I walked quickly but briskly down the hallway. I was needed for a meeting. A meeting with my team. It had been three months since Wade Howlett's last attack, and now he was trying again. This time it was more. More help, more plan, and a bigger desire to carry his plan out. That just made my desire to stop him bigger. I had spent three months putting together my team, and now I was about to talk to them. To tell them the problem, I was about to them just why I needed their help. Funny, what three months can do. I wasn't scared anymore, I was determined.
I pushed through the giant doors and into the small conference room. I'm not at liberty to say what our location is, technically this is a government operation.
"Gentlemen..." I started, trying to sound professional. "Welcome to the team. I assume you've already met each other?"
Gallatian was standing in a corner and not saying anything, and Agon was slumped in his chair. That seemed about right.
"Cut to the chase, Sara." said August. "It's really just us, and Space Face here doesn't talk. Like, at all."
"Fine." I grumbled. "As you both know there is a crisis that threatens this world and I need you to..."
"If you would stop being ominous we would help."
"Please shut up and stop interrupting August."
"Fine." he grumbled.
"Now the problem is a supervillian named..."
"She said supervillian!"
"August! If you don't shut up I will tear those wings off your back and feed them to you."
"Shutting up now." he said quickly.
"Good. Now, a supervillian named Wade Howlett, has a viable plan to control all the animals on Earth and make them attack the American government." August sat up and Jeph kept staring. I had their attention now.
"He can do that?" asked August.
"Using a form of telepathy, yes."
"So like mind control."
"That is what I implied, isn't it?"
"Query:" said Jeph. "Couldn't humans be considered animals?"
"So you can talk." remarked August.
"Let me answer him August."
"And who says query?"
"Shut up!" I yelled. Then I turned back to Jeph. "Yeah, humans are animals, but we're basically too smart to be controlled."
He nodded like it made sense.
"So he's powerful, right? Cause there are a lot of animals on Earth." asked August.
"Powerful he would be." I nodded.
August looked around nervously like he thought Howlett was in the room with him. "What do we do first?" he asked.
"Well there's one more member of our team we need to rescue. I had sent her to spy on Howlett but he found out about her. I haven't heard from her in two months."
"So we rescue her?" asked August.
"Yes, her name is Yukino Pichelli."
"What can she do?"
"She's a painter." He snorted. "Who has multiple personalities." He laughed. "With the other personality being a ninja."
He stopped and looked at me. Then he said, "You plan to save the world with a teenager, an astronaut, a painter, and a CEO?"
"No. My plan is to save the world with a Dragon, A higher Cosmic Power, a Ninja, and a Butt-Kicker."
"When you put it like that..."
"Glad you agree. Mission start in 0800 hours, but you need codenames for the operation."
"Wow codenames? What are we? Two?"
"Just pick one."
He shrugged, "Agon."
"Gallatian." said Jeph from his corner.
"Yukino is Sheath."
"And yours?" asked Agon.
"Scar. I'll see you two at the mission launch." Then I left.
Video Log: Agon
Sara, I mean Scar (I wonder why she calls herself that) wants us to do these video logs as part of mission reports. I'm too lazy to write so these video logs work just fine. She asked for our thoughts on the other members. They seem okay, but Gallatian creeps me out and Scar is way serious. People aren't that uptight without a reason I wonder what's hers?
Video Log: Gallatian
-Error- Codename: Gallatian has not recorded any logs.
Video Log: Scar
My thoughts on this team? lord help us all? I only really considered power hitters and not personalities. I'm not naming names but one of us in particular was annoying. I guess maybe a mission will whip them into line.
