[color=aba000]"Yes mom, I'll be running late,"[/color] Penny speaks into the mike of her headset as she flies to the observatory. [color=aba000]"Sorry, I know I should have mentioned this earlier, buuuut I got invited to a study session with some of the other students. Yeah, I know, it was pretty sudden for me too; I just... well, they just invited me I guess.

"Why is it windy? Uh, the window's open? Yeah, yeah mom, I'll try not to catch my death from a cold. Mom, I'm not a kid anymore... Look, just... I'll let you know when I'm heading home. I've arranged my own transport, don't worry. I'll keep you posted, okay? Love you, mom..."[/color]

With the phone call ended, she makes a landing in front of the observatory. She checks online maps to see if she got the right place, and takes a deep breath.

[color=aba000]"Penny, you're making a mountain out of a molehill,"[/color] she tells herself, trying to break her feelings of anxiety. [color=aba000]"You're just being asked by a former member of the Titans to help solve a case that's all. You don't know if they're restarting the Titans, so don't overthink this, alright? Alright."[/color]

She takes a deep breath, trying to stay calm and make a good first impression, before she opens the door and walks inside.
