Velma had smiled enjoying Dawn’s refreshing natural nature and honest openness when an unknown young man (Jake) came up and recognizing her called her by her Handle “Lady Gaia” a name the World fund had stressed made her a softer profile and wonderful PR Representative. 

Then Alice Godspeed who may or may not have met the actual deity Gaia being a Demigod and all then walked up and Vel couldn’t help but express her surprise and delight by filling the air around her with the slightest scent of honeysuckle and fresh grass. 

It was one her strongest tells “Scent” She didn’t blush except when exposed to strong light which was her skin’s method of absorbing sunlight while filtering out those frequency that interfered with the conversion.

She was about to respond when the world decided to drag her along for the ride.

Velma listened to Mr. Knight still curious if he shaved it or it was natural. His speech was a bit militant but it was him. As he continued she studied him and as she did so she compared herself with him adding in that which she knew she shared with her mother. 

Once more she was disappointed but understood she could still be wrong and Mister knight the Father her mother never spoke of; for all she knew she had no father. Mutant reproduction was still filled with unexpected possibilities. 

When he finished speaking Vel was surprised; Dawn said [color=f49ac2]“I don't know about anyone else but... I’m in.”[/color] with more confidence than when she’d introduced herself.

[color=yellow]Vel you can’t keep doing this, look at you. What would be second maybe third degree burns over 40 % of your body and missing two fingers[/color] said Sygyn an elder member of the group Velma worked with.

[color=seagreen]He bit them off before I could restrain him, he should have never done that.[/color] she says sitting on her inflatable bed staring at her hand and smiling as she can already see the budding tissue that will be her replacements.

Then her head snapped up as one of the interns brought in a letter and her lunch and she might have paid quicker attention to the letter if not for the disturbing nature of her meal.

[color=seagreen]Get them off, get them out [/color] she says annoyed and turning away

[color=yellow] What are you doing boy?[/color] demands Sygyn taking the covered tray from him and shooing the boy out with plans to scold him later. Then with the greatest care he searched her hamburger and found the disturbance; fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion which he pulled off and carried out and handed it the the confused Intern telling him to carry it to refuse.

When he reentered the tent he found Vel eating the rare burger in a most unladylike manner.

[color=seagreen]I don’t like fresh veggies….I can hear them crying.

I want my veggies cooked, pulverized, and liquified[/color] said Vel in between bites.

Sygyn saw the letter and held it up to show Velma it was for her and she waved it off giving him permission. She knew from his expression that Sygyn wasn’t happy with what he read but didn’t ask as she finished the burger then drank a large milkshake down.

It was two hours before he spoke and told her of the invitation letter to be part of a Hero Team.

It was after another 4 hours that she convinced him that she needed to attend; she’d sent her acceptance via channels
