Things ain't right no more.

Jul 19, 2010 15:06

Benjamin Jacob Grimm has been walking the streets of this humongous city for days now, after popping up here outta nowhere. He could've sworn he was in Philadelphia, but the place never seemed to turn into South Jersey no matter how far he went. It's all a big flippin' town now. Urban sprawl like nobody's ever seen ( Read more... )

Nobody's touched his room, except for some light dusting here and there. He won't have long to admire it, since Roberta has been instructed to notify the master of the house when friends or family drop by.

"Ben."

Reed's at the door, grinning from ear to ear.

There's a little bit of a smirk on Ben's face at seeing his old friend, but first things first.

"What the hell's goin' on here, Stretcho? Hoboken's gone and New York and Philly are the same town! Giants-Eagles games are gonna be meaningless now!"

He chuckles, shaking his head.

"Leave it to you to see the hidden downsides I neglected to consider. Welcome home, old friend. We've got some catching up to do."

"I'll say," he rumbles, stepping in and making sure the place still looks like the place.

"Sup Rockhead. Good to see ya back." Spidey greeted.

That's unexpected.

"What are you doin' here, Webhead?"

"Wait, really, that's the kind of greeting I get?" Spidey replied good-naturedly, arms crossed.

"Well, being a member of the Defenders is technically my actual job now, and for lack of any other options at present the Baxter Building is our base," he explained.

His voice dropped to a whisper, and he leaned in closer to Ben, "Also, confidentially, I'm here to sneak from Johnny's secret soda stash before he gets back, because lord knows he doesn't need the extra caffeine."

"I just walked here from what used to be Philadelphia. I ain't exactly gonna be sociable until I get a Gino's Pizza in me," he returns, rubbing his head with his rocky palm and trying to get his bearings.

"I can open the lock to his fridge if you want, but you gotta tell me when this stopped being the Fantastic Four and started being a halfway house for homeless heroes."
