Little Boy Blue (die Festung - Open)
Hank had been out walking in the City, for the first time in a good long while looking human once more. He'd finished his image inducer and was now taking it for a test stroll. It was a bit odd, not being noticed at all. He'd even rigged it so that his feet seemed a normal size. For once in his life, according to everybody else's vision, he was a perfectly average, if slightly geeky, young man.
He could have any face he wanted, too, but he'd elected to use the original. He'd never lamented his own lack of classic, rugged good looks, after all. Ok, maybe he'd neglected to leave in some old acne scarring, but that was the extent of the self correction beyond his feet. He walked down the street, thinking about things, then paused and looked up as the air suddenly changed.
He was someplace new.
The young mutant stopped and turned around, looking. He saw nothing around him that was familiar. There was no hint of the City he had started to become accustomed to, just run down buildings, sad looking people, and a stench in the air that was unlike anything Hank had ever smelled before.
He looked around, frowning, then looked up in the sky. He froze, staring at the alien looking mass hanging above the world he was on, then let out a shaky breath. "Honestly.... again?"
