The boots sounded like an ideal solution, especially because she was planning on wearing something similar to work anyway. As Max handed them to her, she pulled them on. They were a little roomy on her good foot, but she laced it nice and tight. She left it a little looser on her wrapped foot, and stood up, going over to where her backpack was and digging out a portable charger. She plugged her phone into it as Max babbled about walking her back.
"Chill, I don't mind, okay?" She said with a laugh. "Besides, if you try sending anything after me, I now know where you live. We're at an impasse, my dear, so no point in it," she teased, adding a wink for emphasis. She tossed her heels into the bag and slung it up onto her shoulder.
Out of curiosity, she flexed her hand and grinned as she felt the reassuring crackle of static around it. "I'm pretty sure that shit is out of my system, if that comforts you at all," she said. She wasn't completely willing to show off her power just yet. She trusted Max enough not to stab her in the back in broad daylight, but she wasn't willing to give away that Spectre worked through electrokinesis. Plus, it could raise suspicion about a young, brilliant researcher working on a project that involved electricity. She glanced at her phone. A few texts, most of them ones she could wait to reply to. She quickly sent replies to the ones that couldn't wait.
"Sorry, got some stuff I had to deal with. You good to go?" She asked, looking up as she shoved her phone back in her pocket.
