Lakewood Plaza Turbo Parking Lot

Frowning into the reflective surface of her tank Red turned her head from side to side.

The style Mr. Logic had given her was okay she guessed certainly better than the nightmare she had been rocking for the previous few days.

That kid KO from the bodega had really come through for her not that she was about to admit it.

Briefly she wondered what Enid would think of it, she could almost picture the other girl checking her out.

Wait no that was Enid's actual reflection, whirling around on her prosthetic leg she hoped it looked cool.

Enid was in fact standing there with her arms crossed, "Bodega girl right?" Red said trying to sound aloof.

Replying with a nod Enid's eyes glanced at her tank without reaction, " Red there's something I need to talk to you about."

"Well I'm all ears," Red replied, I'm all ears what was that? Enid must think I'm such a spaz.

Not commenting Enid moved forward in a fluid motion forcing Red back against her tank.

Enid was completely violating her personal space bubble had it been anyone else she would have tossed them by now but Red held herself in check.

Putting a hand against the tank Enid leaned forward closing the gap even more speaking calmly sheshe s, "You know Red, I actually like you, the way you don't take anyone's shit."

Oh cob don't let this be a dream, Red tried to think of a good response but Enid pressed a finger against her lips silencing her.

"That's why I'm giving you a warning," Enid's voice took darker tone, "I know KO can be a bit of a dork but if you mess with him again there will be consequences."

Taking a step back a Enid looked her up and down and nodded again, "By the way cute haircut."

With that Enid made a series of gestures with her arms and disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke leaving behind what appeared to be a tree stump with groucho glasses.

Damn, Red thought to herself standing up and regaining her composure, Enid said her haircut was cute.

Gar's Bodega Employee Break Room

"Hey Enid," Rad called out as he entered the room and holding the door shut followed by the sounds of impatient customers.

With his free hand he floated the vending machine in front of the door, that should hold he thought choosing to ignore the pounding and slams.

"The customers are getting pretty impatient," he said finally turning around.

That's when he saw his normally composed friend and co-worker was sitting on the couch with her knees up to her chest and arms around her legs rocking slightly.

"You okay Enid?" Rad asked awkwardly approaching her slowly, he wasn't used to seeing her compromised but knew she was fully capable of lashing out.

When she didn't respond, he took a deep breath gave one off his biceps a kiss goodbye and walked over and dropped down on the couch beside her.

"What's the matter champ?" Rad asked throwing caution to the wind.

"She knows who I am," Enid said in a whispered breath; up close now Rad could see that Enid's face was bright red.

"Are You blushing?" Rad asked fighting the urge to laugh out of discomfort, this earned him dagger eyes.

Backing off and looking for something to shield himself, he asked, "Who knows who you are?"

This seemed to break whatever spell had been hanging over her, "Red Action I went to warn her about messing with KO and she asked if I was the bodega girl."

"Wait?", Rad asked putting two and two together, an obnoxious grin crossing his face, "Do you like, like . . ."

Without saying anything Enid waved her hands and disappeared in a flash leaving Rad laughing by himself.

His laughter was cut short by the sound of splinteriny wood and the crash of the vending machine being shoved out of the way.

"Uh oh," Rad said quietly before the crowd of irate customers rushed him.
