Spiderman seemed to understand. Jumping next to her, maybe scaring her. He sat bent on the edge of the roof. "I got what you're saying. I mean, sure I wear the mask and all. Yet the people don't really know me. It's the Spiderman that saves the day. Not the man, wearing the costume." A smile, he sighed. "Hell, I try my best to work things out. Yet when can I really be there for people it makes a difference. They are just as scared you know?"
In fact he smirked. "Hell I'm scared. I go out, fight and could be killed. Or what if they found out who I am? I worry about lots of things. I'm scared about everything. But, you know. It's okay to be scared. Especially about being different. Because everyone's different. Everyone's got secrets. You just have to take a chance."
Just then he wondered, "Hey... you want to see the city, right? Your portals are neat but.... how about, I show you the city how I see it?" Cockily, he winks, "Come on, I promise. It's a lot of fun. You just have to hold on tight okay?"

She listened silently to him, looking over as he spoke. She was glad he was taking it so well. Most people would take that as condescending. She looked over and smiled, listening to him. She nodded and closed her eyes, finishing her chili dog and dropping the wrapper in a portal that sent it to the garbage dump.
"I just wish I didn't have to be afraid of them. I never did anything to anyone and they treat me like a monster."
She sighed and stared at the city ahead of them, watching it thoughtfully. Then he offered to show her the city and she looked over in surprise, blinking a little. She took a couple steps away from him.
"H-hold on? What do you mean..."

"What do I mean?" He smirked. "Well... this...."
He didn't give her warning. Instead... he grabbed her waist and leapt off the roof. Suddenly, a stray flip of the wrist and they swung to the next lot of houses. He had to hold onto her so he rose to the top of the webbing, let go and shot another as they fell. Otherwise, if she held on he can move them a little less troubling.
"You hold onto me tight enough. I can swing us a little faster, and safer!" He chuckled, "The city just flies by below. You can see everything, and better you can be a part of it without it knowing. Seeing the people, the lights." He landed on a wall, where he pinned her and inside there was a man and woman slowly kissing together.
Spiderman coughed uneasily, "Uhhh... the private moments, sometimes too." He gave her the moment to hold onto his neck. "You, may want to grab on."

She frowned at first, but as he grabbed her, her eyes widened and she let out a scream, wrapping her arms around him and clinging as he swung through the city. She buried her head in his shoulder, trembling in fear as they went. They finally landed on the side of the building and she reached over, grabbing the window sill. Looking over at him as they sat there, she glanced in the window, but didn't pay any attention to it.
Instead, she closed her eyes, opened a portal beneath them, and pushed away from the wall, sending them both falling into the opening. They fell through and landed on top of the building they'd been latched to. Sitting up, she moved away a bit and looked down before she reached out and slapped him.
"Don't ever do that again!"

Spiderman held his face.... shocked. AFTER the shock of the portal and her pushing him into it. Looking at her he stood and said, "What the.... you're trying too hard..." he narrowed his eyes to her. "You need to live for the moment more, Blink. Don't be driven to plans, and to think everything out. You're still young you should try and just enjoy life a little. Let the world's rhythm take you."
As nice that may sound. He never thought about this as Parker. He soon realized, he tried so much as Spiderman... it's like being someone else. Looking down he shook his head. "I promise, I wouldn't let you get hurt. So why be upset? You just are angry because you have no control. Like the rest of us. Yet you need to make sure even when you are not in control, you are still able to experience."

Taking a few steps away from him, she wrapped her arms around herself and shivered slightly as he stood there in shock. She took a deep, steady breath and closed her eyes, calming herself. Then he started talking and she turned around, looking over at him. He started lecturing her about life and what she should do and she closed her eyes in frustration. Then came the speech about why she was upset and she turned to him, watching with an annoyed expression on her face. When he finished, she stood for a moment before speaking.
"Don't you dare think you know me. I'm not angry because I didn't have control. I'm angry because a Surface Dweller that I just met grabbed me without warning or permission and started swinging through the air with me!"
She walked over to him, glaring daggers.
"I live life just fine in my home. I could go the rest of my life without coming up to the surface again and it'd be too soon. So stow your speeches and let me live how I want to live."

He stood there really shocked.... wow.... "I see..." Spider Man sighed, deeply.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I'll go..."
Turning, he was sure he needed to get out of here. He should have never took her like he did. Shaking his head, he told her. "I'm really sorry I..."
He was silent. He can't even believe he upset her so much. Perhaps she is better off down in the sewers?
Just then he asked, "If.... If it's possible, could I make this up to you? Maybe just talk. I was really trying to give you some memories, or you know a night you won't forget." Shrugging, "I suppose I sorta blew it. Web slinging is more my own pass time anyway so..." He wondered, wait... what if?
"What about your powers? Can you explain more how they work?" Both had powers. Perhaps he can break the ice just talking about them. Explaining his own with her own. A common ground.

