Pyro was lying passed out on the sofa, one arm draped over the side, brushing the floor. He snored softly, a little drool falling from his mouth. With a snort he woke himself up, blinking rapidly.

“So, you were sleeping,” Pietro said from one of the plush chairs that flanked the sofa, leaning over to tap at one of the laptops, “I thought Rogue had absorbed you again.”

“No, mate,” Pyro rubbed his face and sat up, stretching a bit, “I just closed my eyes for a minute,” he checked his watch, “or an hour or two-ish.”

“I finished the data sort,” Pietro said without looking up, “you did a good job, found what we were looking for.”

“Oh, brill,” the Aussie stood and a light popping could be heard as his spine realigned, “I think I’ll leave the rest to you then and go get some real sleep.”

“Sure,” Pietro responded absentmindedly.

Pyro made his way around the sofa and got to the bottom of the stairs before the speedster called out, “Hey, St John.”

“Pietro,” he asked warily, it wasn’t often anyone called him by his given name.

“I haven’t been around much lately,” he admitted bluntly, “I am to understand my absences are bothersome to you and Dom.”

“Dom don’t fret much,” Pyro told him, “but he don’t know you like I do. He don’t realize just how much unlike you this is. You got a secret you’re hiding, a big one, the kind of thing that is going to cause big problems, one way or another.”

“You always were more perceptive than many gave you credit for,” Pietro sighed and glanced up from the laptop, “would it help if I told you it’s worse than you believe but not as bad as you fear?”

“Since you’re the one telling me,” Pyro took a moment to decide, then gave his friend a small smile, “yeah, it does.”

Pietro looked to respond, but ended up nodding before going back to the laptop. Returning the gesture, Pyro headed up the stairwell to his room.

Not long later, Pietro’s phone buzzed. Not his ‘work’ phone, but one he kept specifically for one purpose only. Picking it up, it was a text alert… the sender’s name: Crystal.

“I was thinking we could try that new Cantonese place this weekend”, the text said.

Pietro considered it for what was only a moment to everyone else, but almost hours to him, then he texted back, “Sounds good.”

Tucking the phone away, Rogue was right, this was a very dangerous game he was playing.
