"Now where... shit. Shit shit shit." Tayla jiggled the knob of the apartment she was sharing with Felicity. It was nice, having a place to come back to that wasn't an abandoned warehouse. Nice of course, when you remembered to bring your keys with you when you went out pounding the streets (and minor thugs) for information about the tyrant she spent four years suffering under. But here she was, clad in nothing but her haptic suit, which itself was covered in a layer of dirt and grime, possibly some spatters of thug blood, and stuck outside the place she was calling home. Tayla swore to never go without pockets again. She crouched down and looked at the lock. She knew Felicity would be pissed if she just kicked it in, not to mention how their landlord would take it. Tayla had no idea when Felicity was going to be back either. She rubbed her chin and looked around. "Hm. I should be able pick this if I can find... got it!" She picked up a small wire off the ground. "Awesome. I'll be chopping up the green onions for my pizza sauce in seconds." Five minutes later, Tayla was still jimmying and giggling the wire in the lock. "Damn it. Why does our home have to be so secure!" She sighed and reached up near her ear, activating her mask. "The lenses should help me see in there so I can get that blasted third pin right. Now I just need to..." "AAAAAH! THIEF! BURGLAR! TRESPASSER!" "What?" Tayla turned just in time to see a middle aged woman, hair cut in the typical "Karen" fashion, hurtling towards her. "CITIZENS ARRESSSST!" "What the fuuuuuAAAAGH!" Tackled to the floor, with a middle aged woman on top of her, flailing like mad to get Tayla's arms contained, Tayla soon found that she was in trouble. "Grace! Grace it's me! Tayla! DAMNIT GRACE I LIVE HERE!" "I'M NOT LETTING YOU INVADE THOSE NICE YOUNG LADIES' HOME!" "DAMNIT GRACE!" Tayla hated to think it, but she really hoped that someone would come along to help her soon. Once Grace got her mind set on something, she never let go. And right now, she had a firm grip on Tayla's hair. "SOMEBODY HELP!" 'YOU DON'T GET TO ASK FOR HELP, SNEAK THIEF!" "DAMNIT GRACE!"

[attr="class","miguelespinosa-ly-2"]forever [attr="class","miguelespinosa-body"] [attr="class","miguelespinosa-text"] [attr="class","miguelespinosa-quote"] Miguel may be a public identity hero of Aegis, and part of VALENCIA. However, being part of a band didn't mean he didn't have to do his due diligence. Today what he'd been assigned is to check in with someone they had had in Aegis containment awhile back. Now, the tricky part was that this individual had...escaped. Aegis didn't care that she'd escaped. They had apparently had a large misunderstanding to begin with. And she'd been helped out of the cell by Charlotte Ledger. When they'd told Miguel that detail he had laughed. It was very much like the teenager to do something like that. [break][break] But what he needed to do today was to check on the person and make sure they were doing okay, and kind of to assure them there was no hard feelings or whatever. Miguel approached the address given and...what was that? She saw a middle aged woman trying to pin down another woman. He heard the words and was trying to figure out what was happening. He decided that he was law enforcement technically. Miguel spoke up, his deep voice ringing out through the noise.[break][break] "M'aam, if you could get off her please." [break][break] "Young man, she's a burglar! She was trying to break in! I won't let her! I won't!" Miguel sighed. This was not going to be as simple as he had hoped. But there were advantages to being him. He walked forward and got a grip on the woman under her arms, picking her up. While he did so, he extricated her hands from the other woman. And then he sat down 'Grace' as she was being called. He took a look at the woman being accused of burglary and chuckled to himself. Grace looked at him like he was crazy. [break][break] "M'aam. Look. You've done your duty in investigating but next time please make sure you're accusing the right person. And don't get involved yourself it could involve you being hurt. I can take it from here. I'm Aegis, see?" He gestured to his costume. It was a red and leather vest, tactical pants and combat boots. And it had 'Evolution' written on the chest of the red t-shirt underneath the vest.

