Myrtle clicked and tapped away at her tablet keyboard, sipping at her hot chocolate 
as she caught up on the global and national news on Parahumans Online. She had no new messages (no surprise, being the shy and awkward creature she is). She read an article about earthquakes in Bengledash, another article about Alexandria saving a plane full of people caught in a storm, Ash Beast tearing up another village, and a potential Bonesaw sighting (possibly a hoax).

The girl took a clumsy bite of muffin as she read, spilling crumbs into her long blond hair and on keyboard. Flustered and red faced, she quickly brushed the crumbs away, hoping nobody noticed, but not daring to look and see if they had.

A few clicks later, Myrtle found herself on the local Manchester news. She wanted to get better acquainted with the city and find out more about its heroes and villains. She found several mentions of their local Protectorate heroine, Wrecking-Ball, and she hoped to see the hero in action one day. There was also a fire-powered rogue known as Scorch, who was frequently seen at night. [color=8dc73f][i]Better be careful near that one,[/i] [/color]Myrtle thought, nodding.

Several arrests were made in the past week and Myrtle was pleasantly surprised see her name mentioned in one article. [color=8dc73f][I]New Heroine Wallflower Saves Manchester Resident,[/i] [/color]she read, beaming. The man was successfully charged with and arrested for sexually assault and is awaiting trial. The victim wished to remain anonymous but expressed her thanks.

Myrtle took another bite of muffin and chewed thoughtfully as she browsed the forums, looking for leads. Unverified sources suggested Asian gang activity at some of the local restaurants. Others posted last known locations of drug dealers. But the more she thought about it, the less she liked it. Myrtle was a pacifist, after all. She didn't want to pick fights. 

With a sigh, Myrt took another sip of her hot chocolate, but was disappointed to find it became cold chocolate. She chugged the last few gulps and the remaining whip cream, finishing it off.

After pressing the power button to shut off the tablet, she sighed and looked about the window, watching the passing cars and pedestrians. She wanted to help them, somehow.  And she didnt know how yet, but she would find a way to make a difference. 

Once the tablet was shut off, Myrtle put it away in her bag. She took a napkin from the dispenser and quickly wiped up the few crumbs and drips she left behind, then threw her trash away as she head for the door. She looked back toward the counter and saw Kali looking, so she flashed a small smile and little wave of her hand, before the door closed and the bell chimed behind her.
