So Sam's gone off to Nebraska with Dean and Jo. this is good; Leah approves, especially as he took a radio so Leah can find him if she needs him.

She's determined not to need him. which is perfectly normal and just one of Leahs' 'totally independent and needs no one and ntohgin, thank you' quirks she's got going on. Besides, Oracle was true to her word and is providing Leah with plenty to do. In between missions from afar, she's busying herself with things that distract her from thinking about how much she wants him around.

One of those things is heavy metal music. Which is why she's leaving her apartment in Metropolis; she knows a market that occasionally trades in scavaneged goods. that they often contain CDs.

Catch her there or en route, or even on the radio - Innovator is always wired in.

Rachel left her meeting with Val and headed straight for the apartment. Tobias wasn't there - it was early enough that he could still be hunting, or just out stretching his wings. And it gave her chance to dig around their meager belongings and find a card given to her last Christmas.

Then she's out, walking the streets, looking for a particular address. As it so happens, the person she's looking for her passes her on the way.

"Hey," Rachel says suddenly, stopping - not as she recognizes the girl that had been so helpful, but the woman she'd met at Christmas. "Leah, right?"
theresnodoor: (17: Just a girl)

There's just the slightest hesitation. She'd met the woman at Christmas and hadn't missed the blindfold, but Rachel had also just spent almost two days entirely in the company of a younger, sighted version.

"I'm Rachel," she says, stepping over so Leah is facing her completely. "From Jo's party? And, um..."

"Good. Okay. Um, you?"





That was probably a stupid question, wasn't it? Rachel winces.

[personal profile] theresnodoor 2010-01-09 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Rachel manages a grin at that, genuine. "Yeah, I think everyone can agree on that."

She hesitates, then "Am I keeping you?"
theresnodoor: (17: wtf just happened?)

[personal profile] theresnodoor 2010-01-09 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I'd-"

A pause and blink.

"A what?"
theresnodoor: (17: Just a girl)

[personal profile] theresnodoor 2010-01-09 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh. Yeah, sure. I wanted to talk to you anyway."
theresnodoor: (17: Head ducked smiling)

[personal profile] theresnodoor 2010-01-09 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Rachel smiles, amused by the question. "Both, kind of. It's... well, it's a job. If you're interested."
theresnodoor: (17: Stunned staring)

Rachel follows along, letting the conversation stay vague. She might not have bothered a few hours before - before she spoke to Val and found out practically the entire farm knew already. No reason to add more to that mass of people.

She's surprised by Leah's question, though. "I came looking for this version of you. Heavy hitters, we've got. It's someone that knows what the hell is going on and how to coordinate big attacks that we don't."

Rachel shrugs, glad that the subject is dropped. She follows along and automatically looks around the apartment, curious. "No, thanks. I'm okay."
theresnodoor: (17: Thoughtful)

Rachel takes a seat in the opposite chair. She's not often around people who feel the need to invite someone to sit down, anyway.

"It started in Texas," she says, looking around while she speaks. At least Leah won't accused her or being nosy. "I found a building, a sort of castle.

"Made out of... out of skin. Flesh."

She frowns at the memory, shaking her head. "There was a guy there, human, firing up a bunch of creatures. I don't know what they were, but they got real excited when I dropped in. I was a dragon then."

"No. They celebrated."

Rachel's wrinkled nose smooths into a slight smirk.

"I engaged them."
theresnodoor: (17: Head down defeated)

[personal profile] theresnodoor 2010-01-09 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not much. They were pretty surprised and no one tried to fight back. It was just too big - and I hadn't actually seen them do anything."

This last is admitted grudgingly. The fact that the castle was made out of skin should have been enough but, at the time, wasn't.

"I got some friends together later. We went down and destroyed it but it was close."

In any case, when Rachel's in morph flesh isn't just flesh. It can also be lunch.

"Human. Not by sight, but it was."
