Alex was wondering which of the few eateries available on the station she could crash at and lay low when she heard her name spoken in an unfamiliar voice. She spun on her heels, one hand automatically going for the wrench that hung along her right thigh. It wasn't a menacing greeting, it was a cocky one. "Son of a spaceworm," slipped out before she could help herself. It made her following statement lose steam. "'Fraid you've got the wrong girl. Alex is wearing this tiny little blue number...argh. You can't be him."
Of course he wasn't buying it. She'd responded when called, like a fraggin' Terran puppy. Where had he even come from? She hadn't seen anyone but the usual workforce; certainly no one in the dark clothes that gave him an aura of danger mixed with debonair. Why did they have to send someone attractive? He'd only bring attention to what she was trying to do, eyes following them every damn where. And finally, how had he found her so fast?
One eyebrow disappeared under red bangs as her would-be partner extended a hand. She crossed her arms over her boobs instead and laid on a thick frown. He seemed like he was trying to play nice, but 'fair'? "I told them I didn't need a babysitter. Because yes, I am clever. This job is simple. No way do they need two resources tied up on recon." Her eyes widened as she digested more of what he'd approached her with. "Wait. You're not here to pull intel...your assignment is me?"
Did the Agency not believe she couldn't do her job unsupervised and without assistance, or did they believe she herself was a problem? "I'm not a flight risk," Alex said, then chewed on her lower lip. "I get the job done. I've never, ever bailed, Charles."

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
