babochka_x899If Alex were paying better attention she would say she woke up feeling off this morning, but as she's been feeling off in a variety of ways since before she showed up in Darrow, she blames it on a lack of caffeine and sleep. She grabs her first cup of coffee at home to drink on Seymour's walk, but once the puppy has run out all the energy he'd built up over the night, and she's taken him home, she's too antsy to stay in the apartment.
So she dresses for a run, but decides to get another coffee beforehand. Preston isn't at the Coffee Bean when she goes in, but most of the staff know her by now anyway and a large almond milk latte with an extra shot is ready for her about the same time she gets to the counter to pay... and in theory to order, but they've already handled that with little more than significant looks while the guy in front of her waffled on what to get.
Coffee in hand, Alex heads out the door, pausing to hold it for the person coming toward it without really looking at them. It's a nice enough day, maybe the sunshine will do something about whatever it is that's bugging her today. And once she's properly caffeinated, she can get in that run. Ten miles or so sounds good this morning.

Someone nearby screams, and she looks up, green eyes bright in the twisting, shifting features as she forces out one more word while she can. "Run."

"Please, try to stay calm. Breathe...just don't freak out!" She freezes when she hears the instruction to run, hesitating between staying and doing exactly that. If it were Bruce? She would stay. She doesn't know this woman though and so she starts to back away.
"Please..."

Alex launches forward, only the small part of her that wanted, and still wants, to keep Irina safe adjusting her trajectory, and she lands on the hood of a car before pounding a hole right through the roof.

Then she figures that she needs to run. She doesn't want to but she doesn't know this girl and she isn't so sure she wouldn't kill her right now.
