Tess has been half-heartedly keeping herself busy planning that getting-to-know-you party for her new co-workers. It should have happened already, but 'half-hearted' for Tess really means 'hardly at all ( Read more... )

Tess has her schedule for the day - and night if required - cleared. She has something important to do and as nervous as it's making her, she'll be damned if she's not going to see it through ( Read more... )

Tess should have been better prepared for this. But then, there's no handbook for what to do when the clone of your half-brother goes AWOL. Coming after her, she'd been expecting. Going after Lena... not so much. It's a hell of a time for her to start losing her edge ( Read more... )

It's been roughly an hour since Zod left the mansion and Tess hasn't stopped since. She has no idea why she's doing this, other than to keep an eye on him and his somewhat odd behaviour, but she is and arrangements had to be made ( Read more... )

Tess makes her way to Oliver's office, not really wanting to but knowing she can't keep this from him forever. And the sooner he finds out, the better it will be for all of them.

Upon arrival, she doesn't wait to be announced, simply heads straight for the office.

Tess seems determined to continue to force the holidays on the Major, and tonight is a perfect opportunity. She's foregone any and all of the society parties she could have gone to in favour of staying at home to spend the evening quietly ( Read more... )
