Hotaru made it back to town, dropped out of school, packed up, broke her lease, and listened to lectures by her parents for at least six hours, over the course of a week, before she was finally ready to go.

Shimmer showed up, having given her a sheet with a drawing on it, and instructions to hang it up on a wall with nothing in front of it when she was ready.

When she was, she called the number, and waited. An hour later, Shimmer materialized in the room, and then looked around at the packed up boxes. "Oh good lord, I'm not a pack mule! G-man can come and grab most of this stuff. Two suitcases, clothes and overnight stuff only." She forces Hotaru to pick two suitcases, and then with a thwip they appear in a room somewhere else. Leading Hotaru out into the hallway, she points to a winged woman and a black sludgelike humanoid figure. "Wing girl, and Sludgeman, Radio-girl. Radio-girl, Wing girl, Sludgeman. Thanks for the keys..." She holds up Hotaru's house keys, and then shimmers and vanishes.

Sinclair Sighs annoyed at having to wait even longer for any answers."Any chance you'd just tell me where you are and I could just go to you?"

if she says no"Figured. Fine I'll be the Hyatt have whoever you send ask for Griffin." After the phone call she'd head to listed hotel and check in. "Something on the ground floor if you have it should only be here a few days, if someone comes asking about Griffin send them to my room.

When Shimmer disappears, Whippoorwill shrugs and spreads her hands. "It's like this around here. They might be more forthcoming with you. But they've been tight with information so far." Reluctantly they fold back behind her. "Sorry," she says opening her eyes and looking at Goo. "They really need to stretch."

Goo responds, “I don’t think they will be more forthcoming witH ME.” “Are you a prisonEr?” He asks.

Looking at the wings, “They are prettY.”

Hotaru laughs aloud, shaking her head. Her voice had a slightly southern twang, but a lot of it was replaced with a midwestern 'radio and television' accent. "Isn't Shimmer amazing?" she asks, then pays more attention to 'Wing Girl' and 'Sludgeman.' "You guys really need better nicknames. I'm Pulse, by the way." she says, starting to extend her hand. "Ano... it is safe to touch you both, right?" and if she gets the affirmative, she continues reaching out. "I do electromagnetic stuff. Radio waves and the like. I'm guessing you fly, and you... goop." she says with a broad grin.

Hotaru had her black hair done in twin-tails that dipped down to below her shoulders, which completely eliminated the purpose of the silver-white with orange-hemmed hoodie. Plain jeans were below that. Her skin was somewhere between olive and two-cream coffee, and her eyes were the color of brass - gold and brown, they were slightly slanted, her lips were thin, and she was positively a lightweight, below five-six and probably below a hundred and twenty pounds.

Her two suitcases were well-prepared. She'd spent time learning about all of this stuff over the last few days, and she'd found that fitting three sets of clothes and small personal care products into every bag was significantly better. You know, in case something was lost in a flight.

Aegis:

The Hyatt isn't the top of the line, but it is nice enough. Apparently, her former paramour rented the cabin in his own name, and nobody saw them in town. She should have thought that strange perhaps, but the plot to have her possibly vanish at the cabin works in her favor now, as there's nothing to tie her to the cabin's destruction.

The next day, as she's on the phone with her assistant, making sure the locks on her apartment are changed, there is a knock on the door.

Looking through the peephole, she see's a blonde woman standing there, wearing mirrored shades.

When the door is opened, the woman tilts her head. "Griffen? Dead Man told me I should talk to you..."

"Griffen will work for now, at least until I get some answers about whats going on. Dead man, Zhombei you people really like dead things huh?" Sinclair sat on her bed waiting expectantly for the woman to explain herself.

"To call me a prisoner would imply that they want me here. It's complicated." She blushes at the compliment and her wings flex self-consciously.

"Same thing... Same person. People here you talking about zombies, they think you're nuts... or worse... a sci fi fan." She says, closing the door behind her. She keeps the shades on, but moves to take a seat.

"So, you called, I assume you have questions. All I got out of Z was that you were not human, something about metal skin maybe, resistance to drugs, or just really healthy, that happens a lot."

The winged woman folds her arms across her chest and the wings themselves twitch agitatedly. "It's Whippoorwill, actually." Then she takes Pulse's hand and shakes it.

"What's with... the -" she pauses to put her fingers together and then spreads them out, widening vertically, "Talky thing?" asking the question unabashedly. She was indeed on the young side, at nineteen. "What do you mean by 'Goop Yourself', exactly?" Despite the confusion, the stupid grin doesn't go away, she doesn't retract her hand, just yet, instead, moving it back into a shaking position, after shaking hands with Whippoorwill.

