Who: Tobias and Rachel
What: Reunions, over dinner
When/Where: Tonight, starting in Rachel's apartment in NYC, then on the town
Warnings: Cuteness? Probably nothing too bad, with the giant age gap XD

It took Tobias a while, after hopping a portkey and morphing to take flight, to remember his way to Rachel's old apartment. She hadn't lived there for years, after all. But once he saw the neighborhood, he found his way easily enough, fluttering down to land on the fire escape. It was too cold to morph outside, so he let himself through the window, before changing back.

"Rach? It's me." A beat, "Uh, Tobias," He realized she wouldn't recognize his voice, of course. God, this was going to be weird. But it wasn't like he could stay away.

Her comment earned a chuckle. "Hey, and yet I can still eat sushi. I'm versatile, like that." He gave her a lopsided grin at that- something that probably looked out of place on his face, but he'd grown a lot more laid back about his reality since joining X-Factor.

Once they were on the street, he pointed them in the right direction, sticking close to her as they weaved through the crowded sidewalk. He still wasn't terribly fond of walking- claustrophobic, for obvious reasons- but if she stayed close, he wouldn't have a problem.

	She grinned back at him, this would be a good night, just the two of them. And who cared what anyone else thought? Of course they probably wouldn't act like they were together when they were out, but it was sort of hard to hide. After all they'd been through...Rachel just really wanted to be with him, no matter how much older than her he now was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"So, have you looked into who you are here, yet?" It was just for smalltalk, something to keep his attention on her while they walked. Not that he needed help, but it was better than the awkward silence of him just watching her. Especially considering one hand slid from his pocket, to reach for hers. So people would think he was a creepy old man. He'd dealt with worse.

	"Who I am here?" Rachel was confused by that. Wasn't she just Rachel Berenson? She didn't know what that was really supposed to mean, but then this place was really strange, wasn't it? Why wouldn't you be someone else here? His hand felt good in hers and she didn't care what anyone else thought about them at the moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He just smiled a little at that. "I'll take it that's a no. I don't remember much about the school you went to, but I remembered you liked it. You have an alternate identity here, that the vortex assigns you. You're still you, but it sets you up with the house, a bank account, that kind of thing, under another name. At the risk of ruining the surprise? You're not bad-off," They paused at a stoplight to let the traffic whiz by, and Tobias' other wrist came into view for just a second, to let him check the time. He knew he was nowhere near two hours, but old habits died hard.

"So am I a celebrity or something?" Rachel asked him curiously as they walked. She caught him checking his watch, and she knew what it meant. It couldn't be time yet though, right? They'd only been reunited. She tried to hide that she was anxious about it, shaking it off for the moment. "And what about you?" She asked him. "Who are you here?" Anything to take her mind off the fact that they couldn't be together for very long. The universe was fundamentally unfair.

Her first question just earned a chuckle, and a light squeeze to her hand. "Hey, not my story to tell. As for me, well..." He shrugged, looking around the city.

"I get motivated to try that whole 'living in civilization' thing again. There's an agency here, made up of comic book mutants and superheroes," He turned to give her a 'no, really' look, before continuing. "That I went to stay with when I first started out. We ended up helping them with... a small incident with some Andalites. And Jamie offered to let me stay on." He shrugged, really hoping that would be left where it was. "I help out mutants when they arrive, handle the occasional aliens, that kind of thing. Not bad for a guy that never got a high school diploma."

Comic mutants and superheroes? Was it really so unbelievable with all they'd been through? Rachel just sort of nodded, accepting what he was saying. She listened to his story and sort of got the idea that he didn't really tell more of it. There was likely a reason why and Rachel would not pry. Not now anyway, save that for another time. She was just thrilled to be reunited with him.
