Summary: Pre-issue #1 of Ultimate X-Men, a snapshot in the life of car theif Ororo Monroe.

Some people had weird quirks, Ororo thought, watching him relock his car for the third time. It didn't make a difference to her - the Buick was going to end up in a chop shop in 30 minutes no matter how many times he clicked that remote. But first...

She followed him through the train station, her conspicuous hair braided and tucked into her jacket. When the crowd was thick enough, she bumped him from behind and disappeared into the mass of people.

Digging through his wallet after, she grinned and pulled out his ticket. "Guess he missed his train."
