Anya Corazon was going to take a little brake from butt kicking today. She had the day off from her official job at the taco shop and was going to just relax all day… unless someone really needed her skills. But for now she was going to chill. Anya sat on the edge of the big fountain in Central Park, kicking her legs back and forth as she snacked on a platter of loaded nachos from her work place. She watched all the different people go about their business in the park, enjoying life just like her. Those big goggles dangled around her neck, her blue shirt sported a large black spider on the front. A young man around her age was walking by and gave her a look and a wink. She simply smiled and shook her head at him. Anya could appreciate the fellows admiring her good looks even if she was the tomboy type.

Kelly decided to take a walk and ended up at Central Park for the first time ever. She'd been in New York for awhile now but her areas of visitation had been limited. The girl looked like a freaking tourist she had her camera and everything. Her eyes landed on the girl with the goggles and the plate of nachos. Her stomach protested at Kelly not having nachos herself. "Um, excuse me, where did you get those?" She pointed to the nachos, God they looked good. The tiny blond didn't even pay attention to the looks either girl was getting, chalking it up to being par for the course.

"Um, excuse me, where did you get those?"
Upon hearing the voice, Anya turned her attention to the a young blond girl standing in front of her. She thought the girl was probably a tourist seeing as how she was wearing a camera and asking about the nachos. Everyone in New York knew about El Rey Tacos' famous loaded nachos. Guess tonight someone actually was going to need her help with something. "I got these from El Rey Tacos. Place down on 54th street and Cambell. You new here or something?"

Kelly did a stereotypical, she looked up and mouthed the name of the place and its address. She looked back down at the girl when she asked if she was new. "Sort of. I'm from Trenton and just moved into New York. So my knowledge of the area is limited. Where's Campbell?" God those looked good. She'd dressed in jeans, t-shirt and a hoodie with sneakers today. Blond hair pulled back in a ponytail. "Oh, I'm Kelly." She held out her hand for the girl to shake.

Anya mentally sighed when she asked where the street was. She completely sucked when it came to giving directions so um yea. "I suck at directions, Kelly. If I tried pointing you in the right direction, I'd probably send you into Hell's Kitchen or something. One place you really don't want to be at night." She took a bite out of her nachos and chewed them for awhile. "Sorry I can't be much help for ya on that. Anything else you wanna know?"

It didn't even occur to her to ask the girl to just take her there. Kelly sighed and nodded. "Well thanks. I'll see if I can find it. What's your name?" It didn't escape her notice that the girl didn't shake her hand so she slid her hands in her pocket. "Well it was nice meeting. I don't think I need anything else." Kelly turned around and blue eyes scanned the area looking for some sort of food vendor.

"The name's Anya. And maybe you could just ask around. New York has a lot of people you know." She set the food in her lap to stretch out for a moment. When the blond turned around, Anya let out a sigh. She couldn't just let this girl wonder around aimlessly in such a big city. Probably would ask the wrong guy for directions and end up in a bad situation. "Wait... I can take you there if you want me to."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Anya. Yeah, someone might know. Are they as good as they look? I mean sometimes the stuff looks good but tastes terrible." Kelly nodded her blond head since it's happened to her before. "But then the opposite could be said as well. I've seen some really nasty looking stuff that tasted great, and OMG I'm babbling." The girl bit her tongue and tugged a lock of hair. It wasn't often that she went too far off into a babble, but she's still excited about being in New York. Even if she is a little paranoid right now about the Sentinels. Kelly turned and grinned. "Would you mind? I'll even buy you another plate if you are still hungry." She'd do it too, Kelly was odd that way, never believing something nice should go unrewarded.

”You kidding me? These things are probably the best thing we have on the menu at the joint. I say we since I work there." She rambled on for a bit which truthfully kind of put Anya off. Hopefully this girl wasn't your typical blonde airhead cheerleader type. "Don't worry about it, Kelly. We all babble every now and then, I do it sometimes when I'm excited about something." Anya finished off the rest of her nachos and perked at her offering to pay. "The spot is sorta far from here so..... I hope you're not afraid of heights."

"You work there? Cool. If they are that good then I definitely want to go." Kelly couldn't stop the grin as the girl talked. She seemed friendly and that was awesome in Kelly's book. "I usually don't babble that much. But sometimes I have to talk in circles to figure out my point. Does that make sense?" It probably didn't and Anya's going to eye roll and walk away. That's what usually happens when she says something like that. "I don't mind heights. Why?"

"Yea that makes complete sense really. Somtimes you gotta back track to get to the point and whatnot." Anya walked over to a trash can and tossed the empty nacho container into it and waltzed over to Kelly. "You not minding heights is a good thing since that's pretty much how we're going to get to El Rey. Too far for a comfortable walk and my dad is coming to pick me up for another hour or so. That leaves it up to me." With that, Anya put on her goggles and lifted Kelly onto her back with ease. "Hold on tight." Anya began running forward reaching up to 20 miles. Within seconds she leaped about 10 feet into the air clearing a nearby tree.

The tiny blond blinked at the other girl. No one had ever agreed with her logic before and it made the girl smile. "Exactly. Unfortunately, I tend to speak before I form the full thought. So, yeah I need to back track to make it all come together. You actually understood that?" Kelly had never been so relieved to have someone understand her. Blue eyes blinked as she got put on the girls back and there was a squeak when the girl jumped. As soon as they touched Kelly could feel the power running through the girl, she just didn't know what it was. "This is sooo cool. My power is like pathetic compared to this."

"This is sooo cool. My power is like pathetic compared to this."
"Power? Cool so you're a mutant aswell! I hardly ever meet any other mutants. There's been a few here and there." Anya pushed off for a another jump and landed a block away. She jumped 20 more feet then another 20 then another and before long, the two of them had reached their destination. She let the girl off her back and stood in front of the store. "Well here we are. Enjoy the ride?"

"Yeah I am, but we aren't supposed to talk about it, but since you are another one. I figured why not. Yeah, they tend to try to keep it on the down low." Kelly was a bit jealous comparatively speaking her power was lame. At least that's what she believed since there was no flash or anything to it. She was amazed at how quick they got to their destination. Kelly got off the girl's back and grinned at her. "That was awesome! I will so buy you whatever you want to eat." She linked her arm with Anya's and headed into the restaurant grinning from ear to ear. "You freaking rock, girl."

"Pfft, I gladly flaunt my powers... sorta. Well at least when I'm out putting the hurting on criminals." She liked to keep her powers under wraps since there was no need to draw unwanted attention and have people chasing her down the block. She'd seen stuff like that happen before ever since that wackjob mutant took down that ship. Why did he have to do that? There was no point, and now mutants like herself were left to deal with the hostility and backlash. Anya smiled and shook her head as they entered the store arm in arm. She nodded to the guy behind the register.
"Hey what are you doing here Anya? Didn't you have today off?" asked the young man. "And who's the cutie you got there?"
"Cool your heels there Johnny. This is Kelly, a friend of mine." Anya stepped up to the counter and gave the menu a quick lookover, as if she needed to. She could recite everything up there with her back turned.
