The alarm clock may as well be a chainsaw as far as her head is concerned. She opens her eyes to the initially blurry sight of, "6:00 AM," in red. Fumbling with her left hand, she turns of the screeching buzz sound that has awaken her. Her name is Adele and while she begins to slowly awake, she feels the right arm of her partner, Sandra still draped over her. Adele brushes away some Sandra's red hair with her left hand and kisses her on the right cheek. Her voice is something of a whisper.
Adele: Baby... Baby, time to wake up.
Adele hears Sandra groan slightly. Adele pulls away the covers, her body slightly aching from the activity the day before. Pulling back the covers, she discovers Sandra to still be partially in her costume from the night before, the unitard itself down to the waist. Sandra had only been home and in bed for a few hours, but still it was time to wake up. Sandra's eyes slowly open and she feels her own body aching, even more than Adele's.
Sandra: ...Hard to move.
Adele helps Sandra out of the bed, both eventually standing and holding one another.
Adele: Tough night?
Sandra nods.
Adele: Do you need me to call work for you?
Sandra: Nm-mm. I need to work.
Adele: Baby, you're not even out of costume yet. Come on...let's get you to the bath and I'll get some coffee going.
Sandra: Okay.
Sandra's voice is groggy and her body is tired. They exchange a brief kiss before walking together to the bathroom. As Adele helps Sandra prepare for her bath, her mind is full of worry for her partner's sake. She thinks about how Sandra could use the rest from all of the working and crime fighting, at least for a few days. The bath is prepared as Sandra pulls her unitard down to her ankles, then slowly stepping out of them. Adele sees a bruise on her right butt cheek.
Adele: Baby, what happened last night?
Sandra shakes her head.
Sandra: Nothing. Just fighting crime.
Sandra places her body into the bathtub and breathes a sigh of relief. The water is comforting to her body and mind. Adele turns away, heading for the kitchen, with Sandra's unitard in hand. Adele understands the life as she lives the duality, just like Sandra. Preparing the coffee, Adele goes back to the bedroom, picking up the rest of Sandra's costume as well as her own. The goal this morning is clean the uniforms, take care of work issues at her computer and then possibly join her sisters in the crime fighting community for a short while. For the moment, though, it is simply time to wake up and start another day.
