Pat looked around the main room, taking in the dented ceiling, the wallpaper falling off in long strips and old furniture. He looked at Terry and Abby. "I think Vance oversold this place, I expected something a little less... run down."
"Agreed."
"It's a dump."
"Secret pact right now not to tell Vance his favourite haunt sucks ass?" suggested Pat with a grin. "He did mention Thrash approved of us using it as our base if we wanted. Do we want?"
"I guess we could fix it up," said Abby doubtfully. "Maybe some fresh paint?"
"I slept in worse when I was on the road," added Terry, falling onto the sofa with a happy sigh. "All we need is a big screen tv and pizza." Something poked him in the back and he reached under the cushion to find an old remote control. He tapped it lightly when it didn't work the first time he tried it. "Needs batteries."
"Needs a television," muttered Abby.
A section of the wall opened up revealing an enormous screen that switched on automatically, the channel set to a hockey game.
"Try another channel." Pat sat cross-legged in front of the television.
It flicked to old footage of the New Warriors in a training session. They all winced as Speedball bounced off Nova and hit Namorita like a freight train, she took down Firestar and Marvel Boy with her flailing limbs before they hit the wall hard enough to leave three sizable dents. The training session descended into a lengthy argument with a lot of limping, cursing and gesturing.
"I take it all back." Abby sat down next to Pat. "This place is great."