"Neat! Do they work for flying or just gliding? Are you equipped for high altitude?" she asks, excitedly. "Can you carry people?"

Goo smiles at Pulse’s unrestrained curiosity, “I am still learning how to talk aGAIN.” “I don’t think I have luNGS.” “So it makes it harder to taLK.”

Goo begins to pace with his hands behind his back as he tries to explain his powers, “I am made of goo or sludge if you prefER.” “I am still trying to figure out what I can do mySELF.”

Tuning to Pulse he asks, “What can you dO.”

Whippoorwill appears to be in the upper range of her twenties, or perhaps her lower thirties, and her body is lean and muscled. Her eyes have a hard edge to them, belying them having seen a lot.

At Pulse's question, her wings take a few beats that just about throws her into the wall. There's strain in her voice as she answers, "I don't know yet. They're... new."

She folds them behind her. She looks at Pulse with a smile through the effort. "And they really want to fly."

"Oh, neat. I guess you don't. Does that mean you don't have to breathe?" she says, with a quick segue. "Well, first, what I can't do. I can't be around important electronics. At all. I also can't do heat all that well. I can read radio waves, and communicate through them. I can -also- get sent flying through walls. I can also break electronics on purpose, not just on accident!" she says, responding to Goo.

"Cool. Errr... what do you mean new? I guess you weren't born with them, then?" she winces, "Oh wow. Please tell me they grew out like hair." she says, nose scrunched slightly. "Maybe we can go see about the flying thing, later?"

"So, you're a walking EMP? That's useful, if not also damned inconvenient," she says.

Whippoorwill's head would have spun more just a short while ago talking with these individuals, had she not recently had her ass handed to her by a marble statue with an attitude and found herself with two new limbs that screamed for some exercise. As it was, she rather marveled at how she was accepting the claims of Pulse and the walking test tube.

"Born with them?" As if. And no, it was a pretty messy affair when they appeared. I'm actually somewhat glad I was nearly beaten unconscious during it."

Goo silently listens to the woman talk a little self-conscious about his voice. He excitedly responds to Pulse’s question, “No I used to be normAL.” “I used to be a scientIST.” He shrugs his shoulders, “I was involved in an industrial accidENT.” “It turned me to goO.”

He zips far enough to be safely away from the scene and then pauses, pulling out the card again. Hmrrrumph. 'Slug Boy' indeed. She'll see who's the slow-poke!

Tucking his mask away he pulls out a cell phone and dials the number.

The woman shakes her head. "Well, I can't really help with you being drugged by a friend, although I will point out that if they drugged you, they probably weren't really a friend. As to freaks, we really, really, frown on the use of that word. I would strike it from your vocabulary, if you don't want to have to deal with hostility at every turn. I also can't help with the fact you were saved by a walking dead man. You should probably consider the fact that he didn't have to save you, he could have waited until Mimic was done draining your corpse." She points out.

Then she puts three fingers up, and ticks them off one by one. "Confused is natural, but I warn you right now, answers aren't easy to come by, for any of us, we don't know exactly what's going on either. So get used to being confused, you're apparently one of us now. For angry, I suggest you use self help on that one, I'm not a mentalist, so I can't force you to not be angry. I could make you enraged, perhaps, but not angry is beyond my ability. That leaves us with armed, that one I can absolutely deal with. So, if you want me to disarm you, I can do so. Guns, knives, what do you want me to disarm from you?"

She leans back on the couch. "Or, you can ask your questions calmly, and I can try to answer what I have answers for. A Meta is a Metahuman. It's what we're calling ourselves. It means someone who has a super human ability, strength, alive and dead at the same time, mind reading, shape changing, flight..."

Ace waves a hand. "Sorry, vegetarian. Thanks though. That's about it. Your father wanted you out of the laboratory, he didn't tell us a lot, other than he had come to regret his role in the experiment. We suspect it was his employers who killed him, but we can't confirm it. He wanted you out of the lab. He wanted you with people who know what you can do, and can help you learn to control it, and to learn to use it to help others."

This comes as some news to Violet. Her hand flexes around the grip of the hairbrush, clenching and relaxing absently.

"It wasn't... It wasn't them," she says. Her voice is shaky, but calm. "My uncle is almost certain of that. We just don't know who it was. It's maddening."

