Penny walked next to him. The unfamiliar, warzone-like surroundings made her steps cautious and almost hesitant, but the helping hand by her side made her keep going. She wish she could say stranger things had happened, but this pretty much topped all the strange things that EVER happened. Happenings involving time and space were discussed among the super villains in their world, but nothing ever actually happened. Her hands, which were already pale to begin with, were sweaty and shaking, and the way her eyes were pacing back and forth matched.

Billy's question snapped the overwhelming thoughts out of her mind for a moment and provided some distracting relief. Billy... she did remember him from the laundromat. They hardly ever spoke, but sometimes she caught him looking at her like he wanted to. Even if she hardly knew him, he was the only familiar person in this world right now.

Back to his question.

"I was handing out fliers for..." She looked down at the clipboard. In this world, the homeless shelter was the least of her worries. "...Caring Hands Homeless Shelter. Have you heard of it? It doesn't matter much here, but..." It was something to talk about.

"Oh yeah, I remember that. That was the first time I talked to you."

It was probably the highlight of that day, even after he got the wonderflonium. Getting the guts, even if it was Penny who had came to him, to talk to Penny was a huge step. Hopefully, now that he was more comfortable with actually talking to her, he could get somewhere with her before Hammer got to Penny.

She looked up from her clipboard and looked at him, suprised. "It was?"
