There had been an invitation for Excalibur to attend a cookout with the Defenders for Independence Day. Quinn was a Brit by birth, but he had spent half of his life in New York. He considered himself a Yankee as well as a Brit.

When it was time he teleported all from Excalibur who wanted to go to the Defenders compound. Quinn was looking forward to a day in the sun, on the beach and watching girls in bikinis with a lot of good food on hand. Not to mention Asgardian mead. It would truly be a wonderful day.

They arrived in a flash right outside the gates to the compound. It was rude to arrive inside the gates and Quinn didn't feel like fighting. He was a lover, not a fighter.

 This was the second time Shinsuke had been to this building. The first was in the guise of a deliveryman in which he had dropped off the ancient Yashida calligraphy set that Keiji wished to be given to Amiko Kobayashi. Now he was here on an entirely different chore. He was certain he had evaded pursuit for the moment, but not for long. He had to act quickly. He knew he could not simply enter, given the place's security. So he forced himself to be patient and wait outside, hoping to get a glimpse of the woman.
