Mission Report

Fine, dry, clear skies, full moon
Bates Motel, Los Angeles, Ca.

Big improvement on yesterday.

The kids are coming with me, at least for now. I've left them at the cabin in the woods, came back to LA with Fred, need to get his legal situation sorted out. Hope he doesn't scram when he's cleared his name, hope he realises that we're good for him. Hope we are good for him.

Took the RV to Luey's as planned. Got a lucky break. Three convicts showed up, so Luey & I left the kids to deal with it. At least they have a grasp on the "with great power comes..." thing -- if they'd just hidden I think I would have given up then. They done good.

Saw a few powers in operation, deduced a few others. Here's the latest:

James: Pretty conclusive, the armour's bulletproof, but that's not enough evidence to convince me. Kid has an attitude problem -- I think he's trying too hard to live up to his history. Most likely to get himself killed.

Chi Yun: Confirmation on the shape change.

Jerome: Figured his power. Multiple personality or something. Half the time he's Doc Smithsteen, the other half he's Jerome. Not the most awesome power I've ever seen, I guess we're starting off small this time. Good thing.

Fred: If we've got a psionic it's him. I saw some freaky effects, and he's the only one not doing anything? Yeah, right.

Caught the crooks. One minor wound. Them, not us. Luey can handle any awkward questions, so we got away without causing a major stir. (Now there's a good name for...) I wish James would leave the costume off, its making me nervous. I don't think the world is ready for an 80s' fashion revival.

Now I'm back in LA. Trying to see Alan Grady -- he's the investigating officer on the slasher case (lucky break again, he owes me). Hopefully will see him tonight.

PS -- Luey fine, business not brisk but he doesn't care. The skycycle's in pieces again. He's still trying to get a plasma cannon into it, he's trying some new superconductor from Russia -- wouldn't tell me how he got it. I told him, forget the plasma cannon, just get a quieter engine in it. Does he listen? Ha. Once a biker always a biker.

Hope the kids are OK. Left Jerome in charge. What can go wrong in one night?
