A bright pink light spread over the rooftops as a hole seemed to open in the air. Through it, a young woman dropped to the roof and she looked around, staring for a few moments as she pulled her hood over her head to hide her ears. Slowly, she walked to the edge of the roof and looked down, staring at the streets below in silence. Her eyes glowed softly as she watched what few people there were outside tonight.
Gorgon had been urging her for so long to go out and experience the world, but she'd never managed to get up the courage to do so. But he'd been injured recently and was recuperating. As a result, she wanted to show him that she had the courage to leave the tunnels. So she was taking it slow, starting with just standing on the roof. As she stood, she didn't notice as someone moved up behind her.

Well not up. More like landed down beside her. In his read and blues, Spider Man just stood there looking kind of... shocked...
"Whoa...." he blinked a few times, "What are you?"
He meant no disrespect. She's just not something he expected to see. Some kind of elf chick, with violet colors. "Tolkien be damned, now that's something to ponder." Most definately, the somewhat smart-talking crimefighter looker at her a little cockeyed, she's sort of well... really well... definately high on the babe-o-meter.

A voice sounded from behind her and she jumped, yelping as she spun around and grabbed the edge, trying to keep from falling. She grabbed one of the javelins from her hip holster and it started glowing as she held it up, but her hand was visibly shaking as she crouched by the wall. She had no idea who this guy was or what he was and she just didn't know how to react. It was obvious that she wasn't intending to attack him, she was just afraid. Her eyes glowed brightly with her fear and her power as she stared at him, trembling. After a few moments, she swallowed and managed to speak.
"Wh-who are you?"

"I'm the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man." A smile she can not see, he posed with a thumbs up each hand. "Hey, don't be too upset. I know I'm not as attractive with the mask on. Yet don't fright. I'm still one lucky guy."
Taking a moment to look her over again. He realized she's another Mutant. That ruined his mood.... "You shouldn't be out. After the rampage, attacks on mutants have increased. If you're not careful you could get seriously hurt." Then, he thought, "What about if I escort you home? As a good neighbor should in dangerous parts of town."

She watched him warily, her hand shaking as she held the javelin. Even during the rampage, she hadn't been this afraid. Since Gorgon had been hurt, she was more afraid than ever of humans. And just because this guy hadn't attacked her yet, that didn't mean he wouldn't at all. He told her not to be upset, but she didn't respond, just holding the weapon. He started to caution her about being out and she looked over her shoulder at the city behind her, looking back up at him as he offered to escort her. Swallowing a little, she took a shaky breath before speaking.
"I don't need an escort... I don't walk home. W-what are you?"
She stared at him as she tried to figure out what he was, what his deal was, she came to the surface so rarely that she knew next to nothing about the heroes up in the world.

She was really scared. Damn... but a nod, he told her. "I'm a hero, sorta. Well they say a viggilantee. Yet really I'm just a guy that, has some powers. Puts on a funny suit." tugging his shirt to that. "Then tries to help the people. Even when they don't want my help. Because, thats my choice."
Looking down he sighed. "Hey, I don't mind you being upset. Yet, you think you could... I don't know.... relax? I'm not going to hurt you. See?"
Stepping back. He said, "I'll even give you as far a birth as you like. You want me to give you some room. I will. My, name is Spiderman, and if you'd mind, what's your name?"
He shrugs, "Violet? The Violet Vixen? Ooh! I know, Elflady!" A funny attempt, to make some humor. "I got it, Legolas! No, better! LegoLass!"

She listened to his explanation of who he was and frowned a little, but didn't make any kind of move to either attack or run away. She just wasn't sure about him. Then he asked her to relax and she frowned, then slowly lowered the javelin, powering down and putting it back in the quiver on her leg. She slowly stood, watching as he backed away from her. He was doing his best to be good for her. He introduced himself and asked her name. She lowered her head a little, at first not wanting to tell him. Then he started guessing and she looked up in confusion. She wasn't sure what most of those things were. Then he came to Legolas and now she was thoroughly confused. She shook her head a little, trying to clear her confusion.
"N-no... My name is Blink."

