	[color=C0C0C0]“Let me quickly get these names down.”[/color]  Chris pulled out his cell phone and punched in the names of the gathered superhumans for future reference.  [color=C0C0C0]“As you can tell from the nicknames, I’m not the best at remembering names with faces.  It took me a couple weeks to get my assistant’s name down.  Isn’t that right, um…”[/color]

	“Minerva.”  His assistant replied, a little annoyed that he still could not recall her name.  If he had known her true identity as the Goddess Athena, Chris would otherwise have no problems learning her name.

	[color=C0C0C0]“That’s right!”[/color]  Chris snapped his fingers, trying to make it look like he suddenly remembered the name.   [color=C0C0C0]“Now you see why I need to get some names down!”[/color]

	[color=C0C0C0]“So, first we have Icon.  I don’t think I need to record that name down.  Ever since he made his presence known in Lost Haven, the paparazzi has been running around like chicken with their heads cut off as they tried to get some sort of snap shot of him.”[/color]

 	[color=C0C0C0]“Then the Quicksilver twins are Thunderbolt and Boom.”[/color]  Chris was amused by the choice by this brother-sister duo to give themselves a codename that alluded to how the boom of thunder always follows the flash of lightning.  While, technically speaking, thunder and lightning are the same phenomena, since one is the sound and the other the light, due to the laws of nature, the light of the weather effect reaches the human eyes before the thunder’s crash could reach the human ear.

	[color=C0C0C0]“And Black Panther is Lyger.  Interesting choice.”[/color]  What Chris meant by this was that ligers, particularly male ones, are seen in popular culture as being naturally sterile.  While relatively recent research has shown this is not always the case, especially with female ligers, it still amused Chris that this hot-headed youth would take the inspiration for his superhero handle from a feline that is usually seen as sterile.  Maybe he was trying to invoke the fact that ligers were generally larger than their tiger relatives.  [color=C0C0C0]“Do you spell that with an ‘i’?”[/color]

	Last, but not least, was Radiance.  While Chris was not bothered by it, his assistant, Minerva, noticed that Radiance had been standing close by Icon.  Minerva was at least relieved that she would not have to rearrange the group assignments for the first missions because of any ‘hanky-panky’, although she would have to keep an eye out for Boom, who had also made a comment about Icon’s attractiveness.  However, Minerva was not surprised.  Would you expect otherwise from a group of fit mortals dressed in skin-tight clothing?

	[color=C0C0C0]“I know you are all restless about starting already, so let’s get going. But first, I would like to address Thunderbolt and Lyger’s concern over this so-called ‘War-Pulse’, as Lyger called him.  While he might be a mercenary, he did help out on D-Day.  Anyways, he got embarrassed by these guys who are behind this metahuman-inducing dome, so he should have a few incentives to join us.  And if he doesn’t come willingly, we will try to give him a few more incentives to join the cause.”[/color]

	[color=C0C0C0]“The first mission will be recruiting the two kids in Albany.  While I would like to send Icon to fetch them, he’s more needed in our little hunt for War-Pulse.  Therefore, [b]Lyger[/b] and [b]Radiance[/b] will go to Albany and by whatsoever means bring them back here.  Preferably as willing participants.”[/color] 

	“You might not want to mention Mr. Arthur’s name to these two kids and especially not to the ‘Spider-Girl’ because of that West Virginia incident.”  Minerva handed two manila folders over to the two superhumans, which contained information about Zac and Kelly’s whereabouts and personal information that S.T.R.I.K.E. had gathered so far.  “If you need transportation to Albany, we can provide you with it.”

	[color=C0C0C0]“Come on!  It was S.T.R.I.K.E. standard protocol!  If they had not suddenly disappear on us, might have a better understanding of whatever agent these ‘terrorists’ are planning to use in their superhuman-inducing dome.  And it hurts just thinking about that ‘Spider-Girl’.”[/color]

	“She decked him during D-Day, if you didn’t already know.”  Minerva mentioned as she gathered the remaining folders that contained the little information about War-Pulse.

	[color=C0C0C0]“I’ll be talking Icon, Thunderbolt, and Boom to ‘persuade’ War-Pulse into joining our little cause.”[/color]  Chris continued on with the assignments as he ignored what his assistant had just said.

	“From the intelligence that I have just received, War-Pulse was recently near a S.T.R.I.K.E. base.  If we hurry, we can intercept the mercenary before he can slip into hiding.”  Minerva had just received the information on her cell phone.  While it might have seemed to the others like she had gotten the information from intelligence gathered by S.T.R.I.K.E., Helios had actually alerted Minerva of War-Pulse’s location.  That little bit of information was on a ‘need to know’ basis.

	[color=C0C0C0]“I assume you three don’t need any means of transportation.  I’ll meet you all there.”  Chris then turned to the two superhumans who were not going after War-Pulse.  “When you have finished your task, return back here in Lost Haven.  I have recently purchased a luxury hotel in Sherman Square.  I got it for dirt cheap because of basically everything bad that happens in Lost Haven happens in Sherman Square.  While the renovations are not complete, it should work as a temporary base for now.  We’re see you all there.”[/color]
