Comments

[herotvlive]

[Are they back to this again? She knows Sky High means well, but... why is he looking so flustered, anyway?]

What - You mean like the bathroom?

[Whatever hangups Keith has about the whole thing, Agnes doesn't share them. She waves away the suggestion impatiently.]

They showed me how to do that in the hospital. I managed all day without you, didn't I?

[Although that's... debatable. And it's not fair, after all the help, to leave Keith worried.]

If it makes you feel better, there's an aide coming in the morning. Okay? I just want to go to bed.

[Since her muscles are feeling better, it's time to try the crutches again. Using the couch arm for balance, she hoists herself up. It's a clumsy job, but she manages. The sense of accomplishment is oddly disproportionate. She's just standing, for God's sake.

If Sky High tries to carry her this time, he's going to get a crutch to the shin.]

[efflations]

Good, that's good!

[It does make him feel better to know that someone will come to help Ms Agnes with that sort of thing. And selfishly relieved to not need to worry about the uncomfortable subject himself.]

You're right, I should let you rest. I'll clean up and let myself out.

[He gets to his feet as she does but doesn't try to pick her up again yet. He does hover nervously by her though, ready to move in if she so much as stumbles. Even if she doesn't, he has every intent of following her all the way to the bedroom, just in case.

He can call her in the morning to see how she's doing. Or maybe just drop by after his morning jog. Even if she's having trouble Ms Agnes wouldn't say and if he turns up and she's alright he can always leave again.]

[herotvlive]

[Agnes makes a non-commital noise. She's concentrating on navigating. Who decided to put all the furniture so close together anyway?!

She gets about halfway down the hall before she realizes the cell phone is back in the living room. Great. It'll go dead if she doesn't get it.

Agnes is so used to being the only person in the apartment that, incredibly, Sky High has momentarily been forgotten. At least, until she swings around and knocks into him.]

[efflations]

Oh!

[The bump is all it takes for Keith to decide to scoop her up again and begin to carry her towards where she'd been heading previously - what he assumes is the bedroom.

How far he makes it before getting hit in the head with a crutch is anyone's guess.]

Please do be careful Ms Agnes!

[herotvlive]

[The thin veneer of patience finally disintegrates. (Un)Fortunately the hallway is too narrow to get a good swing.]

What do you think I'm trying to do?!

[Instead, Agnes throws a crutch across the bedroom doorway, stopping their progress. It's not exactly a solid strategy. This is one of the most powerful NEXTS in the city, after all. If he wanted to, it would end up in matchsticks.

She's too angry to care.]

Put.
Me.
Down.

Right now.

[efflations]

[Sky High has the sheer raw power at his disposal to send vehicles flying, to create hurricanes and to leave craters in his wake should he choose. In the face of one, average human's anger....

He cowers like a whipped dog.

To be fair, Agnes is anything but average and a wise man knows better than to get on her bad side. Even Keith knows better than to want to get on her bad side.]

O-of course! Right away!

[He lowers her back down as gently as if she were made of eggshells but remains planted firmly behind her. She needs to rest and whatever she was thinking of before can certainly wait till morning.]

I was afraid you might fall because of me. I don't want anything else to happen to you Ms Agnes. I only wanted to help.

[herotvlive]

[The immediate response mollifies her. Slightly. Whatever she'd meant to get has been forgotten. It probably wasn't that important. Agnes continues to her room, fuming. The pain is beginning to build into an insistent buzz. She's sick and tired of being Reasonable. If barking commands is what it takes to get Keith to leave - To stop making that face, stop looking at her like she's -

Broken, useless, helpless

- then that's what it takes. The scowl sets in. If there's any waver, he'll probably try to tuck her in or something. The words are even.]

"I... appreciate today. Now good night.

[The door doesn't slam. Agnes can't get enough momentum. Still, the click is loud and clear - Go home. ]

I am so sorry for the tl;dr

[efflations]

[Keith stands before the closed door for a long minute, staring at it in mingled confusion and hurt. He hadn't meant to upset Ms Agnes. She must be very tired. She did work so hard even when injured.]

Ah, good night Ms Agnes!

[Taking the hint finally he goes back to the main room to collect the plates and quickly clean up as promised. He still needs to go for his patrol and John will worry if he's late getting back. Regardless, he makes time to wash up and leave a cheery note stuck to the fridge thanking Ms Agnes (and thanking her again) for dinner and everything else. Then he slips out quietly as possible to go on his way.

If she's still awake later she may see him fly past the building, checking that everything looks quiet from without.

He'll check back on properly her in the morning, after his jog.

Or that's what he thinks anyway. As with many things, the following day doesn't go quite according to plan. First his patrol is busier than usual, keeping him out late and leaving him tired when he gets up the next day. Then just as he's finishing his morning jog there's a report of some criminals taking a group of hostages in a shopping district. When that's finally resolved he takes John out for his afternoon walk during which he runs into a poor man who's lost his wallet and needs to borrow some money, and a young woman selling flowers to buy food for her family, and some children who want to pet John and...

