Eve: "Smooth, if you try to do what you did last time I won't be so kind to your hand. Now be a good boy and behave."
"You must have me confused with someone else, sweetness," Dr. Smooth says quietly. "I'm no
boy who needs to cop a feel. I know how to spell respect and what it means, that's why the ladies come to me. Perhaps you should look the word up. Now, go on..."
Brain Freeze: "Good day folks. What's going on here?"
Dr. Smooth more than obviously ignores Brain Freeze's question and his presence in general.*
Capt. Maddicks: "Yes, please explain your 'plans', since I'm sure they're so well put together, and while your at it, you might want to tell me who you already have trying to enter the building so that they are not mistaken for criminals by my men. This is the problem with you superhero types. You think you're all above the law, you think that you can just do as you please, without regard for anyone else. The safety of my men and who knows how many civilians is at stake here. I can't have you people coming in and messing up the works without some coordination. I certainly hope your friend who just left and anyone else you have already moving on the building don't get themselves or someone else killed because of their rash actions. And you can let the one who just left know that he and I WILL have words later."
"Sgt Marks. Make sure the rest of the squad knows that there is at least one, possibly more, superpowered individuals approaching the building. Use extreme caution."
Dr. Smooth starts to reply when Diva steps in.
Diva: "There are two super-powered individuals entering the building if Ghost goes, Captain Maddicks. Eve is going in to get some information about the situation. That's it. They'll be right back."
"As for our plan, we don't really have one yet. No information to act on equals no plan. That's why I'm glad to see you here, Captain. We want to help, but we don't want to endanger the lives of the hostages or your men. Help us help you, Captain."
After Diva is done, Dr. Smooth leans on his cane and smiles at the officer, "Cool down, Bulldog. You know me, or at least of me," the doctor says trying to calm down the officer with a little street diplomacy. "I may not be a high roller like I once was, certainly not in the big leagues like the FL, but I've got a certain rep. The lady here knows what she's talking about. Trust me when I say that these young cats know how to get the cheese without springing the trap. Take out the fancy little computer on your hip there and punch in the codenames
Eve and
Ghost and I'm sure you'll have enough info to pass onto you men. As for the rest of us, you've got me &
Diva, over there is
Infernal, this new kid calls himself
Spyder you may not have any info on him yet. Like Diva said, we're only here to help. The city should be glad - they don't even have to pay us. Certainly The Man can get down with that."

OOC: maddmic - I saw the thought balloon that you had about Dr. Smooth and just decided to roll with playing up an established animosity between our two characters, which is why Dr. Smooth ignores him when he arrives and doesn't identify him to Bulldog later. If this isn't where you were going with the thought balloon, let me know and I'll edit the post
