Heidi was not going to complain about the curtain. Sure, it wasn't ideal, but she'd made do with worse before. So the sudden appearance of a complete en suite bathroom was a shocking surprise. She couldn't keep the smile off her face when she looked back at the Wizard and gave him an appreciative nod of thanks. While changing, Winnie was conversing with her through the door, telling her many interesting and zany stories. Heidi told some humorous anecdotes of her own. Stories of military downtime and shenanigans she and other soldiers got up to. She did not touch on any combat encounters or serious moments, and it was obvious she was mentioning Awe as little as possible. Not out of any sense of secrecy, but merely to stay in a good mood. Heidi had finished grieving properly but the death of her best friend and longtime work partner still hurt to dwell on.

After twenty minutes, Heidi emerged from the bathroom in full costume, looking like a completely different person. She was masked. Her large coat and baggy jeans were now replaced with a skintight suit that exposed her arms, shoulders, upper back, abdomen, and basically every other area with visible musculature. Her previously messy, limp hair was curled and styled, lipstick was applied and she was wearing a domino mask over her eyes. She was also standing up straighter, with a focused look in her eye and a more confident smile on her face. Before, she was Heidi Williams. Now she was Shock.

She cracked her knuckles and began stretching her legs the moment they stopped. She could see out the van window, the basic situation. The Atrium was indeed crawling with targets, and beset with wild vines and flora. The intel had been good after all. [color=yellow]"Oh, I'll live up to my name. The challenging part will be holding back. They've told me to be non-lethal while dealing with a warehouse full of armed guys right next to the sea. That won't be easy."[/color]

Aria, Caine, and anybody else who may have arrived the same time as the two of them, would see Shock approach. Though they likely may not have recognised her at the briefing, there was no mistaking now that the woman before them was one of the two blonde masked Heroes who's face was a frequent occurrence on the military recruitment ads that periodically trespassed onto billboards or television commercial breaks. It was slightly jarring in of itself just to see her accompanied by an elderly Wizard instead of a near-identical twin. Shock and Awe were seldom ever discussed or addressed individually.

[color=yellow]"What's the situation?"[/color] Shock asked with a Spartan efficiency, getting right to business.
