     She shouldn’t have been driving, that’s for sure. Much less a bike. But she wasn’t about to call a cab when she was pretty much covered in blood. So she took it easy, made her way back at a safe speed, keeping in mind that she could stop and take a break if needed. Eventually she crossed the gates of mansion and parked to the side, climbing off her harley with a bit of difficulty. She’d have to clean away the dry blood that rubbed off on it later.

Surely, Logan and anyone else with an acute sense of smell would have picked up the coppery scent from miles away. And she really should get the wounds properly checked. But she was too raw to face anyone just yet, still choked up by the development in her relationship with Wade. Instead of going inside and heading to the medical wing, she walked along the pathway that Piotr had shown her the day she was meant to visit SHIELD’s headquarters.

Getting there took a little longer than she expected given her state, but as soon as the treeline opened up and gave way to the lake, Angel felt a wave of calm instantly washing over her, the crisp scent of the leaves mixing with the smell of water in the air. Walking a little closer, she sat down on the ground with a wince and a soundly groan, sinking her fingers on the earth.

On the campaign trail, Andrew Romanoff (D-CO) has repeatedly decried the hyper-partisanship in Washington. During remarks in Denver, CO last March, Romanoff said what Congress and the country need now “are men and women of good will who will take an oath not to a political party, but the constitution and their conscience and their constituents.”

But it’s hard to take Romanoff seriously when he appears to be the darling of national Democrats. Today, former Democrat governor, presidential candidate and DNC Chairman Howard Dean joins Romanoff for a fundraiser party in Aurora. Dean joins a growing list of establishment Democrats lining up behind Romanoff. Last fall, both House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and longtime Democrat stalwart and former Representative Barney Frank (D-MA) attended campaign fundraisers for him.

It’s pretty clear to whom Romanoff has taken an oath, and it’s not the voters of Colorado’s 6th district.
