"That's a neat trick" said Nate as he observed the shenanigans unfold in the alley before glancing back down at his phone. He had wandered into the alleyway to retrieve his bike, parked out of sight behind the assorted goons. Seemingly without his duplicate now, he leaned a shoulder against a wall and typed something into his phone, more nonchalant about the crazy goings on than a sane person would be. But then Nate had seen some really crazy shit in the past. A kid with a pet scorpion-gorilla wasn't even close to being the craziest. 

"What else can it become?" he asked, not even bothering to look away from his phone. "A snake?...A hippo?...A magical unicorn?" He finally looked up from his phone at that thought. "I've never seen a unicorn before" he said before tilting his head to the side and adding "Well I've seen a rhino and they're basically just fat unicorns, right?".

There was an awkward silence as everyone pondered what the hell this weirdo was talking about. Nate simply shook his head and returned his attention to his phone. "Never mind. Carry on with...whatever the hell this is" he informed them. He was in the process of checking in with various contacts and informants to see if any of them had any info to share on Max Velocity's killer. That woman had killed Max while barely lifting a finger. He didn't like the idea of someone that powerful being on the other side. That didn't mean he couldn't watch some chumps get smacked in the face by a gorilla though.

He really wanted to see someone get smacked in the face by a gorilla.
