A Tale of Mischief and Mutants

Lo'

—-Loki—-

The end of the week finally comes and Sam is given the all clear from Doctor Cho to start walking around without help. Walters has been talking with the legal department of the M.R.D and it's looking like their going to drag this into court. I'm sitting down with her and discussing what needs to be done before we go to court.

"Sorry to be blunt but it's bullshit. They're stalling it's the equivalent of throwing a temper tantrum. It should be a quick deliberation."

"Be as blunt as you like Ms. Walters."

I take a sip of my tea. Walters goes on.

"The only thing I would be worried about is the fact that she will have to make an appearance in court. It's just procedural they won't make her say anything or get up on the stand. She just needs to be there so they know she's aware of what's going on."

That's going to be hard for Sam to do. She's just started being ok with being in the room alone after what happened with those agents and she is just barely ok with the doctors being in the room when I am there. I don't think she's ready for a room full of people but we don't really have a choice. She can do this though she's strong, stronger then she gives herself credit for. Walters begins to collect her things.

"I'm sorry I should be going I'm juggling two cases right now."

"Go ahead, thank you Ms. Walters."

Again I employ the common gesture of kissing her hand then open the door for her.

"Aww it's not a problem Lo' and call me Jennifer, heck call me Jen."

I'm taken aback by her sudden use of a nickname and casual way she acts around me. Thor would be beaming as it seems I'm making friends.

"Good day Jen."

Then I hear her mumble to herself as she leaves when she thinks I'm out of earshot.

"Deranged supervillain my ass."

I can't help but smile.
