You’re Her

@teenage-and-blue cont. from here:

Okay, really new then. That made a few decisions easy for Lucy, her grip on her backpack strap tightening briefly on hearing Roxanne’s second question. She chews on her lower lip carefully, mulling it over. “What kinda questions?”

Slipping back into more casual speech, hearing the hint of wariness in it makes the teenager wince. She was trying to sound more trusting than that.

“I’d like to know more about the city, your experience in it,” she waved a hand, she wouldn’t be able to use it in a piece but this would be far more engaging mentally than the puff pieces she’d been assigned lately. 

“About your childhood and so forth. My main experiences with Megamind were as an adult and in that kidnapping chair,” she put her hand on her hip, “I want to learn about the other side, the other possibilities. What do they call it? Mirror-verse? String theory?” she fluttered a hand not sure which thing it should be called without referencing notes. 

“Sorry, if that seems a bit too self-interested,” she ducked her head and tucked a bit of hair behind her ear, “My life has revolved around Megamind for nearly a decade… and now… I’m just realizing how much I don’t know.”
