Chapter 1: Wannabe | 42

This was intended to be a bit of light relief, Freya having a serious discussion with the head of the Council (and former superhero herself) Mary Gemmas… and Tom dancing in his jocks intentionally trying to distract her. Not sure how well it works as a sequence, I do like that Freya maintains her composure while pitching a cushion at him in an attempt to make him stop. I remain unconvinced to this day that Mary would have really seen anything at all in the mirror behind Freya but it makes for a nice character moment for all involved and a funny moment to end off this scene. Also, for those keeping score, the conversation between Mary and Freya refers to the comments about Kaycee made by Karma Joffe. Tomorrow… Kaycee and Nadine head back to the dorm to get acquainted with the other cadets which is still one of my favorite scenes from this first chapter. Thanks for the comments and support!
