[ She's been working herself hard. Maybe too hard: she spends hours a day in the gym, sometimes as many as eight when she's not sleeping. She's read books on how to get in shape quickly and safely - more or less - and she's pushing herself as far as she can go. Trying to find her limits.
Today, she can also be found coming out of the CTS with Kelsier, bruised and mussed and a little bloody, and grinning ear to ear. If you're trying to impress me, it's working, he tells her, and she kisses him on the cheek and flushes bluer and makes her way to the Infirmary to make sure she's got nothing worse than bruises.
She hasn't reached her physical limits yet, but emotional is a different story. Being a child again, with that faith in Charles, has shaken her. Her conversation with Charles before that shook her. And sometimes, even when she's feeling fine - maybe when she's feeling the most fine, paradoxically - she starts crying. And sometimes she can't stop. Tucking herself into a corner of the gardens and trying to muffle the sounds of it so no one catches her at it. It's embarrassing, and she can always eventually manage to pull herself together and make it back to her room. ]

What's something you've done here, for the first time? Or thought or realized, for the first time.

And you're a...you know. And I'm not. Doesn't that matter?
To you, I mean. It doesn't mean anything to me.
[Private]
Yeah. It matters.

Who else would stick to us?

I mean, my pack accepts me, even though my DNA's too fucked to turn into a werewolf. Human forever.

Uhm. You might be pretty....fucked for a while.
Have you heard of the Avengers? Look them up. If and...when they get formed, or whatever.
