Truth be told, she was a little overwhelmed.
The decision she made to find a way out of her depression - with the help of a newly hired therapist - was not one she made easily. It was enough of a struggle most days to try and keep the self-doubt at bay. To attempt that and ward away the depression? Her success rate the last number of months was poor, to say the least.
But she knew she had to find a way, especially now with the Registration Act repealed. Young mutants around the country needed to see older mutants in a more prominent role, having a positive impact on society. And maybe showing they could have a little fun as well. Even if she did not feel ready to take the steps back into the world - would she ever, really? - it was necessary. She was one of the more famous mutants in the world. It was her duty to fight her demons and show the world a smile.
And a light show.
She walked slowly through the crowds in the store, taking in the newest clothing and jewelry styles. She hadn't looked at a computer recently and figured she was pretty out of touch with the latest and greatest. She could not afford that as a performer. So here she was, looking to see if there was anything she could fall head-over-heels in love with to buy and take home with her.
