[ So Julian's been gone somewhere close to a week. He finds that out from a newspaper stand. For him it's been a hell of a lot longer than a week, and his head is spinning now. Memories he hadn't known were there are rising to the surface, fitting back into place. Friends, enemies, people from other worlds. Events he'd thought he'd never forget. Skrulls, Vulcanus.

God, this is weird.

And last time he'd been here, he hadn't looked like this.

He's walking through the City, metal hands concealed in his pockets. Every part of this is a mess. His powers are holding the phone to his ear, and there's no video.

He sounds like he's bored. ]

This place has good timing. I was almost in math class.

So I'm back. You can all stop missing me now. Since nothing's in pieces I'm gonna guess no one tried to destroy the place this week. Did I miss anything worth telling?

A park. [ Because there would be less risk of her throwing hot coffee on him there. That, and being in a crowd still made him wary of people. They could keep their eyes to themselves. ]

Yeah, that's good for me. How long will you be?

[wind_dancer]

I'll be at the park in fifteen minutes. [Sofia sends him the directions to the park, in a quieter area of the City.]

I'll wait there as long as it takes for you to show up Julian.

[hellionated]

I'll be there.

[ He sounds annoyed. He's not. He just hates all of this. ]

I won't be long.
