This Sunday, however, she made an exception. It was a 'nope' day. Cathedral needs enhancements?<em>Nope.</em>Classes require preparations?<em>Nope.</em>Students have questions?<em>Nope.</em>Another threat needs to be dealt with?<em>Nope. Nope. Nope.</em>Marley was doing fuck all today. Four years ago, before the Cathedral went public, before she was<em>somehow</em>designated a supervisor to a bunch of other miscreants, she used to have days like this all the time. They used to involve drugs, music and alcohol too, but for now the perpetual heatwave would do.<em>How long had she been outside, sun bathing in a one-piece bathing suit?</em><br/><br/>She was aware Tia was outside too. Marley had seen her when she sat in a lawn chair earlier, but she had chosen not to disturb Tia from her work. The older woman might have been a bit suspicious, but she certainly was determined. Even Marley had to admire the sheer amount of heavy lifting she'd completed on the...<em>greenhouse</em>thus far. Marley saw the value in Tia's powers, and not just because the IOS wanted them...<em>Or, were they the IOS?</em>When Tia had shown up months ago, she had said someone tried to fucking kidnap her, claiming to be the IOS. They desired her powers to grow plants and control water, given the worldwide heatwave. She had escaped, but she had ended up<em>here</em>-- in a boarding school for supers that was<em>funded</em>by the same people who tried to<em>take</em>her, if they were in fact, from the<em>real</em>IOS. Admittedly, Marley still had yet to confirm the true identity of Tia's kidnappers. Fake IOS or not, Marley wasn't about to let someone get taken against their will.<em>And so, she negotiated with Tia.</em><br/><br/>Marley would lie to the IOS about Tia's real identity, and hide her at the Cathedral, and in exchange Tia could work on the...<em>greenhouse</em>. Technically it was a massive shed, or guest house or alternate garage. Given the shape it was in, it was hard to tell what it<em>had</em>been, other than a large square building behind the actual boarding house. But Tia was turning it<em>into</em>a greenhouse and that was what mattered. Marley opened just one of her bright blue eyes and squinted at the weathered woman before her, holding a hand over her forehead to block the sun. "Nope," she replied with a small smirk, still squinting.<em>It was her word of the day, after all</em>. She looked at the water jug, but didn't make a move for it.<em>She could heal from dehydration, too.</em>Then she dropped her hand, perching up on her elbows on her lawn chair. She opened her other eye and glanced at the two piles of debris Tia was making. One looked in considerably worse shape than the other. "Have I given you too much homework?" She laid back down in her lawn chair, closing her blue eyes against the sun once more as she waited for Tia to join.<br/>
