SO : there was a vegan health good store where her apartment used to be, the man who gave her the daddy issues she’d spent years in therapy for was no longer her father, and to top off all of this, GUSTAVE EIFFEL - a villain vanya had vivid memories of meeting a very final end about twenty years ago - was terrorizing new york city. great. 

they were only a month into a brand new timeline that had already thrown so many spanners into the works, on top of all of the things that the original flavor hargreeves had already been dealing with. ALREADY, PREDICTABLY : THINGS WERE GOING DOWNHILL. when vanya emerged, glumly, from her favorite antique store on sixth ( unchanged on the outside, but manned not by the familiar grey haired wendy she had come to know and love but instead the burly RUSTY who introduced himself in pleasant, dulcet tones on her entry ), the last thing she expected to find, and frankly, hoped to see, was the opposite tv stores window showing an URGENT NEWS REPORT. the rolling footage of the eiffel tower, now relocated to the center of times square, had many a person stopped stock still and slack jawed on the side walk. for VANYA, however, it was the cherry atop a rather unappealing sundae.

kind of like the one she imagined the vegan store that had replaced her humble home would serve.

the  eiffel  tower  going  apeshit  in  paris  and  crushing  a  bunch  of  people  ?  bad  .  the  eiffel  tower  being  a  spaceship  that  landed  on  times  square  and  was  currently  crushing  a  bunch  more  people  ?  very  bad  .  the  fact  that  while  callen  had  considered  herself  powerless  to  help  before  and  now  felt  an  odd  sense  of  responsibility  to  help  defend  a  city  she'd  spent  less  than  a  month  in  ,  in  her  whole  life  ?  decidedly  ,  undeniably  ,  blatantly  worse  .  bad  .  so  bad  ,  in  fact  ,  that  the  brunette  found  herself  bouncing  on  the  balls  of  her  feet  ,  most  likely  ruining  the  heels  on  her  shoes  completely  ,  pondering  her  options  .  she'd  helped  get  some  people  out  of  public  spaces  —  that  was  an  easy  ,  responsible  call  to  make  and  she'd  had  no  hesitation  .  but  what  now  ?  was  she  expected  to  just  sit  there  ?  was  she  supposed  to  catch  a  ride  towards  whatever  life  threatening  scenario  awaited  her  and  do  her  best  not  to  fuck  it  up  too  badly  ?  in  the  back  of  her  mind  ,  the  idea  of  reginald  hargreeves  having  a  superhero  101  manual  somewhere  in  the  townhouse  she  stood  staring  at  didn't  seem  as  ridiculous  as  it  had  appeared  the  day  before  .  "  fuck  it  .  "  what  was  the  worse  that  could  happen  ,  realistically  ?  not  allowing  herself  to  fill  in  that  blank  seemed  like  the  wisest  idea  she'd  had  so  far  .  there  were  cars  speeding  past  ,  yes  ,  but  they  seemed  to  be  moving  away  from  the  action  .  not  her  idea  .  no  ,  instead  she  waved  her  hand  in  front  of  her  face  ,  trying  and  failing  to  stop  any  of  the  cabs  zooming  down  the  street  .  "  shit  ,  taxi  !  c'mon  .  this  is  ridiculous .  "
