Society of Justice 3: Crisis on the Earth

[CounterAttack]

"Well, that's fair enough, I guess. But then, I can't really judge 'cause I don't know about the last time you brought in new recruits," Rowan said, adjusting the jacket that had come with changing into Castle's form. "I'm going to assume it was bad and leave it at that. What kind of testing will we be facing? Preferably something combat-oriented. I haven't tested my... other talent, shall we say, for a while. Not since the time I burned a one-inch hole clean through twelve inches of solid steel."

Looking briefly through the refrigerator, Levi found nothing that really appealed to him at the moment. Soda was always nice, but it wasn't the most hydrating beverage. Milk was okay, but he didn't feel like taking out a glass. Ultimately, Levi decided to pull out a bottle of water for himself and one for Taryn from the fridge. He opened his bottle and took a few sips as he made his way back to the lounge, over where Taryn was sitting in an empty sofa. He took a seat next to her and shifted a bit until he was comfortable. Levi handed Taryn the spare bottle. "Just thought I'd get you one too," he said.

"I must admit, the idea of some combat would be rather exciting," Steven said, while making the silver woman vanish. "I wonder, what kind of training facility would this group have? Is it a simulation? Or maybe training dummies? Or what about"-he flexed his hands and light emitted and pulsated, forming thick, silver gauntlets-"some good, old-fashioned, sparring?" His mouth formed a wicked grin at the thought, though his eyes still seemed unresponsive behind the thick sunglasses.

"Shoot, actual fighting? I'm uh...not exactly the best at it," Brian admitted, while he rubbed the back of his neck. "I mean yeah, when I played hockey we had some fights there and I got into a couple of good ones, really tagged one of those bastards from Inverness High, but that's completely different then like, actual fighting, Van Damme fighting and that sort of stuff. Plus I haven't played hockey in a bit, so I'm not going to be any good at that right away either."

"To answer your question Alex, my reason for join the Society is spite. Sure I'm joining to best help society with my powers but more importantly there are some people I want to piss off and have them not be able to do anything about it." Tyson answered honestly. If I get public recognition and favour for being a super hero the military can't just up and kill me. When I am full trusted and loved I'll release the information on the highly illegal experiments and how those politicians killed my team to cover it up. That will damn well piss them off because if they kill me they are screwed and if I live they are screwed.

Tyson then switched his attention to the conversation on the upcoming test. "I doubt it would be sparring. The things we'll be doing should be insane. Sparring's good for a test of how well you fight one on one. Realistically I'm expecting something to test our current limits and crush us under them. Could be a swarm of robots attacking us in overwhelming numbers or could be an obstacle course that's trying to kill us. Think worse case scenario." Tyson said in a cold military veteran voice with a thousand yard stare.

 

[blaze96]

"Ah that training course. Got rid of that with the second batch but it was interesting for the truly original Society members. Best part was they really didn't have anything built in for those that could fly so it wasn't actually all that bad for me in my suit." Richard said with a chuckle.

After picking up the last two new recruits Sebastian drove everyone back to the Promenade, already looking forward to dropping everyone off and heading back home until he was needed once more. He pulled up to the large beige structure, getting out of the limo and opening up the limo doors for those inside. He noted that it had taken him forty-five minutes to collect everyone, much better than last year's pick-up where everyone was so spread out.

"The Promenade, ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Masterson will show you all inside," Sebastian said, giving a slight tip of the hat.

 

[RBMidknight]

Taryn smiled and took the bottle Levi handed to her. "Thanks." she said quietly.

While they waited for the new recruits to arrive Taryn and Levi chatted idly. At one point during their conversation Taryn glanced over and noticed that Garrus was watching the Food Network on TV. Whatever the current chef was making did not look appetizing, or even edible, so she quickly turned back to Levi. She talked briefly about how she'd made some minor upgrades to the Promenade's security system. "... mostly software upgrades for better logging options." she explained.

Alex stepped out of the limo. "And welcome to the Promenade. You're new home." Alex said opening the door and walked in blinking as a now full grown Sam ran up to her. "Why hello Sam" Alex said as the cat jumped into her arms. "You missed me I see." Alex said petting her.

 

[CounterAttack]

"So, this is it. The HQ. The not-so-secret base of the Society," Rowan said with a grin, stepping out of the limo after everyone else had gotten out. Impressed by the pillars and external appearance, he nodded approvingly before following the others inside.

