[text to ‘audrey’]: i [text to ‘audrey’]: um [text to ‘audrey’]: how was ur break?

Lola was in a great mood. She’d spent the entire break with her father, so nothing could bring her down. 

“Hi!” She smiled. “How was your break?”

Even though she’d been back for a few days already, Nikhita couldn’t stop smiling. Her break in Calcutta had been wonderful; being back home, seeing her family again, walking the familiar streets of the city. She couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. As she headed back to her apartments from class, her mind was still back in India reliving the past few weeks. It was only brought back to the states when she felt herself slam into someone else, and her smile faded slightly. “Oh I’m so sorry! Are you alright?”

Being back at Aeterno made Audrey feel like there was a swarm of butterflies in her stomach. Every person she walked by made her smile grow wider and her mood pick up. As much as she had enjoyed being back at one of the S.H.I.E.L.D bases, Aeterno had started to feel more like home to her than anything else. Lost in the feeling and thoughts going through her mind, Audrey hadn’t even noticed she was about to run into someone until it was too late. Stumbling backwards she quickly shot her head up and rushed to apologize. “No it’s totally my fault! I should’ve been more careful. I’m okay, don’t worry. But are you okay?”

       the first thing audrey noticed when she came to was that she was cold and her face felt wet. even her breathing was ragged and she could feel the sense of panic buzzing  inside of her still, but it didn’t make sense. pushing herself up off the ground she could tell that she had been laying down on the front steps of the dorms, but with no memory of even leaving her bed. all she knew was that she was ALONE and AFRAID.        her mother and her siblings were all at the academy with her       there was no reason to feel alone       security had been increased since the last kidnapping       and she hadn’t been fearful before now             ( so why was her heart still beating so fast                   and why were her eyes still prickling with tears? )       rubbing furiously at her face, audrey tried to calm herself down by counting down from ten. she had gotten to five when the sound of someone approaching. her entire body became rigid and the contricting feeling in her chest started to come back until she noticed who the person was.             “d-dad?”                 was he really back or was this just a trick her mind was playing on her in       her panicked state? “d-dad is that YOU?” the more she looked at him the more       something seemed off about him. that only made her even more tense than before,       but she was able to rise to her feet and stumble forward.

           She was glad to have her twin in her arms. She was always worried about Audrey whenever she was away. She loved her with all of her heart. When she was away she spent a lot of her time thinking about her sister. She wished that she had finished the mission before now.              “How have you been?” She asked looking at her twin. She smiled warmly at the nickname. She had always loved that nickname. She didn’t mind the extended hug. Whenever she was apart from her twin she always hugged her twin as tightly as she could. “I’m sorry I couldn’t get here sooner. After the mission they wouldn’t let the debriefing end.” She said shaking her head with a sigh.             She pulled away from the hug with a sigh. All of the bruises and injuries that she had gotten from the mission were hidden from sight which she was thankful for knowing that her twin would worry about her. “I’m okay. Every mission give you your bumps and bruises, but they’ll heal.”

“He was just wandering around school! He looked so lost so I picked him up.”

“Aw that’s super nice of you! Does he have a collar or anything on him that shows he’s got an owner?”

“i’m sure dad will make his appearance soon and acknowledge us again but until then i’m perfectly happy with you guys and mom.” his dad’s absence really didn’t bother matthew. at least not anymore. whether it was hydra or some “mission” he was used to it. but audrey held some hope and well… who was he to destroy that. “actually that would be great and it’ll give us a chance to catch up”

“Okay, I’m going to be honest, I was not 100% listening to you. But look at this dog!”

“Oh that’s alright it hap--Oh  my gosh! What a cutie pie! Where did you find them?”

“If anyone asks, I do not currently have seven cats in my dorm room right now.” She said, “But that being said if you have any cream or cat food currently not in use… I’d love to borrow it.” 

Audrey giggled at the girl’s words, deciding to play along. “Well in that case, I might have some cream that I don’t need. I don’t think my roommate needs it either. Not sure about the catfood though.”

After nothing but rest and sleep since he rescue, the male was itching for a run. Venturing into the training room the speedster didn’t waist time getting on the treadmill and turning it on. He started easy but it wasn’t long before the speedster was a blur to anyone who was watching. His legs were still sore but it felt good to run. 

His attention was caught by someone. 

“Y-” His foot slipping on an off beat sending him flying off the treadmill cutting off any sort of reply.

Audrey had noticed the blur out of the corner of her eyes and grew curious. It took her a couple of seconds to realize that it was a person, well a speedster to be exact, but once she did her attention was captured completely. Her fascination quickly turned to worry when the blur suddenly went flying, causing Audrey to let out a tiny shout. Rushing completely into the room, Audrey knelt down near the now recognizable professor and frowned. “Are you okay? I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean for that to--- are you alright?”

“I was making a joke of it, but I’m still very antsy about the kidnappings, when you have super strength, trying to spin a staff isn’t easy. The joke is, the wood’s actually hella strong. See, less than a gut-buster” he said in a soft tone. “I understand, it’s been a bit rough here and there.”

Audrey actually snorted after he explained it, shaking her head softly. “It’s not that bad though. At least you’re trying?” She offered with a gentle laugh. “That’s true, but we have our people back and that’s what matters the most right now. Gotta look at the bright side.”
