Society of Justice 3: Crisis on the Earth

"She wasn't there that day, genius. Yeah, your memory's totally going wonky." Erebus piped up, Jason realizing his mistake.

"Oh yeah, I forgot you didn't come with us that day...Lucky..." Jason said, pausing momentarily before blurting out another "thank you" and walking towards the main entrance of The Promenade, the cool breeze of the building's internal AC greeting his bare chest and other body parts. Making his way towards the lounge, he greeted all who inhabited the room, tossing the core of the apple into the garbage can as he walked into the kitchen.

"Decent enough, you have the signature of someone whose been infused with magic, due to your dad. You'll pass that on to the kid, in fact he could learn magic either way, even if he didn't get that boost from you. As for whether or not he'll be like Leland, as in innate magical ability that doesn't need to be learned, you'll probably see that when he old enough to use full sentences, keep an eye out for things going missing, sudden fires, electrical shortages, small tornadoes, lesser demons, wails of the dead, blood pouring out of sinks, and a destabilization of reality in general, those tend to be the first signs of a prodigy." Tommy told Garrus as he finished the last of his Cranberry juice.

Levi grinned in return and spoke playfully as he stepped past her in the doorway. "You know it, my love". He planted a quick kiss on her lips before he stepped all the way though. Levi held the door open for Taryn so she could step in before letting it close. "To the lounge? I don't know about you, but I could use something to drink".

"I do not look forward to that if he does have that innate ability. I guess I better enjoy this year than before he can speak in full sentences. All of those sound downright terrifying, and if I and Lillian have to deal with that I think we'll both go crazy," Garrus replied, giving Jason a wave and inviting him over to sit with them.

"Thanks for telling me though Tommy. Not sure if it will help, but it will make sleeping tonight that much more difficult," he said.

 

[Captainguy42]

"Meh, it's not that bad." Tommy told Garrus before looking over to Jason, "Hey man, whats going on? Are you prepared for any recruits from hell?"

Tommy then stood up and went over and grabbed another sandwich and glass of juice before joining the others.

"Man I love cranberry juice, dried cranberries too, I wonder if I can get Katie to grow me some..." He muttered as he sat sat down.

'Well now that you mention it...' Taryn nodded. "Sound good." She said in response to Levi. Taryn began walking toward the front door of the Promenade. As she moved through the well maintained grass she pulled out her phone to check the time. Taryn's eyebrow rose when she realized how long they'd been working. The recruits would definitely be arriving soon. Taryn swung open one of the big front doors and stepped into the Promenade.

"Hell no. I can still remember the ones from last year. Thank God they left. We probably would've still been stuck on that damned planet if the majority of last year's recruits decided to stick around. As long as we don't get another emo grandma, a guy dressed entirely in orange, a illiterate policeman, or any other poor excuses for superheroes, then we'll be fine...hopefully," Jason replied to Tommy as he plopped down on the couch.

"It is taking them kinda long to gather them all up though...think there's a traffic jam going on or something? The suspense is rising with each second." He asked.

 

[NeoAC]

"Dude, that's pretty fucked up right there!" Brian commented on the latest occurrence. "So you can just like change yourself at will? That is awesome! That is so much better than me! I mean, you can be anyone! God damn!"

 

[CounterAttack]

"Well, yeah, I can look like anyone I want, even women, but I can only change after being in one form for ten minutes or I shift back to my normal appearance," Rowan explained, smiling at the voice he was using. He liked it, and had occasionally used it when speaking to others for their amusement. "See, this is why people call me Silhouette, 'cause it's so hard for them to remember who I am sometimes."

 

[Lefthandofgod]

Steven was intrigued at Rowan's display. "Impressive. I've actually been working on something like that." He flexed his arm and a beautiful silvery woman appeared next to him. "It's a shame that I cant seem to make them have color though."

 

[socialtangent]

Levi and Taryn walked through the main entrance of the Promenade, heading down the currently empty halls. They stepped through the double doors leading into the lounge. Levi looked around and noticed that Garrus, Tommy, and Jason were already there. He offered a wave to them as he headed to the fridge in the kitchen, looking for a drink.

"Interesting, but not the most interesting thing I've seen. Not by far, once you meet Leland and have your first adventure with Mordtoten, you'll see what I mean. A little shape shifting and constructs is nothing compared to some of the stuff those two pull. Each of them is a pain alone, let alone together." Richard replied.

 

[Lizmichi]

"Then add on to that Major Crime, and Camille and you have some crazy ass shit. Oh yes and my father as well." Alex said kissing Richard softly putting a hand on his lap.

"Now out of curiosity why did you all join the Society?" Alex asked.

 

[NeoAC]

Wow, almost slightly awkward there. Hope they're like dating or something...

"Um...well I don't know, to be honest," Brian replied. "Seemed like the right thing to do? I mean, like I've went out by myself a few nights there, and it's probably not best for me to go at this sort of thing alone, so I just thought, you know, security in numbers, right?"

 

[Lefthandofgod]

Steven glowed for a moment and looked as if he was about to yell, but then his silvery construct put her hand on his shoulder. He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, fixed his sunglasses, and spoke with an overly calm voice. "I was...coerced...into joining by the government. I'll skip the details. They're on my file if you're really that interested.

 

[CounterAttack]

Bypassing Richard's comments - the names were unfamiliar to him - Rowan answered Alex instead. "A recommendation from my ex-girlfriend after I took care of a problem for her in Snake Alley. Long story short, she fell in with the wrong crowd, they kidnapped her and I... resolved the situation, for lack of a better word. She broke it off a while later with the suggestion that I join you. The entire incident was in my application, if I remember correctly."

 

[blaze96]

"I've learned to pretty much ignore the files, let Garrus worry about who to pick and why. Files can only tell me so much, it is only when I meet the recruits I can actually figure you all out." Richard replied.

 

[Lefthandofgod]

Steven seemed to process Richards words slowly. He sat motionless for a moment, turned to him and replied "Well then. What do you make of me then?"

 

[RBMidknight]

Taryn's gaze followed Levi as he moved toward into the kitchen. When he was out of sight she shifted to look at each of the Society members who were in the lounge. Taryn offered her own small wave and a brief smile. Not wanting to interrupt any conversations, Taryn walked toward one of the empty sofas. She inspected the cushion then sat down to wait for Levi to return. Her fingers tapped against her knee in a short pattern.

 

[blaze96]

"What I have been able to gather about you all so far is that you will be useful. Your powers are varied and sure to come in handy in a fight. You personality may be volatile, but no more than mine was. You do seem like the sort that is at least willing to help if not necessarily happy about doing so. The rest is rather unimportant at the moment. What is important is that, realize it or not, you are Society material. Now how advanced you all truly are will be tested later, but so far I like this batch far better than the last. A major improvement is simply the fact one of you hasn't punched another yet." Richard said.
