It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Confrontation [locked to seemoreofhive]

Terra never really knew what other stores went through in their Christmas rushes, but at least at Cheshire Lane, it could get pretty crazy. This was one of the slower days, but it was enough to keep her busy. She probably wouldn't even notice if someone she knew showed up, and even then probably wouldn't have time to talk to them

As Terra was leaving the store, See-More was walking up to it, or near its area. He was wearing a thicker hoodie, probably a size too big, and both hands in his jean pockets. He took a nervous glance around, and walked in.

He shouldn't even be considering doing this. He left the HIVE Five to become a better person.

But he was cheated out of his hours at his new job. There were better, faster employees. He was probably getting cheated on hours before they actually handed him a pink slip. How would our establishment look when we have an employee with a record?He wasn't staying at neither Jinx's place nor at the apartment Ghost offered. Jinx was a good friend, but he didn't want to burden her. Ghost was a friend, but also his ex-teammate and that was too awkward. He was struggling to keep a place of his own -- he refused to go home

Terra's ears perked up when she heard some sort of commotion coming from inside. "What the hell, did Emma announce a new sale just to be a bitch?" she muttered, slowly pushing herself up and walking to the storefront. No sooner had she opened the door to walk inside than she gasped.

"See-More, what the hell are you doing?" she yelled at him. Given the froofy clothes she had to wear as her uniform, she was not looking forward to any kind of fighting.

... oh shi. He should have checked his sources before just walking into this store. Then again, he wasn't feeling ecstatic about running into Terra. Their last moment together was...interesting.

See-More turned to face her. In case Terra couldn't tell, he was not looking happy behind that helmet. "What's it look like? I have a bag, and there's a register full of money. I'm putting it to good use," he answered simply, bitterly.

She really should have seen that one coming. And yes, their last moment together was interesting, but maybe she was ready to talk. It scared her a little, and it was harder than just beating the snot out of him, but if she used her powers here then she'd probably be out of a job.

"I'm getting off work in a few hours," she said firmly. "You're going to put the bag down and get the hell out of my store, and we're going to go somewhere and talk when I'm done here. Or," and despite her fancy-yet-gaudy clothes, she cracked her knuckles in what she though was a threatening gesture, "I'm going to kick your ass and you're going to spend a long time in jail for losing me my job and terrorizing all these Christmas shoppers."
