Coming to the notice of the enigmatic New Son, the mutant known as Courier is employed to retrieve Quiet Bill and his friend Huey. The New Son sought to employ Bill's talent to find a dimension to which he could flee.

Famous quotes containing the words quiet and/or bill:
“Cotton Mather died when I was a boy. The books
He read, all day, all night and all the nights,
Had got him nowhere. There was always the doubt,
That made him preach the louder, long for a church
In which his voice would roll its cadences,
After the sermon, to quiet that mouse in the wall.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“It’s true I’ve got no shirts to wear;
It’s true my butcher’s bill is due;
It’s true my prospects all look blue—
But don’t let that unsettle you:”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
