Spacing out while sitting at the break room table, Leo jumped when his cell phone had a mini explosion of incoming text messages. He had forgotten that since it had been set on “Do Not Disturb” during the advertisement meeting, any messages sent to him earlier came in on a delay. He picked up his phone to see who was trying to reach him. [color=fff79a][i]We’re out of food again?[/i][/color] Leo rolled his eyes as he read his roommate’s text. [color=fff79a][i]I thought I just picked some up last week! What does Reed do with it all?[/i][/color] His fingers worked nimbly as he typed out a reply:

[center][b]To: Reed[/b]
[sub][color=fff79a][i]Dammit Reed. You gotta stop eating like a fat man. Groceries are expensive. But yea, I can stop and grab a few while I’m out[/i][/color][/sub][/center]

Hitting the send button on the first reply, Leo opened up the next message, which had been sent from Ryder. He sighed audibly as he read that she had been out drinking again. Whenever they hung out together, he always took it upon himself to keep her from getting completely wasted, but he couldn’t do that when she partied without him. Really, she wasn’t his responsibility—Ryder was an adult and could make her own decisions—but Leo always felt the need to try and help the girl out when those decisions were less than good for her. He tapped out a quick text back:

[center][b]To: Ryder[/b]
[sub][color=fff79a][i]No bueno. Hope you feel better soon! BTW I’m stopping by the grocery store so let me know if you want me to grab you anything. Later[/i][/color][/sub][/center]

Leo sent the second reply and checked out the last messages that had been sent from Ida. The short string of hasty typos and corrections made him laugh. Oh, the joy of autocorrect. It was more amusing than it was useful. He wrote a reply:

[center][b]To: Ida[/b]
[sub][color=fff79a][i]Hell no! I’m screenshotting that for blackmail. You better be on your best behavior ;)[/i][/color][/sub][/center]

Leo was just finishing up his second sandwich—roast beef and cheddar; they were too good to have just one—when Ida arrived in the break room. [color=fff79a]“Hey,”[/color] he grinned as she joined him at the table. Breaks were always more fun when he could spend the time chatting with someone else, and Ida was a great person to do that with.

[color=fdc68a][b]“So, are you free after work?”[/b][/color] Ida asked. [color=fdc68a][b]“I was stalkin’ Zay’s twitter last night and heard she’s performing. You wanna go?”[/b][/color]

[color=fff79a]“Shoot, I wish I could, but I already made plans to defend the city from evil this afternoon,”[/color] Leo said with a wink. [color=fff79a]“You know, hero business comes first and all that… Maybe next time.”[/color] He popped the last bite of sandwich into his mouth. [color=fff79a]“Actually, I don’t think I’m doing anything today. My roomie needs me to pick up some food at the store later, but I’m free apart from that. So yeah, I’d be down to go! A live performance by Zay sounds awesome.”[/color]
