One thing Vega was never good at was hiding how she felt. Her mother always knew when she was lying, when she was hurt and wouldn't say so. If people normally wore their hearts on their sleeves Vega's was on her forehead in bold print. Extra bold. As Cam spoke her face heated up, every little thing he said and did might as well be on hyper drive in her mind. The Nervous chuckle, the way his eyes traced over her waiting to see what she did. It was times like this she wished she could hide her emotions. Be cool and collective. But no, here she was listening to Cam spill his guts and all she could do was turn the same color as the bridge and wear the goofiest smile that has ever crossed her face.
Cam liked her. The klutzy flour wearing bakers daughter she was. He liked her. The one thing that plagued her mind was if she liked him. She knew she did, but she didn't think of it in terms like he was. She liked being around him, liked to be his friend, but anything passing that was never a thought in her head and she didn't know how to handle it. She hadn't moved her arms, burying her head in them for a split second before regaining her thoughts.
"I think I want to see what happens." she said simply, confirming what he had said and looking over at him. "I, I won't lie I never thought of it like that. But I know I like hanging out with you, a lot. You always make my day better when you come to the shop, and I know my mother adooooores you." she teased lightly, her face still bright red, but cooling itself off. "I want to try though." she declared, in a unlike her firmness before laughing at her own seriousness. Try was something she could do, and Cam was definitely worth it.
Just as she finished the ding for the next stop came and she recognized it as their stop for the zoo. Try huh. She jumped up, almost refiled with a new excitement in her before looking at Cam with a sweet smirk and holding out her hand "Come on its our stop."

Flynns excitement only made Vega more excited. She loved that she was excited to learn something and honestly? Vega was excited that she wanted to learn. With the exception of Cam, she didn't see or talk to many of the cohorts outside of camp. Sure she went to a few parties every now and then with Jen but nothing like this. The shop was like a comfort zone to her and the idea of certain people coming in stressed her out but Flynn was a exception. She didn't want to fix her, she knew what Flynn did in camp and how she acted towards some of the others, but this wasn't camp and she didn't deserve to be babied or thought of as trouble here. She wasn't some broken thing that need Vega to fix her with friendship. Here she was just Vega's...friend. But everyone deserved some love and care, even the platonic kind. She smiled and nodded "I guess you're right, we have to cheer up our chaotic lives some how." she said with a more chipper tone, she didn't think she was being cheesy which she thought was good. "So its settled then. Whenever you have a few Sunday you can meet me here and I'll teach you whatever I've got for the day." she said with a confident nod to the plan. Teaching Flynn would be fun!

Vega had always been so determined to be free, away from New Rome, away from anything Roman at all. She would have dreams as a kid of her growing wings and flying out of New Rome, seeing the world and never stopped flying. Each flap of a wing taking her someone new, somewhere where she felt new. Vega had dreamed about it all her life and never thought she would get that feeling of pure freedom. Free from the world and herself. Looking at Cameron's outstretched hand, the look on his face that was a mix of happiness and something else, the way the air felt like it swirled around them. She felt it. She felt her freedom and he was starring back at her.
She didn't know how she felt about him truly yet, all she knew was that she wanted to know. She took his hand.
It hadn't take long to find the cable car, which Vega had to say was a close second for her favorite way to travel. She was so amazed by the way it moved up and down the steep rolling hills of the city. Animals were cool she had to admit, because honestly, she hadn't seen a lot of them. New Rome wasn't exactly a petting zoo, mythical beast that roamed the grounds where normal to her, But things like otters? Heck she was so excited. But one thing couldn't leave her mind. As they road the cable car she leaned, letting her arms drape over the railing and resting her head on it, eyeing the boy next to her till she finally just couldn't take it anymore. "Sooo....Date huh?" Foot meet mouth.

