Stuck at home with nasty flu.

Feeling a bit homicidal. No, really.

Who wants to cheer me up?

I'm willing to try. Not great at humor, but I've been told I;m not bad company.

I've been told I'm a bit off in the humor department, so you might just succeed in making me laugh. As long as you're not afraid of germs.

Nope, not afraid at all.

I'm a geek, and a telekinetic, so all you have to worry about it me being able to do two things at once and geeking out at you.

Two things at once? I can only imagine how useful that can be. Guess I'm pretty boring in comparison. I've just got the ability to drink an elephant under the table.

Heh, well, considering I can get drunk on the fumes alone, I think that might rank up there as an Olympic level skill.

I can bring by comfort foods, if you can keep anything down?

Chicken soup with rice is always good. It's really very sweet of you to offer. I could probably make my assistant go out and get it for me, since I have one of those here.

I'm Athena, by the way.

Cool!

I can bring it if you like, on my way. No worries.

I'm Vance Astrovik.

Thank you, Vance. I'll owe you one.

Nah. We all need something sometime. Helping each other is a good thing.

Young idealism. I miss that.

Oh?

Well, you're still young, you know. It's never too late to be ideal.

Young is a state of mind, one that I grew out of a long time ago. But I like that you have faith in people. It's refreshing to not be confronted with more cynicism.

I just believe in doing what's right ma'am. In justice. And that only works when it is applied to everyone.

Doing what's right is one of the highest fundamental values in any society. Unfortunately, ours - or at least, mine - has a graying mentality on what constitutes "right". Especially when it comes to justice.

And please don't call me ma'am.

Yes, Ma--, er... okay.

I think people willingly blind themselves, but Justice is never invisible, nor out of view, if one is willing to see it. Every society faces that test... and sad it is, but true, that most fail it.

Just call me Athena. I'd hate to think I was scaring you, or something.

And believe me, I know. I spent a good portion of my life working for justice. I think I was lucky if two out of three cases got a conviction.

Oh, no. I was just taught to be respectful, is all. Athena it is.

I hope that life here will be better for you, then.

We'll see. I was never a fan of corporate life, although I have to admit that some of the perks are kind of nice.

Maybe you can choose a new life?

I suppose I could. But I've done a lot of changing in the past couple years. It might be nice to stick with something for a while.

What about you? Did you end up changing from what you were before?

Yes and no.

On the one hand, I am still a student, but on the other hand, I dropped into the life of a business owner and am trying to manage that with a little help from a pro management team.

It's a little jarring, but... I like it.

I don't think so, really. I just dont want to ruin what was this business, just because I am not trying hard enough.

Hey, if it was me, I'd have probably sold the place and been done with it. So, you know, extra points for you there.

Well, if you decide you want to go that way? I'm sure this company I've landed myself in might be wiling to negotiate something. At least, I think they'd be.

Are you KIDDING?! I'm THRILLED to see you! OH MY GOD, Aunt Athena, you wouldn't BELIEVE what's happened! First? Pregnant. I'm PREGNANT. I'm MARRIED. I got married. In the DARK AGES, Auntie Thene. The DARK AGES. To KITT! Did Mom ever tell you about Kitt? Oh, God, Mom.

Who's Kitt?

Well, I was pregnant before I got here. I'm due in September. Kitt is... well, he's a man, now. He WAS a 1982 Trans-Am. Gorgeous, really.

The man or the car?

And where the hell is your mother so I can yell at her for not telling me ANY of this? Christ.

I have no idea. I haven't seen her in months.

Well, you certainly know how to pick them.

Well, we were together before the ... tornado thing. Last I heard she was stuck with the FBI in Quantico. Of course, knowing Shan, she very well could have busted her way out of there and be halfway across the world by now.

... you didn't know that? I would have figured you'd find each other by cosmic locator, or something.
