I'm throwin' ya a bone here," relayed Mel Flannagan, Silver Avenger: Boston, across the holo-vid.Jae Sun grimaced. Folly and strife had continued to plague Legion Extreme.When would it end! Jae Sun looked down and rubbed his temples."Very well tell me about the situation.""He calls himself the Stone Giant, but his real name is Harold Dent. Typical eco-terrorist, he's been hidin' out in Canada for the last coupla years, but UNTIL based in Montreal contacted us that he was on the move across the border. We got a report that he's in northern Vermont, possibly headin' towards Burlington. We could send out a team, but I know you guys could use a win.""Thank you. I do not like to be reminded."The Silver Avenger shrugged her shoulders. "Anyway, what does he look like? Powers? Any vulnerabilities?""Ever play Dungeons & Dragons?""What? No.""He looks like a stone giant...page 101, in the Monster Manual. I'm sure the A.I. has the file""You must be joking.""Nope. Tall, can grow up to twenty feet. Bald, rock, gray skin. Black eyes. He even likes to hurl boulders. Oh," she said looking down, possibly at a display file in front of her, "he can absorb both physical and energy damage and he's resistant to some types of damage as well, that is when he's in giant form.""Maybe we will reconsider."Jae Sun felt ill. "Hey, Mr. Detective, now is not the time to go for the glam' villain. Plus, it's the only gig around. ""Very well, I will look for the information. I will contact the rest of the team, and we...we will be right on it. Legion Extreme, out."The detective had a headache. Of all the silly ideas for a villian! But then again, that is why most of them are insane.At least one thing had gone right this week. Yesterday, after talking Cosmic Knight into returning to base after the incident with Dragon Fist, and finally contacting Valor McCoy, 'Knight had allowed an inspection of his room.  To their horror it was crawling...well actually his room was abuzz with hummingbirds of all shapes and sizes. It was very disconcerting. Jae Sun shuddered recalling the incident. Somnus had brain drained Cosmic Knight who had succumbed willingly, and then Valor had removed the aberrant obsession, which they had learned Hummingbird could uncontrollably place on men whom she had previously mind controlled. Dragon Fist had not been so willing, but they would get to him later. Earlier in the week, he and Dragon Fist had traveled to Providence, after Somnus had at long last mentally located Dr. Lu. The good doctor's slippery mind had failed him, and apparently Somnus had gained some power.  The confrontation had not gone well. There had been shouting and defensiveness by Dr. Lu, accusations by Jae Sun, and in the end, no resolution. Their friend would not be returning to Boston any time soon, but at least he would let Darkfire and Anaka stay at his shop. Jae Sun sighed heavily. He was growing more and more weary. He flipped to the common frequency. "Legion Extreme, we have a job to do! Assemble in the War Room immediately. There is a bad villian on the loose and he needs a beat down!"The slang sounded alien to Jae Sun as it rolled off his tongue, but without Slipstream around--the speedster had left his comm badge before his leave of absence--someone had to maintain the colour. The detective quickly suppressed a grin."S.T.A.N., please access the Criminal Database. Subject: Stone Giant.""Already accessed, sir," replied the base A.I. in the Queen's English (Jae Sun Lee's personal preference)Data began streaming across a nearby screen and Jae Sun began to study...</blockquote>
