Meanwhile, Bobbi felt like the scum of the earth. Luke was right about Parker, she knew he was. But she knew there was real value in taking a moment to listen when you had someone willing to open up and share a part of themselves. It wouldn't change his future, but it changed who Parker was while he was in the City. Bobbi had to hope that it did, anyway.

She'd been walking this line a lot though, especially recently. Perhaps she was becoming blind to her surroundings. Maybe she was too close to the situation for her own good. After all, here she was, sneaking over to Electro's apartment when she ought to be at the mansion, playing the part laid out for her. She should be apologizing to Luke, and probably to Peter too. She should be thinking about Clint and how much she missed him. She should not be knocking on the door marked 206, holding her breath while she waited for an answer.

God, she was such an idiot.

The door opened quickly, Electro's tattooed face peeking out into the hallway. His jaw was set in a scowl, though he was happy to see her -- his eyes said that much. He pulled the door open, letting her into the dark room. He snapped his fingers to turn the lights on.

"I didn't think you'd really come," he admitted, looking at her, looking away, and biting his lip. "How's uh... your friend. Doing."

He didn't care how Misty was doing, but he figured he probably was supposed to ask.

Bobbi felt herself scowl back at him, though it really was for show and was replaced by something of a smile once she was in his apartment with the door closed behind her. What a perplexing feeling, the need to smile and frown at once. She probably looked like she was in pain or something. It was probably just her conscience kicking in and reminding her that she was being incredibly stupid.

"Hey, I said I'd come, didn't I?" She quirked a brow as she looked around the place. She wasn't sure what she should have expected, but it didn't seem so bad. "You mean Misty? She's strong. She'll be okay."

Truth be told, Bobbi wasn't sure she wanted to speculate on Misty. Bobbi felt awful after the lecture they'd both gotten from Luke, she didn't want to think about how Misty was feeling.

"What about you?"

"Yeah," he said with a shrug, realizing he was still holding his unopened beer bottle. He set it down on the coffee table. "Dunno, figured you might have changed your mind or something. It happens."

Electro had turned off his communicator before he'd seen Luke Cage enter the picture, and probably for the best. He didn't like Luke Cage -- didn't like most of the New Avengers, to be perfectly honest, but Luke Cage was the invulnerable bulletproof guy who'd threatened him with a beatdown, which only put off Electro more. But he liked Bobbi, and he hoped she liked him back.

He was quiet for a moment. "... I'll be fine," he muttered, finally.
