero.
"You must be a newer member so you wouldn't know. I used to be on the team here, albeit briefly. Must have left just before you joined. I used to go by Spectrum and I don't have any powers at all. I just came by hoping to catch up with some of the team if they are here. Or perhaps Naja if no one else is here." I gave a brief pause there before remembering that I forgot to actually inform me man of my name.
"Ah, forgot. I'm Scott Green...so umm could I come in or should I come back later?" The man seemed to be in a less than pleasant mood from being stirred from his nap so I really had no idea how he would react to my explanation. If he believed me at all. I stood there a moment expecting to be told to get lost or maybe summon Naja so he could confirm my story. So I simply stood there until he figured out if he bought what I was selling.

While Angelica went about cleaning the library with about the same level of human energy as Cass, Whitney focused her efforts on pulling her own area back into order, pushing in her chair, handing off her mug to Angelica, and turning around to open the heavy door barring the library from the main corridor. She could barely feel herself grabbing the handle, and getting the damn thing open was even harder, requiring what felt like her entire body weight and all of the strength she could muster. After some negotiating and and an uncomfortable amount of heat flowing into her face, she was able to slip through the gap between the door and the frame and get it to swing fully open with the help of her shoulder. Must be that she was tired, she always felt weak after an all-nighter. Dizzy too, the extra caffeine helped wake her up a bit, but it also left her feeling hollow, like everything in her brain had checked out but the machine on the outside was still pumping. Leaning against the cold surface of the door was the only thing that fixed her in place, kept her upright. The chill instantly acted as an ice pack on her flush, and it was just nice to have something to lean on.
Another one of those somethings slowly began to wrap itself around Whitney's shoulders and back, warmly pressing on her collarbone. A something that came with a very thick splash of blonde. The taller girl was frozen with surprise for a moment before awkwardly returning the hug, extending a thin limb to drape over Angelica's shoulders and pat her on the back. Even as the shorter girl's words came, she looked dazed and confused at the sensation, only really mustering up a sluggish smile as the two pulled apart to look at one another. Once the feeling actually set in, it was...nice. Comforting. Not many people hugged her like that anymore, not people her age anyways. She missed the feeling. She missed it a lot.
All good things had to come to an end eventually though, and their bubble burst with a massive yawn ripping out of Angie's mouth. Whitney could only chuckle in response before an echo yawn of her own took over, pulling her sleepy charge away from her and shifting the girl to the side. "Alright, now your bed can be there for you, 'kay?" she said with a growing grin, already beginning to herd her escort out of the room with a hand on the other girl's back. Maybe she pushed too hard. Before they even stepped foot into the corridor, Angie practically tripped over her own feet, pitching over and dropping into Whitney's side. The force would've probably bowled the both of them over if Angie hadn't caught herself on Whitney's arm, using the log to pull herself upright. Despite not doing anything in the slightest, she even received a thank-you...addressed to someone named "Rika".
"See, now you're just hallucinating things." Whitney said with a smirk, giving the shorter girl an extra push to get her moving. The two were finally able to peel out of the library, the door swinging shut behind them with a satisfying click and leaving them both on the dimly lit world of the Tower's skeleton of hallways. "Let's get you upstairs. Looks like you really need that pill ASAP, huh?"
