Gadget blinks, “Oh man you mentioned me, I feel so popular now!”

"More like targeted," Gilden responds angerly. He turns to look at the pop star. "You had no right to include us in your crusade without asking us first."

Jun Min looks shocked as if listening to something unheard and then turns on her monitor and changes it to the CNN news feed, catching Kelly’s interview. She blinks, “She didn’t…. oh man… Kelly… please… oh my this isn’t good at all.”

Kal blinks, “Why did she mention so many of us?” he looks to Karen, “What the hell is she trying to do?”

Sami blinks, “Maybe this is a good thing?”

Karen gapes in shock at the monitor, "Oh my god... She didn't... Thi-this isn't... This can't be real right? Thi-this is some kind of horribly m-misplaced joke right?" she stutters, "Wh-why mention a-anything of this at all? Why d-did she do this?" she asks, looking at Kal for support, anger and shock apparent on her face.
 

"More like targeted," Gilden responds angerly. He turns to look at the pop star. "You had no right to include us in your crusade without asking us first."

"I didn't target you guys. I just wanted the truth to come out. The good guys don't lie about people, not knowingly, and they don't say things like the ends justify the means. The good guys are the good guys...and the good guys should let their friends know what they are doing before the do it." Kelly says with a sigh. She sends a subtle shock along her wrist to subtly short out the watch for good.

"I'm sorry guys, your right, I should have told you what I was going to do, you had every right to know, but it was the right thing to do. The UN wants to be the good guys, they can cetainly be the good guys, if they have someone that calls them when they slip off the straight and narrow. It'd be a hell of a thing if we lost against Overseer because not enough people knew what was coming so they just did whatever they wanted until after it was too late and everyone suffered because the UN never bothered to tell anyone."

"Its too late now for the story to go away without the UNJE outright lying, and even if they lie, in a year or two I'll be proven right anyway, and if the UNJE does try and lie to cover it up everyone will know it and things will work out that way too. I don't believe the UN wears blackhats, but even if they do something to me, if this helps get peopleready for whats coming, then it was worth it." Kelly said sounding completely and utterly conviced that what she had done was the right thing to do.

"Oh yeah, that makes sense. Mark slumped down in his seat. "If you wanted to keep us from lying, you blew it. I can't think of anything you could have done that would more guarantee the UNJE, and we personally all have to lie to billions of people," Mark hissed, not caring what Kelly thought. "All this can possibly do is make stopping the Overseer harder, because now we have to fix all of this on top of it. Thanks a lot, Kelly."

"Okay Tim, and you better send me pictures!" Jean says as she hangs up.

He relaxes once she's hung up.

"She's safe. We have a name, and a phone number. Track it. And when we know who he is and where he is ..."

The glow from earlier returned, "I'm going to teach him that you don't mess with anyone I call a friend. Ever."

He looked at Kal, Sami and Karen, "Sorry to drag you all into this."
 

"Tell me Kelly," Gilden responds trying to keep his temper under control, "How is this going to help get people ready? What is the ordinary person supposed to do about this anyways? We don't have to worry about the Overseer any more because this world may destroy itself before he can do it." He says with a sigh, pushing his plate away. "You have opened Pandora's box Kelly, I hope this world can withstand the results."
 

"It seems like news people lie as often as Paragon does. They were not suppoused to play the story yet. I had originally planned to get Paragon to admit the truth, but recording people is not something that the good guys should do. Be happy with your shade of grey Mark, Gilden, I want something brighter, cleaner, whiter." Kelly says frowning at the fact that CNN had lied.

"This wasn't exactly the extent of what I was planning, I know you believe that I'm stupid, I know that you all think it, but even I'm not stupid enough to just tell the truth and expect that to change everything on its own. Tell the truth, and then give people an alternative to the choices that they have had in the past. Pantheon and Cardinal, well thats associated with an awful lot of evil, and not exactly incorrectly, and the UNJE? If they are lying about Mexico city and Overseer what else could they be doing and lying about? Oracle told me just today that she hadn't even known about Overseer or Genocide until very recently. How does that help fight against him if the leader of one of the UNJE teams doesn't even know the truth?"

"SARAH can you please ask Paragon if I can see him now? I'll be leaving shortly and I'd still like to see him before I go."
 

"Damn, Kelly," Ryan says, shaking his head. "As fun as this lynch mob is going to be, I think I'm going to take a raincheck. Oh yeah, Mark, do you think that somehow the warp suits are causing the problems with James? Just a paranoid notion, but maybe you could talk to Paragon about it?"

"See you all," Ryan says with a wave, turning away to head towards McCallister's office.
 

CNN headquarters London

Rachel sighs as she gets another busy signal. She clicks her delicately manicured nails on the desk and leaves another voice mail for Kelly Mitchell, “I wanted to apologize for the story being pushed ahead, the call was not mine, it was made from authorities above. I can only hope that you are well, please contact me at your earliest convenience.”

Sadly Kelly broke her phone…

Cafeteria

Gadget blinks, “Oh man, that is bad… what are we going to do?”

SARAH speaks, “Paragon is currently busy and is not to be disturbed, Kelly.”

Tina blinks, “Yeah I am with Ryan, I am out of here.”

Mr. McCallister’s Office

His door is open and the veteran Justice Elite alumnus is working at putting his office together. He is surprisingly strong despite his obvious reliance on the cane. He pauses as Ryan enters, “Ryan, Tina; how can I help you two this evening? I would have figured you two would be enjoying your downtime, before tomorrow's mission.”

"I don't think you are stupid Kelly, just selfish and lacking in forethought. You have ripped away the lives of billions of people just because you thought your way was the right way." He pauses for a moment before continuing. "How does that make you any better then Paragon?"
