Okay.  One - actually two - down, just...a dozen to go?  I can take five minutes to get myself together.

Timothy leans over the restroom sink, his eyes pointed at his reflection but not truly seeing much of anything.  Honestly, if someone handicapped needs it, I'll just give them a dose of being a superhero by way of apology.  Maybe it'll fix what's wrong with them if I leave it long enough.  Honestly, it's super slow, but maybe if someone has a broken spine or something the doctors could scrape out the scar tissue and let my power cook.  What's it gonna do, paralyze them more than they were before?  If only it wasn't so god damn slow.  I could be a medical esper.  Instead, I'm...being incredibly ungrateful.  And obsessing over a stupid hypothetical instead of actually solving my problems.

UGH.

Okay.  It's fine, you're incredibly hot, in peak physical condition, and you're going to be able to recover from anything until you die.  ..as long as you get guiding and don't get stuck in a dungeon.  And you'd have to deal with job interviews ANYWAY, even if you didn't get one-in-a-million superpowers.  This kind of stress would still be around.  It's stupid to be stressed about it.

He tucks his tie into his white button-down shirt and carefully splashes his face with water.  Do not water your tie, it is not a plant and will not appreciate it.  Okay.  That's better.

Paper towel, dry the hands.  Leave the face wet, he can stand it for a few minutes.  Three minutes of thumb-typing later, he has the following:

ACTION ITEMS

1: Tinfoil bites???  Unpleasant, reserve regen time.
2: Pregnancy actress, Lyra, look up shows, IMDB.  Brittles things, good match.  Ring?  Married?  Convo landmines, avoid.
3: Counterweight, Zay, Say?? spelling??  Backlash???  civvy esper, on contract.  Looks annoyed, all bark(so far??)
4: Partner: Jay, teleport?  Rhyming scheme, why, find out backlash, civvy esper, some combat
5: Partner/Brother/??? Ly - name scheme, why???  Pendragon, British?  Look up later, backlash?
6: Reconsider firm handshake vs. risk of 'tinfoiling', don't freak out next time

NOTES FOR FUTURE

1: Lyra - Winnipeg contract, good match - teleporter, nice. 
2: BETTER SOCIAL NOISES.  should be ACTION but meh
3: Less 'um'.  lmao.  lol.  NGMI.
4: Practice card retrieval. when card in hand.
5: Copper strand, reconsider for future.  Cool idea, not a hit yet.
6: SITUATIONAL AWARENESS, DO NOT BULLSEYE ON PARTNER.  Acknowledge others!!  Don't cut!

Tim thinks back for a moment, to an innocent comment earlier.  That...that was actual salami she meant, right?  Tim once more gazes through the mirror, eyes largely unseeing.  "Hooooo boy.  I...whoooooof."  Get it together.  Wash your face again.  Cold water on the head for a reset, and you forgot your stupid comb.  His hands mechanically re-tuck the tie  It's too soon for anything like that, anyway.  It's been a month.

When Tim emerges, he looks much more put-together.  His suit is crisp, his jacket sharp.  His tie might be slightly askew, and if his face looks a little shinier than it did ten minutes ago, well, who's to say?  Espers.  Could be anything.
