They were finally back. Things had managed to get even more disastrous in their absence.
And Moira knew whom she most needed to see, with whom she most needed to talk.

He was very busy, initially, and she would not interrupt anything so entangled with people's health. But she waited for him outside the infirmary, until he was done.

“Hey , Joe, gimme a hand here, will ya?” Mike Sharpe, employee for Decker Logging, called out.

“Yeah. Gimme a sec,” Joe Krause replied.

The two men were checking the chains and straps that held the logs in place on the flatbed. They had just finished loading the logs and getting ready to ship them out.

Neither man saw the trees in the surrounding jungle start to move. They moved slowly and for a moment one would think the wind was moving them, but then they started to approach the two loggers. Slowly they made their way toward the two men and the truck.

Branches lowered and the two men were grabbed.

Workers would come to the site later and find no traces of the two men.

Elsewhere in the Amazon similar events take place at other logging camps.

She did care about taking care of people. She did want to one day meet the right guy. Introduce him to her parents of course and maybe if he was the one> Settle down and have some kids with him.

Of course he had to be someone who didn't care about her folks being deaf or the fact she is a mutant. Maybe she won't ever settle down. Maybe she will just continue helping people.

Now she thought about her young friend. The one she kept mothering because he needed it. Just where was he? It was nearly three in the morning. While she had reasons to be up and about he should be in bed sleeping.

Marcia frowns sharply and taps her foot trying not to worry too heavily.

New Orleans was a city enriched with a deep and colorful history, but it also had a dark side.
It was a den of iniquity, a place where lascivious appetites were catered to and a perfect place for seven demons to call home. They arrived in New Orleans separately after being freed from their imprisonment in Hell. Each one reveled in the sin and corruption all around. Sure Las Vegas was another place they could have called home, New Orleans seemed like a better fit for them.

They slipped in at night as silently as a a hunting predator. They were indeed hunting, but each was hunting a perfect host.

When a perfect host was found, the demon slipped inside of the mortal body and possessed it. New Orleans was now their own private playground.

May had hopped on the first subway to Queens that morning.

She was tired of hiding the truth from her parents. She was tired of just breaking up muggings, knowing that there was more that she could do with the powers that she had inherited.

She was going to tell her parents about Spider-Girl today. And she was going to tell that she fully intended on staying as her, even if they didn't want her to. May had a gift, and she wanted to use it to help people.

Just like her Dad did.

She'd called them earlier to tell that she wanted to talk about something. Something important.

When she arrived at home, May took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell.

Here goes nothing...

Leech got rather cheerfully off the computer. It felt weird to be cheerful with everyone still slowly recovering from so many horrible things. But he couldn't help but be happy about the news he'd just gotten.
