Somebody's Cranky
Claudia was tired, and snarky, and (although she would never admit it) scared. The world had proved to her countless times that is she go attached to anything, anything, it would be taken away from her in the blink of an eye. And she had a really good thing going on. A group of people, who loved her, treated her like a part of the family, a magnificently wonderful job, and a place to sleep at night. Solid ground. But if history repeated itself, like is so often did, she would be falling soon.
And that's why she is always so sarcastic and witty. To hide her fear. Artie had noticed something though. Whenever the team was out on a mission, especially a dangerous one, she became really sarcastic. Usually he just ignored it, but after a long night of paperwork, he couldn't take it. "Okay! Enough!" he snapped at the young girl. "No more sarcastic comments. No more witty comebacks. No commenting on my diet, my age or my eyebrows! Enough!" Artie let out a breath, while Claudia blinked a couple of times. She then cracked a somewhat evil grin.
