The first day there, and Josh was already exhausted. He'd used his ability to control water to start to move back some of the flood areas, but he'd never attempted so much fine, sustained control over such large amounts of water before. It had left him completely drain and by evening, he was collapsed on his cot, scrolling through the messages on his comm and listening to his music.

He kept hoping that he might get some sort of message from Charlie, but at this point he was willing to assume she was never going to talk to him again, which really sucked. If he had the energy at the moment, he would have probably gotten more depressed about that thought, but he was just too tired and already depressed from the several days of no word from her he'd gone through already.

Maybe talking to some people on this trip would prove a nice distraction.

Charlie had spent most of the day either handing out supplies or bouncing back to the states to bring in more supplies. Honestly, she was exhausted. She had every intention of going home to collapse in her own bed, but first...well...she needed to do something. She'd still been avoiding Josh, but with everything they had to do that hadn't been hard.

But honestly...she kind of missed him. And now she was convinced he was going to hate her. She had a big wad of poorly written, vaguely nonsensical letters in her hand as she entered the tent, not saying anything as she walked over and dropping down onto the edge of the cot next to his.

"...Uh. Hi, Josh." for a moment it seemed like she might hand him the wad of papers, but she just held them in her lap.

[reluctantlegend]

Josh jerked up in surprise when he saw who sat down across from him. He knew that Charlie was here, but he'd only seen her just as she was either coming or going from some trip or another back to the City. Every time he even looked at her for very long she seemed to bounce off.

For what seemed like forever he'd been waiting to talk to her to try and explain what it was she saw and to apologize to her. Now that she was here though, he was having difficulty finding the words to say.

"Hey," he managed to say.

[Helping out] Anything that involves helping out the locals goes here!

Charlie was sort of cheating when it came to this field trip. Considering she could bounce back to the city wherever she wanted, she hadn't really brought anything with her except her clothes. She fully intended to go home and sleep in her own bed when each day was through, and be back the next morning. Bouncing had its perks

A bridge had washed out nearby, and the attempts to rebuild it have been slow going without construction equipment being able to be brought in.

This is where a super-strong man of steel is useful, lifting girders and helping hold them into place while engineers worked to secure them once again.

Those who work around him have to wear protective sunglasses, though, since the desert sun shines so brightly off of his skin that it's a painful distraction.

[foreverbouncing]

At some point when Piotr is in-between holding girders in place, Charlie would bounce over (literally) and pop up next to him, holding out a little brown bag.

"Hey, shiny man, do you want some lunch? I think it's a pb&j I didn't really look." She'd wave the bag at him, offering a grin. And yes, she found sunglasses to put on.
