[It's a new guy who some people might recognize from the Cancerverse field trip, except he's now clean-shaven and doesn't look like he's just come from spending years wandering around a hell dimension.]

Very serious question: what's the best bar around here?

[Pete doesn't need a drink. He just wants a drink.]

[private to Rich]

Pick up the phone, man.

[His quarters aren't that much of a mess. He's got people that care about him, from friends to Legion staff members, and people have been keeping his room clean, checking on him. The TV remote's within arm's reach, his omnicom is there too, loaded with media.]

[When Peter comes in, he's laying on the couch, wrapped in blankets. The TV is off. The lights are only on because the last person that checked on him left them that way. He hasn't shaved in few days and there are circles under his eyes. (His sleep has been restless and there hasn't been a break in the nightmares.)]

[Peter has only ever seen him moving. The only times he ever stopped were when he was straight up unconscious or half-dead, recovering from getting blown up or beaten down. And he'd always been antsy while recovering, raring to get back on his feet and back into the action.]

[Right now he's just very quiet and still, and those still waters run deep.]

Hey.

[It's barely more than a whisper.]

[He responds to the command with the obedience of a small child. It's like the idea of sitting up and taking care of himself, of moving and talking and being a person, isn't even occurring to him as an option.]

[Every gesture is slow, like it's a struggle to have the energy to even move. His mental energy is sapped and he feels like he's constantly struggling to move through running water.]

[He manages to sit up on the couch and face Peter, but when he does it's still almost like he's looking through him, like he's barely there.]

[For a second he wants to say that he feels like hell but the effort it would take is too much for him to force past his lips. This is why he's been relying so heavily on texting. It's easy to do while barely moving, a way of talking to others despite feeling like a vegetable.]
