Hitsugaya left the chapel no less frustrated than before. The head doctor once again had chosen not to hide his face, yet promised he would be making an appearance at some time in the near future. He didn't like being patient, but there wasn't much choice. Either the head doctor would show his face, or he wouldn't. Renji had already seen him, and knew how to find him. That was enough.

The thought of eating made him slightly nauseous as usual, but he knew he needed to get his strength up. He could either be weak and try to force his way through brunch without eating anything, or he could be smart and actually give himself something to eat. And there was rice. Rice and fruit. He took a heaping pile of rice, and grabbed as much watermelon as he could fit on his plate, then proceeded to an empty table. He scanned the room, watching for Momo. He wasn't exactly looking forward to their conversation, knowing how she'd acted yesterday; however, he knew he had to speak to her, and there was a good chance that she would show more restraint now that the drugs were out of her system.

Thoughtfully he consumed his rice and waited.

"My costume was waiting for me when I woke up this morning. Did they return yours to you as well?" Statesman wasn't quite sure what sort of spider-themed costume Parker would have.

All he could picture was the menacing red and black leather of Arachnos.

It figured that he would have come out with a question like that next. Considering that Statesman knew way too much about him already, Peter got the feeling that it wouldn't be so horrible if he responded with a half-lie.

"I didn't check, but I'll make sure to tonight." He made sure to look properly intrigued by the concept of having his costume back, and he truly was glad, but he wasn't sure he wanted Statesman knowing any of the details. He had been exposed enough already, and he was kind of hoping he could start covering his tracks again.

Well, if Spiderman did have his costume back, Statesman would probably know soon enough. His room was in the same hallway as Parker's, and there was a good chance he would see the kid at night.

It would certainly be interesting to have costumed Heroes running around Landels at night. While he was glad that his team wasn't here, he couldn't help but miss them.

Manticore and Sister Psyche were probably busy planning their wedding and fighting of Rikti. Hopefully someone would realize that he'd gone missing, abducted to another dimension. Again.

The again made him grimace just slightly. This place was certainly treating him much better than his evil counter-part had, at least. Not that Tyrant had been able to actually do much to him. Statesman didn't quite realize that he was frowning as he stared off at a wall, still eating his food automatically.

It seemed their conversation had come to an end, if Statesman had run out of things to say. Peter continued working on his sandwich and glanced around the room at the other patients. He had definitely met a strange assortment of people here, and he wasn't sure he could say he felt close to anyone. The closest was Logan, who he didn't even really know (but he had to take that on the other man's word), and then Brock, who only counted because they had actually known each other before this.

It was just a little depressing to realize that those were his options for "friends" here at Landel's, but that didn't mean that he was going to lose hope. Logan seemed willing and ready to get things done, at least, but Peter was starting to accept that what they were trying to accomplish was going to take a long time.

Visitor shift was next, wasn't it? Peter knew he didn't have any family or friends he wanted to see here. While he was sure MJ and his aunt were worried about him, he didn't think it would be any good for them to see him in this place.
