	[color=f26522]"WHAT?!"[/color] Boom practically screamed. [color=f26522]"You want to talk about terrorists? There's one right in front of you. I knew you were a shitty hero but you can't possibly be this comfortable working with a man who tried to kill us all."[/color]

	[color=C0C0C0]“Can we [b]please[/b] deal with one crisis at a time.  And I’m a shitty hero?  I want to see you try being perfect while having a spy organization breathing down your neck.”[/color]

	Chris would have continued, had Boom not turned her attention towards her brother and then momentarily towards War-Pulse.  Then, she dashed away, leaving everyone else behind.  Thunderbolt tried to reassure everyone that she would be back, but when he said ‘I think’, doubt did creep into Chris’ mind.

	[color=C0C0C0]“And I thought this day could not get any worse.”[/color]  Chris muttered under his breath.  Things were so much simpler when the public existence of metahumans was not well known.  Now, Chris was just a regular man, albeit rich, in a sea of superhumans.  If it were not for his power suit, Chris would not know how he would exist in this world.

	[color=C0C0C0]“Well then, now [b]that’s[/b] over with, let’s continue.”[/color]  Chris tried to steer everyone back on topic.  Chris then pulled out his cell phone again and momentarily started to tap his finger against the touch screen.  Then, suddenly the device that War-Pulse had brought with him, which was originally Chris’, switched the image it was projecting to a 3D model of the villain’s base, or at least what was left of it, since S.T.R.I.K.E. had leveled the floors that were above the basement. 

	[color=C0C0C0]“Okay, we’ll split into two teams.  The first team will enter here,”[/color]  Chris gestured towards one of the openings into the lower section of the base, [color=C0C0C0]“Hopefully this will draw out their metahuman team.  While they’re distracted, a second team will enter through a second entrance and take Doctor Diplodoc by surprise.”[/color]

	Chris paused after saying the leader’s name, not believing that he said that name out loud.  He turned towards the three Albany metahumans.  [color=C0C0C0]“Is that really his name?”[/color]

	[color=peru]“Don’t look at us.  We didn’t pick it.”[/color]  Zac responded to Chris’ question.

	Before Chris could continue with the debriefing, the elevator door opened yet again.  For a moment, Chris thought it might be Boom returning from her temper tantrum, but the person who exited the elevator carriage was not Thunderbolt’s sister.  Instead, it was some girl wearing a hoodie and carrying some sort of sword.

	“[color=00aeef]I came with Boom. The Slag in blue lighting stripes can vouch for me[/color].”   The girl nervously declared, probably because no one except for Thunderbolt and Boom seen this girl before.

	Before Chris said anything about the presence of this newcomer to the crowd of heroes around him, he sent a short text to his assistant, Minerva, that they need to improve their security because random people are just waltzing in.  He then addressed the matter at hand.

	[color=C0C0C0]“Really, Thunderbolt.  This is what your sister does?  Send us a twelve-year old girl?  How could this day get any worse?”[/color]
