Who: Psylocke OT Wisdom
When: Friday afternoon
Where: The Mean Streets of New York City
What: Wisdom is about to receive a visit from an old coworker. Given his previous line of work, this might not be a good thing.
Warning: Profanity
Back home, Elisabeth Braddock would never dream of leaving the flat without a hat. If she was in London, she would be instantly recognized thanks to her trademark head of shocking purple hair. If she was anywhere that her parents' friends might possibly see her, she usually wore a hat to try and minimize the shock. Here in New York City, though, no one blinked twice at purple hair, and this far from the Garment District on a Friday afternoon, there was little chance she would be recognized.
For all intents and purposes, 'Psylocke' (as she was known) was here in New York to pursue modeling jobs - though she had yet to actually accept any. In reality, her reason for choosing New York City was a bit more personal: she was looking up an old friend. Well, 'friend' might be an overstatement, really. She was looking for a fellow spy named Wisdom - someone who'd gone underground. There were rumors that he was a mutant and went into hiding to save his skin. No one had seen him for years - except for Betsy's brother Brian used to work with Wisdom and heard from him not too long ago. He would never consciously give up his friend's whereabouts, of course, but Betsy had discovered the tip anyway.
Which is why she was walking in downtown Manhattan in late September, wearing fashionable heels and shadowing a bloke she'd spotted half a block back who looked like her mark. It would have been the third Wisdom Sighting of the day, though: the city was big. Still, it was worth a second look - and the fact that it might be Wisdom would account for the fact that she was keeping eight paces behind him and trying to avoid being spotted. Given her distinctive hair, she would probably be easily recognized if seen...
