This was all a mess, but Miguel seemed to know what he was doing. “Um. Okay. So... Right. Call EMTs. Uh...” Tayla looked at her arm, still being held in Miguel’s hand. “I’m. Uh. I’m gonna need that. To get my phone. And I should probably pull the suit back from around my leg.” She wasn’t upset that he was holding her arm. It actually felt nice to have someone actually caring about her wellbeing to the point where they were taking physical action to keep her safe. But still, she needed to move her arm. Arm free, she tapped on the inside of her wrist, bringing up a small display, and tapped some commands on it. “I think this should... damn it, that’s not right, I need just the leg... there we go.” The suit pulled itself back from her calf, the fibers twisting and sliding their way up to integrate into the part that stayed around her thigh, revealing incredibly pale, scarred skin underneath. She looked down at her leg, and then back to Miguel. “I’m going to sit down. It’s not a good idea for me to move around like... this. Too easy to break a toe or some shit like that. And then it’s a pain in the butt for me to figure out that I have busted something, and then it’s an even bigger pain in the butt to fix...” She sat down on an ottoman and reached for the knife. “I might as well get this thing out. Not like I’m gonna feel it, it’s just gonna be annoying.” Miguel Espinosa

And then...she looked down at her arm and he realized he was still holding onto the woman. Miguel let go very quickly. The look on his face was like he'd been given a start, and it was true he had been. He'd been shocked out of some kind of reverie. He was acting very...familiar with Tayla. Miguel wasn't used to that. He had just met her. He was never this familiar with people he'd just met. Hell, it was a PROBLEM his mother had lectured him about. 'You'll never find a girl like that, mijo' she'd always told him. He ran a hand through his short dreads and he could feel his cheeks warm. It was a time he was glad it wouldn't show on his face whether he was blushing or not. Miguel watched as she used coding commands to fix the suit on the leg. He stared for a moment because it was fascinating, but then he realized he was quite literally staring at her leg and that was just awkward. He turned away somewhat haltingly and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. [break][break] "That's a hell of an invention." No wonder she'd been fascinated by his adaptation. She was some kind of scientist he was sure. To be able to come up with a suit like that confirmed it. He didn't remember that part of the briefing, but he supposed if she made it to compensate for her lack of touch it was an invention of necessity. That didn't make it any less cool though. He nodded and smiled when she mentioned she was going to sit down. [break][break] "Yeah probably good to sit down." Then she mentioned that she might as well get out the knife and his eyes widened.[break][break] "Wait! It may have stopped the bloodflow in some capacity! If you remove the knife, it could end up making the whole thing worse and you could bleed more. I may not be in medical school or anything but I know the basics." He bit his lip realizing he'd had another outburst. He rubbed the back of his neck.[break][break] "I mean...it might be a good idea to wait for the EMTs." The sentence was said somewhat quietly. Why did it seem like he was talking more now with this woman than he had in his entire life? He felt so awkward. Her dinner had turned into an EMT visit.[break][break] "I...if you're hungry I could try making something. You probably shouldn't move, and if you were making supper you might be hungry. I'm not a terrible cook. And if you have tea, that's...kind of my specialty." He thought he would make the offer. She could always turn him down if she wasn't comfortable eating something made by a man she'd just met.

Tayla froze, hand on the knife’s handle. Back in the Tyrant’s world, she had a whole resistance movement that would swarm over any wounded when they got back to base from any missions, not that Tayla went on a lot of them. She really didn’t know how to give herself first-aid at all. “That’s... really a bad thing? Shit. I don’t know f***ing anything about biology or how to fix this kind of shit. I can’t even really take all the credit for my suit either. There’s a good chunk of it that was already made that I just stole from a murderous dictator and made work for me. It’s a long story. Short version is don’t go hopping to other universes without checking what they’re like first.” She sighed and pulled out her phone and dialed 911. “Hello. Yeah my name is Tayla Smith and I’ve got a knife in my leg. Yep. Still in my leg. Kitchen knife. One of the medium-sized ones, I was chopping green onions for a pizza sauce and... oh you need the address. Right. Uptown apartments, 1979 Pratchett street, unit 42-H. Oh, and my neighbor decided to pop in uninvited I might add, saw the knife, and passed out. She was bringing over cookies. Dropped the plate. I think some of the cookies are still good. Hey Miguel?” She turned from the receiver toward her... guest? Friend? The whole situation was awkward. “Do you think any of the cookies Grace was bringing over are still good?” The operator on the phone said something which brought Tayla’s attention back. “Right. Yeah there’s someone else here with me. Aegis guy, Miguel Espinosa. Goes by Evolution. Nice guy. If you talk to the Aegis dispatch people tell em thanks for sending him. He’s been great. Right. Yeah. I’ll see whoever you send in a few minutes. Thanks. I’m hanging up now. I told you I have someone here already! Sheesh I’m not going to be rude to him! Goodbye!” And she hung up the phone and put it back in her pocket. “There. That’s done. Um, yeah, feel free to screw around in the kitchen. Probably should shut off the pizza sauce. I think there’s some tea in there. I’m...” She sighed. She hated feeling helpless like this. Not being able to take care of everything herself. Still, which she still hated that feeling, she didn’t mind that it was Miguel helping her this time. “I’m just going to stay in here and try to keep an eye on my leg. Make sure nothing else happens to it that I don’t feel. Damnit I hate it when I have to have the suit off. In any capacity. I can’t feel anything.” Miguel Espinosa

