Things have been... kind of weird lately. With school finally out, Rue doesn't really know what to do with her time. Between bugging Steve and Peter and finding excuses to be around Robin, there hasn't been much else going on. It's after she finds herself on the verge of a Space Hospital binge that she decides to go to the park instead, popping a xanny bar before heading out from the Home.

She spots Alex on a bench, and it'd be a lie to say she doesn't feel a little relieved that she's not the only one feeling kind of crappy today.

"Wow, you look like shit," she says, casually taking a seat next to ALex without asking.
