a white haired beauty wearing knee high white stilettos and a skintight white jumpsuit, she glanced over at him with her blue eyes.  Roundhouse found what he was looking for.  He bought her some drinks, and eventually struck up a conversation with the young woman, who instantly recognized him from the press conference earlier in the morning.  She introduced herself as Sachana, in English though her voice was accented as if from Western Europe.  They spoke about Roundhouse’s fiery speech at the press conference, Sachana in particular seemed very impressed by his words, and his sense of character, if only she knew.Roundhouse sensing that he had the woman where he wanted her, invited her to go skydiving.  She agreed wholeheartedly, and the two were off to go and enjoy the freedom of falling.  Roundhouse decided it would be best if they “tandem” jumped, and Sachana agreed.  The two jumped, harnessed together, and fell through the air, beautifully.  The city and coast of Barcelona was visible even in the fading light of the setting sun, but not all things go as planned.  Roundhouse deployed his parachute, though instead of the usual jerk back, he heard a snap, and looked back to see the parachute flying away, and the two of them still falling!  He frantically pulled the safety but it failed to deploy, as he braced himself for impact, the ground racing towards them.  He clenched his teeth prepared for the worst, and felt the two of them stop just before impact.“Aren’t we supposed to be slowing down now?” Sachana replied slyly.“Well, yeah, don’t worry about it, Roundhouse hurriedly replied.Just as the two were about to impact to the ground, they both stopped in mid-air, Sachana laughed slightly, “I don’t think that was part of your plan, right?”Roundhouse gulped, “Uh yeah, well had some difficulties, but I had it under control,” as the floated down and landed on the ground.Sachana smiled, “That was a fun time, but I have to get going, maybe I could call you some time?”Roundhouse being the smooth operative that he is simply nodded dumbly, and then sputtered out his number, “Uh yeah, give me a call sometime.”Sachana continued to smile, and kissed him on the cheek and then the lips and flew off into the night sky, leaving Roundhouse all alone.  Meanwhile back at the hotel, Order returned from her patrol, and found a video message waiting for her.  She played the video message, it was  an emergency message from Malcolm!“Order, this is an emergency message, I just got word that a Pantheon agent has been spotted in Barcelona, I have attached a video feed to the message.  Review the video footage, and report back to me as quickly as you can,” the message was quick and to the point.  The attached video feed showed a lithe woman with white hair and shades walking through the aerodyne port, on the side of the fee, was informational data about the suspect.  She was a pantheon agent, Synapse, an elite with strong mental abilities, and was capable of mounting a mental assault upon her enemies and had incredible telekinetic ability.  She was considered a Charlie Class threat, and that the team should use caution in approaching her.Order called up both Roundhouse, and Black Charger, and told them that they needed to report back to the hotel immediately.  Things just got interesting, Pantheon was in the area.  Once Roundhouse and Black Charger were brought up to speed, Order asked, “So any thoughts or questions?”Roundhouse squirmed slightly, “Well I think I might have had a run-in with the enemy, totally innocent mind you.  I got her drinks, we chatted and went skydiving; you know normal stuff.”Both Order and Black Charger turned and looked at Roundhouse, “What!?”“Hey , how was I supposed to know she was working for Pantheon, I was just trying to find me a hot date.  Synapse knows we are in town, but I doubt that my meeting her would have changed that, our faces are all over the news for one reason or another,” he replied.Order sighed, “Well let’s call Malcolm and find out if knows anything more.”Malcolm appeared on the video screen, “Thanks for returning my call Order, sorry to interrupt your vacation like this, but we don’t take the presence of Pantheon agents lightly.”“Well what do you want us to do?” Black Charger replied, puffing on a cigar.“I mean do we go in and apprehend her?   Or is there some other reason why she would be here?” Roundhouse added.Malcolm gathered his thoughts then spoke, “We believe her presence may be tied to Eduardo Valentino, his views are counter the Pantheon philosophy.  We think he may be a target for assassination, Pantheon has done it before, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they did it again.”“So you think they are going to go after Eduardo Valentino, looks like we need to track him down and quickly,” Order replied.“He should be at the Fashion Show tomorrow, so there is a start, and he maintains a residence in the vicinity of Barcelona.  Both should give you pretty of leads, to go on.  Now I am aware of how some of you feel about Eduardo Valentino, and his views but you are Justice Elite: Beta first, and this is what we do.  We protect people, sometimes people we do not agree with, got that!”Roundhouse grimaced, “Affirmative, read you loud and clear.”Order smirked at the chiding, and continued, “Alright Malcolm, we will handle this on our end, you keep us posted if anything else comes up.”Malcolm nodded in reply, “Good luck,” as the video feed ended.The team conferred for a few moments before deciding that it was high time that they checked out the convention center where the fashion show would be held.  Roundhouse though wanted to check out the Coco-Bongo once more to see if he could drag up any clues about Sachana, he would meet up with them at the convention center once his business was concluded.</blockquote>
