Society of Justice 3: Crisis on the Earth

[socialtangent]

Inside the garage of the Promenade, Levi Harland grinned happily and lifted his bronze work goggles up to his forehead. "Alright, Taryn, everything's done down here!" he said as he set a small blowtorch aside. Closing a metal pannel and sealing it with a quick pulse of magnetic energy, Levi stood and straightened his vest, brushing a bit of dust off. "I think this'll be better than ever," he said as he inspected their work. At Richard's request, Levi and Taryn had spent three days assisting him with this project. Three days well spent, he thought. It had been a while since Levi had this much fun working on something. He leaned against a stack of crates. "What kind of new recruits do you think we'll be looking at?" he asked Taryn.

Tyson sat in the entrance to his apartment building and checked his watch. It was twenty minutes past the start of pick ups. "I'm probably last to be picked up," Tyson thought to himself as he put some gum in his mouth and started to chew and blow bubbles. Beside Tyson sat two bags. One was filled with his armor, weapon, ammunition, and mask. The other bag contained the little clothes he had and his will.

Time was starting to tick by and Tyson looked out the glass door. The Limo wasn't insight, but Tyson could see his reflection. His hair was short and still within military regulations, he had stubble showing that he could have shaved off but choice not to, and he was wearing a suit for the first time since before joining the military.

Tyson checked his watch again and barely a minute had passed.

As Richard and Brian talked Sebastian put the limo back in drive as he followed the route to the next new member. After ten minutes of driving through the streets of Nova City Sebastian slowed down and pulled up next to Steven McPhearson, honking the horn a few times to get his attention.

Garrus sat down at the kitchen table taking a few bites of a sandwich as he called his restaurant, making sure everything was going well without him. After his sous chef hung up on him telling him not to worry Garrus called his wife, asking if she was going to come over once she picked up the phone.

"I hope so," Brian said. "So what is the deal with this then? Like I know we have have these special powers and stuff right, and I know there is a lot of the little crimes and stuff going on, but is this seriously like the comics? Like, are there really any Lex Luthors or that that we actually have to fight? Cause, that would be pretty extreme, and I don't know how good I am yet, at least with my powers that could actually hurt anyone. I'm really rusty at it..."

 

[Lefthandofgod]

Steven snapped out of his daze at the sight of the limo. 'Well, at least my indentured servatude will be in style,' he thought. He entered the car casually, making the interior of the car brighter as he sat down. "Hello. I'm Steven McPhearson. But I assume you already have my file, seeing as how I was coercered into applying. It is a pleasure to meet you."

 

[blaze96]

"There are more Lex Luthor types out there than most would like to admit Brian." Richard replied before Steven joined them in the limo.

"Hello, name's Richard Masterson. I guess you are in the same boat that I was when I first joined then? Trust me, it may seem worse than any prison right now, but it tends to grow on you after a bit. Just give it time."

---------------------

Lillian picked up the phone before hearing Garrus ask his question.

"Yes Garrus, I'll be there with Renton once everyone is there." Lillian said with one hand holding the phone and the other holding their one year old child so he didn't go walking off.

The limo sped up twords their next destination. Steven seemed to glow for a moment, then took a deep breath. "I suppose that's true. Either way, loosing my temper won't change my situation. Cest la vie I suppose. I think I see the next destination up ahead," he said, trying to change the subject as quickly as possible.

 

[NeoAC]

"Damn," Brian commented. He looked out the window for a moment or two as the limo started to slow down. He turned to the other guy who had been picked up, he had something of a glow to him. It was almost incandescent. "Hey, by the way. I'm Brian."

 

[Lizmichi]

"And I am Alex Masterson. I joined the Society to kill the man the murdered my mother but soon found my self drawn to the Society and other things." Alex joked. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you." Alex said giving them a slight nod.

 

[elementsoul]

Tyson looked up and saw a limo approaching. He grabbed his bags and stepped out the door checking the tops of the surrounding buildings and the streets for anyone suspicious. As the limo stopped outside the building Tyson signaled the driver to open the truck and Tyson put his bags in it.

As Tyson opened the door to the limo and saw a man with short brown hair in a suit, a woman with long black hair, a relatively tall man with longish dirty blond hair, and another man where business casual clothing and sunglasses. Tyson entered and introduced himself, "Hi. I'm Tyson Bishop and I'm glad to have the opportunity to be a part of this organization." The limo took off and Tyson sat down. This can't be everyone who's joining. They were clearly behind schedule. This will be a change of pace for sure.

 

[tsatoma]

"Alright then Lillian. Can't wait to see you two," Garrus replied as he ended the call, leaning back in his chair as he grabbed another sandwich to eat.

----

Sebastian waited until Tyson was in and settled before driving off to the next person on the list, a Michael Sterling. He pulled up to the park, putting the limo in park as he looked around for Michael.

 

[Birras]

Michael shouldered his duffel bag and walked over to the limo. He pulled open the door and climbed inside. When he entered, the temperature inside the limo seemed to rise by five degrees. "Afternoon," he said, "I'm Michael Sterling."

 

[RBMidknight]

"Hopefully ones that will fit in." Taryn Foundre replied to Levi as she carefully walked around their now-completed project with her arm outstretched. Her hand hovered less than a foot from the surface. When she reached the end of her circle Taryn gave a satisfied nod. Lowering her arm Taryn walked toward Levi. The fingers of her right hand flexed at her side. A small electric spark appeared at the tip of her little finger, traveled across her fingers to her thumb, then flashed before blinking out of existence.

Taryn reached the crates but chose to stand next to Levi. "I'm curious to find out about their abilities." she commented.

 

[Lizmichi]

"Please to met you Micheal, I'm Alex Masterson also known as Mist." Alex said holding her hand out to shake his hand. "If I may as what are all of your powers?" Alex asked blinking feeling a huge difference in his body heat compared to her low body heat. It was even higher then a normal body heat.

 

[Birras]

Michael extended his hand to accept Alex's handshake, but pulled back, "I'm sorry, I'd love to shake your hand, but I'm afraid I might burn you. You see, I can control heat and fire. Occasionally, things I touch with my bare skin burst in to flame. It's why I don't play the violin any more. I've gotten it under control for the most part, but I don't want to risk it. What about you? What are your powers?"

 

[blaze96]

"Nice to meet the both of you, Richard Masterson. I'm otherwise known as Blue Steel. If you don't know why I have that name you'll learn soon enough." Richard said.

 

[Lizmichi]

"I can control water in all its forms for ice to steam. Also I can produce a light and dark energy that can ether hold someone down or blast them away, however, that power is brought out with anger so I don't use it much." Alex said pulling back her hand.

 

[Lefthandofgod]

Steven was suddenly at attention towords Alex. "I'm sorry, but did you just say you could manipulate light? I never met another person who could do that. I would love to see how that works, if you dont mind" Flexing his hand for a moment, he produced a silvery bird that flew small circles around his arm. "Can you do anything like that?" he asked.

 

[Lizmichi]

Alex looked over at Steven. "I can't manipulate light independently from darkness but yes I can control light but it's source comes from my body. I can make things out of ice but not my light and dark powers." Alex said then created a ball of water that danced around the limo and returned to her small gourd of water.

 

[Lefthandofgod]

Steven smiled slightly, though the smile didn't seem to reach his eyes. "Thank you for the information. I'm quite sure it will be usefull in the future." He carefully adjusted his sunglasses as the silver bird landed on his arm and began to slowly fade away.
