PoV: Megan

It was 10:47 pm I should have been sleeping, but my mind won't slow down. All of the day's events are whirring through my head. I decided to try to debrief myself and go over the day's events.

I reflected on the morning, like when I was picked up by Ms Fleacher and the drive from the orphanage to Spokane. My talk with Kaylee and showing her my skills in deducing, which was followed by Kaylee trying to deduce me and failing miserably- I ended up just telling her about me. My first real meeting with Cassidy, her telling me that I could call her Mom if I would like. She had been so sweet and supportive during our talk. I also thought about how Kaylee had started my 'Geek Training' - her words, not mine - by watching The Avengers. I had such a hard time trying not roll my eyes at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s incompetents.  I had also started to read a book  Kaylee suggested. It was called Mistborn, The Final Empire and it was so good, I had trouble putting it down.

The debrief didn't help. I flopped on the bed- My bed-  and stared at the ceiling. 

At 11:02 I finally came up with a plan to help me get past my restlessness. I decided to go for a jog. 

I put on my clothes and grabbed my headlamp from the bedside table.

I slinked down the stairs, remembering which ones creaked and avoiding them. A minute later, I was out of the house. I put the headlamp in its red light setting and started to jog.

I kept jogging for three-ish minutes then started to run, slowly at first then faster and faster. Soon I was sprinting near to my top speed. I love the feeling of sprinting. Just me and my brain keeping me from falling. Just me and my brain, thinking about the cracks in the concrete and simultaneously thinking about the day.

 For example, I was thinking about the effort I had put into getting here, to this "average" household. And the number of second thoughts I was having despite all that work. All that time, pestering Da- Tata, I corrected myself. I smiled, thinking of when I had used that word for the first time. He had been so happy...  I shook head, getting myself back to the present. My side was starting to hurt, so I slowed back down to a jog.

 I turned down some stairs, into a wooded area and I got back to pondering about if all of my work at Tata was worth it. Arg! Why can't I be satisfied? First I work my podex off, trying to convince Tata to let me do this. Now I'm trying to find a way out? I sighed, deciding to stop at a bench I saw up ahead. What am I thinking? I have only just arrived. I should stay for at least a month. And chances are, after that first month, I won't want to leave. I smiled sadly into the darkness. I'll get to that problem later, I thought.

After a little bit, I made my way back to the house. I stood outside for a while, catching my breath. Then I headed inside.  After I'd made it upstairs I flopped on my bed again, this time from exhaustion, not frustration. Well, now I know why I couldn't sleep. I thought to myself. I hadn't done enough physical activity.

Finally tired, I changed back into my Pajamas and went to sleep.
