 Cafeteria Nonsense (Mike/Open)

Rebecca was beginning to regret her decision as she looked over the food available in the cafeteria.  Even thinking about eating still left a sour taste in her mouth after all these years, but she'd had enough of physical conditioning over the years to handle the challenge at hand.

That, and she didn't want to go all the way back to her pod to make something there.  At least they had appliances out here.

She hangs back a bit, hugging the walls and pulling a couple of small fruits and veggies, stuff that would only last the day before being replaced.  Most annoying was the fact that it would probably cost her as much as a full tray of the food most people get.

Mike was standing in front of Rebecca, holding up the line as he looked at the different soups that they had out. He couldn't make up his mind, and he was just kind of staring at them with a furrowed brow.

"Hmmmm."

Rebecca smiles as she sees who's in front of her, though apparently Mike's soup dilemma has him rather engrossed.

"Tough decision?"

"Yeah. I always get the chili. And it's really good. But I don't know if I want the Chicken Noodle."

To stick to what he knows. Or to branch out. That was the question.

"That is tough." She shakes her head. "I can't really help with that one, but it never hurts to try new things?"

"Okay."

He said with a nod.

"I'll risk it."

He gets the Chicken Noodle soup!

"Thanks Becca."

Try something new with the encouragement and support of your friends! You can even blame them when things go horribly wrong!

"That's me. The ultimate dinner decider." She smiles at the preferred nickname and nods. "So, how have you been? You look a little...rough." Which was saying something, considering his power, but Mike did have a few bruises on him.

"Eh, no big deal. Misjudged a fifty foot drop after a few explosions. It's fine."

He brushed off her concern by walking forward and paying for his meal, glancing back and paying for her fruit as well.

"How have you been?"

"You what?" Her eyes widen at the explanation, but waits until they are away from the checkount line to continue.

"How did you manage that?"

"You what?" She's got good hearing, but she wasn't entirely sure what possessed Mike to do what he just said he'd done.

"You let him..." She shakes her head and, rather than going directly to a table, goes and gets a cup of ice before heading to the blender next to the microwave.

"Did it work?" The device or his reasoning, Mike could determine which she meant on his own.

"I guess it worked. We will see." He said as he walked over to grab a table for them.

Well that was cryptic. It gave her something to mull over as she blended the food and ice into a smoothie, pouring into the cup the ice had been in before joining him.

"Why?"

"To see if my power would protect me from it."

He shrugged as he stirred his soup absentmindedly with his spoon.

"And we will see if it helps me improve."

"Oh." That made sense, at least. The first part, anyway. She nods, swirling the smoothie and wishing she'd gotten water to add to it. Oh well.

"Improve your durability?"

"Might make the other person feel better." Rebecca shrugs and decides she might as well take the plunge. "But no, it wouldn't really help with that." She takes a deep breath, sighs, and starts to raise the glass to her lips before remembering that it's a glass...made of glass.

"Shit." This could get messy.

"Huh? Oh, yeah." She sets down the glass with a sigh. "I just have to be quick about it, I guess." Oh right. Rebecca, people don't live inside your head; they can't see your thoughts.

"I didn't feel like heading back to the pod, but I kind of forgot that there's no way to avoid contact with the cups here. The glass is going to decay when I start, so if I go quick enough, I'll only have to worry about brain freeze and not a huge mess." And the flavor. Why did she have to eat still to survive?

"...." Rebecca buries her face in her hands, fingers sliding through her hair as she groans.

"Sorry. I'm just so used to having to watch everything I touch that it's a habit to avoid a lot of things." She pulls her face away and grabs the glass again. "It does crystallize, though. Either way, it won't help the taste." Case in point as she takes a large drink, swallowing several times before putting it down with a deep breath and a shudder.

"And to think most people like non GMOs."

"GMO's?"

He got that the face was because it tasted bad.

"May I make a suggestion that might help you?"

"Genetically modified foods." Like the stuff that prevents food from decaying as quickly.

She makes a face and glares at the glass as if it's done something offensive, tilting her head to one side as she regards Mike.

"Sure."