Tayla quickly smacked the input on the side of her neck that controlled her mask as soon as her hands were free, revealing her face. “GEEZE Grace! Would it kill you to ask what the hell is going on before you tackle someone! Geez. Locked my keys inside. Didn’t want to kick the door in. For Pete’s sake woman.” Grace, thoroughly embarrassed, turned red as a beet and, upon being released, shuffled off to her own apartment. Tayla stood up. “Thanks. ‘My hero’ and all that. Grace is... sheesh. There’s nosy and then there’s Grace. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’d just walk right in to our apartment if I left the door unlocked.” Looking around, she found the wire she had been using and knelt down in front of her door again. “So. ‘Evolution,’ huh? Lotta syllables for a code name.” She went silent for a moment as she tried to get the door open, only for that third pin to slip again. She muttered several curses under her breath before sighing and looking at her guest. “I take it you’re not just here to save me from Gracezilla. I haven’t done anything, I swear. Scouts honor.” She held up her hand in a mock scout salute, still holding the makeshift lockpick between her fingers. She went back to the door. “So what does Big Brother want to know? Annotated schedule of my activities? My plans for the next month? Oh my Bing search history, how about that?” She tried again, and this time the third pin behaved. “YES! Finally.” Realizing she wasn’t being very nice, she opened the door wide and turned to Evolution. “Hey, um, sorry. If they gave you a briefing on me, you’ll know I’m not from.. well, here. Back where I came from Aegis isn’t exactly the good guys. It’s still not fair for me to assume that of you. You wanna come in? I was going to make dinner, I’ve got this killer pizza sauce recipe that my mom taught me. Not literally killer, I swear. Geez. Just don’t throw me back in the clink again? I don’t know if I could piss Charlotte off and get her to break the cell again. Plus if I did I don’t know what she’d end up doing to me, and I quite like all my bones unbroken.” Miguel Espinosa

He had deduced it from the rest of her appearance, but he felt almost vindicated to find out he'd been correct. One of the reasons he had left his identity public was that he maintained a mask couldn't be nearly as effective as people liked to think. And he was always happy to be proved correct in that respect. He watched as the older woman was clearly embarrassed as she went back to her own apartment. He laughed when Tayla made a 'my hero' joke and commented about Grace. And the comment on his codename. He shrugged. [break][break] "I don't technically need a codename because of my public identity, but I felt like it fit. My power is adaptation." He watched as she tried to get into her apartment with the lockpick because of locking her keys inside. And the comment about how she hadn't done anything, and the comment about Big Brother. The comment about the annotated schedule of her schedule. Bing search history. [break][break] "If you want to tell me your schedule it would make it easier for me to plan a dinner date. But Aegis doesn't need it. They just wanted me to follow up with you, make sure you were okay. And...no-one uses Bing." He arched an eyebrow and then watched her celebrate getting into her lock. She spoke about the briefing and stuff and invited him in. He rubbed the back of his neck and wasn't sure what protocol was. That said, Miguel decided that since he had already tried a pick-up line on her, he was probably making his own protocol at this point. He chuckled when she spoke about Charlotte breaking her out or breaking her, and the laugh was a low melodic sort of sound. His deep voice made its way into his laugh as well. [break][break] "I did get the briefing yes. That's part of why I'm here. To check how you're adjusting to our universe. It isn't everyday we have someone who comes from another universe...never mind one that...well that isn't exactly a vacation spot. I'm not here to throw you back into containment. Charlotte wasn't supposed to break you out, but it also wasn't the worst call in the world. I believe the pillars may have overreacted personally, but well...we would want to know if threats came from another universe as well. You weren't the villain, but you could have been. I...it could have been handled better." Miguel wasn't the best with words honestly. Especially considering he was standing in her apartment. [break][break] "Nice place you have. And yeah, Charlotte isn't one to fuck with. Kind of funny that one of the members of Aegis you really don't want to piss off isn't even a Pillar. Or an official member of the team either."

