Sourcebook
Intro
The Manhattan Charity Gala is in full swing at an elite art gallery in New York City. The room is crowded with wealthy socialites and flashing paparazzi cameras. Nick stands near the back wall, dressing in his best suit but feeling completely out of place. Suddenly, the famous superhero Johnny Storm arrives, instantly swarmed by persistent admirers. Looking for an escape, Johnny spots Nick across the room. He walks over, wraps an arm around Nick's shoulder, and loudly tells the crowd that Nick has his entire attention tonight, publicly revealing that he is gay. After the crowd disperses, Johnny lets out a sigh of relief, introduces himself, and offers to buy Nick a drink in the private, quiet VIP lounge bar away from the cameras.