Violet is suddenly quiet. Her eyes dart to her handbag, near the far end of the couch, and the prescription bottle held within it, before she looks back to Ace.

mdt wrote:


Ace shrugs. "He died trying to help us, we owe him. So, if you want to try to find a home with people that will understand you, and who try to counteract people like those who killed your father, and who abuse their powers, or who kidnap and experiment on people like us, then we can try to make a home for you. This is strictly an up to you offer, no threats if you don't, and we back off if you don't want to. Like I said, a debt is a debt, but if you don't want the payment... we go away. So up to you."

"The Agency I worked with used to tell me the same thing," she says. "They kept me in a tiny room and they taught me to use my abilities and they told me it was to help people. And most of the time, it was."

She leans back in the chair. "But I've done some things, Ace, that I don't like. Things I can't take back. It wasn't my choice to do them. But I still did them."

She pauses and stares at her hands for a long moment. Finally, she shrugs and looks at Ace. "I'm not a nice person. But if you really are who you say you are... Maybe... I dunno. What I do know is, if I say yes to this... and you ever lie to me about what you're doing, or what you want me to do? You'll regret it. Please don't make me make you regret it."

Violet smiles, a real smile this time. "I haven't met anyone else who could do this," she thinks, projecting the words and feelings at Ace. "I thought I was the only one. It's been so... desolate.

She looks around the apartment. "I just got this place the way I like it. You're going to want me to move, aren't you?"

Not worth lying. Not saying I'll tell you everything I know, I have confidences I can't break. And what you don't know, you can't reveal. The response comes, although it's somewhat rusty, like an unused door opening. I don't do this often to be honest... except when I'm breaking conditioning. Not used to.. conversation. But, I'm going to give you some friendly advice. The people I work with.. they aren't like the people you've worked with before. You've worked with normals. You could take a dozen normals, so could I. There are some truly powerful Metas, like us, and then there are some Metas you can't possibly hope to do anything but run away from, if you want to live. The problem is, you quite often can't tell the difference... until you need to run. If you're lucky. So, when you work with us, making threats isn't going to endear you to anyone. These people might be saving your life, don't give them reason to not trust or like you. And yes, you'd have to move. If it makes you feel any better, your snoopy next door neighbor thinks you're a hooker, and she's been agitating the local police. So moving might be better anyway. She thinks purple hair is a sign of a hooker. She's not the brightest bulb in the box...

Aegis sighed wishing she had a drink."I was referring to my 'meta' by armed, so there's more with different abilities. Alright then lets see what I can get." She took a moment to gather her thoughts and calm herself, having spent so long in the dark had put her on edge and having the answers dangled in front of her but still limited was grating her.

"Start with introductions then, who are you and who is zombie?"

Who is Mimic and why did she attack?
Why did zombie capture her?
Why did he leave her the card?

"There's a difference between threats and promises. I watched my father get his leg blown off when I was ten. It takes a lot to scare me."

She pauses and tilts her head. When she speaks again it's with real words. "But maybe this is easier for you. And maybe you're right. Maybe I should trust them. But can you blame me for not just... running off with the first shadowy figure who offers me a friendly hand."

She smirks. "To paraphrase the Ice Queen. Just a bit."

"But, if you were going to try to hurt me, there are so many other ways you could have done it." Violet stands up and holds out her hand. "Okay, shadowy figure. You call the movers. I'll go say goodbye to Mrs. Robinson down the hall. Then we can run away from home."

The woman smiles. "I'd rather not disarm you then, it would make a mess. You can call me Bolt. We don't give out our real names, usually. Especially with new people. Some of us are wanted, others afraid of being wanted, or they have family that could be targeted. We all use names that are codenames. Zombei, well, he's unique. We've never encountered anyone who became a Meta after they died, but he did. He's... rather unique. As you've seen. He needs a new body, honestly. His current one has been pretty torn up. The more torn up it gets, the more disgusting he gets. But he has a low and base sense of humor. So he enjoys freaking people out."

She looks around the room, and shrugs. "As to who Mimic is, we have no idea. At least, not who she was originally. It's what she calls herself. I would guess she attacked you either because she liked how you looked, or because you had access to something she wanted. Money, information, power. Something." The woman responds, her tone even now. "That's just a guess though, based on her previous behaviour. Zhombei captured her because he's had a mad on ever since she killed a friend of his. She's hard as hell to kill, or he'd probably have killed her. He left his card because you didn't know what she or he was. We try to at least inform new Metas like you. Those who are more interested in helping others than themselves, we offer a job. Those who are more interested in using their powers to take advantage of others, we warn we won't allow it."

She seems nice enough,Goo thinks about Pulse. But I’d beeter play it safe for now and not share too much information about myself. “I would rather not talk about IT.” He responds to Pulse’s inquiry about the accident.

