[closed] I try not to hold on to what is gone

Who: Cullen Rutherford ([personal profile] morework) & [CLOSED to previous plotting]
Where: across Genosha, plus one day of Wonderland
When: 5/8-9/8
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Cullen's power is to nullify other powers. It should make him an asset to the human resistance, but the alliance is an uneasy one. His past with the anti-human task force is still too fresh in some people's memories. [Plotting comment.]
The Story:

6/8, Mutant District, A Bar
for Isabela ([personal profile] ivehadbetter)

[ Some people have yet to realise that his allegiance has changed. Others never even knew where it lay to begin with. As long as he's not a popular face of the human resistance (and he doubts he'll ever be as much) he can still do some good with a private recon mission or two, see if he can't ferret out useful information.

Even if it means unhappily nursing one drink at a dive bar all evening.

7/8, Human District, A Coffee Shop
for Bethany Hawke ([personal profile] ladysunshines) & Bonnie Bennet ([personal profile] goeth)

[ Archipelago south of Genosha, ten letters. Cullen writes 'SEYCHELLES' into the crossword, and takes a sip of his coffee. Almost cold. He checks his watch. The seats near him are still empty.

This is what their uneasy allegiance looks like, on most days. He goes to the same café, and plays the loyal customer. Stays there with his paper and his coffee, for one hour. If they have a job that needs doing, someone will join him, and let him know. If not, the seats stay empty. He doesn't get to see their faces, let alone their hideout. He thinks he could do more if-- He can't blame them for their reservations.

'ARMOIRE', he writes into the last margins, and closes the paper. Four minutes left to go. They've cut it close before. He doesn't expect an off day in times like these. Though if it was, maybe he could see Hawke again, in the evening. Cullen wonders if he should add time, just this once, have another coffee.

That's when he hears the commotion around the corner. A sound he can't quite parse yet, but he doesn't hesitate a second to run and investigate.

[She knows. In times like these, it's best not to draw too much attention to herself or her brother. Hawke could handle himself, certainly, but there had been talk more than once about what would happen if he became too troublesome.

She cannot, will not, put him in that position.

At his comment about the cafe, she manages a small smile.]


Are they still trying to insist that the humans built some sort of earthquake machine and knocked the place down?

[She's still surprised at what people will believe when it's easier than going against the norm.]