She listened as he apologized, not answering as he said he should go. She would be perfectly alright with that. He came in here talking like he knew everything about her life. But he knew nothing about her and it became quickly evident. So now he was offering to leave and she nodded, watching as he turned. But then he turned back and started asking questions. She closed her eyes, sighing as he asked about her powers.
"I'm not in the habit of describing what I can do. If you don't mind, I'd like to be alone."
She turned and started walking, hoping that was enough of a not so subtle hint that she didn't want him around. She was close to just refusing to go to the surface at all from now on and just remain in the sewers with the Morlocks.

Spiderman took the hint... leaving... sadly though he felt her really upset her.
Just then Blink heard something, a roar. Which she knew. It was in her dreams, her memories. It was HIS roar. Victor's.... after all this time. She knew it anywhere. It was somewhere nearby too.
Victor.... Victor was here.

She watched as Spider Man left and sighed, closing her eyes in relief. She opened a portal to home, but then she heard something that made her spin around in shock. It was him... The one who'd saved her life when she was a child. Closing the portal, she started running, jumping through portals when she needed to and before long, she stood on the roof overlooking the street where the roar had come from. She gripped the edge of the building, straining to try and see him.

Sabretooth leapt suddenly onto the same roof. He had a large dart in his shoulder... and he snarled running past Blink. Ripping that from his arm and trying to get out of the area. When his nose caught something. A smell.... familiar one at that.
Stopping, he turned to see her. His eyes were wide. That's... that kid. "Clarice?"
When he fell to a knee. He shook his head. "Mmm.... damn, I gotta get back to...." He growled to the sound of something hovering behind her. Blink, turned to see men on strange boards. They hover somewhat and raising rifles they asked someone for 'permission to fire'.
Sabretooth didn't wait for permission for anything. Roaring loudly he charged forward and jumped one of the men, him screaming as he then snapped his neck before jumping for the next one.
Another raised his rifle aiming at Sabretooth. This was as he gained his sights he aimed for the mutant's back.

She jumped back as a shape hurtled past her and she turned, staring as she saw that man... the one from her dreams. He really was real. And he even said her name, causing a small smile to cross her lips.
"Sabber..."
Before she could say anymore, she heard the sound of something behind her and she turned, seeing men aiming rifles at Sabretooth. She watched as he leaped over the edge of the building and started taking guys out, but the last one was taking an opportunity she could not allow. Her eyes glowed brightly with her anger and she grabbed a javelin, charging it up and throwing it at the man. In a bright flash, he was gone. His weapon fell from the air, hurtling towards the ground, its holder gone forever. Looking over, she watched Sabretooth as he finished off the others, then returned to the roof. Clarice stood for a moment, then rushed forward and wrapped her arms around him, holding him close.

Sabretooth stood there after the fight. He still didn't believe it... but, as she hugged him.
He stood there a bit shocked. Huh... kid's still got the memory of him. A smirk and he slowly hugged her back. "Hey..." he said. First in his long life he didn't have a lot to say. Still, he shrugged, "You mind not doing that? It makes me look soft or something." Still, he pats her head. Not really aware she's been looking for him all this damn time. He just thought it was a fortunate fact seeing her. When she let go. He turned. "It's good seeing you kid. I better get moving before more of them show.... ohhh...."
Suddenly, he faltered again. "Crap... adrenaline's messed up, I feel all screwy. That stuff they shot me with was pretty high dosage..."

She smiled as he hugged her back, her eyes closing happily. Then he asked her not to and she laughed, stepping back a little and looking up at him with a smile.
"Oh no, I've found you now, I'm not letting you go again."
She took her arms from around him, but held onto his arm, almost afraid that if she let go of him, he'd vanish. If this was a dream, she wanted it to last. Then he started as though he wanted to leave and she frowned, holding his arm and supporting him as he faltered.
"I know a safe place. Hold onto me."
She held his arm gently and a portal opened beneath them. She lowered them in slowly and they landed in the Morlock Tunnels. She'd taken them to the room she and Gorgon shared and as she held him, she guided him to her bed and sat him down, sitting next to him. Finally, she could ask the questions that had been burning in her mind for years. But as she asked them, she found her eyes welling up with tears. She found she was afraid of the answer, afraid that he didn't want her and would be angry that she'd been searching for him... all these fears, but she had to know the answer.
"Where have you been? Why did you leave me?"

Tired and drugged. Sabretooth followed her to a bed where he lay. Still dazed he groaned as she tried to learn something. Yet really he didn't understand much... he did however get the impression it's about his leaving.
He told her simply. As he held his head and laid there. "Ahh.... I'm a mercenary. I can't chance something happening to you. Doing my kind of work." He smirked, "And I left you with a good orphanage. They should have taken good care of you. I sent money, I have been.... they should give it to you soon... when you're 18.... heh, how old are you now kid?"
He's half in and out. Still, it's a shock to say the least. The smells in the air. "This place has turned to shit...." He believed it was the orphanage. He knew not that this, was in fact not the same.
