Small hands played with the singular leaf in her hand, a small smile passing her lips. Meara never went outside in fear of harming people, but three months from any incidents, she built up courage to go outside. Of course, it was the dead of night - it would take her a while before she went out in the daylight.
Tearing her gaze from the leaf, she looked up at the sky. It was clear, not a cloud in sight. The moon shined, stars sparkled, and the air was clear and crisp. A sign she was calm... Having the ability to manipulate the weather had its costs; the main one being the fact that it changed with her mood.
However, she was relaxed - so there was no risk of a sudden thunderstorm.
Briefly, she heard footsteps in the distance, but chose to ignore it. Drawing her attention back to the leaf, she traced her thumb over the intricate details and lines of it. She must of looked weird - standing outside a closed coffee shop mesmerized by a leaf... But the last time she went outside was winter; and it was so nice to see leaves not withered and dead.
Ever since Scott slipped into the 'Ant-Man' suit, life had been difficult. He never thought having a secret to keep would be so hard. His focus, however, has been on Cassie completely. She was his ray of sunshine, and he would do anything to keep her safe from harm.
Cassie was invited to a birthday party, and he was so pleased that she was socializing and making friends at school. On the invite she was given, it said for the parents to stick around for a social chit-chat, which Scott planned on doing.
"Are you gonna' stay?" Cassandra asked with pouted lips at the doorway of the birthday kid's house, and Scott just crouched down and messed up her hair with his hand.
"Of course, princess." Holding her hand, he stood back up and knocked on the door, Cassie eagerly bouncing on her heels.
