Time:1:38 pm
Location:Mainly roof tops
Flipping as she jumped the gap and easily landing on the other side, Carol couldn't help being a little thrilled to get some self-training outside of the mansion. Sure she had plenty of it back at the school but sometimes that wasn't enough when it came to her physical attributes from her mutation. Thus the reason the demonic mutant was out and about the city, moving among the roof tops with little difficulty. Next to her acrobatics, agility, and wall-crawling navigating the top part of the buildings was a synch for her and it allowed her to test her limits of just how far she could push her body.
So far everything was going great and no one had yet to notice her which she could tell thanks to her telepathy. Not that anyone would really end up looking up at the roofs anyway since there normally wasn't anything interesting unless you saw an Avenger flying about or random mutant or super powered human. Though it was likely someone would see her considering her outfit and red fur or just her appearance in general.
In fact her outfit considered of a khaki colored tank top with crimson red and khaki colored pants, brown boots, and crimson colored breast plate, gloves, and black mask around her green pupil-less eyes. It was quite an odd outfit but it was what Carol used to mostly conceal her identity if someone were to see her. And it was not likely someone would recognize her right off the bat and that was what the young mutant was aiming for. At the moment she was just not fully comfortable in revealing who and what she was entirely to the world like some of the others.
Letting out a soft, content sigh Carol walked towards the edge of the roof and began to gaze at the streets below, her gaze following each movement. Though she was quite unaware of what fate would deal her way that day in meeting someone very unexpected.

Pietro had wanted to get away from the city for the day, it was just too much going on at once. Not that he couldn't handle it, but he did have his off days and wanting to be alone days too also. So he began to climb one of the nearby buildings up the fire shaft in order to see how high he would be up in the air. Of course, a lot of the roof tops were sky scrapers, almost as if they were reaching into the heavens, one of them was certainly the Empire State Building as it reached a couple...maybe thousand feet? Whatever it was, Pietro never hoped to reach that height, as he was used to the ground underneath his feet, he didn't come to like flying. If it was however a last resort he would take it, but it would certainly make him uneasy and nervous.
As he climbed to the top in the distance of a batch of other buildings he thought he saw a figure, he couldn't come to the conclusion that it was some sort of trick. No it couldn't be one. As he tried to squint his eyes, he could only make out a faint appearance of the person. Well, he determined at this point, that it was just simply another person. But curiousity grew over him as he wanted to find out who it was. If it was just another human, he would have probably left them alone. But a mutant, that may have been a different story.
So he began to use his speed to move across the buildings, but there was a slight twist to them, he had to jump at one point in order to avoid the gap that was in them. The gap wasn't that bad, he had been at least fit in order to jump over them. And he was well onto that as he easily made it over the gaps several times. And finally came over to where the huma-wait a minute. A he got a better look at the person he realized that it wasn't a human at all. But some other creature.
But something deep down made the talkative speedster suddenly fall silent. As if he couldn't find the words to say as he looked over at her, "Um....Hi there..." Pietro said neary mumbling through his fast talk. If anything she was bound not to understand her as he smacked his head again with the palm of his hand. Maybe being a bit harsh right now to his own self. 'That was stupid. I doubt she heard any of that. But sometimes I just can't help myself. It's my speech.' He thought to himself

For a moment Carol thought she had seen something from the corner of her eye, turning her head slightly for a moment. But at first she saw nothing and decided to shrug it off and was preparing to continue on before once more something caught her attention. Turning back once more she noticed someone seemed to be moving on the roof tops with rather unusual speed and quite a bit of jumping ability since he cleared the gaps with relative ease. Though it soon dawned on Carol that the man was coming towards her.
Was this man coming to confront her at all? Was he a super human or a mutant like her? These and other questions ran through her mind in the seconds it was taking Pietro to arrive to her, almost in a panic enough she tensed until he stopped on the other side of the roof. But to her amazement it was the infamous Pietro Maximoff, otherwise known as Quicksilver from the old Brotherhood and from what Carol heard avid Avenger member now. It quite shocked her that he had approached her but she faintly caught his words and could have sworn there was a hello or hi in there.
"Uhm hi to you too Quicksilver, i-it's a pleasure to meet you."Carol said shyly, not showing that she was afraid anymore since he didn't seem at all threatening towards her. Perhaps he had just been curious was all. But none the less she was shy as ever and looked away while tapping her fingers together, her tail twitching to show just how nervous she was.

"yeah sorry for earlier...sometimes I can get carried away and talk fast. Though that was me failing to talk fast if you get what I mean." Pietro said as he moved a bit on his feet to flex them a bit. As he watched Carol he got a bit of a better look at her. To see that she was certainly an interesting looking creature. Her fur was red while his own abilities shown as blue. They were different that way, but still an interesting color combination.
"Yeah sorry if I startled you too...I just got curious." He added. Though he did realize that he didn't know much about her as she did with him. Being a renewed super hero, he was sure his name appeared in the papers more than once. And that was a good thing as he was giving himself some publicity and as well as the Avengers. Of course before it had been the opposite when things had been when he was with the Brotherhood.

