Accidental Drinking Buddies || Alex and Kristen || V9 W2 || Tuesday Afternoon

 @shootembetweentheeyes​

After coming back from one of her lame Fortis assignments, Kristen needed a drink desperately. The only good things about her mission were that they at least had some action and got her to spend some time away from New York for a little while.

One of the bars she frequented was still closed this early, so Kristen found herself at the nearest liquor store instead. The shelves were lined with alcohol ranging in price and quality. She made her way straight to the bourbon section and grabbed her favorite brand. It was one of the more expensive brands but well worth the price.

She spun back around and nearly collided with a man behind her. One would have thought that with telepathy she'd have seen that coming, but Kristen had been too eager to start drinking the bourbon. For a moment, she just stared, taking him in and debating whether or not to apologize. It wasn't usually in her nature, but she did like to play with people and he looked a bit fun. "Sorry."

Inquisitive || Sasha & Jenny || V9 W2 || Wednesday Morning

@more-than-one-me

Ever since her run in with Percy last week, Jenny had been wondering if there was a way, other than relying on technology, to track some of the other Hunters. She’d also wanted some advice and had heard through the grapevine that Sasha was the go-to woman for that.

Deciding that today was as good a time as any, she left her garage and headed to the school. As she did, a part of her wondered if maybe selling the car garage was in her best benefit. She was hardly there anymore and her customers were already starting to go to other mechanics. But now wasn’t the time to think about that.

It only took her a few minutes to campus, since her garage was so close, and then she found herself outside Sasha’s office. Jenny didn’t hesitate to knock on the door and when there wasn’t an answer, she slowly opened it and peeked her head around the corner. “Hello?”

Discord || Teddy & Alistair || V9 W2 || Tuesday Afternoon

@teddyastrid

He’d been at the campus about a week now and nothing exciting had happened yet. Alistair wasn’t sure if that was good or bad, but either way, it was boring. Part of him felt a little betrayed, though, with the upcoming registration. It was supposed to be his correspondence with the President that would have made the decision to go through with it. At least it was voluntary. For now, but he wasn’t sure how long it would stay that way.

With his sister on his mind during all that was going on, he decided to go to breakfast and write her a short letter, telling her all that was going on. Occasionally he liked to ask for her advice, especially when making decisions, but he didn’t think now was the circumstance to ask. She’d probably be feeling just as confused with the registration, and maybe a little betrayed by him.

So he left out his usual request for advice and dropped her letter in the mail after eating. Spotting someone he hadn’t seen on the campus before, he decided to ask for directions. It was a quick way to see if they were someone who was supposed to be here or a danger. Either way, he really did the direction. 

“Excuse me.”

For the Troubled Soul || Nick & Kristen || V9 W2 || Wednesday Evening

@nicholas-wycliffe

She’d only been back from her mission for about 2 days but with the news of a voluntary registration that weekend, Kristen couldn’t bring herself to stay sober. Especially with just sitting around waiting for another assignment. She stopped at an alcohol store near her apartment, different from the one she’d bumped into Alex at, and picked up a bottle of bourbon again.

The place was pretty empty for the time of day, though it was during the week and not everyone was like her. Not everyone drank at the first sign of boredom., although, this was New York. Anything was possible.

Pushing the door open as Kristen left the small wine and spirits store, she hit someone smack in the face. “Oh!” She bit her lip a little and looked a bit apologetic, though didn’t actually say the words. “I haven’t even started drinking yet and I’m already fucking other people up.” Must be a goo night.

Tension || Kristen & Peter || V9 W2 || Tuesday Evening

@petey-petrelli

After taking some down time when she returned from her previous mission, Kristen finally decided to check in, though she was complete reluctant about it. Part of her wanted to take a few more days to just lounge around, but she knew better than that. Not only would Peter had been upset, not that she cared, but it wasn't in her nature to take too long of a break. Especially not when there was potential to get back at those who'd wronged her.

She stopped at Starbucks for coffee before heading over to Fortis, hoping the caffeine would keep her from falling asleep during the meeting. When she finally got to the campus, Kristen look horrified and pleased at the same time.

Parts of the place looked like it's gone through hell in the few months she'd been gone on her mission. Maybe it shouldn't have made her happy since it meant Evo's were probably being attacked, but she liked the fact that Fortis was getting some payback

After about a minute of taking in the scenery, Kristen headed toward the Fortis building to meet in with Peter and almost his him in the face with the door as she walked in. "Ooooh. Sorry." She smiles innocently at him and although it really was an accident, Kristen was completely amused by the situation.

Upside Down || Alvie & Shay || V9 W1 || Thursday Afternoon

@luis-alvie

Her conversation with Alex had gone a little bit better than expected, though Shay couldn’t help to not trust him for a while. It wasn’t necessarily his fault, but at the same time, it kind of was. He had a chip in his brain, so what else was she supposed to think? Was it still active? What was it’s purpose? How long had it been in Alex’s head? All those questions swirled around Shay’s mind and there was nothing she could do to stop them.

But the text message from Robert made Shay drop her keys.

She stared at it for several minutes, not quite sure what to say. A small part of her wanted to tell him to fuck off, but that wasn’t really how she felt. Grumbling to herself after finally sending a reply, Shay stooped down and started searching for them, hoping to god that her keys hadn’t fallen in the storm drain. Of course, that would have been her luck.

Pick-Me-Ups || Hank & Meredith || V9 Late Wednesday Afternoon

@illusioncreation

With his new found experience, Hank had been able to land a decent job quite quickly since coming home. It paid enough for him to comfortably help Shay with rent and give him the remnants of a social life. Plus he was finally learning how to actually cook - which was not something he’d even given much thought towards before then, given that previously pretty much every single one of his meals had been made for him. 

He wasn’t cooking today, however, the manager just had him taking orders, since they’d been busy and he was still learning the ropes. But now that things had started to settle after the lunch time rush, Hank was able to breath and take a note of the customers left, dotted around the restaurant. 

A familiar face, sitting at the end of the bar stuck out to him, and Hank couldn’t stop himself from going up and saying hi. Just thinking about how much had happened since that time at the same diner, it made his head hurt. 

“Hey stranger, you’re looking a little bummed out.” He said, surprised he could remember how their conversation went all that time ago, given that most days he couldn’t remember what he had for breakfast.

Vendetta || Percy & Jenny || V9 W1 || Thursday Evening

@franklinsteins-monster

It had been at least a month since Jenny stopped trying to track down the last remaining Hunters in the area, but that didn’t mean she forgot a face. The moment she saw Percy’s face, Jenny couldn’t wipe the snicker from hers. How on earth had she been lucky enough to just bump into him in the city? Especially considering how big this place was.

Almost unable to resist, she walked up behind him and accidentally bumped into him, spilling her coffee. “Oh god, I’m so sorry.” With how crowded the street was, this was the only way to seem less conspicuous about their meeting. Besides, Peter wouldn’t have been too happy with her if she attacked someone in the middle of New York with a street full of witnesses.

“Umm, are you alright?”
