[A lot of things that have happened have made it seem like nothing is going in their favor, but now they have a lead on finding a weapon to defeat Chronoblivion, know how to find the missing Legionnaires and...well. Sometimes the Time Trapper actually does something useful.]

[Sometimes.]

Listen up, Legion. I need you all to get ready to dispatch tomorrow morning at 0500. Once Brainy's finished his preparations for retrieving the lost Legionnaires and the Miracle Machine, we need to move.

Also, while nothing's been confirmed, I have a feeling we're going to be seeing some activity from Chronoblivion's forces soon, because the Time Trapper sent us a little backup and it was probably for good reason.

[She can't help but smile at least a little.]

Which is to say that even though the rift on Phelolu sealed up, there are a few people that just suddenly appeared on the bridge that want to say hello.

[ooc: This is where returning characters can announce their return, get updated on what they've missed, reconnect with old friends, and maybe make some new ones before shit hits the fan.]

[This isn't the first time there's been a video post on Legion's network made by a rabbit, but it is the first time the rabbit making it is six feet tall, with an accent thick enough to cut with a knoife.]

G'day, mates. I'm the Easter Bunny.

[This would be the place to insert a punchline, if this were a joke. Bunny does not insert one. Actually, by his smug smile, he seems pretty proud of the title.]

I'm gonna need to get down to Earth sooner rather than later. Gettin' dragged out here did away with most've my powers, and I need to get down to a real bush to figure out what I've still got. Who's headed planetside when?

[The video snaps on. It’s Ferro, and even through his iron mask it’s easy to tell that the boy is disturbed.]

So, uh. After, you know. Blue Rose dropped in. And vanished. After that, I felt like I needed to visit the Hall Of Fallen Heroes and, you know. Pay my respects to her and our other friends.

[He clears his throat and glances around.]

Um. All of the statues are gone. It’s supposed to be impossible, only Legionnaires have access to the memorial hall, but, well. Take a look.

[He sweeps his camera across the room. It’s a peaceful area, meant for solemn remembrance It’s also completely empty. The pedestals that the massive golden statues stood on are still there, but none of the statues, not Monstress, not Element, not Blue Rose, are present. He refocuses on himself.]

Judge Beeny, Mr. Allen, could you come down and sweep the area with your, uh. Forensics stuff? I’m not trained for that, you might find something I missed.

[They won’t, but it would be good to do a sweep anyway.]

I did find these, though. They were on a saucer in the middle of the room.

[He holds up four cards with question marks on the back. One of them just has pictures. Another says ’ Even if I said that it was the Opal of Earth, you wouldn't understand the gravity of it.’ The third says ’ Even though I fell on Judgement Day, I came back. It took much longer than three days, in my case.’ And the final card says ’ Some revered me like a god. To others, I was a waste hauler. To all, I mean something.’]

I’m no good with riddles. I always just turned the magazines upside down to get the answers. Can any of you make sense out of this?

Hey there. For those of you who don't know me already, I'm Dr. Ray Stantz, and I'm a paranormal investigator.

So, I've noticed lately that we've gotten a few skeptics in board lately, and it made me wonder about something. How many of us have encountered the supernatural before the Legion? You know, psychics, ghosts, demons, magic, goblins, gremlins, Nessie, vampires, that sort of thing? If you have any stories about the paranormal, I'd love to hear them. If you'd rather not go into details, that's fine too. Just a little curious, is all.

[ The image on the screen is not of any member of the Legion. Instead, it is of what looks like a smallish rummage sale of things meant to fit into pockets. ]

If anyone's misplaced anything during the weird slide-y timeline situation, there's a bunch of stuff here on the Observation Deck now.

[ What crazy random happenstance, the professional thief has found missing items! You might want to come claim anything that's yours before it gets really rummage sale.

Or maybe not, if the item you've misplaced is embarrassing. And there are a surprising number of embarrassing things in the hoard on display. ]

[ Grif is in one of Legion World's lounges. There's a space future pool table behind him, set up for a game. ]

Hey Legion, how's it going?

[ Wait. No. He holds up a hand. ]

Rhetorical question, don't answer that, it's not what I'm here for. What I'm here to talk to you about today is superpowers.

[ He's found his stride, and taken an almost public-service-announcement tone. ]

Do you have strange new abilities since coming to space? Were you just extra cool before the rest of us and nothing changed? Cause I definitely want to know what you guys got in the Time Trapper lottery and please make it look as awesome as possible.

[ He grins a little. Superpowers are the best. ]

For those of you who are new, which is most of who I'm talking to here? I'm Grif. Doubletime if you want to go all codename on me but... Grif. Really. Sometimes I look like this:

[ He scoops a space-age looking helmet painted bright orange off the floor, presumably, then drops it again with a thunk. It's armor, he's not gonna break it, right? ]

And me? I got this.

