Tyroc
"As I recall, you were the only one that got shot, Ty," Neutron says teasingly. "Everyone else apparently had their wits about them."
Jody smiles at the compliment. “Oh, yeah, I’m the star attraction around here,” she says before turning to the next customer.
Cumulus flashes a grin at the line. “I hear I missed out on some interesting times last week. I was trying to not get a tan in the Bahamas, though. Unfortunately, I don’t tan very well,” she says, pointing out her lily white skin.
“Close. She wasn’t the doctor, she was the nurse,” Neutron says with a smile at Nadia.
Nadia is a bit embarrassed by your question. “His…butt is, um…”
“Eh, I’ve seen better,” Cumulus says, getting a comical glare from Neutron.
“Elementor? Well, it’s dramatic. You need to say it forcefully, with a deep voice. The guy that does the movie trailers could say it well,” Neutron says, nodding.
“Eagle’s in Washington today. I tried to get her to tell me who made that new team, but she was all…Eagley…about it, you know what I’m talking about,” he adds. “But I’m betting you’re in there, man. That’s some decent coin, plus you get to do good, all at the same time. There’s worse fates.”
Misha
“New assignment? I hadn’t heard,” Tellman says. “So, I’ll be getting a new partner. Can’t say I won’t miss you, Misha, but I have to admit that that’s good news. Someone who needs a partner will be a nice change.” You can’t tell if he’s being facetious or not. “So what do you figure it is?”
Mimic
“I’m just happy that you’re willing to try,” Alita says, smiling as you climb into the bed. She gives you a peck on the cheek. “Really, I don’t know anyone else who would do that for me.” She turns away and lies down. “Good night.”
The next thing you hear is strange tune. You open your eyes and the sun is shining though the brown curtains. Alita is still sleeping soundly, but she’s gone from her side of the bed to snuggled up against you. You try to focus on the sound…and you realize it’s coming from the cell phone you were given.
Blizzard
“Fine. Who he is isn’t any of your business, either, but if it’ll get you out of the way…” Random says, sounding annoyed, “His name is Finch. He was working for a company called Terra-Form, a geological company. He mainly did things like on-site protection and guarding of goods. He must not have been paid well enough for his liking because he made off with hundreds of thousands in uncut diamonds, diamonds belonging to Terra-Form that he was supposed to be guarding. While the goods are insured and there are criminal court proceedings to come, the company has hired us to locate and capture him for them. There is a good chance he still has the diamonds, and getting them back would be much less of a headache for them.” He stares at you non-chalantly, not seeming to be in any hurry to resume his chase. “Anything else you would like to know?” he asks with more than a hint of sarcasm.
Lupa
The police take several steps back as you change, rather surprised at the new form of the unassuming girl that was before them. They simply watch as you move the car around. The cop that spoke to you looks away as you change back. “Get her a blanket,” he tells the officer next to him, who’s less polite.
As you are covered in the blanket, the Jaws of Life are used on the car to pry the door open. As soon as it is, Shift awakens from his stupor. The EMTs that were to pull him out jump back with a start. Shift looks at you and says, “Remember what I’ve told you!” before his form begins to morph.
“What’s he doing, stop him!” the officer says, pulling a gun. “Don’t move!” But by the time the gun is drawn, Shift has shrunk down to the form of a fly. The EMTs watch as it quickly buzzes up into the air and out of sight.
Just then, the gray sedan pulls up and Dunn and another suit step out. They approach you, looking at the totaled car. “Miss Masters, are you alright?”
Elementor
All three adults are startled by your rant, but your father quickly turns angry. Before he can say anything, though, Ms. Winters begins to speak to you. Her smile is quite disarming, and that alone calms you down, but does little to make you less cautious.
“Aaron, I know what happened to you was awful.” Her voice is quite soothing, very pleasant, causing you to tingle. “But I want to help you. Really, I do. I’m the government liaison to the new team you’re going to be on with Tyroc and Sarah and the others. I was sent here to ask your parents if they’d let you join. And they will, but only if you agree. What can I do so that you’ll trust me?”
Shimmering Samurai
“That’s horrible, Kiro,” Order says sympathetically. “No one should have to endure such a thing.”
“Yeah, I’m sorry I jumped at you earlier,” Kensei apologizes. “I don’t know how anyone could do such a thing to living being either, as I said, it sickens me. On the other hand,” he says grimly, “I’ve seen some rather nasty things during my time with Justice Elite. Human depravity can sink even lower than one can imagine. But it’s good thing you managed to escape. How did you, anyway, the newscast wasn’t very detailed when it came to that.”