"It-its alright, I've heard your a pretty fast talker so it's understandable."Carol said to him, briefly looking at Pietro and noticing he was observing her but didn't know what he was thinking. Though she probably could touch his mind she knew better then to make such an attempt, especially since he might have detected her before she could draw back and be accused of invading his privacy. In a way it kind of was when people wanted to keep their thoughts to themselves and unfortunately she sometimes heard those thoughts since she was still learning to block them out.
Again she shook her head,"I did get a little worried when you were approaching since I didn't know what your intentions were and who you were at first. But I can see you aren't at all a danger."She managed to say, but still showed some nervousness around the man. Even as she got a brief once over of Pietro she had to admit it was pretty handsome, even though she probably should have been scared due to his reputation of his past. But she saw now reason to be when she sensed no intention of harm or danger. "Oh and I uh...I'm Carol Evergreen, but I also go by Night Flare."She added quickly when realizing she hadn't introduced herself.

"Yeah I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean any harm. Not to mention, I'm not really in the mood right now to pick a fight with anyone." Pietro said knowing stirring up trouble would have been bad for himself and as well as publicity for the Avengers. So it would have just been better if he avoided it. That was until the Avengers were needed. Oddly it had been quiet out, there wasn's a single sound coming from the villians within a few days. Maybe they were planning something? It was hard to say at this point.
He did have to admit himself, she did look pretty in a way. Though she wasn't exactly human, he liked the way her fur looked, and it was unique in that shade of red. "It's nice to meet you Carol. I guess I don't need to give you an introduction unless you want it." Pietro said with a shrug as he moved his shoulders a bit. He felt himself suddenly look away from Carol. To avoid being stared at he looked down at some of the city for a bit. To see how high up they were. And it was certainly high. If anyone had a fear of heights, this would have not been the place to come for them.

"No it's understandable, I'm not exactly much for fighting myself anyway."Carol said to him, knowing that might sound a little odd considering she was with many of the well known fighters among the X-men. But being a student it would be a choice if she went on to be one of them or left to follow her own path. And at this moment she was still considering leaving when she had finished her college courses. Still that was a few years down the line and even then should could have changed after her final high school year.
But as there was a brief silence between them Carol accidently caught Pietro's thoughts, still trying to learn to block them out once in a while but couldn't help looking away shyly when she realized what he did think about her. Pietro was the only one outside the mansion she met who didn't think she was a 'demon' of sorts or weird looking. "You can give one if you want Pirtro, I mean I only know about as much as anyone else does but doesn't mean that's really you."She said to him as she was busying herself in watching the sights below.

"I'll do it when I have too, but I guess I've turned a bit mellow since my old days. Fighting was a lot back then. And maybe it just wore me down. I don't know if that's the best way to describe it but I guess it works." Pietro said giving a soft shrug. Pietro on the other hand hadn't had much of a life at school. Sure he had been tutored by his parents with his sister. Other than that he hadn't stepped into a highschool. The pressures of being chased out as mutants was always a possibility. Though he and his sister did know how to easily read and write, it was a wrongful thing to call them dumb since they knew quiet a bit. Maybe it was a trait that they had been given from their father.
Pietro meanwhile had not noticed at all that Carol had read his thoughts. He wasn't used to telepathy, except for when Jean Grey or Emma Frost had tried to read his mind in the past. Usually it went so fast for them it wasn't easy to keep up. So many thoughts racing at once, that's just how he went sometimes, and had been used to it for years. He looked back at him, "Well I am Pietro Maximoff-as you know and my code name is Quicksilver. I currently reside with the Avengers in New York alongside my sister, Wanda. It still is a pleasure to meet you of course." He added having his voice turning back to normal at this point. It wasn't a completely heavy one, but enough of course to call it defintely a male's voice. Maybe when time grew on it would sound like Magneto's. But that was something that he even couldn't control.

"Like I said Pietro it's nice to meet you,"Carol said with a slight smile before she shrugged from his first words."As for fighting if it comes down to it I will fight but for the most part I tend to avoid it at any cost, which I'm often called cowardly but I have my reasons."Carol said to him as she looked back at Pietro. Though just from the brief moment she read his mind it surprised her just how much his thoughts were a racing whirlwind in a way, going to fast she couldn't catch everything except maybe a few surface thoughts. So it was no different form his actual speed or fast speech.
Though in the case of education with Carol she had had home schooling for much of her life, least until she ended up at Xavier's which had helped to further her knowledge. But still it wasn't likely that she would stay there for very long since she did hope to accomplish some things after that point. "Uh hey Pietro if your not busy would you like to continue this patrol with me? Mean if your not busy that is."Carol asked after a bit, not knowing what else to say to the speedster but still wanted to talk to him a little more and she thought this might be a good chance.

