thelegion | Let's go steal...some sense of what's going on [Video/Intro]

[The screen flickers, and on it appears a face. One that is extremely confused.]

So, I got a ton of questions. And I kinda think I don't like the answer, because I'm like really sure that this is like, a fever dream or I'm poisoned. Because before I came into the Buck Rogers looking place, I was walking out of a business meeting.

[The camera shifts a bit, and the man dramatically waves his arms to emphasize the surroundings]

And then suddenly there's flying cars and crazy stuff like that, and everyone's speaking a language I sure as hell don't know. And then these weird little dudes find me and stick a thing in my hear, so that I now do understand everything, and I get the spiel on this group called the Legion of Superheroes that I join because I like what I'm hearing

So, yeah. My name is Alec Hardison. But call me Hardison. Or...I dunno, I came up with a code name. Would I use that instead? Like, what's the etiquette to superheroes when the heroes are also cops too?

So yeah. Hardison. Or Datastream. Whatever.

Also, anyone whose good with the really damn insane tech I will be your padawan because holy crap the tech!

Parker? Parker? Babe, you're here to?

[Hardison visibly gets up from where he was, as if he was planning to go and march right up to her, but after a moment, he relaxes and sits back down.]

I'm at one of the comm centers. Nice general soundproofing, mostly open. I think it's center...eight in the main Legion building? I wandered a bit after the orientation. Which was a lot to take in, even for yours truly.

[Then the smile that comes across his face almost matches her in size]

When you get here from whatever vent you're in, I gotta show you what I can do. And you gotta show me what powers you got, if you got any!

I have been here for over six. Months.

You missed vegan spacefuture Christmas.

[Parker is wiggling her way out of the smaller, more cramped vent into one where she can make use of her flight ring.]

I'll be there soon. The vents go everywhere.

[Pchooooooo, go flight ring go!]

I got touch-based power negation! It doesn't really show. What did you get?

Six months? Wait, like, what was the last thing you remember happening? Last thing I remember before I popped up here was that couple. You gave the whole Nate-spiel about Leverage. I went to head outside, and then poof! Here. In the weird...wait, vegan spacefuture Christmas?

[Hardisons head tilts a bit]

Man. Whole artificial moons, weird space vegan stuff, a vegan spacefuture Christmas. Damn. I got a lot to start working on, and it ain't just the tech. But of course, even in the freaky space future, you'd be the one to find the damn vents to crawl through.

Oh, right! Powers! It's spooky. I kinda...discorporate, then jump into computer systems. I run around as electrical impulses, and can jump out and be solid again.

That's when-slash-where I was too. The first one, right?

[She foresees herself giving that speech a lot. It's a good speech, that's why she'd stolen it.]

Vegan spacefuture Christmas. They still have Christmas, but most people celebrate Valor's Day instead.

[She can't help but smirk a little.]

Finding the vents isn't hard. I met a boy in here my first day, when we both tried to escape.

[Because of course Parker's response to waking up in a hospital bed is to assume that it's a trick and try to escape.]

That sounds cool. The hacking is coming from inside the computer!

Oh wow. That's screwed up. But...wait, does that mean Eliots here too, or is it just the two of us? Or maybe Sophie or Nate?

[There's a moments silence]

Babe, please tell me Sterling isn't here.

Just the two of us, as far as I know. I haven't been using anyone's names, but if you introduce yourself as "Parker's hacker" people will know who you are.

[Six months is a long time not to talk about the most important people in her life, after all.]

Oooh, I like the sound of that. "Parkers Hacker". Good to know my reputation precedes me.

[Have the Big Goofy Grin. You know he's just teasing]

Any idea what's going on at home? Six months is a damn long time to be here.

I did very specifically say 'dibs'.

[She might be kidding. But then it is Parker.]

Nothing. Everyone who's gone home and come back has reported that they returned to the exact moment they left. So you won't miss any of your raids, and you-know-who won't assume we've been abducted and punch his way through every enemy we've ever made trying to find us.

Wow. That...I guess that's both reassuring and kinda sad. If we ever get sent back, we'll have this crazy ass shared thing, but...no Nate, no Sophie, no Eliot. That's just...ugh.

And you know he would, Babe. Eliots good to us like that.

Assuming one of us doesn't get yoinked back before the other one does. Which has happened. The guy I escaped into the vents with when I got here isn't around anymore, and it's not because he retired or died or got kidnapped for human experimentation.

Which doesn't happen on Legion World, no matter what the people on the space internet say.
