We just finished yet another mission, nothing big, just some robbery down the street. We arrived at the designated, after-mission, house, Voyd's house. Karen was like a second mother to all of us, she was everyone's Cool Aunt. When she found out we were doing this, she told us to come to her house after we finished.
We entered the house and immediately slumped down on her couch. Yes, the mission wasn't hard today but we were all exhausted. Finals were coming up, we were all pulling all-nighters, struggling to finish work in time, even Hiro was pulling all-nighters. Being a hero and a highschool student wasn't easy.
Karen came in with a plate of snacks.
"So... how was it?"
As if planned, we all looked at her with tired eyes and sighed in unison. Penny was the fist to speak.
"Not bad..."
"Then, what happened?"
"Highschool" answered Hiro while leaning back on the couch.
"Got it," said Karen as she set the plate of snacks down on the coffee table, "I'll be in my room; if you need anything just..."
"Scream" we all replied in unison.
"Thanks Karen" I said with a half smile.
There were a few seconds of silence until Penny spoke again.
"Well at least it was fun."
"Penny you say that after every single mission."
"But it's always true Vi!"
"Yeah..."
"I don't know about y'all, but I'm gonna go home and sleep for like ten hours, bye" said Wilbur standing up from the couch.
"Bye!" Penny and Hiro answered. I stayed silent.
"You should really fix this between you and Wil, right now it's just awkward"
"I know Hiro, but it's easier said than done..."
"Look, Vi, I know what he did was wrong, but that happened five years ago. Plus, you two are affecting the team dynamic."
I don't answer, I just look down. Maybe I should forgive him, maybe I should let it go...
"Vi?" My thoughts are interrupted by Penny's voice.
"I'm sorry, what was that?"
"I asked you, what happened between you and Wilbur?"
"Yeah, I also want to know." Said Karen entering the room.
"... okay, sit down"
"Yay, gossip!"
"Well... it all happened five years ago..."
