“You were supposed to say everything’s great, and nothing else will ever go wrong again.” Cindy teased with a half smile before she sighed and shook her head slightly. Leaving her bunker was something she knew was going to be hard, but this hard? Trying to figure out where her family was, juggling a new job and being a superhero at night? It just made Cindy want to retreat to comfort, which unfortunately was still the bunker. None of her friends really knew about that yet, so when Jess asked if she wanted to go pick up her kid, Cindy couldn’t even hide her smile at the chance to not go home to an empty bunker for once. “Not unless yours bites. Then I’m gonna have to pass.”
“Everything’s great and nothing will go wrong again.” Jessica tried out the words but they felt disingenuous. She preferred to be blunter and did her best to avoid being unkind. She grabbed her coat off the chair and slipped the leather jacket on, feeling glad to be in this uniform instead of the full body spandex. “Well, he – he bites sometimes? We always tell him no. He’s more into energy bursts.” Holding up a hand, Jessica let green energy begin to glow. “Like mother, like son. Anyway, I can’t swing because I don’t do the webbing thing so I have to take my bike. Feel free to follow any way you like.”
