The Destroyer's Headquarters
The tele-portal delivers the team to just between U and V buildings.
Teleporting was minimal strain on Empress, but it adds on top of her previous exertions in the battle.
When everyone has come through and the portal closes, she says, "We're just across the street, but I could use a short break before we go into this battle.
Would anyone mind if we stop at that coffee shop over there, and I get a latte and a biscotti?
I have enough resources to fight now, but I'm concerned I will run out of energy far faster than if we take a quick rest.
Plus it will be a chance to get to know each other better."
She looks around. "I'm buying. Any objections?
It generally takes 1 hour or so for paparazzi to swarm me, if I'm spotted, but I don't think people will recognize me in this poorly fitting uniform, right?"
Despite wearing a janitorial/hospital attendant-looking uniform, her face and figure are hard to miss. She seems to have no idea that for her to blend in, she would need a motorcycle helmet and overcoat, or she is being overly optimistic.
