                  ❛   rewind          how do you know who i am?   ❜ NOT EXACTLY the question she'd wanted to ask. she's caught off-guard. the shake to her words, the brief flicker of shock on her face. all too revealing. instinctively she wants to slam her front door in the woman's face. call one of the supers she knows for help. people showing up at her door knowing who she is ... what she does? that never goes too well for her.

claire feels a little sick thinking of just how big of a circle she's begun extending her services to. super or not how many of those people are trustworthy enough to never reveal her identity? how many of them are as careful as the defenders when it comes to her safety? last minute panic, go for a joke. ❛   you one of my new neighbors?   ❜

       ❛    while  i  am  flattered  by  the  invite,  i’m  not  sure  what  i can  do  for  you  here.   i’m  sure  you’re  well  acquainted  with  my...  tragic  tale.    ❜   hands  are  folded  neatly  in  her  lap  as  she  looks  up  at  evelyn,  smiling  thinly.   ❛    how  did  you  even  find  me ?   the  NSA  said  all  information  on  me  and  my  location  was  strictly  classified  and  confidential.    ❜

she MISSED hero work. while still living underground, she’d been able to convince herself she didn’t need it, that her life was better now ― but with the lift off of the bans on supers, she just HAD to get back out there. of course things weren’t the same. these were no longer the glory days. more than half the supers from her day weren’t around anymore. and the new supers, well, she didn’t make friends the easiest always. some things were still the same though. there would always be VILLAINS who would try and take you down.

❝ you know ― i really should be thanking you. sure you tried to get us all BANNED forever, but you had still helped elastigirl enough to make us legal again.  ❞