It's getting dark by the time he arrives outside Agnes' building again, carrying the flowers he'd bought earlier. He hopes she doesn't think he's forgotten her.

...The entrance is locked and needs a key or someone inside to unlock it. Staring at the intercom panel helplessly he tries a few buttons but no one can tell him which number is Ms Agnes' and after getting yelled at - the third time - he gives up. Stepping back to study the balconies jutting from the side of the complex, Keith looks around to make sure he's not being watched before lifting into the air. He just needs to remember which is the right one. And hope no one spots him from inside.]

Nah it's great! :D

[herotvlive]

["Day off" turned out to be a misnomer. At least Agnes got enough sleep. She had about five seconds to appreciate it before the pain demanded attention. Then she remembered the phone, eight hours too late and dead.

Things did not improve. Between coordinating the hostage rescue broadcast and therapy, the day passed in minutes. The nurse had a slightly easier time handling Agnes then Keith. (Possibly because at NO POINT did she offer to carry Agnes.) Still, they were both relieved when the session ended.

Now Agnes stands on her balcony, taking a rare minute to just enjoy the quiet. Sky High's threats promises to visit again have been forgotten. He's no more on her mind then any of the other heroes - until a shape darts past her railing. At first she's too flabbergasted to do anything. On the next pass, she hobbles closer to the edge, attempting to flag him down.]

"You idiot! Get in here!"

[efflations]

Ms Agnes!

[He brightens at the sound of her voice and drifts back over to drop lightly down on the balcony beside her.]

I'm so sorry I'm late! Again, I apologise! After the broadcast I had to walk John and there were some people on the way and then I couldn't get inside. But I'm here now!

[He beams at her like that explains everything because really, what could be clearer? And then remembers the bouquet of flowers he's carrying.]

Here! These are for you!

[herotvlive]

[Agnes just splutters and does not take the bouquet. She's too busy trying to puzzle out where she lost this story. Sky High nearly broke cover. If he scared the wrong neighbors the police could have called in on a rogue NEXT. (Oh God, they would NEVER hear the end of THAT.) And, most confusing of all, he's standing there grinning. As if this is the best part of his day.

Also, how is she supposed to carry flowers?]

[efflations]

[Fortunately for Agnes he realises his mistake almost immediately.]

Don't worry, I can take them inside and put them in a vase for you if you like.

[That was the issue, wasn't it?]

*facepalms*

[herotvlive]

[Agnes is too busy listening for alarmed cries from the nearby apartments. Or sirens. But neither seem to be coming.]

I - What?!

[It's not a "No," though, and the sliding door's open!

The apartment is messier then yesterday. Most of the furniture has been moved to the walls, leaving clear paths. The couch now has a laptop and the television set up next to it, with stacks of paper and spreadsheets. Keith's arrival has knocked several of them to the floor.

It's pretty obvious Agnes is not relaxing as much as she should be.]

*blink cluelessly* Whaaat?

[efflations]

[Really, what's the problem? It's hardly the first time he's used his powers out of costume and in a public place. It's not like he talks just like Sky High and has the same powers and may have been spotted in the company of a known hero or anything.]

You do have a vase, don't you?

[Rather than wait for an answer he's already trooping inside and making for the kitchen to find out. The mess makes him stop halfway with a frown and he turns back to scold her disapprovingly.]

Ms Agnes, you should be taking the time to rest and recover. If you push yourself too hard it will take even longer for you to get better.

[At least she's thought to clear herself space to move easier and hasn't tried to go into the office. But he's still glad he came by to make sure she takes care of herself.]

[herotvlive]

[And definitely not that a person with identical powers to Sky High's is visiting the home of HeroTV's producer. Complete coincidence, that.

Agnes hobbles after him, still playing catch up. The exhaustion and pain killers are keeping everything fuzzy. She's just aware enough of the slowed response time to be incredibly aggravated about it. Keith's right, the nurse is right, the doctors are right - she needs a break (Ha ha ha) and it's annoying.

Being nagged in the middle of her own apartment does not have a calming effect.]

What, this again? - Never mind, what the hell were you thinking? I could have told you I'm fine!

[Yes, considering the track record, Keith would ABSOLUTELY have believed that, Agnes.]

[efflations]

[He cocks his head at her question and blinks uncomprehendingly.]

I was thinking I'd promised to come check up on you.

[No really, what is the problem here?]

I'm sorry for interrupting your work but I'm sure you could do with the break anyway. Even if you are fine-

[Not believing that for an instant though. She'd said she was fine last night too and Keith's not sure she wouldn't have wound up sleeping in the office if he hadn't come by. Following that train of thought, he makes his way into the kitchen as he'd been meaning to from the start. Not only does it let him look for a vase and some scissors but he can check if there's any dirty dishes to show she's remembered to eat.]

That doesn't mean you can't need help too. There's nothing wrong with accepting help Ms Agnes. Nothing wrong at all.

