Neirin wasn't with you? That might have been Natasha who saved your life. She fights crime.

She thinks she does, anyway. Adia never got a clear answer on that. She gets up off the couch she was sitting on and paces around it while Shark snaps his pic, needing somewhere to put her nervous energy. He got shot! He could have died and she wouldn't have even known...

The image comes up as a link to a .jpg file.

I can't get photos on my PINpoint. Hold on.

Luckily there is a computer terminal close by. She sits down and logs into the chat program, which gives her similar access to texts.

And there it is. The aftermath of his injuries. Her stomach twists in sympathy and retroactive worry. Is this what happens when the AV field fails? First Steve nearly dying, now Shark. Not to mention all the people who really did die, including a couple who had nothing to do with Khan and his invasion.

Her hands are shaking when she types out a reply.

Yeah. It's a cool scar. That pretty lady friend of yours will love it.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I was in the Plaza helping the injured, but if I had known, I would have tried to help you, too.
