Suspiciously Quiet

[house-of-mystiq.livejournal.com]

The carnage in the hotel ballroom disappears in a gut wrenching wave of nausea and blurryness. When she can see again, she's on her knees, surrounded by her fellow Exiles.

Raven braces herself for the worst. Zombies roaming the streets, the sun blotted out by swarms of locusts, a world where every restaurant is non-smoking. She opens her eyes and sees...a suburban strip mall.

A Best Buy anchors one end. The other end is held down by a Dick's Sporting Goods. In between, there are a couple of ethnic restaurants, some clothing stores, and, to her immense relief, a Cox Smoker's Outlet.

"Sounds like a plan," he grins, clapping her on the shoulder. He glances at the two shapeshifters with a wink. "And just keep that in mind next time one of them hugs you."

"Yeah." she adds, looking at the two. "Which is among any number of reasons I avoid just that." she mutters quietly.

"Okay. Sarah, go shopping. Bucky, give her your sizes and let her dress you, and you can take Roxie back to the hotel on that bike - your name is Jordan Boone when you check in. TJ, Raven, Morph and I will get a bunch of food and as much info about this place as we can. We'll meet back in the rooms in half an hour."

"Sounds like a plan." Patriot grabs Roxie and heads off on her bike.
