[ It takes him, perhaps unsurprisingly given the trail of their talk, back to his childhood home. Maybe Henry doesn’t recognize the place or the time period, since he was either locked up in a lab or wandering around in an alternate dimension at the time, but Alec’s brain will helpfully supply the missing pieces.
Chicago, Illinois. 1977.
The Sears Tower, then only four years old and boasting the title of tallest building in the world, looms in the distance, an impossibly dark silhouette against a backdrop of dark storm clouds. The sky churns, clouds roiling, flashing bright with lightning and distant low thunder rumbling like a threat. It’s not raining. The storm appears to be caught, held high in the sky and waiting for its moment to spill forth. Like a held breath.
Henry will find himself in a dingy, run-down part of town far from the beating heart of the city. The place is falling apart. Homes and businesses sit in various states of disrepair, some even boarded up, people lurk in alleys, a dog barks in the distance. The building before Henry is a battered, two story affair. A rusted, battered garage door stands partially open. A flickering sign bolted to the building reads Mechanic. ]
