...Wow.

This got hectic faster than Jack expected. Everyone was, unsurprisingly, startled by him tearing open a portal from across realities. But he would've assumed dear old Drake had at least remembered that he was the one crazy enough to do something like that. He caught the note from Alizee as she stormed out, apparently [i]someone[/i] recognized him. [color=6644ff]"Oh, Drake, you don't remember your old punching b-"[/color] [i]Holy shit, Simone.[/i]

Drake got fucking blasted, sent into a wall just as quickly as he could flash a lightning halberd in Jack's face. This was an absolute mess already, Luca was nice enough to fill him in. [color=6644ff]"Kali, the one who was always skittish and solitary? An agent of the state? That is... Ironic."[/color] He never expected a guy like that to pick up anything so... Corporate and cold. He always seemed like the type of dude who would just run a bookstore or something. 

[color=6644ff]"Clearly, some of you moved on more than I thought. It's [i]me, Jack.[/i] The one who lost an arm to the Stygian Snake? The one who helped find the weapon we killed that monster with? I apologize for terrifying some of you, but I just happened to be an entire [i]universe[/i] away, so I would be running even later, were I to simply walk in from elsewhere. Now- What is this about the FBI and our little town?"[/color] He asked, before turning his attention to everything as a whole. [i]No one[/i] was too happy about Kali's sudden announcement of being a federal agent, which was understandable since most of them came from dubious backgrounds. Kali had his own points that were worth keeping in mind. The government of this country they were in could easily sweep in and put the whole town under lockdown from the shadows, and eventually [i]they[/i] would be the ones under scrutiny, not Father Wolf, not the bikers that ran drugs, but the Adepts and Aberrants that could warp reality, make weapons out of lighting and freeze someone solid with a touch. 

So, after hearing everyone out, Jack took a seat. And gave Kali a glare upon the gun's reveal.

Kill him, kick him our or let him stay. 

[color=6644ff]"Everleigh is right. I remember the old days better than most, given the way I've experienced time lately. You were [i]never[/i] this convicted on [i]anything,[/i] Kali. You were always just... Skittish. You never had the nerve to do things that involved a badge. But replacing government oversight with yourself [i]was[/i] the better decision, if you ask me. I can understand [i]why[/i] you came instead of them. But surely you know that the FBI is worthless where the paranormal is concerned. We all put a demigod to sleep as [i]children,[/i] why would we take them seriously? Moreover, how do we know you aren't the only agent involved? What response were you expecting from [i]this[/i] group of people, if not distrust?"[/color] Jack, personally, did not feel threatened by Kali's badge, the gun, or his whole vibe right now. Not in any way, shape or form, but he was inclined to believe that trust was needed badly right now.

[color=6644ff]"Killing Kali will raise alarms, and sending him away will risk giving his... [i]Handlers[/i] the impression that he has been compromised somehow. If everyone else is willing, then I vote we keep Kali here, on the condition that he continues to be honest about his intentions, and makes himself as harmless as possible to this group. The FBI is beneath me, so I have nothing to lose by being on their watchlists, but some people have [i]very[/i] legitimate reasons for not wanting the government breathing down their necks. And very little stands in the way of us making their lives miserable if they threaten us, you included. So, if you want to stay, then earn it. And I hope you do, because the last thing I want to see is more of my old friends left to die."[/color]
