The Perk, Sunday Morning

Zoe had had a long day of business negotiations yesterday, so this morning, she was taking it easy, sitting outside the Perk and savoring a cup of coffee that she'd acquired through...potentially shady means. Of course she was still dressed in her favorite business suit and pearls - it would be shameful to be seen in anything less - but she wasn't plotting anything at the moment. Today was supposedly going to be a happy day for the Starks and the Skywalkers, and that was just fine with Zoe. It would only be a matter of time before their happiness ended, and she'd be there to pillage through the rubble.

Jan Summers, mutant messiah from a land far from here who has been on the run since she was born, walked into the Perk.

For coffee.

"Oh," she said, startling enough for the cameras to catch. "Ms Winchester!"

Did that mean... Grace was in town as well?

"Jan? Is that you?" Of course she recognized her, the writing wouldn't have worked otherwise. "Well, how are you dear?"

"I'm--" Oh, it was too much! She burst into tears at the mere thought of having to talk about her tragic past.

When she left because the child actress wanted to have a normal life.

"Oh, darling, don't cry," Zoe said, setting her coffee down before going to pull Jan into a hug, making sure that both their faces were still visible as she pat her on the back. "There there, it can't be so bad."

"I'm so alone! Alone and without anyone to trust! Not since..." She sniffled. "The accident."

"The accident, of course," Zoe said solemnly. It was such a tragic accident, after all. "You can trust me. Girls should always be able to trust each other, no?"

That left so many people dead. But not her. Not... her.

"I don't think I can be trusted!"

"Why not? I mean, it isn't like you're harboring some kind of dark secret you can't share." Zoe paused for a long moment while music swelled from behind them. "Are you?"

"I--" Jan looked away, at the audience. Her eyes glowed red just the once in the most special effects they could afford. "Of course not. Why would I have that?"

"Oh, no reason," Zoe said, completely unaware of any glowing, aside from their own lovely skin. "I'm sure you'll find someone to trust, and love, and maybe even sleep with. The perfect person for you might be right in this town."

"Do you think so?" Jan asked, wiping those tears that never really existed away.

"Of course! No one as beautiful as you could be alone forever." The writers wouldn't stand for it.
