BWI - Portalocity Lounge [Friday Morning]

Chloe got off her flight from New York and followed the signs to the lounge. She dumped the duffle bag of clothes that Andrew had hastily purchased on the floor and slumped into one of the uncomfortable airport chairs.

She was still against this plan but she realized on the flight that sulking wouldn't make it any better so she was going to put on a brave face and make the most of it.

"Welcome to the big group of people I haven't named yet," Mirax greeted the new guy. "Help would be appreciated."

Okay, Bobby, stay cool. Only not, you know, that kind of cool. The metaphorical kind.

"We could start with naming me? Uh, I mean, I have a name. And I could tell you it. I'm Bobby, hi!"

"I would have named you Bobby anyway. Weird," she said without skipping a beat. "Mirax. I had nothing to do with naming me, though."

"Wasn't me, either," Bobby said, holding both hands in the air. "Mirax, huh? Where's that from? Like. Canada?"

"I'm not sure about the name, but I'm from Corellia. Which is probably nowhere near Canada." Mirax supposed she was going to have to get used to answering questions like that a lot. At least it should make conversations interesting. "And where are you from?"

Yeah, Bobby was just gonna assume Corellia was in Europe, then. Maybe it was near Latveria?

"Long Island. Or Westchester, more recently. Both of those are in New York," he added helpfully.

"Oh!" she said, nodding. "I have absolutely no idea where that is, but it sounds interesting."

"It's not, really," Bobby waved a hand dismissively. Except for the crazy evil mutants and things, but he wasn't supposed to talk about that! "The coffee shop was pretty much the only interesting place for miles, and I'm not allowed to drink more than one iced coffee a day anyway. Hank says it makes me too hyper," he made a face at that.

The way Mirax figured, she could ask questions for every word or phrase she didn't understand yet, liked iced cofee, or she could learn by inferrence. She'd go with the second thing. "Who's Hank?"

"Hank? Hank's kinda my best friend at boarding school. Well, my other boarding school. Not this one. I'm pretty sure he's the smartest guy on the planet, actually."

"You get two boarding schools? Lucky." No, she didn't mean that, which might have been obvious by the tone.

"The first one wasn't *bad*, just, you know, boring." Bobby had to admit. Definitely better than jail, anyway. "And I don't know, this place can't suck too much if *you're* here, right?" So smooth. So, so smooth.

That was pretty much what she was thinking, too. "I do tend to make things better. Natural skill," she joked. "But we're not there yet. You might want to reserve judgment."

"Reserve judgment, right," Bobby nodded. "I can do that. Unless they give us ice cream on the shuttle, in which case I'm gonna have to land firmly on the side of this place is awesome."

Mirax looked around. "There's got to be somewhere around that has it. You know, just in case they don't have it handy. There's nothing wrong with a little contraband."

"I think I saw some vending machines out in the hall," Bobby offered. "Should we go check it out?"

"I think we should. This way, we win no matter what," she reasoned.

"Excellent!" Bobby grinned. "Mission: Ice Cream is a go!"
