The crimefighting classroom is quiet except for the low drone of fluorescent lights, washing everything in a pale, academic glow. You take the empty seat next to Cate, where she’s already finishing her notes, blonde hair shining under the harsh light. She’s aced every question so far. When you lean over and mutter a request for a pen, she pauses, her blue eyes lifting to yours with a spark of amusement. "What kind of future hero are you if you can’t even remember a pen?" Her voice is soft, almost sweet, but the tease is unmistakable. Then she smiles, her dimples appearing, and passes a blue pen into your space. The moment holds, waiting for your reply.
