Evals

[comic_awareness]

(bendytime to after the "Dire Wraith" invasion, but before Asgard stuff.  Probably)

When sign-ups for the evals had gone up, Bruce had made sure he was first on the list.  Team leader, his responsibility, all that, blah blah blah.

At the appointed time, he headed to Ms. Pryde-Wisdom's office.

Deep breaths, Brucie-boy, he thought to himself.  You did fine.  I'm sure.

Kitty listened intently as Bruce spoke, nodding occasionally. Only when he was finished did she speak. "That's a reasonable decision to make. It was your last resort. The fact that neither of you knew what was going to happen when she let that side out was an acceptable risk."

She ran a hand through her hair. "So tell me this: Roxie. Was she intentionally trying to ignore her demi-goddess heritage before? Because ignoring could potentially create issues too. It's not your fault that she broke up with Vincent or that she isn't sure about who she is anymore. Those are things that could easily happen from other sets of circumstances too. She seemed both confident and capable in the field. She also made the correct call-given the circumstances you guys were facing--to contact Sofia Strange." She studied Bruce for a moment. "Was Roxie's personality radically different before?"

"I don't know about intentionally... so much as just apathy. She was always focused more on her mom's side of things, and those powers."

He nodded. "If anything, she's more... focused, than before. Honestly, she was kind of..."

He made vague gestures in the air. "Can I call her loose without it sounding too judgey? I just mean, she was... very free, with men."

The less said about hand-holding, the better.

"She seems more serious too. Less angry."

"So it sounds like getting in touch with her other part helped her in growing as a person." She nodded. "So, focused, more serious, and less angry. I don't see how these aren't good things. Are you worried about the road she's on now? I haven't spoken with her yet. I appreciate any insight about her, as well as the others you can offer. I also think you and I should have regular meetings, more often than the others. I'm keen on helping you hone your leadership abilities."

"They are, I reckon," Bruce conceded. "I'm not worried about her per say... Roxie's always been pretty good at taking care of herself. But self-discovery's a pretty rough road sometimes. And, let's face it, the Olympian gods are a little messed up. I just don't want to see her get hurt."

He nodded. "Sounds good to me."
