Aaron watches as Tyrone goes through the contract and listens to the comments about it. He will sign if and when Ty does.

Misha listens at the doorway, and then shrugs, it really did not matter anymore to him. He steps away unseen and heads to the gym to clear his head, and shoot some basketball. He drapes his trenchcoat over a bleacher seat and starts shooting and dribbling, and getting into the swing of things... still watching for any changes in his environment.

When Winters is finished on the phone, she hangs up and answers more questions. "Once the contract is signed and you've passed your physical it shouldn't be long before you recieve your first paycheque. It's understood that many of you uprooted from home, bringing next to nothing with you. Hopefully this will help.

"As for individual endorsements," she says, adjusting her glasses, "you are free to sign endorsement deals as long as you recieve the okay from me. Other than consent, the deals are yours to make. There will be a few team deals, as stated in the contract, that, along with other obligations, you will be expected to adhere to."

Tyrone, from what you can tell, there is a clause stating that team members are expected to take any opponents they face alive whenever possible, so 'hit men' is unlikely. No experimentation, but, there are regular physicals to be taken to make sure team members are fit to contribute to the team. There is a million dollal life insurance policy included.

Screaming Eagle has a concerned look as Kiro speaks with her. She talks to him, appearling ot reassure him and pointing him to the table where a contract waits for him. As he takes a seat at the table, she leaves the room.

"Hello, everyone. Screaming Eagle asked me to introduce myself. I am Kiro Shiantsu. I was waylaid at the airport, but I am here now. You may notice I am not American," he says with a grin, "but I am here to lend my support to the team and help any way I can."

As Misha shoots hoops in the basketball court, he senses someone approach. It's Eagle. "Are you okay? I realize that this isn't your cup of tea, but I thought you'd be able to handle it. Or is it something else?"

Misha takes a few more shots before he pauses, “You know I was always pretty good at basketball. It was my favorite sport to play when I as a kid and I ended up going to the Air Force Academy and playing for the team, star player or so my coach said.”

He turns to Jennifer, “I was good because I never let anything get to me, ever. I never lost my cool, I never got nervous; I was a rock. Some people consider that cold, but I just consider it a source of strength. It was the same that mentality I brought to my work, that same detached feeling of being. But unlike basketball, there was a time when I lost my cool, and I was totally shaken to my core.”

He dribbles the ball slowly, “Maybe one day I will tell you about it.”

He spins maneuvering the ball with ease around his back and shoots another shot. He turns as the ball goes in, “I didn’t mean to just walk out, it’s just sometimes, bad memories flashback to me, and I just need some time to sort my thoughts. Basketball helps me do that.”

He gives her a concerned look, “Don’t tell me you were actually worried about me? You don’t have to worry about me Jennifer; I won’t jeopardize the team or the mission.”

Great, lets get the physical over and done with, got places to go and things to buy. He says with a smirk.

Rachel's ears perk up when Winter's tells them endorsements are ok, she isn't really sure what the woman is talking about, being new to all of this, but she thinks she has an idea. "Uhm, exactly what kinds of endorsements? I mean, what kind would you say ok to? I guess Playboy is right out, but, is it just like, as long as we aren't shown in a negative light or connected to like, questionable things?" she asks curiously, everyone can tell the playboy mention was a joke, just not how much of a joke it was meant to be.

The girl considerably brightens at the mention of an immediate paycheck, since she already had a room to live in, she could use it to get all kinds of nice clothes and things, and she could actually start to save money, she wasn't sure what she needed to save it for, but people said it was good. "Can we get on with all of this stuff? I want to go buy some new clothes, all I have is the clothes agent Daniels bought me after I shifted and wrecked mine yesterday during the car accident."

Once the lawyers are done answering Tyrone's questions so he knows he's not going to be doing things he wouldn't want to do, he'll sign the papers. It'd be a short episode for him otherwise.

The Meeting Room
"You need to learn some patience, Miguel," Silvertip says, a bit of a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, this is not an instantaneous thing. The physical will not take place until all of you have agreed to either sign or not sign the contract. There is to be a press conference at 3:00 PM this afternoon, which all team members must attend. Once all that is done, you'll have access to your payment within 24 hours, tomorrow morning, I'm guessing," Winters states.

"As for endorsement types, yes, anything unbefitting a public figure will not be allowed; posing nude for a magazine certainly falls in that catagory. But also anything that takes an unreasonable commitment of time on your parts also will not be acceptable. There are no hard and fast rules, use common sense and each will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis."

Suddenly, both Silvertip and Jersey Devil begin to beep. Activating their communicators, they both reply afirmatives to a voice none of you can hear. "Well, looks like we can't stick around for all the interesting lawyer stuff, kiddies," Devil says as he and Silvertip make their way out the door, "but it's back to work. See you soon."

B-Ball Court
Jennifer listens to Misha, saying nothing, and pausing for a moment after he's done speaking. "It was just the way you left, and the timing...I know I don't need to worry about you, but..."

*beep beep*

An tiny alarm sounds from the logo on Jennifer's uniform. She touches it, saying "Yes? Okay...." She listens a for a few moments to the voice in her earpiece before a her features turn to a frown. "Devil, Silvertip, and me....no, they're still in Chicago, no word from them yet...understood. We'll be there, ASAP. Screaming Eagle out." She looks at Misha. "Sorry, duty calls. We can talk later, but I have to go. See you," she says. As she leaves, she reactivates her comm. "Guys, we've got a problem in Baltimore. Devil, get the areodyne prepped, I'll fill you in on the way."

Rachel is certain there is something wrong with Winter's logic, she knew at some point the media people were gonna catch her naked, she didn't really like wearing clothes, and her other forms, neccessary for what she was gonna be doing were gonna destroy whatever clothes she was wearing anyway, so at some point she was gonna be naked in front of peopl, she wasn't happy about it, she was pretty shy about all of it, especially since everyone was so much older and more experienced then she was, but she decided to not let herself be embaressed, something that would probably be much easier to convince herself of then to actually do.

"Well, I guess that answers my questions," Rachel says, giving a smile, before looking to the others to see if they had a any. Her tummy growled and she had the grace to look embarresed, "Sorry, my body burns energy a lot faster then normal, so I have to eat a lot more then most people to just get enough to not lose weight, like triple or something." she explains, "I think I'll go get something to eat while you guys wait for the lawyers since a bunch of us have already signed." she rifles her hands through her pockets looking for money for the cafeteria, and then sighs, pulling her driver's license out, she didn't have a wallet, only the license put on a necklace so she wouldn't lose it, slipping it around her neck, she gives another sigh, "Or not. Anyone have any money?" she asks innocently, tryng to give off the everyone's favorite kid-sister vibe.

He cracks a smile, "It's okay, I understand."

Misha nods and speaks just before she leaves, "Jennifer, take care of yourself out there. Good luck."
