[Sodium_noir] Whispers of the Past

[Bill]

John, Abby
Beneath Mike's Place

In numerous glass cases rested a wanted poster and 2
Colt peace-keepers, a World War I doughboy uniform,
the arming and clothing of a Roman Legionaire, and so
on.

And this was just the beginning.
 
Abby just stood, her eyes darting about.
Oh Mother! Look at all this!!!
She turns from all the Wonders and looks up at him.
Green eyes staring into Brown.
And wonders who is looking back.
 
 John walked over to one of the chairs, a soft black leather one that seemed to want to swallow him up.  There was a small table in front of it, with a couch to its right.  On the table were two classes and a bottle of what appeared to be bourbon.  John spoke as he poured them drinks.

"To say I am old would be an understatement.  I have been alive for a long long time.  Ocassionally I die and rest while my soul travels the lands of the dead, and then I return and live some more.  I returned to the lands of the living three years ago, and have only just acclimated to this new day and age.  I came to Gotham because it was as good a place as any to be."

He didn't say that he knew what she was.  It would be rude, and put her on the defensive, maybe make her feel threatened.  Better to let her tell her story when she was ready.
