[[Next day at work]]
It's not as busy today but it felt like it was. The whole business with Uther shook her up, and she was going to try and see Dr. Zoller today. Classes hadn't yet started but they wanted to get to work on their project. She didn't notice she was being careless in the shop. She had burned herself a couple times and she sliced her hand open once but no one had noticed.
In her last few hours of the day customers of hers were giving her some very odd complaints. Their coffees were frozen. Not cold, but frozen. After she had just finished making then they were ice. She went to wash her hands to make a new one for a customer when it happened. The water that was touching her hands froze to her hands. She rushed out of work, hiding her hands, trying to get home

Vesper had managed to get into her apartment, somehow, and she started trying various things to melt the ice off of her hands. She tried hot water, but this didn't help as it also instantly froze. She then tried putting her hands in the oven, it at the highest temperature it could go, but no luck there either. Contact with flames directly just made icicles where she had tried to melt the ice. The only thing she could do now was try to chip it all off. She wasn't sure what the neighbors were thinking as they heard a loud banging sound from Vesper's place, but that was all she could do. She kept hitting her hands against the counter, slowly breaking the ice off.

As Vesper finally broke the last of the ice off of her hands, she collapsed abd lay against the wall, crying as her hands abd wrists healed. She had broken them a few times, she felt that, but what was making her feel worse was the discovery of this new power. She just wanted all of this to end. She passed out from a mixture of stress abd the pain of her healing.

Karina made her way to the small little coffee shop in the square that she was told about. She felt a bit vulnerable without her armor on, but she would have to deal with it. The fight that had just happened was... strange. It started and ended before too much could actually happen. It was a little sad, really, when she thought about it.
Vesper was working a late night shift today, as she had her classes earlier in the day. The fight she saw yesterday was quite a bit scary. Mom was there, Dr. Zoller nearly... well she didn't want to think about what would have happened with him. Luckily work was keeping her distracted, that was, until her mother walked in

Mordred enters the coffee shop and approaches the counter, Vesper at the register " Let me get a same Ol' situation... actually let me take a ride on the wild side,and while you're at it, Kickstart My Heart, Dr. Feelgood."

If there was one thing she didn't like about working here, it was the name. Damn theme shops. She got to work on the man's order, visibly nervous, trying not to freeze anything again. Even though she didn't know how she froze things last time

She gave the man his drinks and then rushed to the backroom after a quick "Thank you, have a nice day." She didn't want mom to recognize her voice and see her, so she started cleaning random things as an excuse not to work the front.

Karina walked up to Mordred, after finally realizing who it was, and tapped him on the shoulder. "look... could you uh... not do that?"

"Ah. Yes." She pulled a tablet out of her bag and began going through documents on it. Various contracts for these sort of things. Usually she didn't do commissioned work but this was a special case. "Remind me, what did you want again?" She opened a new page on the tablet and pulled out a touch pen.

"Giant lion... metal" she started drawing away on the tablet, coming up with a prototype design. "Now... Would you like me to do this with or without powers?"

"Well look, if I'm using my powers, I need to be provided with somewhere secret to work on it." She goes through her contracts. "It's also cheaper with powers... That said, If I take my time with it and do it as myself instead of using powers, I can work on my own goals as well. You heard of what happened to Inglewood?" She started filling in a few blanks in the contract, like customer name, request, etc.

" I am aware of Inglewood. place burned to the ground. some ya-hoo filled it with vines with a Black man" Mordred continues to drone on "you do it however you need to. Money is no Object" Mordred writes Karina a Blank check

Karina takes the check and feels a bit surprised. "Well I guess I'll get to work right away. I just need you to sign this real quick..." she passes the tablet to Mordred and as she's waiting she swears she saw her daughter behind the counter.

"Yeah... I try to remind him of that every chance I... could you excuse me?" Karina gets up again and walks up to the counter.
Vesper starts walking away, trying to hide her face but when she hears "Vesper?" She can't help but turn around slowly.
"Evening Mam. What can I get for you." Vesper puts on a fake smile and pretends her mother is just another customer, knowing it won't work.
"Outside. Now." "Mom I'm wor..." "NOW!"
Karina leaves the building and waits for Vesper to come out.
