[ PRIVATE to NICK FURY and BOBBI MORSE ]

Hector Peck might be a dead end. I don't think he's involved at all with Vulcanus or that New Vesuvius city. He's just an editor for a newspaper here and keeps himself busy with that. Nothing out of the ordinary with his schedule or work.

[ /end private ]


[ When Gil speaks up, he sounds as if he's slightly congested. ]

I believe Raven has been ported out. If she had any previous or future engagements to attend to I'm sorry, but I don't think she'll be showing up. I haven't heard from or seen her around the house since before some of us were ported to New Vesuvius.

I'm not sure what to do yet about her belongings. It seems too soon to pack them away somewhere so they aren't lying around the place, doesn't it? A bit rude, too... [ He sighs. It's hard to finish cleaning the place when he's caught in a tiny dilemma like this!! ]

It's always going to be impossible to predict how long before people return. [ A beat. ] If they do.

[ Followed by another pause, as if he may add something to that thought. ]

Ah, never mind.

April!

[aggressiveapathy]

I'm sorry. All I hear is a dial tone.

[Hang up on her, huh.]

[invoking]

Don't speak to Mr. Nelson like that.

[aggressiveapathy]

[Beat]

Oh.

So.

You and older guys. Huh.

[invoking]

Would you knock it off already?!

[aggressiveapathy]

No. You're defending his honor.

[invoking]

It's understandable you're upset about your friends being ported out, but that doesn't mean you should take it out on Mr. Nelson who's done nothing wrong!

[aggressiveapathy]

I'm not upset. This is who I am. What kind of jerk doesn't even know that after...months. After that magical night.
