[ Emily stops when she sees someone flying toward her. FLYING! (please pause for internal squee and why doesn't she have her phone she needs to take a PICTURE STAT!)

She watches for a second, and then it occurs to her that she... doesn't actually know what to do. Back home, she'd have just watched as he flew past. And in Charm City, everyone just kind of... waits until the hero stuff is done. Or villain stuff, since it's usually Jack O'Lantern.

She's never been this close to a superhero that isn't Crimson Fox. How is she supposed to act?

Cool, Emily. You're supposed to act cool.

Or, as she likes to think, she's supposed to rock being herself.

So she moves a little to the side so he has room to fly around and smiles as she waits for him to pass.

Only he doesn't.

And he's speaking to her?

This. Is. The. Best. Day. She's met her second superhero ever and he's checking to see if she needs help! Not even Crimson Fox does that!

Okay. One little outer squee. And a jump of excitement. Heroes like to know they're appreciated, right? Right.

Oh, hell, she hopes he's a hero and not a villain. But he's got to be a hero, right? He hasn't done any property damage yet and he's been around for seconds. ]

Are you a hero? Not that I mind. I've totally met heroes before. [ She sets her hands on her hips, unable to resist looking proud of herself. ] Crimson Fox. Met her. Multiple times. [ Oooh la la, right Mr. Hero? ]

Oh! I'm Emily. From R & D! Is there anything I can help you with? I mean, I'm kind of lost, but once I find out where I am, I can totally help!
