It had been a glorious day, one day in Roberta's life where there was no traces of Robin or their powers. One day where Roberta could forget them and feel comfortable. She had left the studio where she was working in another low down project. Still the dress was pretty fabulous. A deep purple, silk, dress with a slit from the waist down revealing her right, black-tighted, leg as she walked. It was kinda seductive in a sense, the dress was tight around her breast making them stand out as well as making the dress look unwrinkled at the top. Simple black, heel shoes to wear.
She smiled making her way to the park, the feeling of dresses wrapped around her always made her feel comfortable and proud. She sat upon the park bench, wrapping the skirt round her legs to prevent them being revealed to public before laying back and gazing at the lightly clouded sky. The background noise of the city only made her feel more comfortable, everything around her felt like an object that gave her more strength. She laughed with a daft question in her head wondering if someone had drugged her, before returning to the sky, her eyes shut this time.

Cable was in one of those moods. he floated high above the city looking down at it. He could hear every ones thoughts on earth and yet he did not know if he should do it again. he could hear people calling out asking him to help them save them like he had before. they were turning him in to a god some one they preyed to. He looked down in to the park were hope was. She was getting older by the day and he was old man now. Still since they came back his powers had come back. he had not risked using them to much after all he knew were that had lead. He watched hope playing in the park. slowly he started to lower him self down so he could talk to her.
Hope Summers was playing close to a woman who started to laugh for no reason. "Hello whats so funny?" the ten year old girl asked as she sat down beside the woman at the bench.

Roberta lifted her head and tilted it down to the girl sat beside her. Her hair beginning to sway in the tune of the summers breese. "Hmmm? Ahh just discovering the sunlight for the first time in a long while." She paused for a moment thinking about what she had said.
"Talking in metaphor obviously." She corrected herself. "Shouldn't you be playing or with your parents. I doubt they'd be so thrilled for you to be talking to strangers such as myself." She finished in a calm but stern voice.

"why are you going to try and kill me or something? Because Nathan would stop you he probably kill you before you even thought about it. " most kids would not of come up with that sort of answer but most of them had never lived the way hope had for so long. she looked at the woman she was strange why had she not had seen the sun that much.
Cable floated in the air. he was using his powers so no one could see him apart from hope. it was not that he wanted to hide but he did not whant any one to start hey look there cable the savor, stuff specaly when hope was around. to day was abut her being a normal 10 year old.

Roberta squinted her eyes at her and focused on her it seemed. Without thinking she asked.
"...Robin?"
It sounded like her in some way, frighteningly like her. It took several moments to realise the mention of another name. Nathen....That was a person Robin never spoke about, therefore it could not be her...in anyway.
Still it was disturbing that there was another child with the same thoughts as Robin. Shaking her head clear she asks.
"Sorry, who are you?"

"Hope summers." she spoke her name like a fact, she was not afraid she knew if anything went wrong Nate would be here in seconds. he was probably in the woman head any way scanning for any aggressive thought. he could be a bit over protective at times. even though he could be protective she still loved him like a father after all that's what he had been.
Cable scanned the woman's thoughts if she even for a second thought about hurting hope he would lobotomist her before she could act on it. he did not make him self known or even move he just watched from the sky.

"Huh.....Interesting name." She said have attentive to the girl while her mind swayed back and forth in a pendulum of comfusion caused by her own self. Finally returning fully back into focus of the little girl she smiled and spoke. "It's a beautiful name. I'm Roberta." She said offering her hand casually to shake hers. "I wear pretty dresses and get pictures taken."

"Your a model then?" Hope had lived in a rough world she seen war and death but she was far from stupid. she looked at the woman "Are you talking to some one else. Nathan dose that kind of face when he talking to some one somewhere else?" slowly she looked around in the sky she could see the man people called cable but as much as she called him Nate he was dad as well. After all he did everything a father should do. she shielded her eyes so she could look at him better.

Roberta gave a puzzled glance at her. Not only was she making no sense with her words, but she also was referring to someone who was no where around. Quizzingly she followed the girls eyes to the sky, using her hand to shield the light of the sun and sky. After several minutes she finally asked. "Whats up there?"
She couldn't help but feel that the girl was a little lost in this world.

