WHO: Mindy Macready and OPEN
WHERE: A (comic) book store!
WHEN: Sometime nowish
WARNINGS: Just some spazzing on Mindy's side
SUMMARY: Where are all the comics?
FORMAT: Prose for now whatever you want later.

There were few things in the world that Mindy needed. She didn't care for dolls or toys (unless they had a blade), but she did care for comic books. Maybe not as much as Kick-Ass, but certainly enough that without Daddy, she needed something to do. So she had finally gotten herself to look around town for something that she could read.

It had never occurred to her that when you lived with the super heroes, that you weren't going to find the comics. So when she had gotten to the store, and couldn't find Batman of all comics. She kept looking, There was no X-men, or Superman, or Spider Man, or even Watchmen and Sandman. How was this store even open?

It wasn't a panic that set in, but she frowned. Comics were her entertainment when she wasn't killing people or making pipe bombs or training. And now even most of those were gone.

This place was starting to look a bit more like hell.

"Doesn't sound too bad." Maybe he'd been dreaming of grizzly bears. "He's a... friend of mine," she explained to the girl. "Was just a bit concerned about him."

She tilted her head, "He was here too, then? Did he go away?"

She wondered who else was here.

"He's still here. Just spent some time back home." She tilted her head a bit. "You a fan?"

"Sort of," she said, "Not as much as I like other comics, but Wolverine is cool."

It felt strange and yet kind of cool that she was talking to someone she'd grown up thinking was a comic book character her whole life. It didn't help that they were talking about other comic book characters. It was kind of surreal.

"Yeah, he is pretty cool," she said with a bit of a smile. Granted, she'd never really thought about it in those terms before, but it was true enough.