"Adaptation? I'm curious now. You'll have to explain that a bit more." Tayla closed the door behind them, making a point to not lock the door until she found her keys. She didn't want to have a repeat of what just happened out front. You never knew, your Gracezilla rescuer could end up being not nearly as handsome as this one was. He responded to each of her quips, and... wait. He... just asked her out? This time it was Tayla's turn to turn red. "I-I mean... If you want to. I wouldn't mind. The dinner thing. My evenings are usually pretty clear. Um. Wait nobody uses Bing? Hold on what do people use to bing things then? Oh don't tell me they use Google... they do, don't they? How did I end up in a world where Google is bigger than Bing?" Tayla wasn't used to a lot of what was going on right now. She wasn't used to having a guest over, she wasn't used to having someone interested in her, so there was a lot she was still figuring out. "Um. Take a seat if you like? Most of this stuff is my roommate's. I didn't come over with a lot, but I'm getting myself put together. I... guess I appreciate you stopping by to check in?" She went into her bedroom and pulled on a shirt and some sweats over her suit, then went to the kitchen, set out a pot, dumped the tomato sauce into it, and then got the green onions from the fridge and started chopping them up very finely. "Honestly, the whole situation would have probably been better if I hadn't decked an Aegis guy. So, uh, Evolution. Do you want me to call you Evolution? Can I call you Evo? Or do you want to tell me your name, you said you had a public identity? A-anyway. What does Aegis want you to get, specifically?" Miguel Espinosa

He smiled warmly. She was open to the idea! Lovely. He would have to check his band schedule to make time. And make sure his college assignments were all caught up, but that was never a big deal for him. He heard her react to his facts about Bing and remembered she was from another universe as she did so. [break][break] "If you're open to the idea that's awesome I can give you my number so we can work out the details. And Google became the better search engine. Bing...Bing is just the one that was forced onto people who bought Windows I think." He shrugged. Computers weren't exactly his thing. She invited him to take a seat and he did, listening as she explained most of the stuff was her roommate's and that she didn't come over with much. He shrugged when she said she appreciated him stopping by to check in. He listened patiently to everything she said, listening intently. He had a habit of doing that regardless of the person, but she was also pretty animated so it was fun for Miguel too. He laughed when she said she had decked a guy from Aegis, and then mentioned his name. Miguel's eyes widened and he facepalmed. [break][break] "I'm sorry I didn't even introduce myself. I'm Miguel. Miguel Espinosa. My identity is public yes, because it's good publicity for my band. And...right. Adaptation. Basically my power is that I can use any adaptation that animals have made over the course of history. One of my favourites. Let's see...something visible. Aha!" Miguel grinned before putting his arm in front of him. Suddenly it had an armadillo's protective shell armour on it. [break][break] "See? Adaptation. It's my specialty."

Tayla smiled when she finally got a name. “Nice to meet you Mr. Espinosa. Damn, that’s fun to say. Espinosa... You’ll have to tell me more about your band later.” She finished chopping the onions, put them in the sauce, then wiped off the knife while she came over to see the adaptation ability he had. “Oh. Oh that’s cool. Cellular manipulation and, well, just like you said, adaptation.” She tapped the shell-arms with the knife, listening to the sound it made. “That’s sturdy. Impressive. Can you feel that? Does it isolate nerve endings too?” Tayla’s mind was starting to go down a rabbit hole, one that had some... personal stakes for her. “I wonder how hard a hit you can take. What’s the biggest thing that’s ever hit you?” She started tapping harder with the knife, using the back of it. She didn’t want to hurt him, he was too good-looking for that and it would really make planning dinner awkward, but she was interested in what he could or couldn’t feel through this shell. That’s when it happened. The tapping upgraded itself subconsciously to hitting, and the knife slipped from Tayla’s grip, bounced off of Miguel’s armadillo arms, and sailed back behind Tayla. It just happened to fall at just the right angle, and Tayla just happened to move in just the wrong way, that it tore through her sweatpants and suit and embedded itself about an inch deep in her calf. Tayla didn’t react, at least not the way most people would when there was a knife sticking out of them. “Shit. Where did it go? I think it bounced off my leg...” Tayla turned around and started looking around the floor for the knife, not realizing it was currently being carried by her, in a way. “Did it go under the couch? The fridge? I don’t think I heard it hit the kitchen... Crap, I just cleaned that thing too. Ah, shit, it must have tore my suit too when it bounced off. My leg’s sensors are working right anymore.” Miguel Espinosa

