Evelyn was not used to hanging too much with the others outside of the hero arena, it felt the slightest bit odd to have arranged this little get together but here she was. And hopefully he would arrive soon. She checked her phone again, the text said he would be arriving shortly and that was a few minutes ago.
Until he arrived she'd been enjoying her coffee, she was on her third cup. dad would have scolded her for drinking too much of a stimulant. That sort of thing could effect her reflex reaction time. Unlike her father Evey was not work minded all the time, she was far more relaxed. At least relaxed at most circumstances, meeting a teammate outside of the school or 'work' setting was still a bit uneasy for her.
Carter was a powerhouse, she'd seen him fighting and he was impressive. She lacked his invulnerability but she also had skills and agility he lacked. the way she saw it they would make a pretty decent team up. Her dad had done similar things before and was actually the one who gave her the idea.
So here she was, asking Carter out for coffee so they could have a chance to talk without the ever present eyes and ears and sometimes minds, of the rest of the team.

"So this is going to sound a bit weird, but, I've been watching you." Yeah she was expecting the reaction there but she pressed forward. "You're good, I mean seriously good in the field. But you could use something to polish you. You're an excellent weapon but if you had something to fine tune you, you'd be amazing."
Ok, that was out there, time to give him a moment to react.

Between the two of us we have speed, power and," She quieted as someone walked by, resuming once they had passed. " Well I can do pretty much anything, given a chance to see it. It seems like a mutual beneficial idea. What do you think?"

She'd been inspired by the immediacy of the need for help and the fact that it was the fastest most direct method of attack at hand.

Date: 2011-10-17 04:44 am (UTC)She pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket, unfolded it and chew her cheek for a moment.
"Well we work well together, we don't have pre-existing animosity, our ability slash power sets are complementary, you've got an easy going personality and so do I, I have experience and resources, you have good taste in music, you're not afraid to improvise, you're not easily scared or intimidated."
She looked up, there was more but she thought that might have been a good enough example.
