Icon watched in disbelief as Iron Knight continues ripping into War-Pulse even after the mercenary had agreed to help their cause, even if it was for selfish reasons. Personally, Icon didn’t care why War-Pulse had chosen to join them, he was just glad that they had one more weapon in this fight against Pax Metahumana, and with War-Pulse joining the fight, he knew that it only helped their chances of stopping this disaster. 

He was equally impressed with Iron Knight’s ability to go from berating a potential ally to giving orders in almost the same breath. Icon watched as Iron Knight used a device to project an image of the woman that he knew as Arachne, albeit, a little more human looking. Iron Knight’s plan was for Icon to go to Ohio to recruit her for this fight, and his reasoning was sound. He had fought side by side with the girl against Ares and Polemos, so it was a good bet that she would be willing to hear him out. However, he didn’t agree with the second part of Arthur’s plan. While Icon could get to Ohio and back in minutes, he felt that it was an unnecessary waste of time to have Lyger, Radiance, and the others join him there from Albany. He felt that it would be more prudent to have the four of them back in Lost Haven, where they might be able to use the information that they might get from Zac and Kelly, he believed their names were, to possibly find the device and put a stop to this whole affair. 

He was about to speak up and tell Iron Knight what he thought of the plan, when to his surprise, War-Pulse interjected instead. 

“Hey! I know that girl! I saw her during D-Day. She and I fought some kind of snake-demon in the sewers together, has one hell of a roundhouse kick from what I remember. If you want to send someone to go after her, send me. Icon’s your big gun, your poster boy, you’re going to need him in the city a lot more than you’ll need me for both publicity and for tactics. Lost Haven would lose their shit if the boy scout was seen bailing town.” War-Pulse had told them. Though Icon could almost see the look of bewilderment and apprehension at the mere suggestion that he go in Icon’s place to recruit Arachne, Icon couldn’t argue with the logic. When War-Pulse added the fact that he had an information broker who might not only be able to pinpoint Arachne’s location faster than Icon could find her, but then broadcast any information that he could ascertain the moment he had it, Icon knew that this was the right play, though, even if he didn’t agree he might not have had any choice, as War-Pulse had indicated that this might just be a condition of his joining them.

[b]“He’s right.”[/b] Icon said. [b]“People are on edge as it is, if I were seen leaving the city now, it might send the wrong message. Besides, I think that I might be more useful here, trying to track down the device. I think that in light of the change in plans, it might also be better to have Lyger and the others come straight back to Lost Haven as well.” [/b] Icon then turned to War-Pulse, and nodded in his direction.

[b]”It’s up to you. Go get Arachne and bring her here. I’ll see what I can do about this device.”[/b] Icon said as he took to the skies and headed back into Lost Haven proper, not giving Iron Knight a chance to protest.