Whippoorwill's face grew tight when Goo spoke of an accident at a lab. She was curious, worried. She tried thinking of a way to ask for specifics, but wasn't sure how. It was therefore a small relief that he wished to drop the subject.

"Sure. Makes sense," she says soberly.

Her wings begin twitching again behind her and she grimaces. "Hey, if you want to see a flying demonstration, maybe you could help me talk Shimmer into taking us somewhere." Ever since she got to her room and got some food in her, her wings have been restless. She braces herself against the wall as her wings take several powerful beats.

After her wings settle down, she stands back up straight.

"I expect the exit is classified. This place is underground, and with a teleporter working for them, we could be anywhere. Going outside is probably forbidden. But I need to, heh, 'stretch my wings'"

She gestures at the empty, unmarked doors. "Take your pick."

Hotaru moves to a door, opens it, and slides the two suitcases in. "I really need to talk to them about letting me know where the stuff I don't need to be near is." She says as she stands in the doorway, pushing it closed. "I'd like to explore, but I don't want to break a super computer or something. You guys don't have any tech on you, do you?" She says as she glances towards them.
Guessing Hotaru can't ping her location here, either?

Saffron:

The woman nods. "Aegis it is. And sort of, they all end up looking like him after a week, but at least a fresh one doesn't have scars, stitches, and bugs crawling out of it."

"Well, as to a job... it's more of a volunteer thing. We don't exactly have a lot of money, and what we do have, we put into getting people who are not safe to somewhere safe, or supporting our transportation network. So I can't promise you pay. However, what it usually involves is stopping people like Mimic from hurting people who can't defend themselves, protecting people like us from the government, keeping them out of labs, or worse, off dissection tables. Working hard to keep us off the tv, isolating people who can't control their abilities, or who refuse to stop using their powers to hurt others."

Zach:

"I see. This phone will no longer be answered after this call. Take the card you were given, and expose it to a heat of at least 150 degrees farenheit, but no more than 200 degrees. A second number will appear on the back. Call that number." The line goes dead.

Assuming Zach does...

A woman's voice picks up on the phone this time. "Hello? Who gave you your card." When answered, the woman continues. "Yes, I see. We've had a report. There is a public library in your town. Tomorrow afternoon, in the psychology section, someone will meet you then. Wear red and yellow." The phone goes dead.

Assuming Zach goes, but doesn't bring anyone with him

A man in black slacks and shirt, with a tan bomber jacket is in the psychology section. He looks up as Zack approaches.

3d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 4) = 13
10d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 6, 6, 1, 4, 1, 3, 3) = 34

When Zach arrives, the man nods toward the shelf. Zach sees his wallet sitting on the shelf. "Lost and found said you might want that back. She has a point though, carrying stuff around like that on you when you're running around at night doing things like that isn't smart."

No pinging for Hotaru, she can hear some radio waves being given off by what feels like electrical wires, and there's a microwave running below, that's very distinctive, but other than that, nothing.

After calling the first number

Zach rubs the cards quickly between his hands until the new number is revealed, wondering What exactly is going on here?

Despite being miffed at the smart-mouthed speedster, he felt his heart race a bit as he called the second number.

So there really are superheroes, and they have secret cards with secret numbers. Comic book images fill his mind. And I bet I'm going to be one of them, for real!

At the library

Zach takes a look to see if anyone else is on the aisle, and once he's sure there isn't he pockets the wallet faster than the ordinary eye can see.

In a whisper he says "OK, fine, so I'm new to being a superhero. I have what it takes though, I know I do. I bet with a little practice I could do anything she can. Are you...one too? Who are you? And who was she? Is there, like, some super secret superhero network or something?"

Zach:

The man shakes his head. "Well, at least it's better than poking around in the murky depths of murder and mayhem..." Although he seems to be talking to himself, not Zach. "There's no superheros, no secret network. What there is, is a bunch of people with abilities that aren't normal, working their fingers to the bone to keep normal people from being hurt or killed by people with abilities. You are being talked to because you have abilities, and you're going to expose us. One of our biggest tasks is convincing hyperactive, over imaginative kids, that they are not the real life Kick-Ass or Avengers."

"And all of this is part of some recruiting process or do you have meetings with every meta that gets found?"

If she is recruiting Aegis

"If you're looking for help I'd be fine with offering what I have but I do want something in return, two things actually. First, I want to speak with Mimic. Second, I need access to Sinclair Labs, do you have anyone that could do that?"

Once again Zach feels a burn on his cheeks, as the second person today chastises him for being sloppy.

