Gidget texted Drake and asked him to meet her in her room. She was sitting, as usual, in her computer chair, spinning around idly. Her monitors were full of their usual mumbo jumbo: pages of code, security footage, and a search on weapons choices. She waited for him and yawned. It had been way, way too long since she had last slept.

Drake would just walk on in without knocking.
"Sup, short stack?"

Gidget continued to spin idly back and forth in her computer chair.
"I ran into somebody on one of my morning runs, and they said something. Not sure how I feel about it, or what I think, so I thought I'd run it by you, first. Get your thoughts."
She stopped spinning, rather suddenly, and glowered at Drake.
"And I'm not FUCKING short, thank you."

"If I can hold you head with one hand and you can't reach me with your fist WITHOUT detaching them. You're short."
He would say with a shrug. Then he would close the door and plop onto the couch.
"Anyways what's up."

"So, chick named Rhona found me, and we got to talking... She mentioned something about the School for the Gifted and Fucked."
She continued to spin back and forth, drawing her legs up close to her chest.
"You know. Xapham's school or whatever? Anyway. She said she was a fitness instructor there or something, and offered for me to come learn some endurance and shit. Seems like a good opportunity, doesn't REALLY smell like a trap, but I don't really know how I feel about it. I know next to nothing, except some creep-o who claims to be an angel is out abducting orphans and giving them the 'good life' in a caged in city. Seems fishy to me, but can't put my finger on why."

Drake sighed...
"Are you asking me for my opinion, or is this your way of trying to get me to go with you because you're scared you're going to get diddled by some preacher man."
Drake had discovered internet memes...

Gidget stared at Drake before bursting into laughter. She leaned back in her seat, giving a shake of her head.
"Look, I know I LOOK like a little boy, but I am pretty sure he'd lose interest once he found out what was beneath these." She grabbed her pajama pants and wiggled them around for a moment, before giving a shake of her head.
"What it comes down to is... These people are Meta's. Kinda your area of expertise. I don't know if I should trust them or not. And the idea of anybody thinking they're an angel kind of sets my teeth on edge. That's some Jim Jones shit, right there."

Drake shrugged.
"In his defense, he does have giant wings, a halo, and I watched him fly. Seemed Angelic as shit too me, besides, were I come from there are people that are gods, so an Angel from our world isn't as far fetched as the weirdo's that claim it here."

Gidget stared at Drake for a long moment.
"People... that are gods..."

"Long story short, super strong, super dumb, SUPER crazy."
He would say with a shrug.

"That last one makes a lot of sense. Suuuuuuper crazy... Do they have, like, cult followings and shit?"

"Yes."
I mean... technically not wrong.

"Only they don't call it a cult, they call it worshipers!"
He chuckled!

"Nobody inside a cult calls it a cult."
Gidget shook her head, making a face and turning back to her computers.
"You never technically answered my question. Should I bother with this, or is it a waste of my time?"
