Eve

It's been over a month since the Angstrom Levy incident. Debbie is now raising an alien son she never asked for, while trying to bury herself in work to avoid thinking about Nolan. Mark struggles with deciding what he wants to do with his life. Part of him likes the idea of giving College another try, but he knows his leave on being a superhero is only temporary; even if he wishes otherwise. As Mark sits at home, wondering what his next step is, he receives a text message from Eve.

Eve (Text): “Hey! How’s it going?”

Mark smiles while reading the simple check up text; quickly responding by asking what she's up too.

The truth is, with William focused on exams, the challenge of being an older brother wearing him down, and his mother off at work, she's all he has left to cling onto some sense of normality.

Eve (Text): “Nothing right now. Are you looking after Oliver?”

Another text comes in, to which he replies by stating that the nanny took his little brother to her place for the day.

With a small semblance of a smile, Mark contemplates on whether or not Eve will ask to be invited over. A part of him wants to do it himself, but he's worried she'll blow him off in favor of other responsibilities. That's when another text get's delivered.

Eve (Text): “Oh! Well in that case, mind if I stop by?”

Much to Mark's surprise, Eve makes the first move. Mark quickly replies with a simple yes, to which Eve answers by saying she'll be there momentarily.

Once Eve arrives, Mark greets her at the door with a noticeable look of stress in his eyes, despite his happy smile.

Eve: "Hey..."

She calls out; her voice soft and soothing; a juxtaposition to her following sentence.

Eve: "You look like crap."

Eve giggles to herself; hoping to cheer Mark up a little. Within an instant, Mark's mood begins to lift. It's clear he called the right person. As soon as Eve enters, Mark closes the door. The two embrace tightly, both needing each other’s support.

Eve: "I'm so sorry that I haven't come by sooner... I should’ve told you sooner, but... I went back to college..."

She begins by stating; seeming excited by the decision she's made.

Eve: "Yeah, uh, architecture... I figured it would be nice to apply to my powers... to try and figure out how they work and stuff...”

Mark tells Eve not to apologize; instead insisting she tell him everything she's learnt so far, to which Eve eagerly complies.

The two spend hours on the couch, talking, laughing, and getting to catch up on all the recent chaos that's been going on with their lives, until eventually, Debbie arrives home from work. It doesn't take long for her to notice how smitten they both are. With greetings out of the way, Debbie insists Eve stay for dinner, and that she'll get started on cooking right away.

Mark takes this as an opportunity for he and Eve to sneak up to his bedroom.

On their way up the stairs however, Debbie overhears Eve giggling; suspecting that they're likely going up for some privacy. With a smirk, Debbie decides to let the two love birds have their fun before she needs to go and pick up Oliver from the nanny's house.

Once in Mark's room, the pair shut the door and sit on the mattress together. Neither can't seem to stop smiling; both infatuated and equally as nervous as the other.

Eve: "Sooo... what now?"

Eve asks; gently biting her lip as she gazes into Mark's eyes.

She looks as though she could beg for him; his touch; his lips; his intimacy, but she remains quiet; instead choosing to wait for him to make the first move.