[ Grif disappears in an orange blur and suddenly, the pool table clears itself in a flurry of indistinct motion. He comes back down from super speed and casually leans the cue against it. ~~If anyone bothers to slow that down, it was an absolutely disgraceful display and he cheated at least six times.~~ Grif is super smug. ]

So yeah. I kind of got the best power already? Sorry.

[ Oh right, there was something else he wanted. ]

And everybody else? Uh. Anything new that's cool? ...Or just tell me how the last mission went for you. I got to go into the past and wrestle Batman and stuff. He's kind of a dick, honestly.

((( This is a free for all mingle post! Grif will reply to everyone who responds, but this also an invitation to threadjack. If you want to have a character jump into a thread somewhere with anyone else you are absolutely welcome and, in fact, encouraged. This is set after Gods Among Us / To Have And To Hold / The Other Mother and before Time Ripples, so it is slightly backdated to give characters a chance to meet the regular versions of each other before the nonsense begins.

Quick Check in for Members of Project Freelancer, the UNSC, and our mutual associates- or anyone that wants to get word out about themselves having changed or not changed or...whatever. Has questions? This is Agent York and Delta, so far we're unaffected by this time ripple thing. Connie, North, Wash, Grif, Chief, Theta, Cortana, Locus, Azucar, Parker, Pidge, Fareeha, Amélie - and anyone else I'm forgetting, shoot me a text back, alright?

I'll deliver pancakes and blankets or other care package items if needed. If you'd rather come talk in person swing by my habitat, I'll be hanging in the bar. Directions are below. Also, Jason- buddy? Swing by, I feel like I owe you a beer.

[ In neat green lines there's a little holographic map showing how to get to York's dive bar from the recipient's current location, wherever they might be. ]

Specific refreshments are available upon request.

[Wash looks a bit better than he did a week ago; turns out a successful mission and a plan for the future really do help.]

We've all seen the Legionnaire Legacies, and I'm pretty sure we're all tired of them. Well, Mirage is a genius, and she had an idea: we'll make fake ones. Use our Anywhere Machine to pull real footage, create fake footage to supplement it, write our own narratives, and broadcast them. It'll discredit the press, and it might keep them off our backs, because there's no reason to broadcast someone's past if it's already been done by someone else.

So. Who's in?

Patterns are emerging in the intelligence Kid Quantum handed out. It's time we narrowed down our search so we can plan our next mission accordingly.

[ooc: Though only people who signed up for clues can hand them out, anyone on the team can participate in the discussion to figure them out.]

[The Legion World staff maintains a feed of all Legion-related media so Legionnaires can be kept abreast of any reporting that's done on them. Two women appear on the screen, sitting at a desk, their appearances altered by glam filters so that one is all pink hair and skin and sparkles, and the other is all in blues. They look pretty flashy and tacky but this is the future. Reporters don't exist anymore; they're "personalities" now.]

Shellee: I'm Shellee Star! [That would be the pink one.]

Tammee: And I'm Tammee Tim! [That would be the blue one.]

Shellee: And this is another investigative episode of of Legion Watch: Legionnaire Legacies! Today, our featured Legionnaire brings up a rather controversial question: should a so-called 'hero' be weighed by the sum of their deeds, both good and evil?

Tammee: Or can a person some would consider downright villainous change their ways, fight against the dark urges in their heart, and find redemption among the ranks of the Legion?

Shellee: Villain? Oh my. That seems a little harsh, doesn't it?

Tammee: The truth is harsh, Shellee. And we here are dedicated to uncovering the truth. As I've always said, the public has a right to know.

Shellee: Too true, Tammee. Well, viewers! If you want sinful secrets brought to light and checkered pasts laid bare, look no further. This is no tale of knights in shining armor. This is the Legion's very own armored bad boy, Locus!

[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!

[Rich hasn't been very vocal lately. After Murderworld, especially after running into those bugs, he retreated into himself a little bit. It wasn't full moping, just thoughtfulness, and he needed some quiet time.]

[But he's got to speak up on this. He's got a perspective most don't and maybe that can help.]

Kid Q already got the lecture out of the way, so I'm not gonna do that. That isn't what this is.

In that last mission, some of us had disagreements about lethal force, and we had to sideline them because of the urgency of the situation, but it's something we still need to talk about, because those disagreements aren't going to go away.

Now, I occupy a unique position on this. I've been a meta-powered cop, a superhero, and a soldier. I've been to war. I've led an army in a war against omnicidal space bugs, and you can be damn sure I didn't have my soldiers hold back.

