Edie pulled herself inside the window. She, being one of the newbies, had been sent out on an initiation mission. She had obviously gotten off to bad start with Monet after falling asleep while the group's leader was no doubt explaining something important. Trying to tell Monet that she couldn't help herself was useless. But robbing the Kingpin?! This was a disaster waiting to happen. Especially if she fell asleep again.
Edie began to inspect the room looking for something of value. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest. She could hear a dog sniffing around outside the door. It began to howl. She froze and was on the verge of tears. Someone started upstairs, like they wanted to check out what was going on. She didn't want to use her powers, for fear they would leave her completely vulnerable. But she didn't see any other way. She grabbed something off the dresser to prove that she had been there and teleported herself out. When she landed she was already unconscious and hit the ground hard.
Sometime later she came to, and felt something heavy on her back. She moaned sleepily and yawned. "Hey girl," she heard Felicia say. "That was me last night. Sorry if I scared you. I screwed up your mission. That's all Monet needs to know," Felicia told her. "Thanks, she really hates me," Edie said with a sigh. "Monet hates everyone. So your nothing special," Felicia said laughing. Felicia stood up. "I think you should go, though," she said suddenly taking a serious tone. Edie looked at her in disbelief. "What?" Felicia wouldn't make eye contact. "A girl with narcolepsy has no place as a thief. Don't take this the wrong way. I'm trying to look out for you," Felicia told her. "Look at me," Edie said bitterly. "I have blue skin! What else am I going to do looking like this? Hell, how am I going to live? I've been hiding all my life because of this," Edie ranted. "Calm down. I have a friend who may be able to help you. Just lay low for a few days and everything will be okay," Felicia said. Edie nodded.
Later that day…
Felicia sat nervously at the bar counter. She fit in with the crowd, but inside she felt like a sore thumb. She broke a peanut shell with her fingers. "What do you want," she heard a familiar voice growl. She couldn't stop the smile from crossing her face. She turned. "Logan, it's been a long time," she said. "What do you want," he repeated. "I need your help," she said. "What are you doing for a living right now," he asked. "I'm a thief," she said, after a momentary pause. He turned around and headed out, ignoring her calls for him. He hesitated, briefly at the door. "I'll give you help, when you change your life," he told her.
Felicia ran out to catch him. "But it's not for me. We both know that I am beyond saving. You have to help this other girl. I tried but all I was able to do was make Monet her enemy. And we both know that there is only one place that she is safe from Monet," Felicia told him. "Xavier would take care of her," he said. "Logan, I'm not talking about the Institute," she said.
