The thing about outer space was that (while it was very often beautiful and wondrous) at the end of the day it was a void. It could be empty, and it could be lonely. Karolina had just gotten off a quick orbital rotation of a planet that SWORD wanted to keep an eye on, and upon setting foot on terra firma, her first instinct was to find someone to catch up with. While her first thought was America, a quick text yielded no immediate response, which meant her bruiser babe was probably preoccupied or sleeping. She was closest to Gert and Chase's apartment, so she decided that would be her first stop.
She popped into a local bodega to pick up some orange juice and cinnamon swirl bread, a peace offering for showing up at someone's door before noon. She stopped briefly to take a picture with a fan before buzzing to be let up into the apartment.
People watching as she waited, she couldn't help but feel a little pang of sadness. It was a nice day out, and life seemed to be moving on from Xavier's shooting. She just always felt a bit removed from things when coming back from space. She knew the people closest to her were very stressed about what happened, but Brand was really trying to knock into their heads that it was a massive universe. None of it stopped because of the problems on one tiny blue planet. She supposed the message was meant to be rousing. Mostly, it just bummed her out.
