[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Just listen to me, James."

"Oh, I guess I don't," he mused and leaned back against the couch.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I'm listening, but I'm also criticizing your poor timing."

"How come?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((okay, i still have five minutes))

"I want you to come work for me again."

"Why I don't call you by your nickname, or why I suddenly did?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((huzzah!))

"Why?"

"Both."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I have an assignment for you; I cannot disclose the details but," she came over to him and put an arm around his shoulders, "Imagine us working together again, James!" She smiled.

"What would you prefer that I called you?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He smiled a little. "What's the catch."

"Nono," she replied, smiling a little. "My question first."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"There's no catch. There's never been a catch. It's not my fault that you fell in love with my point of interest."

He shrugged. "I guess, I felt that I wasn't in that inner circle that could use your nickname...and now, I think I'm trying to get into it."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Is she still your point of interest?"

She narrowed her eyes and looked up at him. "What?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Not this time around, and the fact of the matter is, your not hers anymore."

"I thought it was a name...I don't know, I don't seem to make sense anymore."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"No?"

She smiled a little and leaned her head back on his shoulder. "If you say so."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"She's found new friends," she murmured, pulling out a crystal ball from seemingly thin air. She handed it to James. "Look inside."

"I do. Am I allowed to call you Mimi?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He bit his lip but looked anyway, hoping to see just nothing.

"You're allowed to call me whatever you want," she replied with a laugh. "Er, within reason."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"It seems they've found someone else," Morgana murmured, showing how Peter met up with the group..of course, only showing the parts where all of them were laughing and having a generally good time.

"Right, right," he said and grinned.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He frowned, but his eyes lingered on images of Ray. "Does that mean I'm no longer their friend?" he scoffed.

"I'm glad we understand each other."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Does it?" she asked, making images of the attack and then rescue appear in the crystal ball.

"I do too."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He watched the images go by without a word, crossing his arms in front of him.

"Anything else you'd wish to say?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She focused on any interactions between Ray and Peter ((lets say they hugged or something -shrug-)), before putting the crystal ball away. She waited for James to speak first.

"Not really, no."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((all right))

"Why did you show this to me?"

"Oh."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"To tell you that it'll be better for you to come with me."

"What about you?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Why doesn't anyone understand the power of asking nicely?" he asked, throwing his hands up in exasperation.

"I don't know if this is the time or place," she murmured, shrugging.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What do you say?"

"For what?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Why do you need me?"

"For talking about complicated things."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"There isn't anyone else I could ask, James."

He nodded. "We'll save it for later if that's what you want."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"No? Who else have we worked with?"

"Remind me, though," she said firmly, "Otherwise it'll never get done."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Only Edward; and he seems to be busy at the moment."

"Yes, ma'am."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"So am I."

"Good, thanks."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I meant afterwards, when you're done with your silly little assassination games. I just came to tell you now."

"You are welcome. Are you sure you don't want to sleep?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Why couldn't you have come to tell me later, when I'm much less irritable and more likely to listen?"

"Not yet."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Because I have business to attend to. I expect a speedy reply, James," she said and then transformed into a moth just as the door was thrown open. Tom stood in the doorway, an angry look on his face.
"I finally found you! What the hell, man?"

"Alright."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Shut up. I was attacked by a cat who wouldn't take no for an answer."

"I just want to forget," she said without thinking, looking out at nothing.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What? Ah, fuck it, man. We're about to miss this guy," he muttered and headed back to the roof, "Come on."

"Just don't think about it."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He nodded and took the stairs back up to the roof two at a time.

"I'm trying not to."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Tom grabbed the binoculars and peered into the target building. He cursed and threw them to the ground, sitting down.

"Good."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"What?"

"I hope so."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"We missed him."

Edward leaned backk against the couch and looked at her.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Shit. Sorry, man."

She looked back at him. "What? What is it?" she asked quietly.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Tom shook his head and covered his mouth with his hand. After a moment, he let it drop. "It's fine."

"Nothing," he said.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He rolled his eyes. "Sure it is."

She leaned forward a little bit. "Just tell me."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Let's pack it up," he said, opening the suitcases. He placed the gun inside and shut the lid with a little more force than necessary.

"There is nothing, I promise you," he chuckled, "Am I not allowed to look at you anymore?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I said I was sorry, geez. What more do you want?"

She laughed at the thought. "And if I said no?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Nothing. Let's go," he said and headed for the door, carrying along his suitcase.

"I guess I would have to live with it."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

James rolled his eyes and followed him out.

"Just like that?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Tom descended the staircase without a word when his phone started ringing. He hesitated, then pulled it out and pressed the talk button.
"Hello? Yeah, I apologize. Something came up. Do you want me to go after him? What? No? Yes, I understand."

"Just like that."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

James bit his lip, waiting while Tom completed the phone call.

She shook her head. "That hardly makes sense."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Tom sighed. "Yes, alright. Bye," he said and hung up, frowning. "That's it."

"Why?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"What's it?"

"Why should you do something just because I suggest it?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"We're done."

He shrugged. "I don't see why not."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Done?"

"It's hardly rational."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"We don't have a job anymore."

"Says you."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He just blinked.

"You're supposed to be the one with the superior mind. Don't just do things because you think they will make me happier."
