It's not the best store in town but it'll serve her purposes for now. A few food items and basic necessities from here and maybe a stop at a thrift store soon for some clothes. They'll be better able to stay off the grid this way, and she'll have a better time of finding what she needs.

Rogue offers Knock Out the chance to come along, of course, and not just because she'd rather not be alone. If he's watched tv and movies then he'd probably enjoy getting to experience things like this firsthand. Taking a small plastic basket inside, they wander the aisles with purpose. Toiletries, a hairbrush, a very cheap-looking baseball cap. A loaf of bread, jar of peanut butter, and a single set of metal cutlery. Surprisingly, there's a small selection of fresh produce, from which she selects some fruit.

She's just adding an orange to the basket when she pauses, frowning in distress at the many items that need to be cooked or stored in a refrigerator. After all these years, she'd put out of her mind how difficult it was to live on the run. Well, how difficult one could make it. A few pop-top cans go into the basket as well, items that most people would prefer to heat up before eating but which she knows are perfectly acceptable without doing so. There's no telling what the days ahead will bring them.