I didn't hold back either. I've killed more than my fair share of sentients, and when it came down to facing the intergalactic despot that ordered his army to slaughter billions, I pulled his guts out through his throat. And you know what, if given the chance to do it again, I'd do it ten thousand times over.

My point here is I get it. I've seen that side of things well enough to understand sometimes that's what it takes. The problem here is this is not warfare that we're facing. Right now, we're law enforcement. We have a mandate from this universe's government to follow their laws, and a responsibility to the public to follow their morals -- and they value life here -- and having also allied myself with some ugly customers for the sake of the common good, I know that even terrible people can sometimes find purpose and redeem themselves, so this universe valuing life enough to give at least some criminals a chance to reform ain't exactly entirely misplaced.

But whether any of us agree with that principle or not, the public trusts us to follow a certain standard and we ultimately serve them. When it comes to police work, there's levels of force. With a team of over thirty metapowered individuals, we're a small army. I don't know if any of you noticed, but even with non-lethal force we cleaned their clocks the other day, with no casualties, most of the villains detained, no civilians harmed, and minimal serious injuries.

Having that kind of power and the kind of numbers we have changes the entire ballgame, because it changes the nature of the conflicts we face. It means that villains can go to greater extremes -- extremes that in other situations would require fatal force to stop -- and we're powerful enough that we can handle those extremes. When you're a superhero, controlling battlefield conditions and preventing casualties is a lot easier than it would be without the metapowers.

I guess what I'm trying to do here is bridge the gap and try to help people understand why all this is the way it is.

So, that last mission was something, wasn't it? Yeah. For those who don't know me, hi. I'm Jason. Nice to meet you.

Anyway. I know everyone's busy with, well. That last mission and stuff. [He's good enough not to say "WE ARE PLOTTING THE OVERTHROW OF THE UP" at least.] But I've got our next camping trip lined up. I think you'll find it cool.

It's underground again, sorry about that. But hear me out. Soola Noona. It was this mine, right? They were harvesting crystals for pies... piezo-whatever. Harvesting crystals to power machines. Put them under pressure and they generate electricity or something like that. [Barry would probably correct him.] Anyway, turns out that these crystals have some unique harmonics or something, they vibrate at soothing frequencies, so about three hundred years ago they shut down the mines, stimulated the crystal growth, and turned the entire mining rig into a vacation retreat.

They've got singing crystals to promote a calm environment, therapeutic hot springs, some untouched cave systems if you want to go spelunking, modern amenities, the works. I think we'll be able to chill out a little there. We can get to know the new people, the new people can learn some about us, and we can do some of the same team building stuff we did the last few times.

And Hiccup, before you ask, the place was designed so that cargo ships could dock to load up, so there's room for Toothless to stretch his wings.

[Remember that button that popped up before the second part of Kid Quantum's debrief became available? It's back now. Time to scan your fingerprint or input your ridiculous password or scan your eyeball again, at least if you want to see what this is about.]

[On the other side of the security measures, Parker is not in the ventilation system. Instead, she appears to be sitting on a table in one of the many conference rooms on Legion World.]

Since Kid Quantum has made the announcement already: Hi, I'm Payback and I'll be leading the Legion's Espionage Squad. Talk to me if you're interested in joining. I'm not about to draft anyone who doesn't want to be here.

[ Rob's broadcasting from Mount Wundagore, his portion of the habitat deck. He's unable to keep the doofy, dimples wide smile off his face. He's talking fast in his excitement. ]

Hola, Legionnaires! Before you continue watching this, look around and make sure Vance Astrovik, also known as Justice, Marvel Boy, and Supertights, is nowhere near you. I've spent a lot of time figuring out how to block him and don't want the surprise ruined. I'll wait.

[ Robbie pulls out loop of string that he specifically prepared for this occasion and plays cat's cradle for thirty seconds. ]

He gone? Good. If he was actually there and wants to know why he heard his name, tell him to buzz off or you'll tell everyone the punch bowl story.

Here's the deal. Vance made his section of the habitat the Crashpad. That's our old team's HQ. I'm losing you already - stay with me. We used to try and decorate for the winter hols there, hang out. All my best holidays were there, and I think he'd say the same. It was ... warm.

[ Robbie laughs and shakes his head. ]

Even when we didn't have heat.

So there's a huge holiday coming up in like a week. It's called Valor's Day.

[ Robbie puts on a weird looking Santa hat. What should be red is black with a star pattern, the white fur is now red and trimmed with a gold stripe. ]

I'm not saying it's the new Christmas, but I think it's safe to say there's some inspiration.

I know I keep talking about home, but right now, this is my home. And the Legion's my team, so you're all invited. It'll be at 15:00, on Valor's Day, and I'm sending you all the location of the Crashpad in the Habitat Deck.

