Upon reaching the outskirts of town, the former Avenger glided down and landed softly on the forest soil and walked towards a hill. There, with his heightened vision, he was able to see the town and it's people from a distance without a chance of being spotted. From what he can tell it looked like a festival was taking place, judging by the orange and red streamers, banners and other decorations. The townsfolk were having a good time amongst themselves, especially with some of the children playing carnival games like the ones back home while the adults are drinking, eating, and socializing. It looked normal enough, except that the houses and buildings looked like it was a mixed between the Wild West and the 1930's.

Deciding to investigate closer, the former Avenger slide down the steep hill and used his left claw to slow himself down until he reached stable ground and hid behind one of the buildings sticking to the shadows as he scaled it until he got onto the roof and scanned his surroundings "Now, where would one go to find information in a town like this?" the demon muttered himself.

Ishmael kept searching the town while still remain hidden by quietly jumping and gliding from one building to the next, until he noticed one building with the words 'Library' engraved on the side of the wooden door. Unfortunately, said door also had a sign that said 'Sorry, We're Closed', 'Damn, just my luck' he cursed to himself and continued on until he spotted another building at the end of the paved road. This one was a two story building that looked like a cross between a motel and saloon complete with saloon doors and a huge sign that said 'Miyako's bar'.

The Demon Avenger shook his head and smiled wistfully seeing no other option 'Of course, it's always gotta to be at a bar, now I'm starting to feel like Logan.'

He climbed down into an alleyway and just as he was about the step out of the shadows, the demon stopped and looked at his hands and feet. "Hold on a second, what am I doing! I'm not in New York City anymore and if I step out right now, people will panic and whoever the officials are, would 'try' to detain and/or kill me. Keyword being 'try' and I'm in no mood to fight right now" he whispered to himself.

So, the demon stepped back into the alley, took a couple deep breaths and concentrated. His body began morphing starting with his skin; the skin went from red to a lightly tanned color, next was the claws and talons on both his hands and feet as it shifted to look more like ordinary nails and toenails. He then furled his wings seemingly went into his back, the horns disappeared in a puff of smoke, and his demonic eyes changed to a more human hazelnut eye color. Lastly was his tail which he wrapped it around his waist underneath the trench coat and shirt, and over his pants. Ishmael spotted a pair of light brown shoes near a trash can which still looked it was in decent shape and as he put it on over his bare feet, it was comfortable enough to walk in it. Why some humans both here and back home did this he'll never know. With the change complete, the disguised demon saw a nearby window that showed off his reflection and after a couple of minutes and liking what he's seeing he said "Okay, let's get movin'."

Ishmael left the alley and went towards the bar, and as he walked, he couldn't helped but notice a few people staring at him, wondering who he is since they have never seen him in town before, but choose to ignore it, until he felt a small red ball softly hit his leg, looked down and he picked it up. He then saw a 7 year old girl run towards him. She had brunette hair styled in twin pigtails, had sea green eyes, wore an orange shirt with a panda in the front, white shorts with matching sandals with sunflower clips. The little girl looked up and asked "Excused me mister, can I have the ball back please?"

The disguised demon gave a soft smile, bent his knees down to her level, handed back the little girl her ball and said "Here ya go kid" "Thank you" she replied back with smile of her own.

"Sabrina, there you are!" a female voice cried out.

The little girl and Ishmael looked to see whose voice belong to and soon saw a young woman carrying a bag of groceries with both arms wrapped around the bags. She looked to be in her early 20's wearing a long sleeved blue turtleneck, and skinny blue jeans both of which almost hugged tightly at her figure showing off her ample chest and wore black flats. The woman also had wavy strawberry blonde hair that reached to her back and like the little girl, apparently named Sabrina, also had sea green eyes albeit slightly darker. She came up the the duo and scolded the little girl

"I thought I told not to play until we get back home" "I'm sorry Cassandra" Sabrina replied sadly hanging her head down, the woman signed "it's okay, just don't do it again and next time don't leave my sight", to which the 7 year old lifted her head back up and smiled "I hope she wasn't bothering you sir." the woman named Cassandra asked as she faced the 'man' she addressed, to which Ishmael simply replied "It's no big deal, no harm no foul, I was just heading to the bar down the road so I'm in no big rush."

This caught Cassandra's attention.

"By bar, you mean Miyaki's bar?" she asked curiously "That be it" "Oh me and my sister we're just on our way there, our dad owns and works as a bartender, we can introduce you to him if you want." Seeing no harm he accepted and even offered to help with the groceries to which the girl smiled in relief and handed it to him, "You're a real lazy bum, you know that big sis?" "Oh shut up, he's just being a gentleman and I don't mind the extra help, thank you very much, now let's just go home." As the newly formed trio make their way to the bar, she just remembered something that she should have done before upon meeting Ishmael, "Oh I almost forgot, my name is Miyaki Cassandra, you can just call me Cassie for short and the little terror here is Sabrina." "Hey!" the aforementioned girl shout back causing both Ishmael and Cassandra to chuckle "And what's your name?" the woman asked once she stopped laughing.

Usually the demon in disguise would just give a false alias to hide his identity from anybody, either a civilian or a hero not in costume, but he decided to make an exception just this once "Call me Ishmael."
