She should have known that today was going to be a bad day. It had started this morning when she'd gotten a call far too early from someone at LexCorp. She can no longer remember who it was - some cog in the wheel, no doubt - but they said that she was urgently needed. At least she can count it lucky that where she was needed was in one of LexCorp sponsored projects at the university instead of having to get herself over to Metropolis on such short notice.
But in exchange for that short commune, she found herself having to work with a group of researchers, all too new to the field, instead of the more experienced teams that would be at one of LexCorp's official labs. But at least they were right about one thing: They definitely did need her. Though she spent far more time patiently trying to explain why it's not a good idea to make a cell infinitely replicating than she did in actually fixing the problem.
Eventually she was able to set the situation straight and leave them all back to their work, but not before she started to feel a headache coming on. She will never, ever be a teacher - she's just not cut out to spend her time patiently explaining things that she'd mastered long ago. She'd rather use what she's learned and expand upon it than to try and pass it along to someone else. But that's why she tends to simply publish her findings - let other people who know the field figure out how to explain it all to the masses. She'll spend her time trying to come up with even more insights, thank you.
Glad to finally be out of that lab, Nina breaths a heavy sigh of relief as she exits the building, and proceeds to walk from there across the quad to where she parked. Hope is with her, carefully keeping an eye out for trouble, but at the moment she's so happy to have that part of her day behind her that she doesn't even spare the time to get annoyed that the large woman is hovering a bit too closely again - complaining about it wouldn't be worth the effort.
