Today was a boring day. Siren didn’t enjoy that.

Siren wasn’t the type to chase after pointless fights, or get impatient just because she was bored. No, in her experience, a slow day meant there was something going on in the absence of an eventful day that villains wanted to keep under wraps or it meant that the villains simply took a day off. In 24 years of being a cape, Siren rarely witnessed the latter. She was not surprised, therefore, when a member of the Think Tank had tipped them off about something that would be happening at the mayor’s office [i]and[/i] the Museum of Parahuman History. They would be divided between looking after the mayor and watching the PRT’s latest hero initiative, the Wards, to keep them in check and in one piece.

Siren was standing by Risen and Blaster during the Director’s briefing on the entire thing. She was dressed in her usual “costume” she had always wore; the coat, the eyepatch, the whole getup, and she had also been in her breaker form the entire day, which meant there was always a Siren-shaped body of water wearing her face and speaking with her voice walking around. The cold weather did little to bother her after so many years of fighting villains in the dead of winter.

The Director’s annoyance with the way the Think Tank dropped the information on them was not lost on her. Thinkers were complicated, all capes were, but gathering information in ways no one else can through superpowers that affected your brain was hard enough. Siren found being patient with thinkers helped everyone in the long run, and let them spare their time for the real problems. The board decided that the attack on the Museum would be less important, and therefore, they should throw the children at whoever is attacking. The fact that Remembrance couldn’t tell them any more meant they couldn’t assume that.

Whenever the Director cut the feed, and Risen started planning, that was when Siren spoke up. Her voice commanded respect. There was steel in how she addressed the people around her. The tone she spoke with, and her general demeanor as a whole showed that she did not play games.

[color=2687F4]”Remembrance says she can’t remember anything more than that an attack will happen at both places. Either the Museum attack is a diversion, or entirely unrelated. Whichever is the case, we can’t afford to play favorites. The Mayor’s office will have better security than the Museum, which means the Mayor’s office is less vulnerable. It is a smaller space, and easier to guard. The mayor has guards around him to keep him safe, so if we send capes there, it will be easier to work with them given their experience. The Wards don’t have that experience.”[/color]

An attack in a public space was not less important than an attack on the mayor. [color=2687F4]”I will be joining the Wards. I’ll see to it that they keep their heads on straight have support when this inevitably backfires. If the incident is resolved before the attack on the mayor’s office, I’ll regroup with the rest of you, with or without the Wards.”[/color]
