Mutants and Masterminds: Freedom City

[Keia]

Cosmo will accompany the young man to listen to what the man speaking to Velocity had to say. When he arrived, he noticed the shoddy job the doctor's did for Velocity (at least to Cosmo) and touches his arm - healing him of his wounds.

Cosmos won't introduce himself, he doesn't want that much attention - he still had to read more about dealing with fame before he tried to get some for himself.

"There, that good enough for you? Or would you like me to run down to Waffle House and get your dinner too?"

Velocity laughs at the youngster. "Waffle House? No. But Red Lobster would hit the spot right about now!"

Turning back to Benson, he says with a laugh, "Kids these days..."

Then, not hearing anyone approach and suprised by the touch on his arm, Velocity turns to see who it is. After Cosmo heals him, he smiles. "Thank you very much."

 

[Vardeman]

Tauro, at Leech's invitation follows along, but stays to the back, trying unsuccessfully to remain inconspicuous at the back of the group.

After the rest of the group joins Mr. Benson he looks around and notices that there is still a large crowd around. “Let’s move away from the crowd a bit.” He says and walks down the street a little way.

“Let me begin from the start, you may have noticed an increase in crime of late. Statistics show that nearly 70% of these crimes are committed by person or persons with paranormal abilities.” Mr. Benson clears his throat and continues. “My employer, being quite concerned about this crime wave, has been keeping track of all reports of new heroes in the city. By witness accounts you fit the description of paranormals that has been helping the citizens of Freedom City in the last few weeks.” He looks at each of you in turn.

“Although the Freedom Force and the Atom Family are headquartered in Freedom City they spend more and more time dealing with international issues, this leaves them very little time to protect Freedom City. My employer is determined to fine heroes that are willing to take up the challenge to help protect Freedom City.” Again he looks at each of you for any reaction. “If it is your intention to be heroes of Freedom City then my employer would like to meet with all of you to make a proposition beneficial to all.” He then waits for your response.

Leech was still fuming at the 'Kids these days...' comment. So much so that he barely heard what the man was saying until it came to the proposition part. Nonchalantly, the boy raises the question. "So how much are we being offered?"

 

[Keia]

Employment? Cosmo thought. I was only here for a night on the town and immersing myself in this wonderful culture. Perhaps it would be beneficial, assuming I still have my freedom to explore and watch my interesting afternoon television shows. I might even discover who killed Cathy and get justice.

Cosmo nodded his head and listened to the man's proposal.

"I'm willing to meet your employer and hear what he has to say," Velocity replies. "But can it wait until tomorrow? It's getting late. Junior over there," he says, nodding at Leech, "probably should be getting to bed."

“Oh a minor, that could cause some difficulties.” Benson says in response to Velocity. “As for compensation that will be discussed in the meeting with my employer, if you meet certain requirements.” He adds.

“Very well, the meeting will be set for tomorrow afternoon, show up at this address at 1 o’clock.” He says as he hands each of you a plain business card with the address on it. “Everything will be explained to you there, if there are no further questions?” He asks looking at each of you, if not he continues. “Then I bid you gentlemen good evening… or rather good morning as it were.”

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

After Benson hands out the business cards, Velocity turns to Leech. "Well, let's go kid."

Velocity will run off using his super speed. He'll find a quiet, private place to pull of his mask. Once that is done, he'll return to his car and wait for Leech to show up and then he'll return to the mansion to get some sleep and prepare for the meeting tomorrow.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Hell!

Not sure i can trust this guy, but worse case he's not on the up and up i can bring him down from the inside. Hell smiles, "Well i guess i'll see you gentlemen tomarrow." and then walks off into the dark ally, heading for home.
