Los Angeles was the City of Angels, but Sersi was far from being an angel. There may have been one point in history where her people were mistaken for angels, but Sersi would never claim to be one or otherwise pretend. Angels seemed like the stuffy type and Sersi couldn't abide stuffy.

Sersi loved the lights and glitter of LA. It was her kind of town. So was New York, Tokyo, Paris and a few others, but each one had a special feel to it. LA was no different. The feel and energy of the city was like no other.

She had only come to town for a weekend, but now it had been six months. She just didn't see a reason to leave just yet. Money wasn't an issue when you could create your own and Sersi wasn't quite done shopping. Right now, however, she was sitting in an outdoor cafe and enjoying a double espresso.

"So, let me get this straight...the WWE Universe wants me to come and guest-host one of their shows? " he asks into his cellphone, as he sits at an outdoor San Francisco cafe, waiting for an old friend.

"Yes, Simon. They've even got theme music picked out for you. You'd be meeting up with your buddy, Dwayne Johnson. I hear he's back in the swing of things over there."  his agent, Stu, says.

"Stu, you gotta give me some time to think this over. Not sure how I feel about this one." Simon says.

"Hey, Simon...let me ask you: Are you goin' back into the hero business? Lots of people are askin' these days, now that all that mess is cleaned up and everything is kinda-sorta back to normal. The pictures of you and Miss Marvel havin' dinner are out there. What do I tell the reporters when they ask?" Stu queries.

"No comment. Later, Stu." Simon says, a bit annoyed now.

He sat and drank his mocha, the mocha that he didn't really need to drink, and watched the people pass-by.
