Vanguard HQ.
Hospital ward.
Neph took a deep breath and stepped I to the room, laying on the hospital bed, leg in a cast after Calvin Scott's attack on the Praetorian refugee camp, was Katie Douglas, head of the freed Seerers of Praetoria... And source of some very confusing feelings she had talked to her family over, moving to sit in the chair next to the bed, Neph gave an awkward smile. "Hey Katie.... Doing okay?"
The Seer opened her eyes and smiled. "Hey, thought I scared you off with that kiss, had someone explain the whole LGBTQ+ thing you have going on in Primal earth.... So snogging an ace person, not my smartest hour."
Neph shifted in her seat. "No, not smart.... But that is sort of why I'm here, see I am asexual, not aromantic.... If that makes sense."
Katie screws up her face as she goes over it. "That means you don't like sex.... But like romance?"
Neph nodded, chewing her lip.
Katie sat herself up and grinned. "So... You are saying you want romance... With me?"
She nods again.
The seer reached over and took Neph's hand. "I think I like to see how that works."
Neph let out her breath, then pulled out a small chibi plushy of herself. "Also got you this.... Apparently they make them if you get popular enough.... Gods knows how they got one of me seeing all my hero work has been Preat side, but thought you might like it."
Katie squeezed the plush, a little voice coming out. "I wanna fight." The seer bursting into laughter. "I love it, now I can kiss you." She quickly places a kiss on the head of the plushy.
Neph coughed. "Not totally out of the cards." She muttered.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
