"Mm, thanks." Veronica wrapped her hands around the cup, letting the head radiate into her slender digits. She held it for a little while before sipping it, not bothering with any cream or sugar.
"Well, I dunno how much you know about what went on that night. I'm sure some other kids've been talkin' to you about some stuff. I guess most of it doesn't really matter." She stopped herself from babbling, shaking her head at herself. "I ain't on any teams. I'm not takin' an X-team minor like a lot of students here. But I got myself put down as a reservist I guess you'd call it. And they needed me to go with a team that night. Things went okay, coulda gone better but none of us was hurt too bad."
She paused to sip her coffee then stared down into the mug. "We thought it was all over until we released some hostages. Turned out they were a trap too and attacked one'a the team members. I tried to just stop one of 'em, to restrain 'em, you know? But I guess I was too big and... I squashed 'er."