He also heard the words about the suit and the murderous dictator. Okay that was a lot to unpack he was going to unpack it LATER. Because she did say it was a long story. He listened to the 911 call and figured when she went on a tangent the poor dispatch was probably thinking she was going into shock. Nope, Tayla was just that casual about injuries. Poor dispatcher. Then he heard the question about the cookies and he shrugged going over and looking at the cookies. He picked one up and took a bite. [break][break] "They're still good. The plate was plastic. I mean...unless you hate raisins. Some of them appear to have those. I like them, but not everyone does." He shrugged again and he watched as her attention was brought back to the phone call. And then she hung up. He chuckled remembering how they liked to keep the victims on the phone. Nope it'd be fine. Dispatch would have to get over it. Tayla was unique. Miguel was even more intrigued, he had to admit. He picked the remaining cookies off the floor and put them on the plastic plate because hey why not everything had already been on the floor it couldn't get worse. Miguel heard her go ahead to do stuff in the kitchen and he nodded, putting the plate of cookies on the table. Then he stopped the pizza sauce and had a look at it. He could adapt this into a supper. He finished chopping the onions with a different knife, put them into the sauce along with some other veggies he found in the fridge. Then he found the pasta in the cupboard and put on a kettle to boil some water. A pot on the stove to boil water for the spaghetti. When the water in the kettle boiled, he found a teapot and made the tea in the pot. An orange pekoe teabag. Well, he had more types of tea but that was kind of his specialty. [break][break] "There. Just have to wait for it to steep now." He stirred the spaghetti periodically. [break][break] "You seriously can't feel anything? I know I read it in the briefing but like...that's rough. Sorry that's an understatement." He rubbed the back of his neck and awkwardly returned to the pasta. He didn't know quite what to say. Now that the crisis was mostly solved, there wasn't necessarily much to say to someone he barely knew. And despite his status in VALENCIA, he wasn't that great socially. He mostly did background stuff when he wasn't doing back-up vocals and guitar. Then the tea was ready and he brought it to the table Tayla was sitting at, along with two cups and some milk and sugar in case she took that. He poured his as is and took a sip. A smile made its way onto his face. Tea always made him feel happy and peaceful whatever the situation, and it did show. [break][break] "I'm using the pizza sauce you had going for the pasta.

Tayla took a cookie from the table and started chewing on it, being very careful like she always had to when she ate anything. Her face and mouth was one area that wasn't covered by her suit, at least when she wasn't wearing a mask, so it made things a little more challenging to manage when she ate. She had gotten pretty good at managing it though. "Thanks again. For all this. You didn't have to do any of it." She put a hand on the cup of tea so she could feel when it might be cool enough to drink. "Yeah. Nothing. I feel when I'm hungry. I feel when I have to pee or take a dump, and that's about it. Every other nerve ending in my body is just... something. I don't know. I take this suit off and close my eyes and I'm just in a void. I feel like I'm falling, endlessly. it sucks. Truth be told if something happens to my vision I tend to freak out a little. That's, uh, how Aegis caught me the first time. The guy that brought me in... what was his name... Amplitude? Impidimp. Impulsive? Something like that. He had a power or something that blinded me temporarily." She shrugged. “It is what it is. I'm getting by. Still sucks, but I manage." She watched him take a sip, then tentatively brought the cup to her mouth. Then she stopped, and put it back down. "I... sorry. I don't want to give the EMTs more to deal with. I better wait a bit more. I.. haven't had a hot drink in.. yeah. A while." This was getting awkward. Here was this really sweet guy who was making her dinner and tea and everything, and all she could talk about were her weird issues. She didn't usually have problems like this. She had a couple friends and besides that most everyone else she interacted with were cashiers or people she could punch. "So. Is Aegis all you do, or are you a cook, or something? You seem to really know your stuff around the kitchen. I really only know how to do pizza, other than that everything's gotta be microwaved. Or instant ramen, I can do that. Usually." Still feeling incredibly awkward, she sighed and put her forehead down on the table. "Sorry. I'm probably making you really uncomfortable. The tea smells really good." Miguel Espinosa

