Giving the Devil His Due (tag Hawkeye

Mar 08, 2006 14:03

The Devil's Due took up the first floor of an older building just on the edge of Mutant Town. The building had been there since the early 1920s, and the ice cream parlor had been there since 1973. The 12 floors above the ice cream parlor were apartments that nobody officially rented ( Read more... )

Jonothan listened with half an ear to the conversations going on around him, and considered his options. He made a few decisions as he thought. One of them was that he was bloody well not getting involved with the Avengers any more than he had to. The other was that it might be a good idea to minimalize the chaos by getting those of were reletivly uninjured and not really all that involved out of there.

Say, luv, Jono said, putting his hand back on Sofia's shoulder. It occurse to me that maybe, since you don't seem to badly hurt, that it might be a plan for someone to get you back home before we all get swept up in the general insanity that is the Avengers?

Sofia's mind was preoccupied with trying to process all the conversations around her, and it was doing a fairly good job at it too until Jono's voice interrupted her train of thought. She jumped slightly, then turned her head to look up at the older mutant next to her. That's right! She had been so preoccupied with everything here she failed to realize her further absence would cause Ms. Collins to worry. What time was it anyway?

"That is a good idea," she agreed. "I must get back to Salem Center before Ms. Collins worries."

Need a lift? Ain't a Blackbird, but I've got a car and I'm not due at the station for another few hours, Jono said, heading for the door. Penance trailed after him, a silent red and black shadow. I'm Jono, and the gel's Penny.

Eliza raised her head as she saw Jono leading Sofia towards the door and finally left of her merceless teasing of Billy. She darted out of the booth and very, very briefly touched the girl's arm. "I wanted to say thanks," Eliza said, drawing her hand back quickly. "For. Y'know. Trying to help me. If you're ever around again, I'll... I dunno. Give you free ice cream or something." She hesistated. "Didn't catch your name, mystery girl."

"I don't mind the car. We never got to go on the Blackbird anyway." Sofia replied, glancing back one last time before following Jono.

Sofia jumped for the second time when she felt some touch her arm. When she saw that it had been Eliza, she was even more startled. Didn't touching others hurt her? Before she could question her actions, Eliza continued with her thanks.

"I'm just glad that you are ok now," Sofia said with a smile. "And I am Sofia. Sofia Mantega. Hopefully I can stop by sometime, it would be nice to see you and your friends again." She chuckled some, "And, of course, ice cream is always a plus."

She looked back at Jono and Penny who were waiting for her at the door. "I have to go. Thank you all for the help." At that, she turned from the group and heading out of the shop with the two mutants.
