Race Around The World
Powers-wise... yup, was right about the old. Really old. Tastes like chicken, sort of... bland? Must be all the contraints. I wonder if some of the other Chinese cities would be different? And Tiananmen Square gave me a headache. Just a little one. Governments shouldn't try and kill their own people - it messes with the energy of the place.

Plot
Doug, Amanda and Marie-Ange have been working together and separately to figure out what energy it was Amanda's mutant powers are absorbing. Doug came up with a theory that it was urban centres that were somehow triggering her.
Amanda and Doug visited several cities spread across four continents to test her reactions to those cities. At the same time, they were performing courier/contact duties for Remy, liasing with the various overseas Guild networks following Drop of Nightshade No danger, but requiring a certain degree of tact and subtlety as well as not compromising or backing down.
Cities: Beijing, Sydney, Madrid, Paris, Johannesburg and Cairo. Amanda felt a 'charge' from all of these places, although to different degrees - Sydney, for example, is fairly mild compared to Cairo, but still registers a charge because it is an important centre in Australia, with elements of the Dreaming and various immigrant cultures tied in. In Beijing, whilst visiting Tianneman Square, Amanda feels the 'wrongness' of the events that occurred there, albeit not as strongly as she felt San Diego - comparative city trauma.
