Joseiah smiled as he lazily floated along the surface of the swimming pool having done himself several good laps beforehand. It was good exercise and beat bumming around his apartment with the AC on, not that it was the most common of things now but it sorted out his cramps nicely with equal parts stretching every morning. He had figured out a very important fact about living in the Tower and that was to find something to keep yourself busy in between missions otherwise it could get very monotonous and boring right after. No one else was here today but it didn't bother him much because as much as he enjoyed being around other people even he needed some alone time every now and again. Never for too long though otherwise he'd end up losing track of time drawing/doing one of his various projects or once in a long while just staring at his pendant as he day dreamed about his family. He'd have to see if he could get an update on his sister again soon, it was a bit of a small luxury but one he found important even if being there wasn't an option.

The cryokinetic was right about ready to haul himself out of the pool when the alarm went off spooking him more than a little. Not to mention he was pretty damn sure they tuned his up to be louder than some of the others and while they were kinda in the right to do so it still caught him off guard sometimes hence ending up underwater for a moment. The man sighed musing about the usefulness of his dampeners, there'd likely have been mini ice float without them, as he swam quickly over to the edge closest to the door getting up and out so he could do a rough job of drying up before zipping back to his room to get suit at least partially on. By his mark he could make it in a decent space of time limp or no but he only really had time to get the lower half of his armor on while he was there, sure as hell wasn't the first time he'd had to get the coat and vest on in a hurry while walking so it'd get done on the way easy. The helmet wouldn't go on until after the briefing since it was way too stuffy until the dampeners were on which was something he mildly regretted as a choice when it wasn't keep his head attached. Either way he made decent time coming in a little later than usual but not unheard of for the man while still being within his ten minutes.

Joseiah gave a couple hi's and good morning's to the other heroes along with a beaming smile which he couldn't help, after all going out to give some idiot the good news was a great pass time. He listened along to the gabbing more or less having to suppress his chuckling at the description of the Zookeeper and robot animals while also noting the danger all the same. [i]Seriously though? I thought my sense of naming was bad but this guy pulled ahead of me.[/i] He thought now actually chuckling a bit to himself. Despite being ready and raring to go the suited man stopped him short saying he was on reserves this time around which while being a bummer was fine with him. Made him wonder if they wanted to get a bit of media in on Jane since it was her first showing or maybe city just didn't want a bunch of ice and snow lying around in piles after this time with threats that big. Either way he'd end up listening in while he waited to see if he needed to be deployed, if not so be it since he'd be the first to greet them back in because he wasn't missing lunch with the gang.

That in mind he turned to the suited man with a bit of a dumb smile. "Getting a bit of the cold shoulder this time eh? Suppose its only fair turnabout." The ice man said taking the situation in stride going out to wait nearby the reserve transport.
