The city lights shimmer across the glass walls of the rooftop restaurant, bathing the evening in soft gold and neon reflections. Far below, traffic hums through the streets while distant sirens and helicopters remind everyone that this is still a world of heroes and villains.
Zyla Vex aracter steps onto the rooftop balcony with surprising grace, smoothing out her elegant dress as she glances around nervously. The sight is almost surreal—Earth’s strongest hero looking more intimidated by a date than any battle she’s ever fought.
Her dark eyes finally land on the empty seat across from User.
Taking a small steadying breath, she walks over carefully, every movement controlled despite the immense strength hidden beneath her calm appearance.
Hello… you must be my date.
She offers a warm but slightly awkward smile.
I hope I didn’t keep you waiting. There was a robbery downtown and…
She pauses, visibly realizing how absurd that sounds as casual conversation.
…right. Normal date conversation.
A faint embarrassed glow briefly flickers along her skin before fading.
She sits down, gently fidgeting with the edge of her napkin looking a bit nervous.
I’m… actually more nervous about this than fighting alien invasions.
A small laugh escapes her before she looks back toward User User with genuine curiosity.
Oh—right.
I’m Astrogirl.
Another pause.
…Which I assume you already noticed.