He didn't have to, but he wanted. He was a laidback kind of guy most of the time. Unless it was to do with his band. He listened to her tell him about her feeling. [break][break] "Anyone would freak if they lost one of their senses. If you already lack one I'd imagine it would be worse. It's understandable. And Aegis isn't concerned about what you'll do, but how you are. That's the reason they sent me. To make sure you're okay and adjusting fine." He stirred the spaghetti and turned off the sauce once it was cooked more thoroughly and the veggies were at the right consistency. [break][break] "I'm not a cook, I just learned from my mum. She was determined that all her children learn so they were eating well even if they didn't have someone to cook for them. Aegis isn't all I do though. I do back-up vocals and guitar for the band VALENCIA along with some friends of mine." When she apologized for making him uncomfortable and about the tea. He realized she couldn't...drink it. The teabags were probably her roommate's if he was correct. He looked through the fridge quietly and put an ice cube tray in front of Tayla on the table with a slight smile. Her forehead was on the table when he did it, so he hoped she would hear the sound. His smile at her was kind. [break][break] "You aren't making me uncomfortable. I thought I was making YOU uncomfortable truthfully. I can be...quiet sometimes. It can make people feel awkward. And I'm sorry for not even thinking but maybe iced tea would be just as good."

Tayla looked up when Miguel set the ice cubes on the table. "Oh. Oh no no, it's fine. I want to drink it hot. I just want to be careful, is all. I mean look," She stuck a finger in the cup. It had cooled down considerably by that point, but not to the point where it was room temperature. The sensors on the suit covering her finger gave her a good idea of the temperature, which she felt was acceptable, so she picked it up and took a large swig. "See? I can manage." She paused after that, only just then registering the actual taste of the beverage. "Damn. Damn that's really good." After reveling in the delicious drink for a moment, Tayla brought herself back down to earth and smiled apologetically at Miguel. "I haven't heard of Valencia. But hey, that doesn't mean anything. I haven't heard of a lot of things. Apparently there's a "Bee Movie" and Disney's mascot is "Mickey Mouse" instead of "Michael Mouse." Its weird. You think I could get some of your music so I can try it out?" Before she could could get an answer, there was a knock at the door. "I HAVE A KNIFE IN MY LEG SO ONLY COME IN IF YOU CAN HANDLE THAT!" Tayla shouted. A confused, amused, and concerned EMT opened the door and peeked in. "Um. I'm pretty sure I can..." "Finally, someone actually knocks before just walking in. Yeah, Grace is over there and she couldn't handle it, and I probably shouldn't move much because I have... We'll settle for a "condition" that gives me "a very high pain tolerance." Don't bother with anesthetic." The knife had missed all the major arteries and veins, but it did need some stitches, which were done on the field. Grace was taken home and woken up, and was pronounced fine after a quick check. Tayla intentionally did not go with them to take Grace home. Grace didn't need an annoyed woman shouting at her for violating privacy, and Tayla had a guest she was much more interested in. With the promise of a bill to come in the mail, the EMT's left to go to the next emergency, and Tayla and Miguel were left alone again. "Finally. Now I can actually help with dinner. You... you are still staying for dinner, right?" she asked, a hopeful look in her eyes. Miguel Espinosa

