[For Pietro?]Forge was raised on the reservation, in this present mockery of old traditions, where they are all neither one thing nor another; he understands a life lived on the edges of things, in the between places, how the natural and the unnatural can -- must! -- intersect at the boundaries, forcing adaptation, evolution.

Running in the desert is never fun. It's hot, sand gets into your clothes, and for a speed mutant, it meant that his trail was visible to all as the sand flew up into the air like a dust cloud.

Pietro had to stop though because it was hot and he needed to get a drink of water, so he went looking for anyone who might be able to provide it to him.

Even in the shade, even with the breeze coming off the gulf, it's close to thirty degrees here. Maybe a mile out from the more modern town, where forts a thousand years old poke up smoothly through the sand, a small souk comes together; and it's here that Forge and Clarice, buying food and drink first spot the trail. Clarice immediately ducks back, but Forge stares out, ocular implant working to pick the running blur out of the trailing clouds. He grins, waving his arms and yelling.

Pietro skidded to a stop as he heard his name. It wasn't Mike, which was a disappointment. He had been hoping to find his friend quickly and get him back to Emma and Scott for help.

"I didn't know you were out this way, Forge." He shook the sand out of his white hair a moment, then noticed the pair of eyes hiding behind his back.

"Hello," he said softly, his soft daddy voice slipping easily in to ease the fear of the girl.

"I'm helping with the project too," Forge explained, turning to nudge Clarice forward a little. "This is Quicksilver, Clarice; he's Magneto's son. He's with us."

"Hello," Clarice said in a very small voice.

"Clarice is a little shy," Forge added, smiling affectionately at her. "She can kick ass with the best of them, though."