"Ah-ha! Blink!" To which, he did. Opening his eyes he smiled saying. "Well, I'm lucky."
As if to be confusing. He told her, "Because, you're still here. I blinked, but you're still there." Smirking he leaned back on the side of the buildin'g overhang. "I mean, you're kind of nice. Tell me, what is it you're doing up here all alone? Don't you have a friend, boyfriend or something? To keep you company when you're out and about?"
He wasn't intending to put the moves on her. Yet, he was trying to be a little more himself. As Spiderman he's free to try and be everything, Peter Parker wasn't. A shrug and he then asked, "What about we take in a movie? Hmm?" Something to kill the time.

She watched him for a few moments, frowning as he started talking, making a turn of phrase with her name and starting to hit on her. She moved away from him and watched him, a confused look on her face. He started asking about a boyfriend, someone to keep her company. She backed away from him, seriously creeped out now. He asked about a movie and she blinked a little. She knew what movies were, of course, but she'd never actually had the courage to go to one.
"N-no..."
She glanced around, then back at him, just not sure what to say. This guy was so... weird. This was starting to be enough to convince her to stay in the sewers for the rest of her life.

"Okay...." he got the idea. A rub of his neck, he asks, "Uh... well, what do you want to do? I mean, I don't know... here... uh..."
He was sure she's got to like to do, oh! "What do you like to do Blink? Anything, at all?"

She looked over at him, watching as he started trying to think of something they could do. She raised an eyebrow and watched as he asked her what she wanted to do. She lowered her head a little in thought.
"I... Didn't really think of anything to do. I was just trying to get up the courage to go out into public."
She looked out over the city, then back over at him.
"I've never really been out on my own. I've always come out with my father. He's always telling me I should come out on my own, but I've never gotten the courage to."

"Oh... well... uh...." He sighed, damn that's... tough... just then he turned his head around. Now New York had some perks. A smirk and he ruffled into his pants. "Hold on..."
After he had the cash. He bent over, and shot his webbing. Suddenly snagging from a cart vendor some fresh chili dogs. Then shooting a ball of cash with his webbing, to the spot he took them from.
Turning around he bent forward, stretching out an arm.
"Here! Consider this the first taste of being in the public view. A chili dog, with my own guarantee it's the best you can get." Really, it smelled delicious. Not to mention, it's FRESH. Morlocks hardly ever ate fresh...

"Yeah..."
She looked at the roof, then glanced over as he fished in his pocket for some money. Frowning a little, he watched him get the chili dogs. She frowned a little as he offered it to her, reluctantly reaching out and taking it. She picked some of the webbing out of the dog and smelled it curiously. After a moment, she took a tentative bite, then smiled a bit. It was like nothing else she'd ever tasted. Looking over at him, she smiled at him.
"It's good. What's in it?"
She looked at it curiously, pushing some of the toppings around as she inspected it.

"NOT a clue... some think maybe pig, ox and rat... but I just say, it tastes good? Don't ask." He smirked, a joke. Yet she might actually take it true so, "I don't really think it has anything like rat. I just mean, it's a joke here... wow, it's funny. I don't know if I can say jokes like that to you or not."
Turning to the corner he sat down. Sighing a little. "So tell me, Blink? If you're so scared why do you really want to be out here? Especially when a friend was hurt here. It'd be easier to stay where you were until the mutant argumnets cool down. After all, mutants are really being... bullied right now." In truth, it made him realize. He needed to be careful. People like her was in lots of danger now.

She looked over and listened to him as he named what he thought was in the dog. She looked back down at the dog with a pause. Then he started trying to explain what he meant. She looked over at him and gave a weak chuckle, looking back down and taking another bite. Sighing, she closed her eyes, enjoying the taste of the fresh food. He asked why she was outside and she lowered her head, staring for a few moments at the food.
"I want to be brave. My whole life, I've hidden behind my portals. I've run every time something frightens me. I just want to prove that I can do something on my own for once. Every time I've come to the surface, it's been with my father. My whole life, he's been telling me I just have to find the courage... but I just can't go down there. I just can't."
She closed her eyes, sighing. After a few moments, she opened her eyes and looked over at him.
"It's the same reason why you wear that mask while at the same time you save people's lives. You want to be a part of them. But if they knew who and what you are, they'd turn on you. So you hide your face, wear patriotic colors, and now you're a hero. Something to be revered. They just see me as a freak, something to be feared. If it was up to me, I'd stay in the sewers with my family."
She looked back down at the street. Her tone showed she didn't think of herself as a freak. She liked the way she was. She liked being a Mutant, she liked having power. But on top of that, she hated being stuck in the dark her whole life.