"Nate is up there, he just dose not want any one to see him so they cant. He watching us probably he in your head so if you decide to hurt me he can stop you."
Cable laughed not that any one could hear him. He loved hope she was innocent and did not understand that not every one knew how telepathic person could hide them self like he could. he promised hope he never hide from her and he kept his word. he started lowering him self to the ground.
"Hope she cant see or hear me, because i choose not to let her." his feat touched the ground and he walked towards her. Hope face light up as he walked towards her.
Hope cleared her throat.
"Well that's just mean Nate." She spoke out aloud as she looked ta the man that was not there.

Roberta followed Hopes eyes towards the ground not far to where they were standing. Clearly knowing that nothing was there she couldn't help feel paranoia building up from her stomach, pouring up to the mind, her mind. Sitting tall she peered over to the girl to get a better view. Still nothing there. She laughed a nervous laugh within herself to shake the doubt off before humoring the girl.
"Could you tell Mr. Nate to get out of my head please. It's impolite and holds things that he is not in-titled to see."
like a pervert, she finished off in her head.
She felt a sting of concern, this was a vulnerable child and there has been no adult watching her. no parent no nothing.
Was she a run away?

"Well its not like its anything i not sen before." slowly out of no were The mutant messiah known as cable appeared. Hope ran in to his arms and he lifted her in to the air. He could hear people mumbling all ready. he was famous after all he had saved the world from him self. A woman walked towards him.
"Mr Cable? i want to thank you for helping my father die in peace. with out you he would of been in so much pain." cable shock the woman hand.
cable smiled and spoke "It was nothing it was not fair he was in pain, i just wish there was more i could of done, but there was so many people that needed my help." the woman walked away. It was moments like that, that had proven he had done right by the world maybe it was time to try again.

Roberta jumped out of skin dramatically as she lurched back screaming in shock, rolling off the bench and to the floor. There was a slight rip noise made but unnoticed by Roberta as she stared from the floor up to the appearing man. He was big....and really really old. But more the fear of his sudden current existence. Did she just suddenly lose it?
Roberta finally got up and looked at the figure, before looking nervously at the girl and spoke to her while pointing at the man. there was a frightful tone in her voice indicating her want to scream through confusion.
"Is....Is here really here? Or...have i just run into a world where childrens' imagination are to suddenly come alive and take over existence." Her tone started to get an inch of aggression but all in the the fright of the unknown of what appeared before her. She honestly believed she was going mad. She started using her arms and body language to illustrate her words and enforce them more
"Am i to suddenly expect to easter bunny to burst out of the pond over there. Am i suddenly to be tossed onto santa's lap as gingerbread men tie me up."
It did not appear to her that what she was saying was talking absolute rubbish.
"Is Robin gonna come out of nowhere and take over my very own life." Forgetting that no one knew who she was talking about

"Yes here is here. No none of those thing will happen." he watched her ranting on. "My name is Nathan summers or cable." he held the girl in his arms tightly. "I am a telepath. And have the ablity to make people see what i want or not see me at all." he looked at the woman with interest. " Its the safest way to watch over Hope with out having people question me about things." his eye glowing as he spoke. A few moments later the crowd that had been gathering started to walk away.
"For example they do not register that we are worth looking at as far as they know there no point in them standing watching. Apart from me and hope no one is watching you frail your arms around and taking gibberish."
Hope laughed as cable spoke. the woman was talking strange but she like the idea of it all.

Roberta stopped and glared at him. Her hands slowly dropping to her side before losing tension and just dangling. Her hair was now rioting from the wind slowly creeping up and building speed unnoticed. Her fringe lose from the hairs design waves passed her eyes taunting her to brush it past. But she was frozen, she felt cold in pit starring up at the larger world that felt to be looking down back at her. This was a massive thrust of reality, and it only reminded her of what she was. Tears were swelling and like any human, she did not wanna cry in public.
"Look....This is a bit much for me to.....take'in" She suddenly ran behind the nearest tree and released the tension of the tears she was holding back but leaking through. She wasn't fully sure why she was crying, only that she had to. A while longer and she could at least face the public again, although in desperate need of a tissue. She touched her checks and found black ink on her hands from her make up. It wasn't like her to act this way. But then she hated everything she represent. The grim reaper more or less.
