New Landlord


Rooftop of Epic.

Hiro has spent a lot of time in his penthouse lately, mostly taking notes and planning for the myriad of dangerous tasks that lie just ahead. But the taks he's planning for right now is more to do with getting Sophie somewhere to live. There have been a lot of offers for the apartments in the building and he has given a number of them away but there are still a few.

Sophie taps on, well, the door that leads out to the roof. Then her head peeks out, "Hello?"

"Sophie!" Hiro says, rushing towards the door and opening it up properly so she can come inside, "Hello!"

Sophie breaks into a smile as she walks further in. "Its good to see you, Hiro. It has been a while, hasn't it?" she looks around, "You have quite a view from up here." she's, as always lately, extremely fully clothed.

Hiro nods his head, looking out the window for a moment before he moves to make the place more comfortable for his visitor, "I've put together some paperwork for you … the rent is very small. Easy to pay. Do you mind working part time at the cafe downstairs?"

Sophie shakes her head, smiling. "No, not at all." then she pauses, "As long as you don't mind.." she raises her hands, in the gloves.

"That would be good," Hiro says with a nod, "All you need to do is fill out the paperwork … " He picks up a folder full of papers, sliding it over across the counter towards Sophie.

Sophie takes the papers, and pulls a pen out of her pocket. She only takes a cursory look at the papers, before finding the last page, and signing where it seems to be indicated. She beams, "Oh, it will be so nice living here, and out of the dorms."

Hiro watches as she signs. The papers are all very standard.

"It should not take long to get things settled so you can move in."

Sophie nods as she looks up at you, being rather petite, "What room will I be living in?"

"Come on, I'll show you," Hiro says, moving towards the door and the elevator beyond, "I have a good room in mind."

Sophie nods, trustingly, as she walks behind you.

Hiro leads the way to an apartment a few floors down. Spacious for one person but probably not 'family-sized', it nevertheless has an exceptionally good view of the New York skyline and several different rooms.

Sophie ohhs as she looks around. She smiles, "Its beautiful. So big.. I'll have to shop to fill it up." she is practically jumping up and down, eagerly, at the idea of living here.

Hiro nods his head, beaming, "I am glad you like it."

Sophie nods, "I just can't imagine how I'll fill them up." thoughtfully. "I'm going to have to start going through the secondhand stores."

"Well, you don't have to fill it up entirely," Hiro says quietly, "You can save space for later when you have an idea for what to do with it."

Sophie nods at that, "I guess all I really need to start is a bed, maybe some chairs." she grins, spinning around in the empty space, giggling. Yes, she's a little giddy.
Hiro nods his head, watching her spin about for a moment, "You should be set to move in in about a week."

Sophie nods as she stops, blushing a little. "Sorry, I'm being a little silly. Just that.. its my first place. And I can.. you know, wear short sleeves in here."

"We can work on that once you're staying here," Hiro begins, nodding his head, "Trying to control your power."

Sophie nods firmly, "I really need to do that. You think I can get it to where its automatic, to control it? I mean, that's the problem. I can't concentrate all the time on not doing something."

"I hope so," Hiro answers. He can't promise, of course, but he can certainly try.

Sophie says, softly, "I can't imagine being like this forever. I couldn't live a normal life.." then she shakes it off. "You'll figure it out, we will.. we have to."
