"Oh god, he's a boyscout." Lucid said in exasperation, tilting his head back lazily as he spoke. "I swear you do this stuff on purpose Mercy-"

"It's [i]Director[/i]-"

"-But I'd prefer not having a guy that'll get killed quickly. Because, honestly, kid's gonna be an easy target." He continued as though Mercy hadn't interrupted him. "Grayelle city will chew 'im up and spit him out." He looked critically at the other man. "Give 'im to Lightbulb, he'd have fun in Crystalden." Said hero leaned out of the line to glare at Lucid.

"My name is Irradiate!" The hero complained, before silencing and standing straight by the Director's command.

"One, you call me the Director, Ma'am, or something respectful." She spoke, and he rolled his eyes at the glare. "Two, he's the same age as you. Three, what've I told you about insulting the other Heroes?"

"One, I'm all but forced to affiliate with you, so respect is down the drain." He mocked. "Two, their all kids, all the recruits. And three, his suit is practically a fucking lightbulb, I'm simply calling it as it is." He spoke, leveling her with a toxic green glare of his own. "If you want the kid to die, I'll take him. Ten bucks says he gets injured the first job." He looked down when his phone beeped, a notification of one of his father's weapons truck being on the move. He turned around and began walking to the Transferal Tiles.

"Take him with you!" She called after him. He waved his hand over his shoulder.

"Aye Aye, Captain!" He paused. "Sorry, I mean 'Aye, Captain'!" He stepped onto the Tile and disintegrated. Mercy looked back to Koyaani with an angered sigh.

"Just go with him." She told the recruit, moving to pair up the other recruits and heroes. 

Lucid waited, crouched outside the H.UN.T entrance that's in his city. They all look the same in every city. All dilapidated buildings at the edge of the town. He's the only one that ever uses this entrance, but it looks like the kid will be using it too, now. "So glad you could join me." He said sarcastically as the guy appeared behind him. "I'm Lucid. Ever take down a weapons caravan?
