Roy does what all teenagers do when they get to a new school: he heads to the library!

He peruses the shelves, looking for something that catches his eye!

Evelyn had wandered into the library during some of her time off, mostly just to see if she could find anything about what she had talked to Josh about: meta-human professional sports players. It wasn't exactly something she knew much about, personally.

Browsing the aisles idly, she glanced up when she heard approaching footsteps, tilting her head to one side. Ooh! New person!!

"Excuse me?" she said in her soft voice. "You're new, right?"

"Hm? Oh, hi." Roy stops, smiles and waves.

"Is it that obvious, or is the community here just really well-knit and everyone knows eachother?

"I just keep up with the new people as they come in."

Evelyn smiled at him, returning his wave with a little waggle of her fingers.

"I'm Evelyn Cravens. My friends call me Evie."

"Well Evelyn Cravens, I hope I earn the right to call you Evie." He smiles, extending a hand.

"Elroy Brann."

She reached out to shake his hand, still smiling. Her grip was soft and her shake was brief.

"It's nice to meet you, Elroy!"

She couldn't help the light laughter and nodded.

"Okay, Roy. What brought you here?"

"I don't think that's cheesy."

She offered him a soft smile.

"I think that's really great, actually."

She's not at all like the other two people he's met!

She giggled.

Her eyes flashed with happiness.

"Really? Thank you! Most people don't think that."

She pictured Jack.

And his office.

And his paperwork mountain.

Evie almost doubled over laughing.

"Hm, well, alright." He smiles, but isn't sure what's so funny as he shakes his head!

"So do you have awesome secretarial super powers?"

"Oh, I wish! There's this guy here who remembers everything he sees or does. That would make everything so much easier..."

She sighed, still smiling, and shook her head.
