Lounge Day (open to Avengers)

[alegacyofchaos]

Ree spent most of her time at the Mansion holed up in the lab, the gym, or her room. She didn't socialize much and it had required near-bribery to get her to come down for the last pizza night. She just couldn't spare the time, she told herself. She needed every moment for her project.

But a few months in nothing was closer to being solved. She was running both out of time and out of energy. And her headaches were worse. Maybe she needed a break. With that in mind she crept out of her room and went down to one of the common areas.

"Looks like there's more of a workaholic than I am." Mira was sitting in one of the large rooms, on the floor in torn jeans and a tank top, Lucifer was in her lap and a pad of paper in front of her with scribblings. "Or you're new here... But I think there would have been a meet and greet."

Roxie herself had been spending less and less time at the mansion since Joe had come into her life, but with him busy with SHIELD stuff, Roxie needed a break from working on layouts for the magazine. It was this that had brought her to the mansion for a couple of days, hanging out in her old room, detoxing.

She stepped into the common area from another interest and eyed Mira and Ree with interest. It was, she decided, nice to have some girls around the place. Even today, the Avengers sometimes felt like something of a boys' club.

Granted, this was something Roxie'd had less issue with back when she was single, but now...

"Late night for everyone?" She didn't know Mira well, and she knew Ree even less, but here they were.

Why not make the most of it?

"I...just needed a break," Ree said a little reluctantly. She'd been careful not to socialize much, but now there were two and she had no option.

"I'm not new. I've just been busy," she explained to Mira.

"Ah," She grinned at Ree's explanation and grinned at Roxie, after all she may be dating her ex, but didn't mean they had to ignore each other.

"Not that late for me. Just destressing without the gears." Or actually trying to avoid hopping over to Jersey via her bike just to do something. She didn't think the cops would like her jumping semis in armor mode.

Roxie matched Mira's grin with a genuine one of her own. Roxie had been the one to break-up with Vincent, and she'd moved on. She wasn't so petty as to be a bitch towards Mira. If they were happy, then she was happy for them.

The blonde Kreek lowered herself into an easy chair and placed the over-sized bowl of popcorn onto the table. "Help yourselves," she said. "I couldn't sleep myself."

She smiled a little awkwardly. Beyond some brief friendships, Roxie had never really been friends with much of her gender. She'd always been a guy's girl type of person.

This was fairly new territory, and they were all virtual strangers, despite being teammates.

"Thought I'd do popcorn and Netflix or something."

[alegacyofchaos]

Ree furrowed a brow.

"Netflix?"

[poorgirlsarcee]

"Guess this means I should put Lucy away. Seems a movie's popped in and the boys come running." She thinks a moment. "That's not one of their super powers is it? Because really that's totally unfair." So says the girl with the alien armor.

She grins to Ree. "It's a movie rental site."
