characters: Paige Guthrie, OTA.
setting: Early morning, New York City
content: Tame.
summary: Paige is running a little late to work.
"'Scuse me ladies and gents, but y'all gotta move!" A circle of folks scattered in utter bemusement as a blur of blonde zipped right through them. Clutching the beanie slipping off her head, Paige hurried through the New York traffic of people, the bag slung over her shoulder whipping around in the air behind her. Ohgodohgodohgod she was gonna be late. Who was she kidding? She was late, and her boss wasn't the type that took kindly to teeny tiny mistakes like slamming the snooze button dozens of times until saying the heck with it and unplugging the alarm altogether or missing the bus after realizing the name tag was still on the table, or stopping to get a croissant and cup of hot chocolate from the cafe because there wasn't enough time to stop by the cafeteria -- and, okay, maybe that last bit could've waited, but what person can sell shoes on an empty stomach?!
Not this one.
"Outta mah way, please and thank ya!" Paige waved a hand over her head before grabbing onto a frosted light post to swing around (and keep from falling on her face) onto the next street. She wasn't usually so irresponsible, but the teenager had worked incredibly hard the day before, and between work, class, training, and the occasional mission on a regular basis she just supposed her body was telling her to take a break. And she would! Just...not right now because time sure as heck wasn't and she really really need to get to-- "Oof!" Paige's shoulder clashed into something -- or was it someone? -- and she staggered back, falling flat on her behind. This was just great! And if she didn't think this morning could get any worse, it just did because she was pretty sure it was water her pants were absorbing.
