[Darcy wakes up to the sound of chaos in her apartment. She is staying in her room or, at the very least, going out the window if she has any desire to leave.]

Anyone wanna come over and see what the hell is destroying my living room? Because I am pretty sure there is something out there and it sounds kind of pissed.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yep.

[She walks to the door, pressing her ear against it, even though it was more for show. The noise outside was obvious.] And he's still going. Wonder how long he'll take before he breaks down a door.

[Carol had little doubt that Aradia was fine, trolls are tough, so she doesn't worry about her.

Her squishy human friend, however, is another matter.]

Hopefully it isn't this one. I take it Aradia might be a little mad if I go out there and punch it.

Yeah, that would be nice. I'm not in the mood to find out what happens when that goes down.

[Then she grins, walking over to Carol and prodding her] Although, I gotta say seeing you punch him in the face would be kind of awesome.

Why don't we get you out of here just to be safe.

[She smirks] I've been told it's pretty cool to watch me punch things.

You know, I think that's the best idea i've heard all day. [She gives a wary look towards the door] I'm not really big on being a chew toy.

[She laughs[ I'd believe it. I'd put money on you over just about anything.

Alright, come on then.

[Carol picks up Darcy with ease and heads for the window.]

We haven't really talked much recently anyways. Wanna see the new Avenger's base?

Ooooh, new base you say? Lead the way! [She grins, looking pleased to be getting the hell out of range of the y'know, dinosaur.]

I don't have anything interesting to report on my end, so I hope you've been living it up.

[Carol takes off through the window, making sure to stay at a speed Darcy would find comfortable.]

Yeah, about living it up. You know the older Strider? Works at the high school, most people call him Bro?

I've heard of him.

...Why? Carol? Did you punch him? Or sleep with him?

Both. But not close to each other. I mean, we've been sparing partners for a while now...

So you remember when everyone swapped ages?

...Niiiiiiiice.

Yeah, I remained in tact through that one. Wound up hiding in the apartment from all the weirdness.

We kinda hooked up while we were both horny teenagers. When I asked him about it he suggested a repeat performance.

[She smirked]

Couldn't exactly say no.

[Darcy arches her eyebrows, studying Carol for a moment, then nods approvingly.] Well, look at you. Go Carol. I'd high five you but yeah.

High five me when we land.

[Speaking of, Carol starts an easy descent over the warehouse district.

Once they touch down she puts Darcy down and opens up an unmarked warehouse.]

[Although Darcy was not uneasy when they took off, she looks happy to settle on the ground again.[

I hope it's more impressive on the inside than the outside. [She grins, nudging her lightly.]

[Normal for first time flyers.

Carol lets Darcy into the first tiny room]

This is the reception area where people who have things they want us to take care of wait. And back here...[She goes over to the door and punches in her key to the number pad. There's a soft click and the door opens] is the training area and lounge. If we ever get any scientist we'll have to figure something out for a lab, but for now this will do.

[Inside is the rest of the warehouse. A large arena already sporting a few battle scars take up most of the area while at the far end is a lofted lounge area.]

So?

[She looks around, studying the area and nodding Very cool. [Taking a few steps into the arena area, she looks around her.] You guys need a receptionist? I'm not much for heroing but fuck if I can't battle the evils of paperwork and smalltalk.

I'm not going to say no.

[They'd put in a receptionist area just in case, though Carol hadn't been getting her hopes up.]

We can't pay you yet, but you'll get a cut of all the free food we're offered.

[She grinned.] That works for me. Fee food is always a bonus.

Well, I guess that makes you an honorary member of the Avengers then.

Score!

Do we get t-shirts? If not, I vote we get t-shirts.

The brightly colored uniforms typically negated the need for t-shirts, but if you want to get one go ahead.

Okay, this is true. Maybe I'll pass on the t-shirts.

You can have a costume if you want. Lady Reception or something like that.

Yes, this would be amazing. I fight the evils of paperwork and bitchy customers or something. It would be perfect.
