It hadn't been too difficult to ascertain the general vicinity the new Theoi was playing in, at least once one had access to a police scanner. Reports of things flying about was her first clue, and once she got to the area, the localized freakish weather was enough to clue her in.
The tricky part, of course, was finding one particular person in a city the size of New York, no matter how small the neighborhood was. Luckily, fate was something she often held in the palm of her hand. Até walked around the streets, working her magic on the probability of chance encounters, setting up a string of coincidences that led to the eventual meeting she hopped for.
She was leaning against the side of a building when she felt him pass by, and it was easy to tell who he was.. the power in him was heady. She fell into step beside him, lasting only a few steps before he turned on her.
It wasn't so much a conversation as a mind assault. It was more subtle than the screaming at the museum, and far more individualized, and it took all her concentration to keep him out of her mind as he backed her against a wall. She could feel the questions pushing against her wards, and some answers slipped though... who were they, where were they from, why were they there.
More important, to her at least, was what he offered. Between his questions, she could ask her own, questions that mirrored his. Who, what, why. And those answers would be her bargaining chip.
He was done with her soon enough, a fact she found quite agreeable- he was crazy strong, and she wasn't sure how long she'd be able to hold her own against him. When he finally left she felt like her head had been shoved against a wall, or run through a grater. But she'd gotten enough of what she wanted... enough for a plan. Or at the very least, a bit of currency.
It was New York, and easy to catch a cab, now that the sudden storm had ended. with an exhausted sigh she slid into the seat, and nodded to the cabbie, giving the address for her hotel. It was time for home.
