Face it, Greenie. There's only room for one strongest woman...and it ain't you! ----------------------------------------- Titania sat in her kitchen sipping her coffee and watching the news, Mondays were never her favorites to start with anyway though this one was particularly more stressful than others. She had court today in order to keep Michaela as well as stop them from deporting her back to Mongolia, though on the brighter side, she thought to herself this would be the first time she wasn't at court for herself. Mary was of course uneasy as she doesn't have the pull in California CourtRooms that she does in Idaho, which was where her good friend Jen would come in to represent her in front of a more than likely unfavorable court. Of course, loathing in self-doubt wasn't going to help her in this matter at all, after finishing her cup she got up and went upstairs to Michaela's room to find her half-dress and face deep into her phone. “ Sweetie, we have to meet Jen downtown in 45 mins and you're not even dressed" Mary would say startling her daughter who leaped up giggling, “ Hurry if you Make it to the car in 5 minutes we can still get some Mcdonalds” she would go on to say before walking off. Heading back downstairs she would pick up her phone sending Shulkie a text, “ Hey just wanted to make sure I'm going to the Gordon D. Schaber Courthouse since it looks like 3 other courts next to it?” Mary would type before pressing send. She would proceed to grab her Keys to her truck heading out the front door to start it up, a few seconds behind her she could hear the footsteps of her daughter rushing to Catch up. With the pair buckled up they made their way to the courthouse, it was a 20-minute drive from their Airbnb 30 if you count in ridiculous drivers and traffic.

"Tall, lean and Gamma Green- that's me!"

She had a little time after returning Mary's text. “Yea, that's the one there's parking on the left lot, near the Italian eatery. If you park there, then after Court you can grab lunch and they’ll validate your parking- trust me you don't wanna pay for that yourself if you can avoid it you know? See you there, relax- breathe we got this- Jen.”
Even though they’d gone over the six crucials for custody hearings it was never easy, it could go sideways on any number of issues; that being said they’d covered all the bases including working through the Los Angeles custody rules. Even if not needed she schooled Mary on the better Parent aspect, and to put a good foot forward to show employment and stability which would be crucial in a single parent case.
It seemed ideal and the two utterly inseparable; it was a good for Michaela to help her get the opportunities and good for Mary to have love and stability herself. Jen knew how hard it could be to feel free floating, untethered in this world and how in their lifestyle things could go south without that loving anchor. This just felt right, complete for both of them- but that still did not alleviate the anxiousness for the proceeding, in a very real way it affected so many lives and that for a good lawyer always made for a little bit of anxiousness.
One last element; it might be show pony courtroom theatrics but that too was a part of the whole presentation. With a deep breath the Sensational She-Hulk was replaced by the diminutive but none the less sensation Jennifer Walters. Part of this would be Mary’s past and how better to show trust than for her arch nemesis to stand there; speak on her behalf with all pretense and defenses down.
In a word, it would display Trust- and that if they were lucky would play well to the bench and grease the skids a bit to get this moving in the right direction. Armed with that and a few solid elements of her time in Idaho she moved to meet them both in the courtroom- after switching to the backup pumps that were Jennifer sized.

Face it, Greenie. There's only room for one strongest woman...and it ain't you! ----------------------------------------- [br Sitting in the Hallway of the courthouse biting her nails Mary looked over at Michaela smiling, the little girl smiled back before speaking. “ Are you okay mommy? You seem nervous like that time when I had my science project at school, remember you said to always take a deep breath, relax, and then push forward.” She would say giving her mom a hug before seeing Jen walking up, “ Aunty Jen!” She would say running up, giving her the biggest hug. There was a sense of bond she felt with Jen since Idaho, which had ultimately helped Mary out a lot in raising her. Mary would get up smiling before giving Jen a hug, “ Your looking good girl… So how do you think it’s looking in there?” Jen would ask before grabbing her stuff and heading to courtroom 5, the tall Burnett was a rather intimidating appearance no matter what. Which she tried to fix by wearing a nice Taylor female suit, of course coordinated to her suit colors of Purple and black. Titania walked into the courtroom going to the front taking a seat, she was a little curious though of an individual in the back row with curly black hair and Shades with a suit on. Waiting for Jen to take a seat she would whisper in her ear, “ Something seems off about the guy in the black suit, in the back row to your left. Maybe I’m just over thinking but I also saw him outside when I came earlier, perhaps I’m too cautious but I’ll just keep an eye out” she would say before turning forward as the Judge walked in.

Stopping at the entrance she took off the large sunglasses, there was always a bit of an adjustment when you go in normal sized, everything by proxy looked cartoonishly big. “Heya Kiddo!” She hugged, it was nice; a good family vibe that had been absent since she moved full time to the Big Apple. “You must be growing, like super fast for sure!” She offered then turned her gaze to may who dressed for the occasion. “Nice cuts that suit is very you- bonus points for purple of course.” She offered a high wattage radiantly confident smile. Given what was on the docket, she hoped it would offer a rock for Mary to moor to, so she too could radiate that same vibe.
They entered the storied courtroom, set up shop as she paused to greet and connect with a few of the personal before sitting next to Mary and Michaela waiting for the proceedings to begin. The whisper drew her to lean close, she nodded lightly, then rose to hand over some paperwork and spare a moment to the stenographer before retaking her seat and casually casing the guy Mary had pointed out.
Retaking her seat she poured a glass of water, and set it in front of Mary leaning to replay discreetly. “I see em, but play it cool, if they do something try to keep it under control- we’ll handle it together so it leaves a good impression with the bench and the gallery. Could just be someone with an ax to grind who wants to rattle you into overreacting.” She offered and tapped the glass, “Drink up- relax and we’ll be fine.”
