Tall skinny mocha and a muffin.

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.

Again Carter was laughing, "Oh that's awesome." And it was just perfect. "Mine is Iron Man, by Black Sabbath. For obvious reasons."

"Really? You don't look like a Stark." She snickered and leaned her cheek on her hand. "I mean that in a good way. You're cute and not all... ego."

And apparently good taste in music, who knew?

[walking_alchemy_lab]

Carter grinned, "Heheh, thanks. You're pretty cute yourself." He said, finishing off his coffee.

Her taste in music was pretty good too.

"Good genes." Oh there was a joke in and of itself, given that few people aside from her mom had ever even seen her dad without an image inducer. So looks couldn't really be judged there all that much, but her mother was quite pretty.

"So, cool. I actually had this whole list of reasons we would be good to work together in case you needed convincing."

[walking_alchemy_lab]

Carter raised an eyebrow, "Really? Like?" He was a little curious. He was already sold, just thought this could be interesting.

[task_two]

Ok, well if he was going to call her on it....

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.

[walking_alchemy_lab]

"Heheh, you really put a lot of thought into this." Carter said, not exactly surprised.

[task_two]

"What did you think I was going to say? Because you're cute?" She laughed, and finished her coffee.

"That was way down the list."

[walking_alchemy_lab]

Carter smiled again, "Heheh, well I figured it be somewhere on there." He quipped.

[task_two]

"Number twenty three. Right after' bathes regularly' and before 'not lactose intolerant.'"

That was a joke, with any luck his sense of humor was as good as she thought.

[walking_alchemy_lab]

Carter laughed, enjoying the rapport. "Why would the lactose intolerant thing even be on the list?" He asked jokingly.

[task_two]

She gave him a look of shock.

"Uuhh post battle ice cream fest, duh."

[walking_alchemy_lab]

Carter feigned disbelief. "How could I forget?!" He said, chuckling a bit
