You Can Run Across Death Valley
Mar. 19th, 2017 04:06 pmCassie had decided to take a term off school. They needed to reorganize her paperwork, since she'd been withdrawn due to what they assumed was her untimely death (getting tossed into another universe in an explosion would do that), and she wanted to spend some time with her mom. Not to mention taking a good, hard look at her life: when would be a better time to evaluate that than after she literally came back from the dead?
She'd gone out for a run, which had ended up being another run in Death Valley due to her contemplative state of mind. So when she teleported into Titan's tower, she disheveled, sweaty, dusty, and bathed in the rosy glow of someone who was going to develop a mild sunburn in the next twenty-four hours.
"Hey babe," she said as she passed by her boyfriend. Normally she might pause to kiss him too, but she really needed to stick her head under the nearest water faucet for a minute or two before she did anything else.
