WHO: Eve Richards and OPEN.
WHAT: Coffee.
WHERE: A coffee shop near the Baxter Building. Manhattan.
WHEN: April 15.
RATING: Probably low.
It wasn't that Eve didn't love her work. She did. She more than loved it. Her research was fascinating and gave her as much purpose as being a superhero did. More really. As much as she enjoyed working with her siblings and helping people, she couldn't guarantee she would have taken as active a role in things if her abilities had been more passive. Fighting just wasn't something she enjoyed. It was necessary, to be sure, and she wasn't exactly a pacifist, but she also wasn't thrilled at the idea of things having to be so physical. She wanted to help people with science, not violence. Still, she did what she had to. And sometimes, she had to admit that it was a little fun to put on a costume and fly off into danger.
But she'd got a little off track even in her head. She loved her work. She just occasionally needed a break. Mostly for caffeine. She was pretty certain that she could live off of just caffeine and be perfectly happy, though she'd yet to test this hypothesis. Now, she was standing in her favorite coffee shop, just a few short blocks from the Baxter Building, waiting for her order to come up. She smoothed her skirt and checked her watch, glad that it was finally starting to warm up a little. "Iced hazelnut macchiato for Richards," she heard and smiled as she moved to pick it up and gave the barista a quiet thank you before retreating to one of the outside tables to drink it and read a book. No reason to go straight back to work when the weather was finally nice enough to enjoy it.
