Well, now we can get to the really depressing drabble. Boo hoo hoo!

"Hi! I guess I'm your personal assistant!"

Claire already had a headache, and her voice wasn't helping her much. Masrani for some misguided reason hired a personal assistant for Claire to work with. She didn't need one! Shed been just perfect without the aid of one for all those months so she would be fine now. And just because he made sure she was British, it doesn't make things better. The brunette lady still smiled brightly at her boss, not noticing the murderous glare on her face. "I'm like the robin to you! Or the bucky to captain america...although you don't look like the person who reads comics so forget I said that."

Claire rubbed her forehead. "Listen,uh..?"

"Zara!"

"Yes. That." The redhead inhaled sharply. "Masrani assigned you to me. I didn't. That's a clear sign that I don't need you...and that as your boss, im warning you to stay out of my way."

"...okay boss!"

"Now, if you'll excuse me...I'm going to take a nap and get rid of this stupid headache." Claire murmured, making hr way towards her car. Zara slightly followed her.

"Uh, I have some aspirin?"

"They never work fast enough."

"Oh...riiiight. I knew that..." Zara remembered something else. "What about your meeting at 9:00 AM?"

"What about it?"

"Well, what if you oversleep?"

"Oh please. Its only 12:53. I'll be juuuust fine."

"IM LATE?!"

Claire frantically rushed to grab her formal clothes and hurried faster to place them around her body. She zoomed to brush her hair, and then sprinted for a granola bar from the cabinet. The woman was partially ready, but that would have to do for now she supposed. Claire swung the door open and promptly ran into Zara.

"Ouch!" Claire rubbed her nose. "Zara?! What are you doing outside my door?!"

"Well you never answered your texts and in was just about to knock..."

"I'd ask you why,but I'm really late right now so-"

"Oh, I rescheduled the meeting."

Claire stopped completely and stared at Zara closely. Zara innocently grinned and placed her hands on her hips. "...you rescheduled?"

The Brunette nodded.

"But...they said this would be the only day I could meet with them!" Claire blinked. "There's no way you could have done that!"

"Unless I still set it for today. At 3:00."

Claire was left speechless by this statement, and a hand raised to her mouth as she thought silently. "...you did all that?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"...Uh, thanks." Claire decided on saying. She was still skeptical over needing an assistant, but...perhaps she'd need a friend like her.

She wouldn't tell Masrani that, of course.

"And then..." Gray continued in a sobbing whimper. "I-It ate her..."

Claire's hand covered her mouth in horror at the revelation, but a sound of sadness still escaped from it. Zach looked almost as sad as Gray about the news, and Owen twitched in place even if he didn't know this Zara had been slightly cross with Zara for loosing her nephews but...she never expected the poor woman to suffer like this. Especially not a woman who had helped her so well so far and had been such a great friend. Was this her punishment for the slight mistake? Being mauled and then eaten in a savage fit of irony?

Claire closed her eyes too late to stop her warm tears.
