Boredom didn't tend to suit Aileen very well. While she didn't mind curling up with a book occasionally, or having a movie marathon or something like that, having absolutely nothing to do tended to leave her in a bad mood. However, when she'd woken up this morning, she'd found that she'd managed to go through pretty much all the clothes she'd been keeping at the Tower. The rest were at home, and that was somewhere she was avoiding right now. Knowing that that evil bitch from the other universe had been there, sleeping in her bed, wearing her clothes, eating her food, it just didn't feel like home anymore. She'd already moved to a different room at the tower, but she couldn't exactly just move house. So rather than going back home to pick up clothes, she decided to kill two birds with one stone.
So it was a shopping trip for her. She worked for Ginnie Stark and she was fairly sure she could use a company credit card if she had to, so it wasn't like money was an issue. So she had the whole day to just try on outfits, decide what she wanted and get it. Perfect. Well, it would be if she had anyone to spend it with. Oh well, she could do just fine by herself. And she had. So far she'd gotten three outfits, a couple more tops, and she'd even popped into Victoria's Secret and gotten herself some interesting stuff. Well, if Ginnie questioned the bill, Aileen felt like she could just show her what she'd bought and Ginnie would understand.
Still, she'd been shopping for almost four hours now, and she was getting kinda bored. Plus carrying around the bags was getting a bit inconvenient. Maybe it was time for her to head home and try and do something else to fill in the time until Ginnie or one of the others got home. Maybe she'd go to a movie or something. Well, before she decided anything, Aileen decided to stop off for a drink at a coffee shop. She sat down at a table with all of her bags and got herself a cappuccino, and then sat by herself, sipping it in a slightly sulk fashion. She needed something to do. And not in the distraction way, in the superhero way. The job way. She still went on patrols most nights, but it seemed like she just wasn't getting as much crime as she used to. The last time she'd gotten anything more interesting than petty theft was that girl in Metropolis, and she wasn't looking for a repeat of that. Well, being gloomy wasn't going to help her. Maybe she just needed some company.
