Calm

Mary bit her lip as she came in through the backdoor of the house. Wren and Ovelia were sparring in the back to give her some time alone with Peter so that she could do as she had promised yesterday, but now she had to come up with how exactly she would do that. After all, she wasn’t like Ovelia and trained in getting answers out of people discreetly. She was supposed to stalk in the shadows, eavesdrop, and stay out of sight. Maybe with a couple more years she would have been trained like Ovelia, but she had come into the program too late for that.

Fortunately, she had a chance to think in the garage. It was maybe two steps from the backdoor to the door to the kitchen, but that didn’t mean the space between was only for that. No, Mary could easily see fitting a car in the garage along with the amenities that currently lined the walls. On the left wall were rather sparse, rows upon rows of empty shelves. On her right, there was a cupboard sunk into the wall next to the door leading inside, before then a long workbench that likely was used by Peter’s father, rather than Peter himself. With its space and length though, it would make a good place for Wren to make bombs on, or for any of them to make modifcations to their weapons with. In fact, the whole place would make for a good bomb shelter of sorts…

For a moment Mary stood still as her mind drifted off, her own thoughts silencing. It was one of the remnants of her past that the facility hadn’t wiped out entirely. In this state, she would start imagining her thoughts, rather than keeping them as words, and so would begin to space out. It was considered acceptable due to her abilities, but it was something that happened now as she saw her team working on their arsenal. It began to shift though, with them jumping around the garage, springing off of the shelves, the ceiling, the single bicycle in the room, and Aladdin even joined for a moment as her eyes gained a green glow.

And then the green overwhelmed her as she grabbed her head and shut her eyes, clearing the thoughts before it became more powerful than the pickaxe that slammed into her skull. She wasn’t actually using it, so… So why now? Why with these thoughts? What made them special?

“Aladdin…”

She blinked a few times, finally realizing what she could use to help get her and Peter talking casually and dashed into the house. She still didn’t know how she would bring up Ovelia without raising suspicions, but… But maybe Peter was truly that good? Would let her bring it up and not get upset or become more suspicious of Ovelia?

The green liked those thoughts.

And so she hopped over the stair railing and fell beside Peter, bouncing on the couch as he screamed, chucking his controller into the wall behind them, before it ricocheted into the coffee table and fell to the floor.
