Hope grins at Ms. White. "True. We know what they did. But we don't know what their further plans are. I might be able to read that through whatever Barrington touched. Even though it hasn't happened yet, his plans are still up here" she tapped her head meaningfully. "And were formed in the past."
She looks at Mr. Black. "I might have an associate in mind. Oxcorp. Alot of the funds apparently were funneled through them. Even if the CEO was clueless, which I doubt, there's someone on their rolls who is on the take."
[sblock]
Mr. Black says "Tthat could be a problem. Of course, were this my blackops days, I'd say its only a problem if any Chicom army pukes see us through masks and other disguises, and live to report back, but this is a Capes outfit, so that won't fly. Still, if we can get deep enough into his base undetected and seal off it off, we can avoid the military presence and just deal with the Doc's androids. Its still OK to kill androids, right?"[/sblock]
"Well, I don't know much about Chinese law, but destruction of private property and wonton target practice still carries some stiff penalties, even here." Hope quipped.

"There are a lot of ifs involved," Megan says. "But it probably wasn't supposed to be captured - if we can modify it - or her - then it could 'escape' and head home. Then it would make sense that it doesn't have the new codes. Probably still suspicous, but it only needs open a crack for a technopath's power. Just an idea, anyway."
"If it'd cause some sort of incident for us to fight him over there, then how come it's not a sticky situation when he sends robots to attack stuff while being protected by the Chinese government." This is all too big for me.
Victim said:
"Because. This is America. If we do anything 'sticky', it'll hit us straight in the teeth because we're not supposed to. And the world nations would like nothing better than to use that as an excuse to raise holy hell over it. China on the other hand doesn't have to deal with that pesky sort of nonsense like respecting national borders and doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is." she explained. "It's politics. Be glad we're not involved in that."
"Alright wait," Viridian says. "We're making this way too complicated. Barrington's holed up in the Lighthouse, but Blitz has the Eye of Hell, and he's on Earth. There -has- to be some way they have planned to get Blitz up there with the prize. We just have to figure out what it is."
"What can the Lighthouse do, assuming Barrington has full control of its systems?"

"That gives me an idea. He might need help, and if he's working for Barrington anyone that might help him could have the oppertunity to join up." Amanda begins.
"My first thought was to masqurade as people who are already members of Barrington's circle, but instead of trying to mimic someone who already exists we could pose as realativly unheard of Supervillians, from South Africa or England or just broken out of Bruckner ridge or something similar.
With all the chaos Barrington caused it would be very likely that some new or unknown or just unlucky supervillians are seeing an oppertunity and want to join Barrington's organization.
I'm not going to pretend I have even the slightest idea of what Barrington is planning or who he has with him, but it could be a shot at getting close to him without him suspecting anything. We do have the advantage that, no offence, most of us are relativly unknown as Heroes and if we disappeared for awhile no one would notice.
Hope shifted, not wanting to reveal who she was, most of the heroes here would not be happy, as the Hellborn Saint, her reputation was mixed at best, at least in the Supers community.
In fact, on the international scope, she was listed as a Wildcard, neither superhero nor villian. At best, the general opinion within the supers community was that she was an 'antihero'. At worse well. Some would always try to keep a toe on the moral highground.
"There is something I haven't exactly told you about. I sort of have a street name, something I've picked up in the course of my work at the Fed and AEGIS and a little before that."
"On the street, I'm known as the Hellborn Saint." she looked at each of them. "I'd probably be the best one to try to infiltrate Barrington's circle. It's not like I haven't done undercover work before," she looked rueful.
"My reputation in the 'cape community is murky enough that Barrington might be willing to give me a chance." she smirked a little. "I wouldn't even have to alter my appearence or lie much either, there aren't alot of people out there who have made the connection between 'Hope Winters' government agent and "The Hellborn Saint,"

"It sounds like we already are if we can cause an international incident."
Shooting Star turns to Viridian. "Hmm, taking down Blitz before he can join up with the others seems like a good idea. Dr. Otaku" I can't believe I forgot that name. "can probably set up a teleporter to work with the Lighthouse's network. Of course, they might want to use the gem for something here."
"I don't like the idea of going undercover. What exactly are you willing to do to establish your super villain creds? Rob a bank? Kill a person if Barrington asks you to? It seems better not to get involved in that sort of thing. Also, he saw me up close. I could say that I'm changing sides, but I don't think I could sell it, especially under pressure. We don't know if they have mind reading stuff either."
(On the other hand, going undercover would be an interesting adventure.)

Her expression was grim and she nodded in agreement to Shooting star, "What I'm willing to do if asked... I don't know." she said honestly. "Mostly when Feds do go undercover, establishing credentials is a tricky business at best. Robbing a bank might be a good idea, especially if we get the bank's cooperation before hand." she tapped her finger on her leg. "Still, it's too complicated for what we need, even if we could pull it off."
She looked at Mr. Black. "What does the eye of hell do? Has anyone been able to figure that out?" she asked quietly.
She looked inward, trying to come up with a possible plan, something that might work....
