The elevator doors slid open and she was greeted by the sight of clothes, cases, and equipment scattered about the main floor. With wide eyes she stepped into the space. It was probably the messiest she’d ever seen it, but she assumed everything was going to find its place sooner or later. Her place, at the moment, was in Nick’s arms. Ava lit up at the sight of him, rushing toward him to feel his warm embrace. She relaxed against him as she wrapped her arms around him, lifting her chin to receive the kiss he placed against her lips. When he stepped back, and rested her hands against her shoulders, she could see that he was proud. "It took me a little over two days.” A day and a half to be precise. It took her that a while to learn the patrol schedule and find weakness in their routines. She expected there to be a jumpjet that would appear then and there when she took out the instructors. It simply meant that she wouldn't be tracked as she made her way outside the perimeter of the field. If it weren't so cold, she probably would have made better time. “Quite the friend you have there, by the way.” She said, stepping away to go to the fridge. They probably didn’t have enough time for her to nap or kick her feet up, but she was sure as hell going to eat.<br/><br/>“You know he made me eat the same slop for two weeks?” She mentioned, pulling out a tupperware of whatever leftovers Nick had cooked up. With a quick sniff to determine that it wasn’t souring, she shoved it into the microwave. Pushing herself onto her toes, she pulled down her stash of candy. “He called me all sorts of demeaning names and refused to shake my hand. And he<i>snores</i>.” She said, shoving a few pieces of chocolate in her mouth. “I don’t think I’ve slept or eaten well in two weeks.” She sighed, knowing that her streak of poor sleep was likely to continue given where they were headed. “I think he liked me, though. He won’t admit it, but I softened him up.” She smiled since that was far from the case. “Anyways, what do you need help with and when do we head out?”
