King's Row
Seraph's house.
Neph returns from her ventures into Praetoria's past and collapses on the couch in full power armour, springs groaning under her weight, pulling off her helm she lets out a long sigh.
Caroline hops up next to her. "Still in a shit sandwich?" The younger girl asks.
Neph groans. "Fucking Oroborous, they say I need to maintain the time line, but man is it hard, everything I do leads into some new fuck up."
Caroline looks her over. "So that's why you had dad make you power armour?"
"No the armour is because my nice clothes kept getting full of bullet holes."
Caroline shakes her head. "This is why you get a costume from the beginning, like me."
"Oh, miss "spadex is fine till it rides u-"
Caroline cuts her off. "We do not speak of the spandex time, we only acknowledges the era of moulded Kevlar."
"Still think a secret identity is stupid in this city, what when you have to register with the government and all that."
Caroline shrugs. "Some of us like having private lives.... I mean, I beat the shit out of the skulls, you think they leave this building standing if they knew I lived here?"
Neph thought. "Nah, they be more pisses a 16 year old stopped their drug empire."
"Nearly 17." Caroline whines.
"What ever, less talk, more big sis trying to unwind from shit show time travel" Neph shoos her off.
