Catching up
There were few times in his life that Simon Williams worried about being stood up, but tonight was one of them. He waited outside the steakhouse in uptown New York, trying to ignore the paparazzi that had been following shadowing him the last hour and a half. Sure, the girl was nice enough and not one of his usual stalkers, but damn it if it she didn't attract her share of trouble, too.

The last thing Simon needed was more trouble, especially these days.

He's been out of the superhero game since Osborn invited him to leave the previous incarnation of the Avengers when he set up his own team. Rather than sit idle or join up with the underground resistance, Simon chose to focus on his career, also know as the part of his life that made him a household name. Wonder Man was just one of many heroes out there, but people /loved/ Simon Williams.

When asked his feelings on the Superhuman Registration Act, he'd been candid; he said that everyone had gone about it wrong on both sides and the public trust got caught in the crossfire. He didn't win any friends in The Community with that one and a few people, like Clint Barton, basically told him to lose their number.

At least /she/ picked up the phone when he called.

So he waited in his blue shirt and black slacks, hoping that Carol was going to show up. Otherwise, tonight seemed like a good night to fly and not stop.
