Back to work

Your sexual appetite satiated, you climb out of bed and tell Julia that you'll be in touch. You grab your clothes and teleport back to the mansion, where you spend the rest of the weekend experimenting with your new rings. So far, flying has been the most fun and you enjoy swooping around the city while invisible. It's so much easier to find and fight crime, though you mostly encounter small time criminals.

When Monday morning arrives, you get dressed and go to work where Laura has set up an entire day of interviews for you to talk about your story on the mayor. By the end of the day, you're exhausted from doing the interviews and walk into Laura's office.

The editor is dictating some notes to Amanda and nods for you to sit down. When she's done, Laura turns to you. "Good job on the story again and with the interviews today. I know it's tedious, but it helps to promote the story and the paper. One of our folks told me that subscriptions and clicks are already significantly up today. You should be proud, John."

"Thanks. I did enjoy doing some of the interviews but..." you say.

"But what?"

"But I'm not sure how I'm going to top that story."

Laura dismisses you with a wave. "Oh. That happens all the time. Don't worry, you'll find something. It's not like I can fire you or anything. Just take your time. Is that all?"

"Yeah. I guess I'll go do some research then." You exit your office with Amanda. On the way back to your office, you see a group of nuns of varying ages in the middle of the newsroom. Some of the younger nuns are quite pretty and also excited to be there. Curious, you pull one of reporter walking by and ask what's going on.

"The nuns? Oh, the religion section is doing a piece about politics and religion. Real iffy stuff if you ask me."

You stand around and watch them mingle with the reporters for a while. It's hard to differentiate some of them since it's a group of about two dozen nuns in their black and white habits with only their faces showing, but you do notice one particular nun who's stunning. She has dark brown eyes and bold eyebrows and her lips seem naturally red, matching her hair which you see a hint of under the hood of the habit. You think for a second you saw two of her and you blink. You must be seeing things or tired, so you decide to head to your office for a nap. Once you close the door behind you, you slump onto the couch on your back and relax. A few minutes later, just as you're about to drift off into sleep, there's a knock on your door.
