Jessica Drew floated up above Madripoor, keeping her eyes wide open. Her mind was racing through possibilities as well as flashing back to the poker game where she and Sonique had left Nathan Grey to do his thing
( Read more... )
Sonique shakes her head, but looks around carefully. So much of this world is still strange and unfamiliar to her. So many things look out of place to her, but are taken for granted by those around her, even Nate.
Jessica sighs. "I didn't think so," she says, darting around, doing a full sweep.
Yep. Nothing.
She takes in a deep breath, crosses her arms, and thinks.
If the Iron Man thing at the game wasn't really Iron Man...and if it seemed like no one was inside it...then did that mean that someone was controlling the suit from somewhere? Like, say, within a few miles of where the game was?
She voiced her thoughts to Sonique, a little worried at the lost expression on the woman's face.
"You mean that suit's just some sort of ... remote-controlled toy?" asks Sonique. "Could it be a robot? That Stark guy seems like someone who'd build a robot and make people think it was human."
"That Stark guy seems like a bit of a freak," Spider-Woman muttered underneath her breath. "But yeah, that's where I'm going with this. Think about it. The guy's clearly rich enough to be able to afford something like that. And shady enough too."
Iron Man isn't hard to find if someone is someone was trying to sense a disturbance. There are gunshots coming from a warehouse on the docks. Not all that unusual, but the metal pinging noise the bullets make as they are reflected off the armor is somewhat distinctive.
Jessica nods, already in the sky and heading towards the direction. She's fast in spite of the fact that the wind is blowing against her. Her hands glow with a soft, yellowish-green glow as she sees Iron Man fighting a couple of thugs.
Unsure if he's the real thing or not, Jessica joins the little fight, taking out one of Stark's adversaries.
Oh great...Don't they have a poker game to lose? He's had the damn LMD on auto too long. It might have lost the game for him already.
"Please take cover citizen!" Knowing full well the Spiderwoman just won't. He's hoping it ruffles her feathers enough to buy him a second to look back at the poker match.
