On the roof top of a coffee shop known as "Cup of Joe", a 20 year old young man suddenly appeared wearing one of those cell phones you wear on you ear. "The tracking device seems to be working Ken, so feel free to do whatever you want for now" said a voice coming from the phone. The man known as smiled at the though of relaxing in this seemingly peaceful county, after all the people who ran Weapon X wanted to keep tabs on him in one of their bases. But now that there was a tracking device in his body, all they always knew his location giving him more time to do what he wants.
As a gust of wind blew by him, Ken couldn't help but shudder as even his black jacket couldn't protect him from the cold for that long. He would then put the cell phone in his pocket and placed his sheath katana on the roof knowing full well that it was probably a bad idea to bring a weapon like that where he's going. He would then suddenly disappeared as he teleported and appeared in front of the coffee shop's doors. He would then walk inside of the building welcomed by the fresh aroma of coffee, heat and a long line....

Come on, let's move people. Psylocke's voice transmitted into the minds of the people in the line. They line started going a little quicker, but not by much. She stood there, in a deep brown jacket with her purple scarf around her neck. Her black-purple hair had been pulled over her shoulder, and she wore a bit of make-up on her beautiful half caucasian half asian features. She sighed. These people were always so slow, and this shop's service wasn't the best.
Four people in front of Ken Smith, Betsy stood. She didn't pay any attention, she was transfixed on getting her latte. She flashed her bright white teeth as it became her turn to order, and she quickly got her drink, and went to sit down, by the window.

Ken really didn't pay too much attention to the woman in front of him and when it was his turn to order, he ordered his coffee which he received in a large paper cup with the "Cup of Joe" logo. Shortly after he got and paid for his coffee, Ken looked around the room and noticed that the only seat available was at the table the woman was sitting at.
Ken would then walk up to Betsy's table and asked as he pointed at the empty seat "Excuse me, do you mind if I sit there?"

Betsy had opened a book in the meantime, and had jumped when Ken had approached her. She looked around the shop, seeing that there was no other place for him to settle, and decided that she was in an unusual pleasant mood.
"Go right ahead, please yourself," She gestured towards the seat facing her, and sipped her coffee slowly. When he sat, she decided he looked rather sketchy. Better probe him, Psylocke thought to herself, and began looking into his thoughts, mind, and privacy.

"Thanks" said Ken as he took the seat in front of her. Shortly after he sat down, he took a sip from his drink while Betsy was probing his mind. As Betsy probed his mind, she would see images of him being trained as a member of Weapon X, his power absorption ability, the recent abilities that were pooled into him and the fact that he had a katana made from the strongest metal on Earth right on the very rooftop of the building they were in. She would also learn that he has a desert eagle on him, but the fact that he wasn't here to kill anybody would tell her that he means no harm.
"This coffee here is pretty good" said Ken right before he took a small sip from his coffee wanting to savor it as long as possible.

She seemed spaced out, reading his thoughts. She found it scary and interesting that he was part of weapon X, and his abilities were...dangerous. She reminded herself not to touch him. She looked up, confused, barely registering the comment Ken made about the coffee. She turned to him.
"I suppose, yes," She shrugged, her British accent ringing in her voice, which must have looked odd on her. "What's your name?" She asked.

As Ken listened to the woman, he couldn't help but notice that she had a British accent. After all, she did appear to be asian due to her skin tone, but to him it felt like it suited her quite well. That's because she seemed very mature to him despite the 3 or 4 year gap in their ages and from the overall vibe he was getting from her. But he preferred women that were mature mentally, especially with his line or work.
"My name is Ken Smith, what's yours?" as Ken before taking another small sip from his coffee.

She knew he noticed the British accent, it was the only thing she had left from her old life. Before she took this woman's body, before she was an X-Man. During the Hydra mission gone bad.
She smiled. Her name was British as well. "Elizabeth Braddock." She said, the accent matching perfectly with every syllable.
((It's 3 years.))

"Nice to meet you Elizabeth. So, did you move here or are you here on business like me?" asked Ken. He of course made the educated guess from her accent that she was from England and if he had to guess, she was here on business. After all, she was giving off the vibe that she was here on business. As Ken waited for her to respond he couldn't help but notice that her eyes were purple which went well with her dark violet hair, The thought did cross his mind about telling that he liked it, but he didn't want to give off the impression that he was hitting on her. After all she was a beautiful woman.

"I.... you could say it's business. But I've made the move, and don't plan on going back. Let's just say..." She noticed that he took note of her purple eyes. They flared for a moment, and now, in his eyes, they looked brown. A simple mental illusion, yet it's effective. She hoped he thought he was just seeing things. "...I'm a new person, now."

That's weird, I could have sworn I just saw that her eye color was purple thought Ken shortly after her eyes changed from purple to brown. Ken would then shake that thought out of his mind as Betsy told him that she was no a new person. "What do you mean by new person? If it's something you don't want to talk about, you don't have to if you don't want to" said Ken getting the feeling that this woman had a shady questionable past.

She stiffened. "Oh, nothing. It's nothing to be concerned about. Now, what about you? What business are you here on?" Betsy asked, wondering if he would tell the truth. She would know if he did or not. She was a telepath, after all.

"Well, I'm just testing some kind of device developed by some random government agency. It seems to be working fine, so I should be leaving here soon" said Ken being as vague as possible about what he was doing while still telling her the truth. After all, Weapon X was a top secret program and if he had to guess, revealing it's existence might be just as bad as revealing top secret government information.

She looked at him, trying to signal that she knew. But she didn't want to make it too obvious. That would be weird, that she probed his mind and he didn't know. He probably had some secrets, so she didn't go any farther into his mind then she should have, but still enough that she knew why he was here, and what he was doing.
"That's.. interesting. Dare my asking, what does this device do?" She asked, acting completely naive and innocent, fluttering her eyelashes.

"It's basically a tracking device that can track a person's whereabouts at anywhere, anytime. Including the most remote locations The device is implanted into the person's skin and runs on the electrical signals the body produces. So if you die, the device loses power" explained Ken who was falling for Betsy's naive act.
