Video: Quicksilver Delivery Service

[Pietro is leaning back in a chair, communicator clearly propped on a table or something to shoot the video.]

So, now that I'm back and everything's all... civilized again, I thought I'd give this going legit thing a try. You know. For the laughs.

To make this simple, I'm the fastest guy around. You need something delivered? I'm who you want. I can get things where they need to be faster than anything this place offers, and more... heh, shall we say discreetly, too?

I'm easy to find. Through the Network or here. I live with Wagner and Tolansky. My rates are flexible. We'll talk.

The question isn't are you fast, it's are you reliable?

When I decide to do something, I do it right. But whatever I say, you won't have anything more than my word unless you give me a shot.

Which leaves you with a large claim, and very little proof.

[There's a brief flicker of wry amusement through his expression.]

Particularly when it comes to discretion.

He's not reliable at all! He's just a big jerk!

[There's annoyance and a tiny bit of panic in there, because Todd is not going to let Pietro steal his job, okay! Especially not with the guy who's actually kinda-sorta nice to him!]

Aw, chill, Tolansky. I'm not after your job. Keep doing... whatever it is you do. I'll take the long hauls.

Whaddaya take me for, man?

A guy who gets bored easy and don't got a whole lot of morals?

Takes one to know one, Toad.

A friend of yours?

[Edmund sounds amused - no real surprise there.]

Sorta. He's from where I'm from. We're on the same team. He's supposed to be the leader, cuz his dad said he was, but he does bum job at it.

[There's a little nastiness there, sure, but a little actual truth. Sorry, Pietro.]

Look look look, at least try to refrain from making assumptions. I know when to keep my mouth shut.

That you claim more than you've demonstrated isn't an assumption.

Whatever. Let me be blunt. I can get around the city - and almost anywhere else, for that matter - faster than any vehicle I've seen around since I woke up. That sounds useful enough to you to take the "risk" [He actually uses air quotes] of trying out my services? We'll work something out. If you're wasting my time, I'm done here.

[He's not quite as recognizable as Nightcrawler. But he's living with them so she should check.]

When you say the fastest...

They don't call me Quicksilver for nothing, kid.

[He grins cockily]

Oh, you are Quicksilver!

[She wanted to check is all]

Are you from Kurt's place too?

You... know who I am? What, you an X-geek, too?

Yeah, far as I know, he's from my future. Todd's from my past. Gets confusing if you ask me.

Tell me about it. I'm a mutant but none of you are even from the same world as me.

[It sounded weird, but so did her entire life]

Tell me about it. I'm the one with a twin sister who's years older than me. And from a different universe... timeline... thing.

[He squints at the video screen]

Mutant, huh? You don't look familiar, so I don't think I know... any version of you.
