The Streets of Baltimore, Monday Night

[gunslingerpose]

Against his better judgment (and when was anything Nikolai ever did really in line with his better judgment anyway?), Gorgon was back on patrol in the streets of Baltimore tonight. Granted, Monday nights weren't exactly the busiest nights for crime, so, as far as Nick was concerned, he was easing himself back into the swing of it.

And, hell, after flashing his goggles at a couple of muggers and leaving them zip-tied to a lamppost with a lit road flare marking where they were for any cops to find, he was even feeling pretty damn okay. A little stiffness in his shoulder, a bit of soreness, but a few more hits and even that would be gone until he dropped right back out of the power high again. For the time being he was back on his bike, making that slow, deliberate patrol around one of the neighborhoods he tended to frequent, making certain that any would-be criminals were well aware that he was back on the job.

Ah, the crime-fighting life. It was good to be back.

[OOC: Open to anyone who might happen to be in Baltimore tonight! Because... costumed heroing is something I keep meaning to post this guy doing more of.]

"Still, similar is better than nothing!" Kathy said, basing that on absolutely nothing concrete at all. "Don't you think so?"

"Uh... sure. We're practically kindred spirits."

By virtue of being one of the billions of people from a reality that had a Mighty Dragon in it. That was totally sound logic there.

And of those billions, they were likely the only two on the tiny island off the coast of Baltimore that served as an interdimensional nexus.

But sure. That wasn't horrifically improbable or anything.

"You're one of those super-cool guys who's never impressed by anything, aren't you?" she asked, flat. She'd met a thousand like him in L.A. They were the kind of guys who worked in a Starbucks on the Strip just so they could brag about working in Hollywood.

"Not true," Nick replied, smirking. "I'm one of those super-cool guys who's only impressed by a few things, here and there. I've already met several vampires and I once stared a dinosaur down while trolls and vikings roamed the streets and I just happened to think I'd been a woman my whole life at the time. The bar is set pretty high these days."
