Repose

[Gwen was super worried. She'd experienced the sensation before, but not to this extent. This was something new, and she'd never been worried enough before that she had trouble focusing on things around her, and she was totally having trouble with that now. She'd tried to read, after returning to the apartment following her walk, but she'd kept reading the same sentence over and over. She'd tried to sleep, but her mind had kept persistently racing whenever she closed her eyes. All she could think about was the next morning in the lab, and about what she was going to do if the head scientist said she couldn't leave again.

As a result, she was up and dressed as soon as the sky began to lighten. She waited for Jason in white medical scrubs, sneakers and a green hoodie, and she was totally going to make super time getting to the facility once he arrived (that was the plan). But she kind of became impatient, and she started walking before Jason was even scheduled to arrive. She figured he would be able to track her, because she wasn't careful about trampling the grass, and he was kind of a super spooky vigilante, right? She even left breadcrumbs (from the toast she was nibbling on), because they did that in a fairy tale (and because it made her laugh).

So, anxious, she waited outside the facility fence and cooled her heels as she prepared to enter the maw of darkness that was the League part of Area-52.]