[attr="class","miguelespinosa-ly-2"]forever [attr="class","miguelespinosa-body"] [attr="class","miguelespinosa-text"] [attr="class","miguelespinosa-quote"] Miguel watched as she set herself to drink the tea hot instead, that she just needed to be careful. He would trust her on this, she obviously knew her limits. There was only so many things he would advise the woman on after all. Putting the finger in seemed to work anyways. He shrugged slightly when she said the tea was good. [break][break] "It's better when you make it with tea leaves, but I don't keep tea on me much. I'm pretty sure those were your roommate's teabags. I like the warmth of tea it helps calm me sometimes." He had troubles where he let himself get worked up sometimes. When she apologized about not knowing Valencia he shook his head. [break][break] "It's fine. Music is very much a personal taste not everybody's going to have heard of us. And...sure. I can try to find a CD sometime." He heard the knock on the door and then watched as she yelled at the EMT. Miguel chuckled. He listened quietly to her talking to the EMT, and the bit about the anesthetic. The stitches and Grace taken home and pronounced fine. Finally, they were alone in the place and Miguel couldn't help but rub the back of his neck, not sure what to do in the situation at all. [break][break] "As long as I'm not imposing I'd like to. It's almost done." He strained the pasta before putting it back in the pot and adding the sauce. Then he found two dinner plates in the cupboard and plated it, putting it in front of her and another place across from her. He put a cup of tea for himself next to the place and then brought over sets of cutlery for them both. [break][break] "You should probably stay off that leg for at least a little bit. Popping your stitches wouldn't really be a good idea. Especially since you might not be able to feel it. And let me know if the pasta needs any spices I didn't add anything I just used your sauce. I can have a tendency to go to spicy. Spanish families and all that." He chuckled.

Honestly, Tayla had never really thought much about tea. Prior to the accident, everything she ate or drank was just fuel for the next project. Sure, she liked pizza, but that was about it when it came to her preferences. After the accident, she didn't really have time, between rewriting the laws of quantum physics and running from tyrants. But now she could slow down and appreciate things. And honestly, if it was Miguel telling her about the intricacies of tea, she was pretty sure she'd be interested for a long time. Tayla smiled wide when he said he'd like to stay for dinner. "No no no! No imposition at all! Happy to have you." Tayla blushed and sat back down when he said she should probably stay off her leg. She wasn't used to this, someone thinking about her wellbeing and taking care of her. Sure, she had Felicity now to tell her when she was being an idiot, but it was still a new sensation to have someone care. "I like spicy. I'm sorry, though. I don't season my pizza sauce a ton, and I know you converted what was going to be pizza into pasta, so it's probably really bland." Tayla twirled her fork in the pasta, lifted it to her mouth, blew on it to make sure it was cool enough, then took a bite. Thankfully her sense of taste hadn't been affected at all. It was okay, if she did say so herself. She was right, it was a little bland. "So. So Miguel. You said you were in a band and all, but... what made you decide to join Aegis? What does it stand for? What does it mean to you, that you're an Aegis sold--.. member. Aegis member." She wanted to know. Miguel seemed like such a nice guy, and the Aegis she was very familiar with was the enforcement arm of a vicious tyrant. She wanted to know how far along towards that horrible other universe this universe was. Miguel Espinosa

[attr="class","miguelespinosa-ly-2"]forever [attr="class","miguelespinosa-body"] [attr="class","miguelespinosa-text"] [attr="class","miguelespinosa-quote"] Miguel heard her say it was no imposition with a big smile on her face. He grinned back. He was glad he was welcomed like that. It made it so there was no doubt left in his mind that he was welcomed by her. She said she liked spicy and spoke about the pizza sauce and he smiled, shaking his head before taking a bite. [break][break] "It's still pretty good regardless of the spices. I may have seasoned the pasta itself a little bit." He rubbed the back of his neck a bit sheepishly. He couldn't help it! Sometimes it was just something that came naturally to him when he was cooking. Then he heard her question about what made him join Aegis and what it stood for. What it meant to him. He heard the slip-up and figured she'd almost been about to say soldier but he was going to address that after he answered her questions. [break][break] "Well another member of my band joined for the publicity and to a point that was what I joined for too. However more than that I figure I can do some real good with what I have. My powers are unique in the way of defense. Plus, ma madre taught me how to fence, and how to adapt my powers to using my skills more effectively. She'd won prizes for her fencing, and I took to it just as well. With that kind of skill I figured protecting people was a good idea. Plus I also wrestled in high school so that contributed too. Aegis to me is an organization dedicated to making sure anyone who wants to just live normally, even if they have powers, is able to do that. And just exist like regular human beings would. Using our powers for the good of...here in Astaria and across the US. Even if I'm not native to the US, I still want to protect the people here. My friends, my fans, anyone I get to know." He took another bite and smiled. It was still good. He was glad. Sometimes the first bite could be deceiving. [break][break] "I know you almost said soldier so there must be a reason you thought of Aegis that way first. I won't push, but it would be interesting to hear. If you're willing."