"Not that bad a place, I must say. And this is only the... entrance hall, I presume?" he guessed, uncertain.

[hr]

Katie perked up at the sound of an approaching car. Perhaps the new recruits had arrived. She got up from her chair and ran a hand through her hair, which she had grown out over the past year. It now reached down to slightly longer than her shoulders, and she had come to like it at that length.

Opting to go and meet the new guys, she picked a flower from a nearby bed, tucking it behind her ear for show, and entered the Promenade from the back doors, taking a slow walk through the halls. She figured Richard or Alex would probably give everyone a tour of the place before everyone went out for the obligatory training session, and with that in mind she made her way to the lounge.

 

[blaze96]

"Entrance hall and museum yes. Follow me and I will lead you to where you will all be staying during your time at The Society. Down that hall is the museum which now has a section dedicated to the current generation. In the area for current Society members we replaced the showers connected to the gym with a pool. Off the museum is a cafe, restaurant, and gift shop but I don't think you'll really care to go there very often. The gardens are out back and the area where you will be living is fairly straightforward in design." Richard said as he began to lead them to the heroes area of The Promenade.

 

[Lizmichi]

Alex followed Richard with Sam in her arms walking close to him. "Damn I remember my first day here, I wanted to kill Tommy." Alex said rolling her eyes.

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

Eric left and infirmary and walked to the lounge sitting down on the couch. "Today is the day." he said looking around.

 

[Lefthandofgod]

Vanishing his gauntlets, Steven walked along side the rest of the group, taking careful note of the cameras. 'They must take security here very seriously', he thought. 'I wonder what measures they have hidden. More importantly, I wonder who built this? This is definantly beyound commercial grade security'
"So when do we meet the other members?" he asked Richard

 

[Pm0n3y]

In midst a conversation with Garrus and Tommy, Jason soon noticed the others that entered the lounge.

"Hey Katie, are the youngbloods here yet? You were the only one outside, so you were our designated lookout." Jason asked casually.

 

[CounterAttack]

"I heard the limo pull up, so they must be here somewhere. Probably taking the tour before meeting up with us," Katie answered, taking one of the remaining seats in the lounge, opposite the others. "Hey, do you guys know if the usual training exercise is on again this time around? It was amusing watching the last batch have a go at it."

 

[socialtangent]

Levi couldn't help but laugh at Katie's comment about the last group. "You mean when Patriot tossed me halfway across the field while I was clinging for dear life on the Mechasnake?" he asked jokingly, remembering their own training exercise. Although the experience had renered Levi unconscious and significantly injured, it had been a valuable learning experience.

 

[CounterAttack]

Katie joined in with Levi's laugh. "Ah, yes, I remember that. Good times... even if you had been taken out of the fight by that. I wonder if Patriot's gonna make an appearance this time around." She had forgotten that Levi and Taryn had been in the previous group of new applicants; they had spent enough time with the Society that it felt like they were part of the original team.

 

[Pm0n3y]

"We've had the MechaSnake two years in a row, so that probably gonna come back. But, I wonder if we'll get to beat the shit out of these recruits like we did with you guys last year. Fighting Snooki was fun (albeit, a bit disappointing because he eventually rage-quit and hara-kiri'd himself)." Jason wondered, remembering the big fight that the last training session devolved into.

 

[elementsoul]

Tyson retrieved his bags from the trunk of the limo and started following Richard. Tyson wasn't paying attention to what Richard was saying as he was scanning the museum. Tyson noted some roman architecture designs in its outward appearance as he saw the abundance of security cameras. Tyson started to look around at what was in the museum as th tur led inside. Most of the historic items here could double as modern art masterpieces. Tyson tuned Richard back in as he pointed out the gym and pool. A proper gym is going to be a good change from working out in the apartment and its been forever since I had a swim. Tyson continued following and listening but didn't figure he would be using the cafe, restaurant, or gift shop at all. The garden didn't rank high on his list to visit either.

 

[tsatoma]

"If we want Patriot to join us then we'd simply need to call. Doubt he's doing too much over on his island. As of now there is no plan to kick their ass, though if things go the same way they did the last time..." Garrus started as he sat up and checked on the sandwiches, around half of the original ones he made were gone due to the constant munching.

"I guess I can just make more later..." he muttered, making sure he looked presentable, muttering something about first impressions as he sat back down and waited for the new recruits.
