fandomtownies | The Perk, Monday Afternoon

Electroclash still didn't really get what this Memorial Day thing was all about. She was just glad it hadn't entirely shut down the United Capes of America branch on the mainland, since she'd picked today as the time to drag her ass down there. Of course, there'd only been one decidedly surly clerk there to deal with her, but she was good at situations like that.

Or at crushing people's spirits. One or the other.

Anyway, it hadn't been what you'd call a success. Despite what Electroclash's contacts at the SPA had claimed, the UCA didn't seem too keen on fixing up a guest speaker for her class. Not an active American one, at least. Nope, they were rather wanting to suggest she'd get in touch with a former member of theirs, an English one, heat-based powers, maybe she'd heard of him... ?

The Hotness. Yeah.

And speaking of heat-based nuisances, the warmth of the day was finally making Electroclash glad about how much skin her uniform left exposed. It was a bit different from the weather she was used to wearing it in. Still, the stress combined with the weather she wasn't really used to made a stop by the Perk when she got back on the island absolutely necessary. She could take a moment at a table by the window, nursing an iced coffee. While trying, repeatedly, to call Alex. Who wasn't picking up. Maybe he'd melted his phone by accident again.

And that was who the UCA wanted to be a guest speaker for impressionable young minds, ladies and gentlemen.
