Arrival at the Freedom Plaza
Kelsie's car ride with her mother to a point within walking distance of Freedom Plaza was quiet, though the silence was awkward rather than hostile. Kelsie had a complicated relationship with both of her parents, and them with each other, and considering where she was going she also had a lot on her mind.
"Okay, have a good first day Kelsie," her mother said with forced good cheer as she pulled up to a curb. Like she was dropping her off at a perfectly normal new high school. "Call us and tell us how it is. If you'll be spending the night, I'll be at the hospital at seven so you can talk to both of us, I'm sure you'll be done by then, right?"
"I hope so," Kelsie replied neutrally. She was neutral a lot lately. "Talk to you later, Mom."
Soon enough, the teen was heading for Freedom Plaza proper, costume and all. Her getup was surprisingly impromptu for someone that had been a "cape" for several years. An oversized black hoodie with black leggings, gloves, and trainers to match, and large black goggles with a cloth mask covering the rest of her face. She looked like she was on her way to paint a house, or maybe burglarize it, considering the color scheme. Wearing her outfit to something like this wasn't her first choice, but she knew better than to just turn up to a supers meeting in a situation where she could be photographed and cross-referenced later.
She looked over when one of the other apparent students spoke to her. "Blackwell" was a curious name, whether given or assumed, but she opted not to bring that up. "Hi, I'm Lefty. Nice to meet you too," she said instead. Rather than comment on the inherent oddity - or maybe absurdity - of the situation, she went for casual. "How's it going?"
