A Bitter Pill

He couldn't find Rachel Summers. Granted, he hasn't been able to get in touch with her for a while, but this was the first time he had made an actual effort to look for her

Sonique takes his hand and rests her head against his shoulder. It's going to be okay. Really. Just you and me. We can manage.

[the_new_shaman]

She'll feel him squeeze her a little tighter, hold her a little closer.

~All I want is to be with you, and for us to be happy. Am I asking for too much?~

[red_sonique]

It's such a little thing, you'd think. So many of the people here are so rich. Are they all greedy, too?

[the_new_shaman]

Was he the one being greedy?

~Cable won't let up. We'll have to figure out some way to get him off our backs for good.~

Spider-Man's not too hard to find, poised on a rooftop, ready to begin a patrol of the city.

Some faint tingle in his head causes him to look towards his oncoming guest.

"...Nate?"

[the_new_shaman]

Yep, it's Nate, and he has company, who may at least look familiar to Spider-Man.

As for Nate himself, he looked more than a little ragged. He hadn't bothered to clean up after his recent scuffle with Cable and crew. That, combined with flying halfway around the world, left him weary, and it showed.

He landed softly on the roof, and set down Terry.

"Spidey..." Yes, he has some respect for the secret identity thing.

"You look like hell. What happened? Sentinel attack? Apocalypse trying to take over the world? .. Soccer game?"

There's a glance to Nate's travelling companion.

"Siryn, right? Nice to see you again."

[the_new_shaman]

"She's not Siryn. She goes by the name of Sonique, actually." He wouldn't need his telepathy to know Pete is going to have questions about that.

"She's an alternate. Its a long story. A really long story." Speaking of which...

"You got a few minutes?"
