The Perk, Sunday afternoon

Flash had just arrived in town a little bit ago and he already seemed a little annoyed about something. "Kiernan warns me about weird stuff, but not about stairs. That's helpful," he muttered as he rolled up to the counter to order a coffee.

Once he got past his grumbling, he had to admit that Fandom seemed nice. Quiet, so far. Smaller than he expected, though. Not that it was a complaint. That meant that if everything went FUBAR, at least it would probably be manageable.

After the barista handed his coffee over, Flash rolled to a table and looked out the window to people-watch while he went over his game plan:

Find a place to stay for a few days. Figure out who knows something about powerful magic. See if they can find and perform some kind of spell to remove a Hellmark placed on him by one of the most powerful devils around.

Simple, right? Sure it was! At least that's what Flash was going to keep telling himself. And hey, this coffee was pretty good. Things were looking up at the moment!

[OOC: New guy in town! Post is open, naturally.]

"I really wish I didn't have that nerd friend so I could just write you off as crazy," Flash decided.

"Who's your nerd friend?" she asked. "Just in case I know them. Coincidences abound here."

"Peter Parker?" Flash said. "You might have heard of him if you follow science news. He's a big shot over at Horizon Labs these days."
throughaphase: (neutral listening)

"I think I know the name," she said thoughtfully. "I actually should be following science news more."

"He also took pictures of Spider-Man for the Bugle for about a decade," Flash said. "Kind of a weird career choice for he smartest person I've ever met, but he figured the science thing out eventually."
throughaphase: (lounging)

"We all have our things," Kitty said. "But hey, that's probably where I know his name from instead of the science stuff, so."

"Probably," Flash said. "And don't get me wrong, I'm the biggest Spidey fan you'll ever find, so I'm not complaining about the photos. But everyone who's ever met him knew he was eventually going to do something way bigger than that. It just took him a while to get there."
throughaphase: (being talked to)

"Big on superheroes, or just Spider-Man?" Kitty asked, figuring it was better to know that now, all things considering.

"Spidey's the best, but I really respect most of them. I mean, I served two tours partially because of Captain America," Flash said. "Anyone who saves the world all the time is okay by me."
throughaphase: (good with this)

"And anyone who serves two tours because of Captain America is okay by me." Seriously , respect, dude.
