It hadn't been easy taking both the news of Vox's death and the following reports that the boy had been abused and experimented on in the name of science. It had been a grievous enough of an affair already and then to learn that - he'd sat with Felix for hours asking her how, as a hero, as someone who was meant to protect people, he hadn't seen the signs. Hadn't thought more beyond the fact that Vox Bishop was an eccentric, peculiar boy who admired heroes and proudly wore the Atlas patch that Vance had given him and — By then in his ramblings of the kid Vance would become nearly inconsolable. Lost in thought over the untimely and undeserving deaths of Vox and Christian, the disappearance of a clearly troubled Mink. What kind of a hero was he? He just wasn't. Felix would leave him alone then for a time, sometimes asking Jason to come in and talk to him, one costumed, trained monkey to another. But eventually Vance would slip back into his forced cheeriness. He'd almost lost his sister last year and he had her now. He had a friend in Lora, too. As much as he didn't believe in fighting, he still had to. So they packed once they were sure their passports were in order and headed out to Niagara Falls, determined to have fun. Felix was a menace with her camera, naturally, trying to convince Vance to do absolutely ridiculous things for the sake of her entertainment. And because he loved her that much, he did most of it. They hadn't found any moose yet - to Vance's repeated prayers - but they had found Mounties and apparently Felix liked a man in uniform. Visiting the falls today would be fun. For St. Patrick's Day, the lights under the falls would illuminate the water green. Apparently it was a pretty amazing sight. For the morning, though, they were on the American side of the natural tourist attraction, getting ready to board the Maid of the Mist, which was going to take them up close and personal with the waterfalls. It got off to a late start, though, as a couple of people spotted Vance and recognized him as Atlas and an impromptu photo op ensued. Finally, though, to Felix's constant ribbing, they took off, decked out in cheesy ponchos. |
