On the less super side of things... [Action]

[bemoreflexible]

Helen gave up the super hero life decades ago, back when it was the Alpha Pals who protected the country, and long before the Omegafriends had even been thought of. After all the heroes that were lost after Gamma Jack's "crusade", it became too clear to Helen that the work was just too risky. Today, she was just a normal woman, doing normal errands while her normal husband watched the kids at home. Right?

Helen just needed to buy a few dozen things for the week. In and out, with as few distractions as possible. It's a shame someone ((probably your character)) had to go and choke on a free sample. And no one around knows the Heimlich maneuver but Helen? Guess everyone is too busy learning to fight death rays and space invaders to bother taking a basic CPR course.

[B. In the Do or Dye Hair Salon waiting area ]
It's been a busy day, apparently, according to the TV in the waiting room. Super villains planting doomsday devices and inciting chaos. Police chiefs complaining about super heroes making it harder for honest cops to do their jobs. Helen would be content to keep her mouth shut about it, but the person next to her is apparently intent on talking about the subject at length.

[C. Anywhere in Venture City]
Seems Helen is all over town today. Perhaps she'll run into something or someone interesting.

Not being a homemaker, Sherri didn't have all day on a Monday to run errands. He had his full-time job, plus super-things, plus those random little extras that come with pretending to be a human - like mandatory psychological evaluations where he pretends not to be a space alien having space alien problems, and maybe... a tiny, accidental social life? And, somewhere in there, he has to squeeze in time for science. It doesn't leave a lot of time for things like picking up a suit at the dry cleaner's. Which is what he is doing now, on his lunch break.

He understandably has a lot on his mind, as he briskly walks down the sidewalk with a vintage suit in tow. So it's perfectly understandable that he's not looking where he's going, and thus bumps directly into some lady.

"O-oh. Ah. I-I'm s-sorry, let me help you with that..."

Helen bounces a bit more on the impact than is normal and hopes the man doesn't notice. Hopefully the groceries he managed to knock all over the ground should prove a sufficient distraction.

"Thanks."