Cam's grin. Something new to add onto the list of things Vega has ever seen that made her truly warm inside. She had never seen him grin like that for as long as she had known him. Which she realized wasn't that long. That once chance encounter had lead to this, all of this. It wasn't something that Vega would have ever expected before. He liked the idea. He wanted to go on a date with her. They are on a date right now.
She watched as he asked if there was something else she wanted to see. She glanced around for a second and it caught her eye. On the ground laid a flyer. That. Was. It. Vega's grin had to double as she stood up and walked over to the flyer and picked it up. "Well there is a Zoo near by. I've never been, We could go check it out" she said rather uncharacteristically calmly. She was finally handling all these outside world thing better than before and though she was excited managed to not freak out.

Vega laughed as he said no one has ever asked about football before. That was weird to her, if it meant something to Cam why would not one ever talk about it? There had to be a reason for him to mention it when they met right? It meant something. His life meant something. She shrugged "Is that a threat or a promise?"
Error: 104
Vega can not process this current emotion.
Date. Second Date. A second date would imply a first. But wait, when was the first. The first. First. Words couldn't begin to process what she was thinking. Cam thought this was a date. When was this declared a date? A date with Cam. Was she interested? That was the real question. Cam interested her, and she was in him. Maybe it wasn't at that level yet but she knew for a fact she was. She had never felt that way about someone before, ever, in her life. All she knew was that she was interested in him for sure. A second date, making this the first.
It was a soft nod, mostly looking down at her plate before she looked up at him. "yes." she said raising up her voice a little more. "I'd like that a lot."

This must what it felt like to be immortal. As they sat there eating in quiet, Vega finally found herself adjusting to everything. The sounds of the waves, the smell of the sea and city mixing, the taste of crab cakes. It was finally hitting Vega, everything that she had been unable to figure out before slowly register in her mind and she knew this must be what i was like to be immortal. She felt so much bliss just being here with Cam. Like the entire world could stop and she wouldn't care.
When he made a comment about his mother's cooking she paused for a second. That was right. Cam's mother didn't live in New Rome, she lived out her in the mortal world. She didn't know why Cam's mother gave her mix feelings of joy and terror. The idea of meeting his mom was scary, she had no idea what she was like and if she'd even like her. Then again why should she worry about that right? She just nodded while finishing up her food. His mom huh? The mortal part of Cameran, the one she hardly knew. Demigod Cam she knew from the cohorts and their run around and battles. Precamp Cam she barely knew anything about.
The one thing she did know was football. She laughed as she mentioned it. "I'd love to get out more. And I have a feeling with whats been happening recently they will be sending more scouting parties out. " she started shaking her head, no no talk of New Rome right now. This was her free time. "Is it weird to want to see it all? To want to take in everything?" she questioned for a second before laughing a little to herself. "Though I think the next thing on my list is football. I want to know all about it. Specifically about you and football." she said gesturing her fork towards him dramatically. She wanted to know a lot more about Cam.

Vega broke out in a wide smile at Flynns response to her offer. She was glad her rambling made it past translate and that she even liked the idea. When Flynn walked in all she knew about her was trouble and she was glad to have a chance to actually get to known the girl behind that trouble. She hoped they could be friends. Vega honestly didn't have many of those. She nodded softly at the girl " Yeah, I could teach you how to make pretty much everything here. Cupcakes, muffins, coffee, exc. I've been doing it for so long." she said and gave a small giggle at Flynn's comment "Its not about them being good or bad, its mostly about the time and love you put into making them. Cupcakes are cupcakes regardless of taste, but putting a little bit of extra care in with them makes all the difference." she said, laughing at how cheesy it all sounded. Like a bad quote from a baking book. "My mom always says the people that come here don't come for the best taste in the world but they come for a welcoming place. Somewhere everyone knows each other and where they know that everything was made with care and love." she paused for a second and laughed again, louder and more vocal this time "I know pretty cheesy huh? But it's a nice thought" she said taking another bite of her cupcake.

