Easier to get your car back together first thing in the morning, and decide things from there.Late as it is and after everything you've been through, right now you'd just like to find a place to rest as easily and quickly as possible. And from where you are driving currently, that would be Carter's place. Of course he doesn't object to you coming over to stay with him though he certainly hadn't expected it.
<span class="mu-b">"Wowow! You live better here than my whole house back in Mal- erm, back home."</span>
<span class="mu-s">"Well it's not really mine like I said, I'm just taking care of it for my friend. Same as the boat."</span>
Thankfully it doesn't take long then to drive back to his own residential high-rise near downtown, park and head inside to take elevator up, and come to marvel at the high end condo he has. Or, the company has, that he's just minding in the meantime. But even if the deed is not in his name, he's still living the high life here which you can't help but be a little jealous of; for you this was supposed to be a nice little vacation to get out of town. You get to live it up for a week and then it's back to your normal life. For Carter though it's like 24/7 living it up!
Maybe you got into the wrong business, the wrong sort of crime. Ah, but then you wouldn't be able to make grand villainous speeches, and isn't that what it's all about really at the end of the day?
<span class="mu-s">"Kitchen, whatever you want to eat or drink, living room, whatever you want to do. There's also services at all times if you need anything..."</span>
<span class="mu-b">"And what, you're sleeping on the couch? Because I want a bed."</span>
<span class="mu-s">"I mean, I don't... have to sleep on the couch... but there's more than one bedroom."</span>
Wow, this really is a nice place. Not as luxuriously expensive as the resort you're staying at, or the secret society manor back in Malton, you have seen better places yourself in your time than this. But it's nothing to sneeze at, and as said you're quite jealous for what a nice little life Carter's got going for him here. Won't last forever by the sound of things, some more years until his friend is out of prison and then they'll have to figure out what their plan is from there.
But he's had and will have much more time enjoying things here, than your entire supervillain career yet. You choose not to dwell on it too much though, for all the stress and trouble of the last two days. You're here, with your own room and a bed, and hoping to get a hard-earned good night's sleep.
Hoping to that is. There are, well... other things you could get up to here at his place for the night... but yes, you'll settle just for sleep. For now.
