""Where There Is Breath, There Is Hope""

"Oh I was Starstruck at first." Gwen said with a giggle. Gwen couldn't help but chuckle a little at Erika's comment about people not wanting to need superheroes. It wasn't really what Gwen was talking about, but it was probably about as close as Erika could probably get in terms of understanding.
"Hmmm, what would I do for a normal job? Probably work as a butcher or maybe an assembly line worker in a factory. just one of those lowkey blue-collar jobs that nobody wants but makes modern life possible. Lord only knows This Earth's New York really needs a good butcher shop. At one time I might have considered being a cop, but that's something I have long lost interest in.
Gwen couldn't help but think about her dad. When she was a child, her dad was her biggest inspiration, he even introduced her to the comics that made her the woman she was today. She still greatly missed him. Some scars never fade.

Erika smiled as Gwen admitted she'd been star struck meeting Tony Stark, then she listened to Gwen talk about what kind of job she would have. She then replied "Yeah, it is kind of amazing how jobs like that are so needed and yet certain people see the people who work at these jobs as lower than themselves. I've had friends work retail, mainly fast food, and some of the stories they tell make me want to put my superhero outfit on and hang out with them, just to see if the rude customers dare say something with me right there."
She checked her watch to make sure she had time before her folks came back and then smiled again. "I should probably be heading home soon, but this was nice! I'm glad you came to our universe!" Pausing for a second, she then asked "Would you mind if I called on you in the future? It would be nice to have a friend and you're like the first super powered person I've met so far in New York!" She then quickly finished her drink.

"Sure, but I mean I'm not exactly superpowered, more super gadgeted." She took a napkin, scribbled down her number and gave it to Erika, before finishing off her own drink and clearing her tab...as well as Erika's too.
"It's on me tonight. Hey if you ever want or need anything give me a call."
Gwen walked out of the bar feeling satisfied with how things turned out overall. Maybe she made a new friend and someone to hang out with if there was ever more trouble. Still, part of her could not help but worry about what would happen if the government got a hold of Her, Good lord she hated the SRA not just the registration requirements but the fact that heroes were essentially bound to government service...property. Still, it wasn't like she could do anything for now. So she got on her motorcycle and rode off. Hopefully, she and Erika will keep in touch.

Erika smiled as Gwen admitted she wasn't so much super powered as super gadgeted, but was pleased as she wrote down her number on a napkin before saying if she needed her for anything to let her know. Quickly grabbing another napkin, she wrote down her own number and passed it to Gwen, before replying "Of course! It's good to know more people in the business, so to speak."
Once Gwen left, Erika hopped onto the dance floor for one song before quickly walking the short distance to her house, where she washed her face, scrubbed off all the makeup, brushed her hair then hopped in bed. She stared at the ceiling, happy that she'd made her first superhero contact, and smiled as she let herself imagine the adventures to come, hopefully with Gwen at some point. Maybe the two of them could take down some big villain or massive threat together, that could be fun!
