Times Square

[marvel-citizens.livejournal.com]

In a tired part of the city
Hiding from the fast talk
Watch 'Don't walk' to 'Walk'
Easy when you're dreaming
Staring at the movies
Standing in a circle,
Laughing at the wrong time.

If alcohol could take me there.
I'd take a shot a minute
And be there by the hour.

Take a walk around Times Square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the TV.

By day, the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue dazzles all the senses. By night, the senses are electrified. Anything could happen between Sixth and Eighth Avenues, from West 40th to West 53rd.

"Frankly... I could use some information about this world. And the clue I've been given is pretty obscure... we apparently need to stop a couple people from having sex. Something about 'two fatal loins uniting' causing the end of the world." He rolls his eyes. "Yeah, I know, I know. It's pretty goofy." He shrugs. "Plus, I could use some help. If you've got any ideas for some support or backup, we could use it."

"Well," Sean starts. "In this city, biggest thorn in my side are the Lensherrs. They keep up a good appearance, sure, but they're criminals none the less. Can't get any charges to stick to 'em though. They got money, power and friends in high and low places."

He lit a cigarette and took a long draw of smoke before continuing.

"The Summers though, they've been makin' a name for themselves too. Don't know much about 'em, 'cept they're dangerous. I figure the Lensherrs, they'll get taken down by the feds eventually... the Summers clan though? They got more up their sleeve, by the sounds o'things."

He shakes his head, sadly, flicking his cigarette clear of ashes, "now they've got the Lensherr girl, Lorna, set up to marry on o'the Summers boys. Nothin' good's gonna come out o'that business deal, lemme tell ye. I might as well retire after the vows are spoken; there'll be no place in this town for the law when those two families are one."

"Who's trustworthy in this town I can talk to about this?"

"I hate to say it, but the Lensherrs have paid off most of my collegues. At least any of them with any real influence. The Avengers are the only force in this town enforcin' the law. I can try an' get you in touch with them," Cassidy offers.

Patriot nods. "I think I can work with a group calling themselves the Avengers."
