Amid the chaos... an interlude.
Who: Cassie, OT all
Where: Shooting Star Comics
When: Tuesday evening
The young girl was an anomaly, that was for sure. Cassie Allen had been born with a gift... the gift of a superhuman mind, one that could speed-read, and memorize instantly anything that she read. Of course, said knowledge tended to vanish over time if she didn't continually use it, but it was still an amazing thing to have. In fact, it enabled her to be about to enter her senior year of high school, even though she was barely 15.
Of course, knowing what we know about these parts... there's always a backstory. In this case, her father had been working for Wolfram & Hart, and was planning on using the girl as a sacrifice. She had been saved, her father killed in the fight. Things seemed to turn out for the good, as she inherited a good deal of money from him, which she used to open and co-own Shooting Star Comics along with Bette Matthews, the daughter of the woman who was acting as Cassie's new foster mother.
Since the 'Crisis', when everybody's memory had been mucked with, Cassie was fairly friendless. While a pretty young girl, she was still mostly among people older than her, that had no interest in hanging out with a kid. But she lept her spirits high, as usual. Today, she wandered through the store she co-owned, slowly gliding through on her skateboard, loudly chewing a piece of bubble gum. At least the new coffee shop next door was bringing in some new business...
