"Don't worry, i'm here to help."

With all of the commotion of new people being admitted to F.E.A.S.T. in the hours following the attack, nobody quite noticed Bailey and Christina sneaking into one of the community classrooms to use one of the computers that people used mostly to print of their resume's or go job hunting on. "Wow, you are blowing up online." She said, looking through a number of articles and youtube video's shot on phones. One of the photo's that kept being used on news sites was him stood "Heroically" in the window, holding the old man he had rescued from that burning building. His face calm and contemplative. In actuality, that face was him transitioning from "I need to get this man to safety" and into "Please for the love of crikey, don't let me end up in Yonkers when i jump." His orange locks blowing in the wind.

"Like... They want to see me explode?" He asked. She looked at him, staring at the computer.

"Wow, you're definitely not one of those iPad kids, are you?" She asked.

"We never really had the money for that stuff. Only time i used that sort of stuff was in school." He replied. "And the F.E.A.S.T. i knew didn't have computers we could use. Plus Mom wanted me to read books." Christina smiled, at least he wasn't another kid constantly pestering her to get Cocomelon on here.

"What i mean is that people are seriously talking about you."
SCARLET SAVIOR SECURES CENTENIAL!

Old man rescued from burning building by new mysterious hero who flew him straight to Hospital before jumping straight back into the fray!

MYSTERY MARVEL MANHANDLES MAGMA MONSTER!

Spotted just outside of Food, Emergency Aid, Shelter & Training (Known locally as F.E.A.S.T.) a giant monster was stopped from destroying the shelter by a new hero, punching it all the way to Central Park.

NEW JUSTICE SOCIETY!

Not since the Justice Society has a gathering of heroes like this been seen. Possible revival on the Horizon?

AMERICA TO BECOME ALIEN ASYLUM!

Aliens descend upon New York. Lulling the Sheeple into a false sense of security before the true invasion begins. Ginger guys, Musclebound Hippies and Little Green Men shown discussing something over an unconscious child, possibly fighting for dominance on who would implant their eggs first! A flaming man and skeleton were also at the scene, implying possible Alien/Satanic Alliance.

"Wow, FOX is more rational than usual." Christina replied, reading the insane ramblings. "But this is big news. They're talking about you. Now, you need the most important thing a Hero can have."

"A strong sense of right and wrong?" Bailey asked. Christina looked down at the kid.

"Oh my god, you are the most adorable thing ever put on this earth." She replied, tustling his hair. "No, my naive little superhero. What you need is a name." She smiled. "Can't go about calling you Spider-Boy, you're likely to get sued." Bailey began looking through the computer.

"What about..." He asked. He typed out on the Keyboard Shazam.

"Shazam? Sounds like a toilet cleaner." Christina replied. "And why not say it?"

"Because when i say that word, i get hit by a bolt of lightning and then turn into the other guy and i'd really like not to start another fire."

"Good point, but that creates the problem that, when someone asks you your name, you'll turn back into a kid in front of everyone. Yeah, i think making the magic word the same as your name is just askin' for trouble." She stroked her brow. "Oooh, you've got that Lightning Bolt on your chest. What about Thunderbolt?" She quickly typed it into a search bar. "Damn, someone already got it. Some big name General or something. I never heard of him, but best probably not mess with the US Military." Bailey looked at the news articles again.

"Mysterious Marvel... What Mister Marvel?" He asked.

"Nope, Aliteration is for headlines only. And Mister? Who names themselves Mister. Captain or Major or General." She replied.

"Ooooh, Captain Marvel, love that name!" He looked at the computer and smiled. "Captain Marvel... She quickly typed in the name.

"There's a withdrawn trademark application of the name from someone in Boston, but probably nothing to worry about." She replied. She quickly went to one of the main Superhero Boards and quickly applied for a new profile, using the heroic image from the news article. "Right, just put up a basic post. Hey, it's me, the ginger Superhero from the news. I am making my official first press release on this website. My name is Captain Marvel and i am..." She looked at Bailey. "Come on, Bailey, work with me."

"Oh... Ummm... I am a kid from New York, from an alternate timeline where America is ruled by a-" At which point, a finger went across his lips from Christina.

"Bububububu!" She replied. "They are gonna think you are nuts. Reel it back. Let's just put... I am a guy from New York, like any one of you, i just want to make the world a better place. I'm gonna fight evil, right wrongs... And hoping every leap will be the leap home..."

"What?" He asked.

"Doctor Ben Song, do you not watch TV?" She scowled at him.

"I read books." He repeated.

"That's it, we're getting a TV for you to watch." She shook her head. "We're renting the entire Schwarzenegger Library and we're giving you an education." She replied.

"I started watching Junior with mom once..." He suddenly got the Thousand Yard stare.

"The Schwarzenegger Baby?" She asked. He nodded slowly. "Yeah, that's the respectable." She then continued to type. "I'm here to stay. So, the bad guys of the world had better look out for Captain Marvel!" She smiled, before hitting send. "And now we wait." She crossed her arms. "In the meantime, what's your sleeping plans?" She asked. Bailey looked down as he quickly realized he didn't know.

"Well, you're currently staying in me and Mom's old room." He said.

"And if we tell them that you're alone without parents, they'll put you into the Foster system and then that'll be just a whole matter of..." She replied, before looking him up and down. "Maybe if you Kazaamed yourself up-" She began.

"No. No, power like that isn't supposed to be used for stuff like that." He replied. "The old gang looked after me, helped me stay here... I dunno what to do now..." He walked over to the wall and instinctively put a foot on it, before scraping his shoe down and remembering that that didn't work anymore. "Can't even upside down think anymore..." He lost his hands in his scruffy orange hair, trying to think.

"Hey," Christian called. "Come with me." Leading him out of the classroom and upstairs to the small room he previously lived in. Opening the door, she looked at her parents. "Mom, dad. This is Bailey, he helped me out when those Fire Trolls attacked. He's missing his mom, can he stay with us for the night?" Mr and Mrs Xu looked at each other.

"If he helped you in that attack, then by all means, feel free to join us." Mrs Xu replied with a smile.

You are hereby invited to the New York Restoration Gala!



This event will take place 1 month following the events of the Fire Troll attack on New York City. 
This event is open to any and all players who can present a valid reason that their character would attend.
There will be intrigue at the Gala, as well as an enemy - however this is an Emma Frost centered villain, but I am open to any and all collaborative ideas.

This will mainly be a social event in game to meet and collaborate with other players and form bonds. 
And of course, who doesn't just love a party post?
@Stormyx

Would being one of the heroes who helped stop the Fire Troll attack be a reasonf for an invite? Like, is she gonna go out and say "Hey, all you guys who helped but want to keep your names a secret. The doorman will have pictures of your face. Feel free to drop by." Because, if not, im planning on introducing Ezekiel Simm in the next few posts, i might say that Shazam goes as his +1, being that Zeke is a retired rich debutaunt of the New York highlife.
