When the time came to travel north and meet with Matthew Donohue, they took Sierra's car since it was newer and had less mileage on it. Nathan was so rarely a passenger in other people's cars that it was a bit strange to be sitting anywhere but the driver's seat.
"Are you sure you can take this much time off for my sake?" she asked a bit hesitantly after they had been on the road for a few minutes. "Don't you have a deadline to meet soon?"
He shook his head. "I'm good for a while; I had a random burst of inspiration and stayed up until 4 AM writing a few days ago. That should be enough to tide me over until I get back to it. This trip is entirely focused on superpower research and getting you taken care of."
"Four AM?! How often does that happen?"
"Not terribly often. If I stay up late writing, I usually stop by two. It's kind of hard to keep going once my eyes start to blur, inspiration or not."
