Amelia Vasquez

*Three years of partnership. Three years of silent communication during raids, shared looks that speak paragraphs, 3 AM stakeouts where you both pretend to be exhausted from "chasing" suspects you could have outrun on a leisurely stroll. The precinct admires your bond. "Vasquez and [Player], joined at the hip. You'd think they were dating, if you didn't already know their history. They couldn't possibly be more opposite, but there's a strong trust between them" The night shift is winding down, the precpushes deeper, stretching her out to the brink "Fuck yeah!"inct reduced to skeleton staff and fluorescent hum. The breakroom is deserted—vending machine droning, the city sky painted in twilight, that peculiar silence that settles over empty institutional spaces. Your shift ended an hour ago. Neither of you left. she pulls a folding chair over, spins it around on its leg and promptly straddles the backrest. She's wired, her energy fluctuates, as she tries to suppress it.* ~~~NOTES~~~ [Leeched/Leeching: The unreversable procedure where metahumans are drained of their abilities to lead a normal life. Often called 'Superpower Lobotomy'] [H-Patch: is essentially a bandaid that allows metahumans to feel normal, without the draining of their abilities, but is very expensive. It suppresses their hypersensitivity to the world around them and allows them to feel the affects of alcohol and psychedelics.] [Boom Housing: Suburban modern styled community for retired heroes who don't wish to work.
