The Society of Justice: A Super Hero Roleplay

Garrus took a seat at the kitchen table after throwing his wrapper away, laying his head against the table as he listened to the chatter.

He was happy that his plan to save everyone had worked, but at the same time he was disappointed that they needed to go to that length to save themselves. 'We really need to get stronger, or at least have better plans,' he thought to himself tiredly.

Connor wanders back in, feeling a bit more composed. He gathers his things, and realized he felt more familar with this new place. As we walked past he greeted Dona, not realizing until later he never met her face to face, much less she dipped into his brain. Walking into the kitchen he heads to the fridge. Grabing a coke he notices Garris, and gives him a small salute by raising his drink.

"Your the field captain right?"

"Wuh-? Oh, hi. You must be one of the new recruits that Cillian messaged me about," Garrus said with a sudden jolt before giving Connor a slight wave.

"I'm something like that I guess. We don't really have an official leader of the group. We just all kinda have our own input and things like that. I have been a member the longest out of the main group, so it makes me senior member in 'time here' I guess," Garrus told Connor before properly introducing himself, "I'm Garrus Arreos."

"Gotcha Garrus, my name is Connor Cuevas. I've only done heroing while part of a strike team, military structure and all. Rubs off on ya after a while. Any case I'm hoping I can balance your team out. Read over team dossiers, you guys seem to be in need of some non lethals."

Connor saw Dona. He scanned her in the most instinctive way, feeling embarrassed with himself for staring. Then he hears her voice, a connection is made. First he thinks it's his imagination, then he considers her choice of words and feels slow.

"Not sure how weird this may sound, but you were in my head? Weren't you?"

Richard had left the lounge and entered the kitchen when Connor made his comment.

"She probably has, meet Dona. At least, I assume it's Dona considering that nobody else came through the door and nobody on the team looks like that." Richard said slightly confused at what she was doing.

"This isn't her real look mind you, I was lucky enough to see that when she was under sedation getting a bullet taken out of her head. She does that though, the whole shifting look and talking in the mind thing, you get used to it. Just be glad you didn't share a brain with her, that was not fun." he joked.

"Hah, none of us have killed without the person deserving it. We know to capture the bad guys....for the most part," Garrus explained with a chuckle, "I'm happy you can be here, and I can't wait to see what you can do."

Garrus turned to Dona, putting his palm to his forehead. "Yeah she was more than likely. That's Dona, our resident mind person. If you want her out of your head just tell her about how you want to keep your privacy."

 

[42forlife]

"Interesting.... And scary really. How much can you manipulate?.... And a demonstration can be skipped."

Bringing himself back to the conversation.

"hahummm, what do you mean deserving it?"

 

[tsatoma]

"Deserving? Well, they were trying to kill us and...actually let Richard explain it since he was the one who did it," Garrus said handing it off to Richard.

 

[blaze96]

"Hold on one second." Richard said before tossing Dona a soda.

"You do have the capacity for speech Dona. Jesus, you make it so obvious that it is you manipulating our minds. I have never once in my life felt an odd compulsion to get somebody a drink unless I was hitting on them, so when it happens for the first time in my life specifically with you I kinda know you're doing it." He groused before turning to Connor and explaining.

"So far I'm the only member of the team with a body count. My first kill was a super who was aiding a bank robbery after a jacket full of grenades went off in my face and disabled my helmet. The rest of my kills come from guards protecting the laboratory of a man who was creating a killer virus which nearly killed everyone but me. The scientist himself got off with a beating, and we actually just finished that mission before you showed up." he turned back to Dona after explaining.

"Other than a scar from where the bullet hole entered, you looked like a standard woman. Didn't take that much of a look at ya, was more worried about the outcome of the surgery and the fact the plans to my suit were stolen. So your physical appearance wasn't the most pressing issue on my mind."

"You look thirsty", Connor said as he tossed Dona a bottle of water.

"And it a weird question forme. Really this whole situation is not what I expected. Course I heard this place was like the Justice League's old base on tv. Ya know, big table, doom monitor, capes. I mean no offense this is reality, just glad I didn't request a cape with a B on it."

Connor laughs nervously, wishing he could come up with something better to say. And mentally kicks himself for using the word cape twice.

Tommy came back down stairs after e-mailing his father. He looked over at Dona's new form, before walking to Richard.

 E-mailed my dad should hear back soon. Whose this chick? She another newcomer?

 

[42forlife]

Connor felt his blood freeze in his veins, "Ummm. I think I need some air, charge up a bit."

He tries not to look at Dona or Rich, not sure how to react

 

[blaze96]

"Thank you Tommy, I appreciate what you did." Richard said before looking to Dona.

"You didn't really kill anyone, what you did was merely try and get him to leave you alone. I'm the only one on the team who has directly killed someone. If you think of what you did as killing, I can assure you you did no such thing. The man was trying to do only god knows what to you, and you responded how most people would have, defensively." he said to Dona before sighing at what Connor had said.

"Look Connor, if you can't stand the fact I've killed, say so. I'm sure most of the team dislikes me for my methods, but I believe them to be more than just. I have no problem if somebody doesn't like the things I've done, but just say so. I'm a firm believer in kill one to save a thousand, and killing thirteen to save billions is a trade I am willing to make and a hatred from others I am more than willing to bear. So don't pussy foot around me all right."
