@alexdanvers-rp gets a plotted starter!
Charlie had been here for several months now, in National City. It wasn’t exactly planned, but so far she had been working on finding her place - she had a tiny little apartment of her own and was doing her best to find a good job, the best she had managed though was helping out in this small shop. It was nice enough, but it wasn’t exactly a steady job yet, barely covering her rent so far. But she was happy enough, quickly learning Coffee orders and smiling as she spoke to a few customers that she had come to learn the names of.
It had already been a bit of long day and it was a little hard to keep her chipper mood as she fought to not roll her eyes at one of her co-workers that was quite the flirt. She was a little distracted when she heard someone cry out - a Coffee Scald. Charlie moved quickly to help the poor woman - fighting not to show on her face - clearly it was a bad burn - no doubt Andrew had boiled the water a little too hot for drinking again.
“Are you okay?! Oh stupid question - of course you aren’t okay.” She held out a cloth, turning around to her co-worker as she called out for some ice, at this same time her hand moved - brushing against the woman's injured hand, “I’m so sorry about this - you’d think he’d know the right temperature by now but clearly he doesn’t.” She was talking, not realizing what she had just done - her touch was light but her instincts kicked in - sensing the pain and acting without thought.