[break][break] "Just Miguel is fine. Mr Espinosa's my dad. Besides, you being respectful like that feels especially weird considering I think I'm younger than you." He found it amusing that she found his last name fun to say though. Then she wiped off the knife and came over to see the adaptation he had brought out and commented on it, tapping his arm with the knife. It made an interesting sound he had to admit. Could he feel it? He shrugged.[break][break] "I can feel the vibration but that's about it." Miguel watched as she seemed to be thinking about something. Then she asked how hard a hit he'd taken and he tried to remember.[break][break] "Truthfully I haven't really gone against any villains yet. They've been giving me things like checking up on people and stuff. Something about my inexperience. I'm waiting for when they actually read the section of my application on skills." He was qualified, but they'd basically given him guard duty. Whatever. His time would come. For now, he'd be needless muscle and looking imposing. He was okay with it for now. [break][break] "I used this one while fencing with my mother though. So...a longsword I guess." She kept tapping, a bit harder, and harder. Then the knife slipped from her grip, bounced off his arm and Miguel's eyes widened when he saw where it had landed. And there was no scream from Tayla, not even recollection that it had happened. She was trying to find it. He remembered the briefing. Thank goodness he had pored over that as long as he had to get every detail because it meant he remembered she didn't have a sense of touch without her suit. Miguel grabbed her arm.[break][break] "Tayla. TAYLA. Hol' up. Sit down okay it's embedded itself in your leg I think you might need to go to the ER okay?" He was very concerned about her truthfully.

"Okay, Miguel." Tayla continued the conversation while she looked for the knife. "Interesting. And when you put it away you get all your feeling back... where the hell is that thi--" She was cut off when he grabbed her arm and explained what happened. She turned bright red again, feeling embarrassed that this had happened. "I.. um.. that... happens sometimes. I'll be fine. I think I've got some gauze in the bathroom." Tayla's eyes shot over to the door when she heard it squeak open. "Wait no, don't--" "Tayla, dear, I felt bad for that mixup earlier so I made you some cookies andAAAAAAAAAH!" Tayla rolled her eyes as the plate and cookies clattered to the floor, followed shortly by Grace. "Damnit, Grace..." she sighed. "Maybe I shouldn't make dinner next time we try to have it. Things get... complicated. Not feeling any pain isn't always... great." She sighed again and looked down at the knife sticking out of her leg. "So. Should I pull the thing out...? Do you really think we'll need ER? I don't have any insurance or anything yet, so that'll suck." She leaned over and looked at Grace. "She could probably use some help too. Normally this is where I'd... I dunno. Prop Grace up on her door, then wrap my leg up with gauze, pretend everything was fine and try to figure out what line of code I need to tweak to make my suit fix itself. I have a feeling you'll want to be more... something... with the solution. Thorough? Is that the right word?" Miguel Espinosa

[attr="class","miguelespinosa-ly-2"]forever [attr="class","miguelespinosa-body"] [attr="class","miguelespinosa-text"] [attr="class","miguelespinosa-quote"] Miguel saw her flush and get embarrassed and explain it happens sometimes and his face turned from widened eyes and a panicked face to warm understanding. This was a disability she had. And then the older woman from earlier came back and fainted. Miguel sighed.[break][break] "Ay dios mio." The words were said with an exasperated tone. When it rained it poured. Now he had to figure out what to do. This was not his training. This was far from his training. He chuckled when she brought up dinner and he ran a hand through his short dreads. [break][break] "Yeah maybe not. I'm not a bad cook though. My mum taught me. Said college students often starved for good cooking and she was determined that her boys would not be the same." Finally his unorthodox upbringing came in handy. Then again, it wasn't THAT unorthodox he supposed. But he was a boy who was a decent cook so that was a little unusual for a wealthy Spanish family he thought. Then again, he could be wrong. But that was not the issue at hand right now. [break][break] "Ignoring a wound like that and just wrapping it with gauze probably isn't doing your scrapped nerves any favours though. And she's an older woman who just got the fright of her life. We should probably make sure she didn't have an actual heart attack. Ai..." He thought for a moment to himself. [break][break] "I still forget American healthcare is such shit. Unless you know someone with healing powers though, I'm pretty sure you should get it treated. I might be able to get you out of paying for a hospital visit though, saying I'll check up on you and make sure you're following doctor's orders. Swing around that I'm a hero.