[ He fiddles with the omnicom to attach a map to the transmission. ]

I don't have any reals plans - I'm going shopping for decorations tomorrow, but I've got no idea where to find Chanukah and Christmas chic. So I'm giving you all a second invitation - whatever life-affirming holiday you celebrate, even if I didn't mention it, bring something. Maybe it's special food, maybe it's a carol, maybe it's a piñata. I don't care, just bring something that makes it feel like your party too.

Volunteers to help with the setup and breakdown are hugely appreciated and will be thanked with a bribe I haven't made up yet, but I remind you that holiday tradition loves helping your fellow m- beings. Jack, if you're wondering, this is what I wanted the winter wonderland for. I just have to clear it with... someone in charge before we mess with the climate.

Oh, and Vance? If you're watching this over someone's shoulder, you suck.

So um... I've been thinking about this for a while. Ever since we left Harrub, actually...

[ He grimaced a bit, pausing for a couple of seconds. Glancing off to the side, before taking a breath, and addressing the camera again. ]

But um, after the whole Murderworld thing... it's kind of become clear that some of us aren't... handling things that well... [ He was thinking about Videl specifically, but the anon meme has also made it clear Videl wasn't the only one. ] I know we all took the oath for various reasons, and we probably all expected different things out of becoming a superhero. But um, some of us probably didn't expect this... so...

... With the whole "Legionnaire Legacies" thing coming around the corner, I think we should... [ Another pause, as he tries to figure out how to phrase this. ] ... um... I guess, share our lives with each other? To make sure we're prepared, in case... in case the news digs up stuff about us, and tries to drag us through the mud with it.

[ This is so weird and strange and against everything Gohan knows. He's usually the most secretive person in the world, but... he's kind of had to cope with having an open identity, so might as well go all in. ]

I guess um, I should go first? My name's Gohan, and... if you have any personal questions for me, I'll be happy to answer them...

[The Legion World staff maintains a feed of all Legion-related media so Legionnaires can be kept abreast of any reporting that's done on them. A segment has aired on Neutrino News about the Legionnaires and their overthrow of Murderworld. Two women appear on the screen, sitting at a desk, their appearances altered by glam filters so that one is all pink hair and skin and sparkles, and the other is all in blues. They look pretty flashy and tacky but this is the future. Reporters don't exist anymore; they're "personalities" now. More serious news outlets have already reported on the atrocities on Harrub; this is one of the fluffier retrospective programs that have aired.]

Shellee: I'm Shellee Star! [That would be the pink one.]

Tammee: And I'm Tammee Tim! [That would be the blue one.]

Together: And this is Legion Watch! [They say it in unison in the perkiest voices possible and a stylized graphic of the words "Legion Watch" appear at the bottom of the screen. Occasional clickable sidelinks pop up as the news show goes on.]

[Kid Quantum is grim-faced as she buzzes everyone on the comms. It's been a stressful three days of searching for their missing team members, and they've made no progress so far.]

Listen up, Legion. As most of you know, our people on the intelligence-gathering mission to Harrub went missing three days ago. So far there's been no contact, no new leads - and no plan of action yet, but we're going to fix that.

First, we have to decide what to do about the political situation with Harrub. Right now, Madame president is poised to get them to sign but any interference on our part might ruin that.

Then again, if they're responsible for our people going missing, that might be a good thing. But if not, it could be a disaster.

Our options are 1) let them sign it and openly investigate the planet after the fact, 2) openly investigate now and drop Brainy's lab on the delicate political situation, or 3) something else one of you comes up with. Shout out your ideas, I'm all ears.

Madame President, Winema Wazzo, has access to this conversation, and can provide some info for us on the political situation if needed.

[ Grif is in high spirits today. He seems to actually be in one of the training rooms for once, which makes that a lot weirder. ]

Hey guys. There are a bunch of weirdos running around and it's been a while since we talked about powers. So guess what we're going to do today?

[ 'We' because he expects participation, dammit! ]

And because I'm feeling generous, I'll start. Guess who learned a new thing?

[ He points at himself with both thumbs and backs up, revealing a line of targets. He steps back, lines up his shoulder with them, and winds up his arm like a softball pitcher. He doesn't stop. Grif's arm blurs as he speeds up, and finally the force of the moving air is enough to tip over the nearest target. But only the nearest one. He stops, gestures at it with definite pride, and continues. ]

So let's talk about your powers because we already know mine are pretty awesome.

[ Of course they are, Grif. ]

Has anybody else figured out anything cool? And if you're new: I'm Grif and this is basically my job around here. Tell me what you got, because I'm still way disappointed about the lack of eye lasers we got going on on this team. I could read profiles, but who has time for that crap?

If I know you already... I don't know. Injury status report? What did you have for lunch? I'm just bored, okay?