[herotvlive]

[Yeah, she's not letting go of this. Especially not for a discussion she does not want to have.]

So you decided flying next to a building full of civilians without your suit in daylight was helping?! Why didn't you just call?!

[Just because of a promise, he decides to risk that? This is why they keep Sky High's sound bites short.

Keith's not going to find many dishes, but there are a few disposable ones in the trash. If he pays attention there's a few other concessions - Agnes is wearing loose pants, and her hair is tied back.

Also? Vases are in the top right cabinet.]

[efflations]

Because I wanted to make sure you really were OK. And I forgot I had my phone.

[And he's not sure he even has her number. Most of the time Agnes communicates with the heroes through their wristbands so the possibility of phoning her just didn't occur.]

It's alright. I checked no one was around.

[Except all those people inside the building whose windows he was flying past. But really, he still can't figure out why she's so worked up about it. It's not the worse thing he's done in terms of maintaining a secret identity. And it's of far less importance than Agnes' well-being.

It is reassuring to see she is taking care of herself a little. All he needs to do is convince her to stop working for a while (good luck there) and everything will be fine!

Grabbing out a vase and a pair of scissors when he finds them, Keith quickly sets to filling the vase with water and neatly chopping off the ends of the flower stems before putting them in the water.]

[herotvlive]

You... just...

[This is not working. It's like trying to explain why breathing is preferable to not breathing. What he just did was so fundamentally ridiculous that Agnes cannot formulate words.

It's not that she thinks he's stupid. Sky High has always a favored a direct approach. Most of his problems can be solved with his powers, after all. It makes for an efficient Hero, but not a strategist. That's Agnes's job. When there's an issue beyond NEXT abilities, that's where she comes in.

Looks like this is one of those times.

Alright, then. Change of tactics. Hitching a crutch solidly under her arm, Agnes points at Keith. She jabs the air with each word.]

Don't. Do. That. Again!

[efflations]

Eh?

[Keith freezes, staring wide-eyed at that jabbing finger like she might somehow do a Jake and send him flying with it. As the words sink in he drops his head apologetically and nods.]

I'm sorry. You're right. I won't invade your privacy again. I'm truly sorry.

[Agnes has a good point. She could've been doing anything when he flew by, even getting changed! He should've thought to call and let her know he was coming. Plucking up the vase of flowers he holds them out as a peace offering.]

I was worried about you. Can you forgive me?

[herotvlive]

[Well that... wasn't exactly the point, but it will work. Agnes taps him on the chest this time, to drive the point home.]

Okay - As long as we're clear!

[If she were more awake, she might notice the promise was NOT to stop flying around the building. Just that there would be a call first!

Then the bouquet registers. And his reasoning. This is... not the typical response after she's chewed someone out. It's jarring. How does Sky High manage to be so clueless and thoughtful at the same time?]

They're... nice.

[She's out of practice with people giving her flowers. At least she's not snapping any more.]

[efflations]

[Nod. Nodnodnod. They're clear as crystal - no flying into people's homes without warning. Got it.

He doesn't notice any awkwardness on her part and certainly can't imagine why Agnes wouldn't be used to getting flowers - she's the well known producer of HeroTV and a very beautiful woman. She must get plenty of gifts.

Smile back in place like it never left now that the problem has been resolved, Keith turns to look around the apartment again. Picking what seems a good spot he sets the flowers down for her.]

I'm glad you like them!

[That done he turns to picking up the papers knocked onto the floor, wondering if putting them away somewhere will succeed in making Ms Agnes relax for a while....

Probably not. That's fine, it's part the reason he came by in the first place.]

How are you feeling today? Do you need anything done?

[herotvlive]

[Good luck with the 'relaxing' thing, Sky High.

Agnes ponders Keith's question. It's no good lying with "Fine" again. If she tells the truth - "Tired and I am about to rip off my own leg" - he's going to start fretting and get that look on his face. Finally, she settles for vague.]

Better then yesterday.

[Which... covers a very wide range of possibilities. Before he can follow up, there's a buzzing. It's from the headpiece sitting in Agnes's ear, which she taps on.]

Yes? - No, green - No they are not the same!

[She's distracted from whatever Keith's doing with the papers.]

[efflations]

[Politely doing his best to tune out the conversation he finishes gathering the papers while studiously avoiding peeking at the contents. He's invaded Ms Agnes' privacy enough today, even if it is just work.

Sneaking glances at her over his shoulder to make sure she's still distracted, Keith folds down the laptop's screen and scoops it up too. Computer and papers in hand he heads over to find some shelves or somewhere similarly out of reach to put it all so she can't just go back to work.

Nodding in satisfaction when he's done he turns back to wait for her to finish her call.]

[herotvlive]

[Agnes is so focused on the call that she does not notice what her visitor is up to. Partly because who expects Sky High to manage anything remotely close to sneaky?

The conversation drags on, moving from the fine distinction between green and neon green to photoshoot logistics. Agnes feels her leg beginning to grouse again.
