Sorry again for not remembering your graduation. Things have been really hectic here with joining this new team. I can’t tell you everything about it, just like before, but maybe you can see it when the movie comes out. Just kidding, of course. It will be a while, if ever, before we are up to Power Force standards. We don’t even have a name yet, though Poltergeist came up with some decent ones. Hopefully we won’t have Nathan choosing one or worse yet, Hacker. He is the computer we use for investigations and his programming is a bit weak. Immature, if you want to get technical.The people I am teamed up with are a pretty good lot, although none but Arsenal has any government or military experience, although Poltergeist was in a youth meta team. Poltergeist you could say would be close to the group leader and we elected her tactical leader. She has powers of TK, allowing her to fly and my favorite, keep people from moving around so everyone can blast them from afar. Saved our butt on our first mission. Steel Scorpion seems to be on my level of humor, although he is far richer than I will ever be. He made a suit of armor himself, with huge claws and a tail that shoots bolts. Oh, yeah. It is shaped like a scorpion. Duh. Arsenal is a mystery. He seems to be a altered human, like me (someone called me a mutate yesterday, I almost cracked him in his jaw), but much more severely. He has permanent sunglasses that alter his vision and a HUGE pistol that fires different types of shots. And check this out, he has cybernetic limbs, like a robot. Talks like a computer, too. Weird stuff. Our last member, Biologic, is a bigger mystery. I am not sure about where his suit came from, but it is a sort of goop. He can stretch it out and climb walls with it. It makes him really strong and protects him, but he is a little goofy, like he can’t socialize with normal people. Well sorta normal, you know.Then there is me. I feel like a one trick pony in this crowd. All I do is run fast and punch people. The problem is, everyone can do that. Then later, when that fails, they can do something else. Not me, just running and punching. Didn’t even get to be team leader. Not even tactical leader. Well, enough sob story, sorry sis.So a paralegal, huh? Finally getting out on your own. Hopefully I won’t need your services after you pass the bar (on the first try, no doubt). We got a stern warning from Nathan, our employer about the dangers of superhero life. And no, I still don’t like being called a meta-human. Besides the obvious of getting hurt, now we have to worry about going to jail for fighting with real bad guys. Maybe I should have taken that appointment to the LAPD. Would have side-stepped around that little problem. Especially with the cops in LA!! Of course Rodney King was no supervillain, would have made more sense if he had been. One thing that has me a little annoyed still was what happened to us today. We went to visit the “legendary” Skull. Yes, the real Skull. Except when we went to ask for our help, he began kicking our asses. I called for help over our radios and moved in for the fight. We all tried to talk to him, I even held back until the last moment each time I had an opening to see if he was crazy or mind-controlled or something. Finally, he grabbed Poltergeist and we heard that weird communication he does. There is no way for a movie to describe it, it is eerie. Anyway, we hear in our head, “Stop or she dies”. So we all stop. I hold off on attacking. Then Poltergeist goes ahead and flings her cape in front of his face. She makes the move, our newly elected battle leader, so I move forward and attack. Skull puts her down, says to her, “You are dead”. Then he goes into how it was all a test, which I already figured, but hey, who can be sure? Anyway, he is saying, you all failed, you aren’t good enough to be working on this project and how I let my team down. I was so pissed at that point, I just walked out. Later on, he berates me for being a coward and for jeopardizing my teammate, but I didn’t care. We all we did what we could and did a good job against a monster in battle like that.Well, sis, take care. Just to let you know, that was my last three thousand for a while, so instead of buying a real nice car, maybe save some back to help get an apartment near your job. I’ll send money when you need it.Love,    Danny</blockquote>