Pietro wasn't really used to telepathic ways when it came to using them. It would have given him a slight disadvantage if there was a telepath nearby. The only ones that he was really aware of was Emma Frost and Jean Grey from the X-Men. Each one of them had used a variety of tricks on him to spill information out at one time or another. But it was another to try and keep up with is whirlwind of thoughts. If they weren't a speedster like himself they would no doubt have trouble. "Yeah you as well." Quicksilver said as he nodded back to Carol. "Uh I guess it just depends on who you are. I grew up having to constantly defend myself and my sister since the civillians were constantly after us. For awhile that convinced us that humans were always up to no good."
He seemed silent once more as he let Carol speak up again about offering on going on a patrol with her. He didn't have really anything else to do as he nodded back to her, "Sure we can do that. The Avengers aren't expecting me back any time soon so it'd be fine." He assured her. His blue eyes then looked back at her as he got ready for some more jumping. Of course he wanted to stay on the ground instead of in the air, that was one thing that he had disliked for a long time.

Carol nodded before she looked across to the gaps that remained, but she knew eventually there would be one she couldn't jump across and likely not even Pietro could get enough momentum to do the same. So sooner or later they would have to move along the ground then along the roof tops. Though the only reason Carol was using the roofs was because she really didn't want to be among a crowd of people who likely wouldn't want her around or would become afraid. Having noticed her mother's fear of her and her brother being seen as freaks it had a great impact on her for her appearance.
"I don't really know if I hate humans Pietro, just...have a hard time trusting them."Carol told him as she took a running start and jumped, grabbing hold of the next roof ledge and back flipping to land on her feet. Though she took a moment to wait for him before she continued,"You see my mothers fear of me and my brother looking like demons kind of had a bigger impact on me then anything of mostly questioning my own looks."She explained to him but knew it had invoked her brother loathing humans with a passion.

"Either way we understand one thing." Pietro said as he was listening to Carol as she spoke, he used his super human speed to help him get a bit more of an advantage as he dashed over the side and jumped with some ease. He had been a couple of inches from hitting the roof, but it was plenty of room to correct himself. Then as he stood back up on his own feet after saving himself from smacking into the ground he completed the rest of what he was trying to say, "That humans have often times given mutants a bad name. But I do have to admit one thing I too have another sibling named Wanda. She has the ability over probability, and in her younger years it was a power that she had a hard time controling."
HE said as he started to remember his past. Often times that he wasn't too happy about, "Many of those days lead humans become to be supersticious, they didn't know what a mutant was back then. They had accused my sister of being a witch. And no matter what I did I couldn't stop them to let her go." He said as he felt one hand ball up into a fist as he tried to relaxe it. He knew better than to show his anger around someone new. But it was something that lasted in his family line, his father had anger....But did his grandfather? He didn't know much about them since Magneto never truely talked about his family history. Where they came from, who they were supposedly. All still mysteries to him. And all he had was his sister.

Carol again quietly listened to Pietro as he explained his own experiences with humans and in a way could see why he hadn't trusted them either. Though when she began to notice Pietro's curled fist while sensing his growing anger she reflexively extended her mind to Pietro's, revealing her telepathy power. 'Pietro calm down, that's in the past you shouldn't let that get to you now.'She said through her thoughts but realized what she had just done without really having done it purposely.
It was truly the first time Carol had ever created a telepathic link with anyone, knowing sometimes they could be permanent. Now it concerned her that this might be one as she wasn't fully sure of what all she could do with her telepathy, if it would be close to being as strong as Emma Frost's or close to it. But now what would Pietro do now that she had created it?

Pietro winced as he felt the sudden contact to his mind. Making him even flinch as he released his hand. "What? What was that? I heard your thoughts...you heard mine." Pietro said as he held a hand on his head as he realized something wasn't right. A massive headache, almost migrane like formed in his head as he held onto it with one hand to make sure that he was alright and wouldn't feel dizzy later.
But the pain was so much that he had to sit down as his head continued to throb. One thing was certain was that he could not believe it...he had some sort of link maybe to an X-Man? The team that he had been plagued by for so many years, the one that he had been against for so long. "I don't feel so good Carol, my head is pounding." He said still in surprise as he couldn't even look up at the neyaphem mutant since it hurt so bad.

Realizing that the migraine he was now suffering was from her sudden telepathic link she created between them Carol quickly came over, kneeling beside Pietro as she rested a hand on his shoulder. "Oh, Pietro I'm so sorry!"She apologized, her voice full of guilt for what she had just done. "I-I'm not just a neyaphem demonic mutant, I'm also a telepath but I haven't yet figured out all of what I can do. What I did was just out of reflex."She tried to explain as she was feeling horrible for this just when she had been trying to comfort him.
But seeing how bad it was the young mutant knew this wasn't the best place for him to stay,"We need to get you out of here Pietro if this continues it could make you black out."She warned him, having gone through several migraines before due to the telepathy and had even blacked out a few times when overexerting herself.