As the departed from their tour Vega couldn't describe how she was feeling. Cam honestly was the best friend she never knew she was missing out on. He knew how much this meant to her, to be out of camp, even for this little bit of time. The idea of leaving camp had been in her mind for as long as she could remember, but she had never left on her own. As much as she wanted to leave she was always so scared to go, it was all she had ever known. But this wasn't New Rome. This was her moment with Cam.
As they hopped off the the trolly she looked at the pier and the ocean. The smell alone was so strange, salt layered the air and soft roars of sound were everywhere. Sea food? She shook her head, looking up at Cam as he talked about all the special food and what was popular. "Nope I've never even heard of those before" she said with a little chuckle. She let him order and followed him as he pulled them off to a table overlooking the bay. The sea breeze felt amazing, the ride here had felt like a city tour, everything big and over populated. Here felt different, everything had slowed down. She smiled "Its better than anything I could have ever imagined. Honestly Cam this place, this world. It is amazing. I've never seen anything like it before." she said as she slowly opened up her food, even that was different. She felt like a explorer of a new world. Everything was different, new and exciting. She didn't even know how to thank Cam for this day of relaxing. She looked down at her food before trying a piece.
"What. The. Hades." she said softly, before taking another bite. "THIS IS AMAZING IVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING SO GOOD IN MY LIFE." She said in her once again over excited voice that she had started this day with. She may have started shoving the rest in her face, this was amazing. She loved the outside world.

Vega let him drag her along as she took in everything. Their ride seemed to be a cable car hooked into the middle of the road. Mortals where everywhere. Everything was so simple and laid back. She smiled as she saw the world around her, this was her dream, her freedom. Yet she couldn't imagine being out there without Cam. He was her personal tour guide. She was too distracted and almost fell behind when Cam was jogging and felt his arm wrap around her waist and hike her up.
She heard his joke about keeping up but all sense were hyper aware of the arm around her waist as they hovered on the back of the car. He pressed against her to keep her klutzy self steady. All her life she had wanted to be free, be out here and feel like she was finally living for once in her life. She was a actual person now, not just a solider. All her life she had this dream, but now it seemed off. Everything was different now that it was real. Exploring this city wouldn't be enjoyable without Cameron by her side. She looked down at her waist where his arm there, carefully leaning into him before bringing her focus back to the overactive sense around her.
The sights were almost too much for her to believe they were real. Romans had some amazing construction but she could have never imagined anything like the world around her. She smiled when Cam pulled her attention back to him, saying that their stop was coming up and they were getting food. She nodded and waited for their stop to come before hopping off of the cable car with Cam "Food sounds great. Honestly anything sounds good right now. I still can't believe im here." she said looking up at him and smiled, "Thank you so much for this Cam. This is the best thing anyone has ever done for me." she said rather softly compared to her normal voice before shaking it off and tugging on his hand "So lets go eat some non roman food!"

Flynn seemed to be fully enjoying herself and Vega just smiled wilder. Some things made her soft inside and seeing people enjoying her baking was one of those things. Her mom, customers, Cam and now Flynn. She was starting to feel more at home the more she met people. She smiled as she ate her cupcake and nodded. "Of course, whenever I make anything you can have some." she said looking back at the deserted shop and then back at the girl. "If you want, I could teach you sometime. Baking I mean of course. It wouldn't be the master chief but it is something. Of course only if you want to, I mean not everyone likes cooking others like to just eat things as well." she was mumbling like before but more confidently at least. She wanted to be Flynn friend and she knew that this could lead that way.

