Unlike others who were already at the headquarters, Invisigal was up to her late-night bullshit. whether it was "one last job for the road" or some side quest she had deemed important she can hear Robert's voice come back over comms after he was supposed to have punched out for the evening. "Team? need you back at HQ, something's wrong"

Chatter from the team comes with both concern and mild annoyance before Robert's voice comes back on with more urgency. "Shit, we've got...two..four..six? Dozen- fuck I can't estimate, we've got a lot of very unfriendly people surrounding HQ, get your asses back here!".

“You didn’t have to be so reckless just to prove a fucking point.”

"I'm not being reckless!" Locker door slams closed, where there was once empty space was now a rightfully concerned, and understandably pissed off Visi. He would love to stand there and get reprimanded by his coworker, Royd was going to need an extra set of hands working on the suit.

"I was limit testing that's what you do with equipment"

never mind that typically someone was not in the equipment that was being limit tested, and that was also done in a controlled setting, not during an android uprising...

@villainpowers asked: “it takes an advanced sense of humor. i don't expect everyone to understand.”

"No no, I see it." Kate tilts her head to the side. "Its a cat, but with a weird face. Why is its face so weird?"

When she'd been pitched the concept of working at SDN, Xue would've never imagined that there would be so much waiting around. Between waiting for calls, waiting around after getting back from calls, waiting for other people to get off break, it seems like she spends a lot more time trying to figure out how to get her hand up the vending machines or savaging the workout equipment in the gym than actually... going out and saving the day.

But it's probably just growing pains. They have to see how good she is before they start giving her the big jobs, right? It's the same as working at the arena. You gotta play around in the low cards before they'll throw you anything with meat on it, and Xue can't help if she's already hungry. In more ways than one.

She's currently sitting on the bench in the gym, two containers of leftover Chinese takeout keeping her company. One's empty - the other's... in the process. Her eyes flick up as the door opens, then her brows furrow as "nobody" comes through. The chopsticks that had been frenetically funnelling carbs into her mouth slow, stop, and the little firebrand puts the paper carton down, standing from her place of rest.

"...hey! You must be Inivisigirl."

She hesitates.

"They... told me I was gonna run into you. What's up?"

Gonna be real embarrassing if she's talking to an empty room.

It's been two days since the inevitable cut, two days since Coop was let go and seemed to just...blip completely off the map. Worrying, and though Coupe had thrown a furious sneer in his direction as she left Sonar hoped she was just fine and not plotting her vengeance against all of them.

Waterboy was recruited literally the next day, fucking rude honestly, and the rest of the Z-Team went straight in on the insults that Sonar didn't fully join in on, minus a jab or two at his expense. See, he likes bullying those who bully him back. If they don't then what's the goddamn point? That's why Robert was fun to tease. He gave as good as he got.

Waterboy just simpered. Though, Sonar has no doubts that he'll find his footing among the team eventually.

Gaze darting upwards at the leaderboard, his eyes land on his name now fully on the bottom of the listing. Coupe's name had finally been removed from the roster, which just left him and Visi side-by-side. Now that he's shown that he deserved the spot on the team, he just now had to continue to show that he was dedicated to this.

Fuck, he's gonna have to figure out a way to pick up his ratings though. It's just fucking hard when it feels like it's a push and pull for control when it came to the Bat.

A twitch of one of his ears has his eyes flicking briefly to the empty space beside him; though there appears to be no one there, his excellent hearing does not lie. The hybrid sniffs, reclines back in his seat, and finally pulls his sight from the bullpen to squint fully at the empty space next to him.

"Peeping on me, Vis?" He huffs, speaking openly and plainly. He waves his phone around, grumbling. "I'm looking at bugs on my phone. Just looking into buying Golden Stag Beetles. Nothing you'd be interested in." And maybe he's considering places for lunch too. Doesn't look like he's gonna be sent out again before the end of the first shift.

@villainpowers what, you mean you don't trust me to handle it myself?

Blazer could feel Chase's stare bear down on her. A surprising feat since there was a cubicle wall between them, judgement that transcended barriers. All of her sighing wasn't helping, knew that much at least. However, rolling her eyes was frowned upon and couldn't be conveyed over comms.

Exasperation had to go somewhere.

"It's protocol. We do our best not to send anyone alone" were there exceptions, sure. Happened all of the time when a crew was overcommitted or others had to be patched and only one person was available. Ideally though, they'd work in pairs in case things went sideways.

"Golem is heading to your location. Hang tight" knew she had to specify otherwise Invisigal would zip off to the call. She still might do that.

Keeping that in mind, Blazer switched to the private channel, Visi was still new, so couldn't hurt to remind her. "We talked about this yesterday, but couldn't tell if you were still around to hear it" the other woman tended to go invisible when she felt a conversation was over. Never in her life had Blazer been ghosted in person, face to face, but first time for everything, so she simply wanted to reinforce their last meeting.

"You need to work on teamwork, Golem is less...agile and quick, sure, but he's good back up for defense and offense purposes. So please, don't do anything just yet, wait for him to meet you."

SENDER: @villainpowers !! PROMPT: aw, you look like shit.

“ What --- I am literally wearing a full face mask right now. ” Her power was only turning invisible when she was holding her breath... right? Because he was sporting a black eye beneath his mask, and it worried him that she'd blindly guessed that. “ Are you tryna bait me? Is this the beginning of a roast battle? ”

“plug my earholes she says.” the doctor quietly comments, muttering a quick ‘thanks’ when he receives his drink. corvus is always up for a drink or two, especially with other people, he isn’t much of a solo drinker—alcohol mixed with whatever is going on in his head at the time isn’t really that good of a combination. courtney, for whatever reason, decided to drag him out and some of his staff were more than happy to shove him out of the door.

“i’ve been scouting out places.” he starts off, taking a moment to down some of his drink. “i wanted to open a new clinic and i guess someone from the SDN heard, one of their reps approached me and offered me a deal.” he leans back against his seat, drink still in hand as he looks over at the younger woman. “they’ll pay for construction, equipment and deal with all of the legalities and in exchange, i sign on as their medical practitioner and provide my services to the heroes.”

it was certainly interesting for the most part, something different and that was the reason why he took their deal. let someone deal with the tedious parts, all he had to do was find the right people to work for him and have them undergo the proper training—even if such training included some minor things such as weapons combat, self-defense and how to identify demonic and celestial possession, etc. “they said i could pick out any location within their network, i decided on torrance.”
