You Would Make It

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana walked into the Kalispell Police Station, having already worked everything out and would be working here soon enough. There was still some paper work that needed to be completed and only one person in the top brass seemed to want to give the situation a difficult time. Not just everyone was willing to accept someone transferring into their department when that person was not even originally from America. It was some dying hard Nationalist, but at least they were not a mutant hater; not that Rox would have cared either way.

She could careless how anyone here felt about her since she was not here for them. Rox was here for one person only, and that one person was not even herself. It rarely was. Even with the years that passed, there were still a lot of things that had not changed with Roxana. The same could not be said about Vera Milan Marcello; scratch that, she was Vera Milan Solway now. That didn't really surprise Roxana but at the same time she could not claim to have understood it. Vera had helped her try to understand and get though feelings for other people.

It was still hard to tell if it had helped or not but none of that mattered. Rox was actually...happy for the other girl. "It has some time since we have last seen one another, Vera." Roxana spoke up after she moved closer towards the other girl. She had not meant to actually sneak up on the other girl, but it was kind of a habit to approach without being detected until it was too later. It was still possibly that Vera might have caught on her, but it had been years since they had last interacted with one another. Rox could not help but to feel a little bit of...apprehension on how Vera was going to react to seeing her here and now.

There was word of a new transfer and as usually Vera hardly gave it much attention. Sure, some of the other's got so wrapped up into caring that they couldn't even focus on their current tasks at hand. Usually transfers meant that someone from a different department in the US or even from a different country, would be either be better than you... or not so much. Again, not Vera's problem unless they were to be partnered off with each other.

Then of course, maybe it was a problem.

"It has some time since we have last seen one another, Vera."

Once upon a time, the voice had been familiar and it didn't click until Vera realized whoever it was, was talking to her. She'd turn around to address the person but once she did turn to face her, she stopped in her actions. She wasn't sure how to react. It was as if there were so many different ways she could go about this and each was fighting to be the chosen reaction. "Rox?"

Roxana Strix, once upon someone she loathed but grew to be one of Vera's closer friends... until the woman had to leave at such a complicated time. Then, Vera could admit she was upset that Roxana had to leave but now Vera couldn't even think about that. She was no longer "upset", she was actually pretty fucking relieved. The telekinetic quickly moved to Rox, wrapping her arms around her, giving her a tight hug. "Rox! It has been way too fucking long. Holy shit!"

She eventually stepped back, giving Roxana space. Her hands ran through her long black hair as she couldn't help but to study the girl from top to bottom. She looked... good. "Wow."

Roxana honestly didn’t know what she expected to be Vera’s reaction after not having seen Roxana for three long years. That was a lie; there were several ideas that came to Roxana’s mind in terms of how she expected Vera to react. Rox always had ideas in mind and was predicting outcomes, it was part of her training that had bene ingrained into her after all these years. A part of her guessed that maybe Vera would be upset with her and not want to talk to her while another part guessed that maybe Vera would have actually missed her.

She of course knew that Vera would not have forgotten her, not after the year they spent together having one another’s back. However, she did not expect that Vera would actually hug her right then and there. It actually caught Roxana a little off guard which resulted in the palms of her hands being coated in crystals to be prepared to create a weapon for retaliation. Thankfully her mind registered that Vera was giving her a hug and not trying to do physical harm to her, which caused her to quickly calm down.

Still, Rox did feel a little odd now having been hugged when she was not used to being hugged...well ever. "Three years." Rox spoke up in response to Vera's words about it having been too long. She debated not saying anything at all and just nodding but she needed to get used to hearing herself in English again and speaking it. She returned the hug and remained still when Vera stepped back, noticing the other girl looking over her. She did the same, taking in information and confirming Vera's relationship status was in fact true. "Wow?" Rox asked in slight confusion. She then hesitated for a moment then.

"It is good to see you after so long. You look as beautiful as ever and I apologize for missing your wedding and not sending a gift, but I brought it with me." Roxana apologized after giving the complement and the congratulation. She would have mailed her gift but things came up so she figured since she was back in the states to give the gift in person at some point.