Every sight and sound felt like a thousand. The noise of movement, city sounds and the clogs of air. Nothing was roman. Tall steel and cold. Full of noise, of chaos. Disorder was the order and everyone feel into their own lines. Vega loved it. It was new and unexplored. She wanted to see it all. Vera determined that it would be best to let Cam take the lead, seeing how he had been out here and everything. It was strange to think that cam had lived out here, he had once been here on his own without her. She smiled at the thought of a younger cam being mortal, playing football, going to school, exc. She looked up at him and smiled, following him towards the cable cars. They look just like she'd imagine. Breathless was what she could describe it as. She felt like she could do anything. "This is extraordinary. I mean it really, this is the greatest thing anyone has ever and probably will ever do for me." She still had his hand. "So whats first. I am all for being a tourist." Once they hit main street level she was agape at everything. This was huge. It could fit at least two New Romes and it was all different. Different colors, different styles, fog settled in a bay in t he long distances, mountains in the other and hill lined with red shapes filled the distance.

Vega liked to believe she didn't care if anyone liked her baking or not. Kinda that whole 'i don't have to please everyone' feeling and yet when she saw Flynn stuffing her face and enjoying it she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. There was a pleasure in people liking things that you made, it made her feel like she had done something good. She laughed when she volunteered to be a taste tester and kept her smile on her face. "I think a taste tester would work perfectly. I've got a few new flavors I've been meaning to try anyways." She ate her cupcake with a fork, having just cleaned up her messy self and not wanting to make another. "It's all a lot of trial and error when making them but I want to make them the best I can you know?" she sorta rambled as she ate. Vega didn't have much to do in her life; legion, home, work, repeat. Cupcakes were something she could pour herself into without having to leave, she could make them about anything with anything and with no rules attached. Every cupcake was different, some had more sugar, some had more eggs or milk, she never followed the same recipe twice and tired to make the most unusual cupcakes she could. It was her mark on New Rome, every cupcake was like tagging a wall to her. It left her mark.

The idea of getting out of camp was more than enough for Vega to be thrilled with her life for a while, but getting out with Cam? She couldn't even pretend that she wasn't thrilled because she was. Cam was a great guy and honestly she enjoyed being his friend. She watched as she he start to use his powers and smirked slightly, it seemed just as similar as hers but still, his had some real force behind it. It was a hard wind, powerful, and demanding. Hers was more swirling, it rotated around her as if she was the world and her powers were all the breezes combined. She was so close to escaping, so close to being free from all the rules and regulations. Freedom.
She threw herself up into the air following in suit. Everything bent around her and shot her up, taking her far and far away from her cage. She looked over at Cam, smiling at her as she did. They made their way out of the city and to the mountains. Out and away, out and away. Freedom, Freedom. God she was in love with this feeling that leaving gave her. A sense of choice, that she for once could make her life the way it was suppose to be. Maybe it was the leaving, that what it had to be giving her this feeling. Other than Cam. As the city approached she saw a back alley that was shielded from view and gestured to Cam to land there. Out of the site of mist seeing mortals.
As she landed she looked back at Cam and just smiled. This is the best gift ever. "Thank you Cam. This is. Amazing" she said before grabbing his hand and pulling him with her "Come on lets go see the world!!!" she said super excitedly before calming down slightly "Come show me what the normal world is like."

It was hard to image that Cam had once lived in the outside world. Grew up out there. It was hard to imagine him, a centurion of the roman legion as a small kid, playing behind a picket fence and other stereotypical american dreams. She was roman through and through, she had no idea what it was even like out there except for small trips in and out to get a few things that new rome couldn't supply. God the look on her face when she first saw a cell phone must have been amazing. The more she thought about it she wondered what his life outside the borders of camp had been, if it was a pleasant past or one he'd rather leave in the shadows, she did her best not to think about prying, it wasn't her place to.
She smirked as he asked about her flying, answering with a quick shot into the air. This was her element, being in the sky was where her home was. Not New Rome, not Camp, up here where nothing else could touch her to bring her back down. "I am always good to fly." she said with a smart ass smirk on her face. "The real question is if you think you can keep up Jupiter boy." she had no idea where she was going but she was itching to speed off into the world. Escape, even if just for this moment.