Trying not to clench his jaw, he replies, "OK, I get it, I've got things to learn. Are you going to help me, or what? You may say there're no superheroes, but Siren sure seemed like a supervillain--killing those cops without a thought--and that...red-and-yellow-woman...she seemed like a superhero, even if she was a bit obnoxious. If they--we--aren't supers, what are we?

"And I've read Spider-Man. 'With great power comes great responsibility.' If innocent people are at risk, I want to help. I need to!"

Electronics, he thinks to himself as he looks down at his body of Goo. “Where would I keep electonICS?” He asks the girl.

“They can’t keeps us here like prisionERS?” he inquires as he considers, although these would seem like they would be good company. He continues “I haven’t been outside in montHS”

I don't mean to sound impatient, but since you asked us to poke you if you missed one of us in the shuffle...

Whippoorwill spreads her hands and shakes her head to show Pulse she doesn't have anything she could damage.

Turning to Goo, she looks concerned. "Like I said earlier, maybe they'll be more lenient with you. And you," she adds, nodding to Pulse. "It's just a matter of how they feel about you. If I may ask, what were you told to get you to decide to come here?"

"As far as I know, the only thing holding you together is an electronic device." Hotaru says, slightly serious, but not enough to ruin her mood. The 'locked up for month's part was, though.

"So... if you're both prisoners... what does that make me?" She says, brow furrowed. 'Society's acceptance is a prison disguised as a paradise.', she thought, quoting a villain. Then smiles, 'You don't even have a grenade.' Gary was amazing, even if the waves thing wasn't accurate in her experience.

"Shim said I could go home, but that I'd be useful here. Jamming and communications, I assumed... but the only waves I have are micro and radio. The kind that comes from electrical lines and ruin good music."

She pauses for a moment, "How about instead of 'out' we look for a 'down?' You can double check rooms as we go and make sure it doesn't look like there's anything sensitive inside? If there's a microwave running downstairs, that means there's probably someone else here. It's... kinda nice not having all of my signals jumbling me."

Whippoorwill gives Pulse a tight smile as she shakes her head. "I didn't say I was a prisoner. It's just that my comings and goings will be..." she pauses, thinking of the right word, "regulated."

Anxious to get out of the cramped hallway, she agrees to go explore. "I thought you were afraid of popping the electronics, but that works. If you want to look around, we'll make sure the way is clear. Maybe there's a gym big enough."

Goo tries to clarify his statement, “I was not a prisoner either I was convalesCING.”

"Well, I am, but it takes time to break it. And if you're okay with playing lookout for the stuff, I'll probably be fine. Besides... it's be kind of silly to put me into a building with really important tech." She says, then sighs, "Though I can't really say that. It's not going to be a hundred dollar computer, probably." She says, with a sigh. "I doubt I'll scramble something without touching it... but I should probably be safe, over sorry." She says, looking annoyed.

"You were whatting?" She says to Goo as she turns her attention to him.

“I was hurt and the process of getting well is called convalesCING.” Goo gets out in one shot.

Violet:

Sorry, missedit

Don't push it, Violet. I've seen a lot. You don't want to be scared... The reply comes, and with telepathy, it's hard to lie. There's enough psychic damage behind the statement that it could drive most people insane. There are much worse things in the world...

"Leave Mrs. Robinson alone, it's better if we vanish as if you were never here. I'd rather her look like a crackpot. I can implant a few images in a few other people of movers commenting on her being the reason you moved out. That way if she's talked to anyone, they'll dismiss it as the ravings of an old woman who's lost touch with reality."

Things go quickly after that, Violet had little that was important, and a day or two later, she and Ace were picked up by a girl with soft fine gray fur on her body. 'Shimmer' as she proclaimed herself to be then touched both Violet and Ace, and the world swam. When it settled down, the two were in a small room with a unique pattern on the walls.

Intro over

The group had been chatting for about 15 minutes, when the door to the room opened again, and two people came out. The first was a teenage girl, slightly younger than Hotaru. She had violet hair, violet eyes, and even purple freckles.

The other, a man is immediately recognizable to Briana.

"Feather Femme, Inkpot, Radiohead, this is Purple Girl and Ace. Purple Girl, Ace, meet Feather Femme, Inkpot, and Radiohead." And then Shimmer vanishes again.

The man nods at Briana. "Whippoorwill, you're looking better. I'm Ace, I'll be one of your two instructors while you're in training." He raises an eyebrow at Violet, wondering if she'll use a codename or not, it was explained that it was customary, although she has no secret ID to protect other than her real name and looks, which will require a codename and some hair dye, maybe glasses, and makeup.
