No Good at this Detective Thing

[rogue-starsr.livejournal.com]

Sarah has returned to the hotel room with a freshly bought notebook and pens. As annoying as writing with one hand is, she's doing her best to piece what they know together and make some sense of it all.
Fighting giant robots in an endless guerilla war? Sure.
Take on the insane sorceror supreme of some insane dimension? Great.
Fight a vampire queen over a savaged landscape? Can do.
Battle not one, but two of the Hulk's most powerful incarnations? Best not repeated, but done without hesitation.

Play amateur detective? She's way out of her depth.

She's jotted down that she knows Peter was on the mob beat.
She notes that he was roughed up badly, literally beaten to death... that takes some doing.
She notes what she knows of the Lensherrs and Summers -
Lensherrs: conservative. Absorbed the Inhumans media empire. Known members - Magneto, Quicksilver, Crystal... presumably Polaris and/or Scarlet Witch. Alleged Mobsters with great lawyers.
Summers: aggressive business people. Very different style than Lensherrs. High tech profile. Known members - presumably Cyclops and Havok. Others?

After that she starts drawing a blank. Her notes getting a little more haphazard.

Families considering a merger. Mention of other parties who might be opposed to the deal?
Who else is involved?
Major figures in other worlds... Xavier, Forge, Angel, Storm, Jean Grey?
Any remaining Inhumans?

Then she tosses it onto the table, glancing at it in frustration now and then.

"Which brings me no closer to any fatal loins or Peter's killer." she sighs.

Morph sets the other parcels on the table.

"One more thing. Thanks to knowing Peter's favorite spots around town, I checked out a few - and found caches he probably kept for emergency purposes. We've got some prepaid cellphones here, first aid kits, cash, flashlights, and miscellaneous."

"I used a little of the money to sit on a poker game, and got enough extra to buy Irving some fun stuff. Aside from the clothes and toys, there're some crayons in the bag, and Buzz Spaceman coloring books."

"I'm taking one of his spare cameras and some film, along with a spare pair of webshooters and fluid cartridges. I'm also going to pick up a tape recorder and some batteries. Might come in handy.."

"All good thoughts. Just be careful. There's some major players that should be involved in all this we haven't seen yet. Otherwise, I've talked to Kat Farell with the Bugle, so she may call at some point."

"Don't worry, they can't hurt me..." Morph grins. "I'm the hero."
