"Olympic City is in the United States, on the west coast... in the site where San Francisco used to be," Nightchild says standing right behind Anika, sneaking up on everyone in the room.

"Used to be? What happened to it?" Mark asks.

"Used to be? What happened to it?" Mark asks.

Nightchild replies to Mark, “Classic battle… Artemis and Thor brought down Set, but in the process, he destroyed all of San Francisco with his death throes and submerged most of the city… taking countless lives with him.”

“It was six years ago,” another voice says, another equally stealthy person. This one is a man dressed in a black body suit with a mask that covers his head except his mouth. He has a black cape with a gray crescent moon on his chest. His eyes are stern and powerful, and the man emanates… danger.

“I told Artemis and Thor to back down, but they pressed ahead… it took four years to rebuild this city, into Olympic City. Despite the devastation, it could have been worse if not for sacrifice of many men and women, many were superhuman, and many more were not. In the end Olympic City is based on a great triumph and failure… it is our heritage.”

“Let me introduce you to Dr. Midnight,” Nightchild chimes in.

For those who care Dr. Midnight has a Total Charisma bonus of about +17 without Attractive which he has.

James takes a seat next to Kiyana "Burger and fries and soda all sound good... so if this is like 10 years in the past and all... ah how long have their been like super-heroes around anyway? And you don't all work for the UN or some corp?"

Gadget corrects him, "No we are not technically the past, we are a different divergent reality. So well what happens here will not affect your world, because our worlds diverged a long time ago... and we have had superhumans since forever... though they didn't get costumed up till the second world war..."

"Superbeings... not everyone is human," Dr. Midnight adds.

Kelly is suprised by the lack of modern appliaces, or at least whats modern to her, the popstar really had no clue of how different other people even in her own time lived. "Wow, this place is like super retro. That is so cool, but how do you guys get everything done?" she asks curiously of Gadget. At the offer of food. Kelly smiles and nods, burgers and fries were here favorite, well except for pizza and ice cream, and well lots of stuff. Probably the reason her personal trainer was always mad at her.

Gadget smirks, "Sure... retro... right?" she says jokingly.

The blond smiles as Yoshi's get shot down by Ara and Gadget, and her smile widens at Anika's joke, and she breaks into a fit of giggles. "A change of clothes would be good. I'm so glad we aren't home right now, I just know I'd be getting slammed for it on all the fashion shows. They make those stupid worst-dressed-ever shows and we never get to live anything down." she says with a shudder, thinking of a show about one of her friends.

"Well we have plenty of clothes, not sure if they are super stylish, but I like my clothes," Velocity Girl smiles.

Cantrip floats into the kitchen and then opens the door to the fridge using his telekinetic powers and floats a coke to his hand. Hearing Kelly he rasps out a whisper, "You are very shallow..." and then floats out without another word.

Gadget smirks, "Sure... retro... right?" she says jokingly.

"Not a bad thing," she asures the other girl quickly, "Just, its like wow, I have never seen anything this, well, its not old, but my Dad is a super-smart elite, and his company does all this inventing. We always have the most cutting edge stuff, I mean even before it hits the market. My mom is smart too, she works with the stuff that dad makes too, he actually custom makes it, she uses it to run her hospital. Well, its not really a hospital, she helps new Elites who aren't really able to control their powers, the ones who are dangerous to themselves and other people, sick kids too." she adds, feeling pride in how good a person her mom was.

"Well we have plenty of clothes, not sure if they are super stylish, but I like my clothes," Velocity Girl smiles.

Cantrip floats into the kitchen and then opens the door to the fridge using his telekinetic powers and floats a coke to his hand. Hearing Kelly he rasps out a whisper, "You are very shallow..." and then floats out without another word.

"Well anything has got to be an improvement over these." she says gratefully. When Cantrip calls her shallow, Kelly sticks out her tongue at his retreating back. "I am not shallow," she murmurs indignantly.

"Olympic City is in the United States, on the west coast... in the site where San Francisco used to be," Nightchild says standing right behind Anika, sneaking up on everyone in the room.

"They will probably build a sister city on the site of where Mexico City used to be," Nightchild adds.

Anika jumps a bit when Nightchild appears. She looks back at him with a smile. "Wow, he's cute..." Her smile fades a bit when she asks, "Wait, your Mexico City is gone, too? Did it just kinda disappear, leaving a big glass crater behind?"

Nightchild replies to Mark, “Classic battle… Artemis and Thor brought down Set, but in the process, he destroyed all of San Francisco with his death throes and submerged most of the city… taking countless lives with him.”

“Let me introduce you to Dr. Midnight,” Nightchild chimes in.

"Pleased to meet you, sir," Anika says, looking over her shoulder to see if anyone else has snuck in. She turns back to him, a skeptical look on her face. "Um, did I hear that right? Artemis and Thor were fighting Set in San Francisco? Do a lot of your...superbeings...name themselves after gods? No offence, but that really seems kinda..." she pauses searching for the right word, "impudent, don't you think?"

Nightchild nods slowly, "Yes... another tragedy wrought by the Overseer... happened around the same time Kid Paragon and Miracle Girl dissapeared."

"It isn't impudent when you are who you say you are. Artemis and Thor are the real deal... Thor is a loose cannon... but he tends to fight for our side... when he chooses to," Dr. Midnight says, "as a matter of fact Artemis and the rest of Aegis should be here within the next hour."

Nightchild shifts from foot to foot uneasily, "Great..."

"Don't worry we won't cramp your style..." Dr. Midnight turns and walks out of the kitchen, "but no wild parties... ever."

Nightchild nods slowly, "Yes... another tragedy wrought by the Overseer... happened around the same time Kid Paragon and Miracle Girl dissapeared."

"So it was Overseer, I was suspecting as much. But that's odd. Both cities disappeared at the same time, then. How'd he do that?" Anika says, confused at the thought.

"It isn't impudent when you are who you say you are. Artemis and Thor are the real deal... Thor is a loose cannon... but he tends to fight for our side... when he chooses to," Dr. Midnight says, "as a matter of fact Artemis and the rest of Aegis should be here within the next hour."

Nightchild shifts from foot to foot uneasily, "Great..."

"Don't worry we won't cramp your style..." Dr. Midnight turns and walks out of the kitchen, "but no wild parties... ever."

Anika's skeptical look quickly turns derisive. "Pfff. So they actually claim to be gods? Not full of ourselves, or anything, are we?" She shakes her head. "You people don't actually believe that some chick running around with a bow and calling herself 'Artemis' is a god, do you? Because I'm sure gods have nothing better to do than take a mortal form and play superheroes."

James looks over at Anika with a bit of confussion and says "Ah but like Anika, don't you like... well believe in those gods or something? I mean to help work your magic or something?"
