Gemini found her twin sister Leela crashed on the couch in her ratty apartment, snoring raspily with a melted bottle of champagne clutched to her breast and teary lines of mascara on her cheeks. The dregs of the alcohol had spilled when the bottle liquefied, and the room smelled of booze and farts.
Eau de fraternity, Gemini thought. This isn't going to work. Despite the urge to flee she remained in place, helmet in hand, looming over the couch wearing the ill-fitting battlesuit she'd put on an hour before.
As she woke, Leela said Gemini's given name with a snort and a quiet belch: "Chelsea?"
"Yeah, it's me."
"What are you doing in that get-up?"
"There's an emergency," said Gemini. "Are you drunk?"
"Could be," Leela said.
"Meaning yes, I suppose, or you'd take my head off for even asking."
"Have it your way." Leela flashed an uncharacteristic grin. "I saw you on the news today. Amazing footage. Is it always like that?"
"It's a blur," Gemini said. The words were out before she realized they were true.
Leela stretched, curling her toes. "Mom has a nice glossy photo of you saving that baby--for her scrapbook."
"Baby..." she said, just barely remembering.
