Welcome to Gaia! ::

Anser wasn't bored. She was patrolling! Her mother was at the hospital for work, so it left her with the ability to slide out of her apartment and get out on the streets without any question. All she needed to do was get back before her mother did!

Or just tell her mother she was at a friend's house.

Easy enough.

The vibration of her phone caught her attention and she plucked it out, glancing down to see who was contacting her. Cybele? Nicodemus? -- Mimosa! Had the 3DS exploded?! Alarmed, Anser quickly opened up the message, but found herself relieved that it was just an invitation to hang out with her. Oh! Hanging out with other senshi friends sounded awesome! At her uncle's? Was it the Polaris Knight uncle or did she have other uncles?

Text to Mimosa: Yeah sure!

And then she paused. Wait.

Text to Mimosa: Actually I'm on patrol right now! Do you wanna do a patrol and then we can hang?

Grounded?!

Who arrested a superhero?!

A supervillain?!

Anser immediately started to type out her dismay when another text came in, so she stopped for a second, erased everything, and read that. Oh. The uncle. This had to be her Polaris Knight uncle or whatever, that was the only way he could possibly be actively stopping her from going out...

She scrunched her nose.

Never mind that, he grounded her!

Text to Mimosa: Why did he ground you? Why would he ground a superhero?!

She guessed she could stop patrolling for now. She did do a lot of patrolling. It would probably be okay if she went to hang out with a friend, right? Mimosa was a friend right? Maybe Anser could actually check in on the possibly nefarious 3DS, though then again, none of her merch had exploded yet--

Text to Mimosa: Where are you?

Hard to tell over text?

How mean was he to her? Why did he ground her? What was he being so picky about? Was he like those older senshi that were picky about patrolling alone, because she had met a few of them, and one of them tried to drop her off at the police station a while ago which definitely didn't work and just frustrated her. She still patrolled alone, dammit! When she had to! Just ... maybe avoided some of the big pressure auras when she could.

Anser huffed.

Once she was given the address, Anser tapped out a,

Text to Mimosa: Alright, be there soon!

And then she was off. Hell, she even called out, "Mothers Geese!" just for good measure, to make herself go even faster. The amount of distance she could clear, between her super ability and her natural speed as a superhero, made her so excited. Everything around her was a blur! She felt like one of those superspeed superheroes, like The Flash, maybe--

When she arrived at the address given, she tapped out a text once more.

Text to Mimosa: I'm out front!

Then, she dehenshined and waited patiently to find out what tea needed to be spilled.

Raina bounced on the balls of her feet impatiently as she waited for Mimosa-the-Civilian to show her face, attempting to whistle under her breath in the process. It wasn't working very well. Perhaps it was good that Mimosa-the-Civilian distracted her from it before she got annoyed at the fact that all she could blow out was air.

When she looked up, Raina was briefly surprised to see that Mimosa-the-Civilian seemed to have a cast--did the 3DS explode before Anser could get there?!--but she didn't address that initially, instead going with, "Yeah, I'm geese!" And in a moment, she was up the stairs to join Noah up on the balcony. This was actually kinda exciting! Meeting up with a fellow superhero without the superhero garb on, and it was a superhero who wasn't her brother or her brother-in-law? This was new! Maybe not being able to patrol wouldn't be so bad--

At least for a little bit. She had to get back out there eventually. "And I'm Raina, by the way! Noah's a pretty name!"

Raina followed Noah inside, taking a look around the apartment. It was pretty nice. It reminded her of her own apartment, in a way, except hers was in a much taller building. It was easier for her mother that way, because the building was close to the hospital where she worked...

Her eyes went right to the arm when Noah pointed it out, and Raina couldn't help being relieved that the 3DS hadn't exploded. Still, her arm was broken! Why? "Wait, if the 3DS didn't explode..." Raina ventured a bit closer, attempting to inspect the cast. "Did you get into a big superhero fight or something?" asked Raina, her eyes wide in something between excitement and concern. "I got into a big superhero fight too! And got a concussion, but I'm fine now. It was because of some rude woman with long dreads and some other rude woman dressed like a damn ballerina."

"Thank you!!" Raina didn't appreciate most of what her papa had done, but she had to admit, she still really liked the name he had chosen. It meant Queen. Besides for the meaning, which she had found out through searching on the internet, it was her, and she was attached to the name.

She got lost in the woods? Raina's eyes widened in fascination, and she couldn't help inching closer. And then, she plopped onto the couch and leaned in. "Tell me more!" This sounded like an awesome story and she wanted to hear every detail. Especially since Noah had come out of it with an injury. Something scary must have happened. Or heroic. Maybe she was a big hero and beat up someone doing something nasty to someone in the woods! Yeah!

Wait, snacks?

Ooh, a long story.

Raina nodded eagerly. "Do you want me to get them? Since you got the broken arm." She hopped up already, assuming this was a yes.

Then she paused.

Wait.

"I don't know where the snacks are though..."

"Okay!"

Raina followed Noah, eagerly helping her to bring all of the snacks back over. Her eyes lit up when she saw chips, and she got even more excited when she spotted cheese snacks. She loved cheese. Her favorite cheeses were usually of the spicy queso variety, but she would just stand around and munch cheese as a snack, too.

And therefore, she eagerly snatched up some cheese as she popped down back next to Noah, ready to listen.

Raina gasped appropriately when it was revealed that she had found a Negaverse agent, and gasped even louder when it was revealed that this was not only a villain, but a true supervillain. Burying people in the snow? Stringing her up like an ornament? What was wrong with that woman? Raina gathered her hands to her mouth and appropriately gasped in horror, of course.

She was nothing if not a good audience.

"That's awful!" And yet, she still sounded fascinated. "Did you defeat her? She sounds like a true supervillain! Were the people," she gulped, "alive?"

She guessed she shouldn't have been surprised that Mimosa hadn't defeated the supervillain considering the state of her arm, but she let out a shocked gasp nevertheless. What an awful person!

Raina reached over and patted Noah's cast gently, wanting to comfort her but also not wanting to hurt her any further. She hoped that was a good middle ground. Maybe. Did touching a cast hurt? She hadn't dealt much with people in casts before...

Whatever there were more important things, like supervillain stories. Or like, weird anti-hero kinda stories. Maybe a villain who was the road with hell is paved with good intentions trope or something. She blinked, wondering why a supervillain was trying to protect people, of all things. "A snow cave?" asked Raina, tilting her head. "But if she was trying to be a good guy, why was she also being a bad guy? That doesn't make any sense! Stringing you up and then putting people in some kinda igloo," that's what a snow building was, right? An igloo? "to keep them warm doesn't make any sense."

She scrunched her nose.

Supervillains had weird motivations.

Raina leaned in further.

"But what was the worst? She sounds pretty awful already!"
