Her eyes were focused hard on the cellphone in her hand, thumb going a mile a minute as she worked at inputting data, replying to texts, anything to wrap up her day and get that last thing in. She was becoming more like Tony every day, it seemed.

Striding toward her quickly, he actually laughed as he wrapped his arms around her in a bear hug.
"Raven! It's so good to see you again."
He had a pulse. He had a real heartbeat. He had a real, human, living body. And he had wanted it for so long, that this time he wasn't going to take being alive for granted. ...Mostly. It remained to be seen what would happen tomorrow.

He bowed her toward the car, feeling like he was about to spontaneously combust with happiness. Although it'd be best if he didn't. He remembered the last time he'd been alive.
