"Dunno. A lot, I guess." Leah shrugged. "So, I guess we should start looking for somewhere to spend the night...?" The prospect made her feel vaguely nauseous.

"I guess so," Vanessa replied, equally as uneasy at the idea. "I'm not going in to work tomorrow, not after this. I dunno, maybe we can stay with Mom for a little while?"

Leah made a face. "Yeah, but she's too far away to comfortably commute," she grumbled. "I have tomorrow off but the day after I have to be back. And I'm trying to pick up that second job at the coffee shop. I can't be too far away, not right now." She grimaced.

"I can't believe this happened," Vanessa said, shaking her head. "We can't afford to lose everything. Even with insurance, we can't afford this."

Leah took a deep breath. "Okay. You know what? Tea. We need tea. I don't care if we can't afford it right now, we need tea and a few minutes to absorb what just happened."

"Tea, tea sounds good," Vanessa agreed, nodding. "Tea sounds so good."

"Right." Leah tugged her down the street to the nearest place they could get tea, getting in line. She ignored the few Alphas around out of habit. "What kind of tea today?"

“Jasmine,” Vanessa replied. “Definitely jasmine. Maybe with a little vanilla.” Because the sweetness sounded like a good idea right then.

Leah nodded. "Sounds like a good call," she agreed. Jasmine was always kind of soothing, to her at least. She waited until it was her turn and ordered two teas.

While Leah got their teas, Vanessa got them a table. She was carefully not thinking about their destroyed apartment.

Leah brought the teas over to the table, setting one in front of Vanessa. There would be time to regroup and plan and figure shit out later. For now, she just needed something quiet and normal to settle her nerves.

Vanessa took a sip of the tea and sighed.

“Oh that’s nice,” she murmured, wrapping her hands around the cup to soak in the warmth.

"Mmhm." Leah settled in to her seat a bit, her nerves settling. This was getting better.

Vanessa just sat quietly with her tea, occasionally sipping it. It warmed her through, and she sighed a little.

Leah waited until she was basically done with her tea to ask. "So, I guess we find an Omega-friendly hotel for the night?"

"I guess so," Vanessa said, nodding slowly. "Maybe a motel instead, if we're going to be there for more than a couple of days?"

"Right." Leah sighed. "Okay, motel, I can find one of those, we can stay there for at least a few nights until we figure something out."

"Yeah," Vanessa said. She was quiet for a moment. "We should go back and talk to Clint, and see what he says about the fate of the building."

"Yeah, we should." Leah huffed. "Alright, I think I'm ready to brave that. Let's get going before I lose my nerve again."

Vanessa nodded and threw away her empty cup.

"Let's go," she said, taking her sister's hand. "We can do this."

Leah nodded and left the coffee shop, heading back over to their building. This time, Clint was on the ground and easy to spot, so she made a beeline towards him.

Vanessa saw Clint’s purple hoodie as well and followed Leah.

“Clint?” she called cautiously.

"Oh hey." Clint turned to look at them. "I take it you've seen this whole thing." He flapped a hand at the apartment building.

"Yeah, we... came home to it, actually," Vanessa said. "Turned right back around to go for some tea before coming back to see what had happened."

Clint nodded. "I get that," he agreed, subtly scenting them both. Yup, distressed Omega, great. "How are you feeling by now?"
