Avery was working on a couple of things and she had managed to make her way down to the orphanage. She did need to check on all these kids but she was here to see how Sophie was doing since it had been a while since they had talked, all apart of being a business woman as she waited to see if Sophie would see her.

It was after school but she did have a chance to have a break in the garden before she had to start her homework. So potted round in her crutches looking over the flowers that would still be round a bit longer. She wasn't sure what the seasons here were supposed to be like but she had been told about the great storm and that was always a possibility for the entire region. She did suppose the island was always prepared for one when it did come round. She was getting more feeling back in her leg and had even went diving round the sunken pirate ship; it did involve a little drama but she did feel she was making progress after the relapse. So after her fresh air she left the wheelchair near the door that led to the garden and returned on her crutches. It was then she seen Avery who would know how her rehab was going as well as the relapse she was recovering from. "Hello Avery" she said seeing her. "How are you". It wouldn't just be Avery either as the nanny was bringing the twins out for a drive and was asked to call in here. Avery Ashford

People knew who Avery looked like but not Levi or Lyra; so people looking at Amber might think the babies she had in the back seat were hers. It was a plain looking car and she did have Lyra in a dress and sun hat. Levi was in a pants and a t-shirt with a little cap of his own. She wasn't going to take them out in babygrows as she pulled up at the orphanage. She wasn't smartly dressed but casual in jeans and a long sleeved yellow t-shirt with trainers. "We're going to see your mommy" she said to the babies who were taking not of everything they could see and hear. This would be a great experience for them and also a safe environment. So carrying in both babies in their carry baskets she seen Avery talking to another girl. Perhaps one of the residents who was on crutches and a pretty girl too. She would be later on as she grew up as well. "I got the call" she said as both twins looked really curious after she left them down. Avery Ashford

"Sophie," she said. "My apologies for everything around the island and taking so late to get back to you but I am here now. Business certainly does not run itself and that is fine. How are you feeling?" she said as she heard Amber. "Thank you," she said. To Avery being in the same space with the twins should be enough but how she was upset right now with Carter she was just letting it go. Her being upset had made her dive even harder into business. "This is Sophie we are going to make her something I do believe, possibly anyway." Sophie ChangAmber Louise Stephenson

Sophie assumed everything got back to Avery eventually and she was a busy woman. She could figure that out from the brief time they had together after she put the posters up in the slums. She even helped her pack and settle her into a hotel room before her orphanage placement. "That's fine Avery. I totally understand but I'm needing the wheelchair less and getting more feeling in my leg. If progress continues I'll be able to leave the crutches behind as well" she replied sounding cheerful. The other woman hadn't been introduced yet but she figured she'd find out shortly. "Oh something for me?" she posed. Then turned to Amber and said "pleased to meet you. And the babies". Then look a closer close look after making their way over. Both looked so cute. Avery AshfordAmber Louise Stephenson

The polite and cheerful girl made Amber smile. Perhaps the twins being around might help Avery but she could see she was going deeper into business. Ethan was away at times too but the little ones did need the love and attention. That was where she came into this but before long the babies would start to notice who was paying them the most attention. She was thanking and nodded to Avery. Then a look to the babies to make sure that they were still fine. "Hello Sophie, I'm Amber. You seem to like babies too" she added softly. She noted the girl was on a road to recovery but she did wondered what her boss meant. Avery AshfordSophie Chang

This was cute the little bonding. "Yes yes babies are cute," she said as she took a second. "Sophie," she said. "I was thinking about your injuries and then I got this idea for a project. I am thinking we can make you a suit of sorts if you are interested, it will help until you get your use of your abilities back but it will need to be tested and retested of course."

Avery was offering some help with her abilities. She was able to put weight on her foot now but her leg was far from ideal as she was slow and weakened. This was for her but the smart Sophie wondered if it could also help others later on. "It sounds interesting. What can you tell me about it?" she replied sounding curious in addition to her current state of mind. She did a lot before she'd gotten shot and would like to get back to that stage again. Avery had also gotten her here so she owed her and this sounded not only like fun but a way of helping out. Avery AshfordAmber Louise Stephenson

Amber moved the carry baskets so the twins could see more that was round them but she could hear the conversation. This Sophie sounded very curious for starters and she seemed to be up for this testing. It was Lyra who kicked and waved her arms to want out but right now was not a good idea as she could move quickly even without crawling. There was more capacity here than she expected and she'd seen the grounds on her way in. This didn't look like any orphanage she'd seen in a movie. It was bigger and ultra modern; surely a sign of what the island could do and an example to the rest of the world just like ARI already was. So while Sophie and Avery talked she took a seat and relaxed while rocking Lyra's basket and Levi still got his good look round. Avery AshfordSophie Chang

"Now I am not a doctor so I might have to get Sita to make some adjustments as I pull it together but I do think that we could make something and this is also not me discouraging your progress. I just think it could truly help you in the end." She pulled out a few papers and looked them over. "Well I can have my team put blasters on it, I still need to work on the mobility and anything else that you might want added I can have them add as well," she said as she walked over and picked up Levi. She was going to try and mother but the hope was slim. "This is going to be a test model of course." Sophie ChangAmber Louise Stephenson

Sophie got a glance at the papers while Avery was getting Levi. A picture of what it looked like its the basic form was a metal suit with a person inside it; a computer mockup but Avery did say things could be added to it. Thoughts crossed her mind about not just helping her left leg work the way it should. If she had the same agility as before it would mean her being able to get more places in the island under her own power. So handing these back to Avery once she had the baby she noticed that the other woman was looking after the baby girl. "A good start would be giving full mobility to to my left leg. Then I could do what I was doing before. I don't have a problem in testing this out" she replied sounding positive but the idea of other options wouldn't go away. Being able to fly like the Rocketeer if there was a jet pack as part of this was appealing. It also sounded like it could be set up for any need. "Blasters? like the jet packs in comics?" she posed curiously. Avery AshfordAmber Louise Stephenson

Amber could hear parts of the conversation as her concentration was on the babies. Then Avery took Levi over which just left her with the playful Lyra who looked like she was having too much fun. Other children coming through this big room were noticing Avery was here and a few noticed Lyra. She had a feeling that this wasn't what her boss really wanted; the reason seemed to be to talk to the girl. So deflect away from Avery. That was her and Lyra's job as Amber held her securely so the little ones could get a better look. It seemed to be working as she let Lyra hold court. she had to apologise for now being able to let her go. This little girl was on the move already. Avery AshfordSophie Chang

"Like a jet pack yes," she said. "I think I can make it give you a good mobility of your left leg, that is the thing about machines they do what we can not or no longer able to." She felt like one day they might wipe away the race but that was neither here or now it simply was in her mind. "We will have to keep this project a bit under wraps. It's not that it's bad it's more so I can't have everyone coming after me wanting me to take time to create something when it simply is not possible for them at the moment."

Sophie did hope that eventually she'd heal up fully but if that was going to be a long term thing this idea was worth chasing. Just how useable a jetpack would be was another matter but she'd find out during testing. So with that pragmatic view point she looked up at Avery and nodded. "I understand why and I won't talk about it with others. So when do we start?" she asked quietly. At the end of the testing process and it worked there would be something for others to see but she would be in a position to suggest things herself. Avery AshfordAmber Louise Stephenson

"Honestly we could start as early as today but I did not want you to feel rushed. I am not caught up on where your body might be at healing wise and so I did not want or feel the need to rush anything, let alone have you feel as if you needed to be in such a position yourself."
