It's a cold morning in Titan, the fall air being kind and only dipping down to the low 60s. Outside the Night Industries building is a large platform with a covered tarp over some large object... or is it objects? Who knows? A podium set up with dozens of microphones from the many news stations across the Titan City area as well as nationwide news. Nicholas Night paces around at the front door to NI, looking at his pocket watch every few minutes as he awaits his guests arrival, the civilians crowded in front of the display platform as they report speculation as to what this press conference could be about. All they know is that something big, something game changing will be unveiled.

A strange man with glowing purple eyes appeared i the party wearing an expensive suit. No one knew who he was yet. No one but Shepherd. it was the Immortal Mafia hitman Sin Reaper. the son of a very powerful mob boss from Shepherd's home reality. He was one of the villains who followed Shepherd to Paragon and fought side by side with him and the other heroes along side the villains in the great catastrophy that destroyed that world. Now he followed him here.

Attracted by the number of people and by the conspicuous tarp-covered object, Alaika had decided to see what the commotion was all about. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she approached the crowd. From the looks of it, there was already a being with mystical presence already around the vicinity, but whether this being was good or bad was still up in the air. The silver-haired woman slowly weaved through the crowd to have a closer look at this seemingly interesting press conference. She was dressed quite modestly in a white top with a navy blue leather jacket and matching navy blue belt, white pants, white open-toed, strapped shoes. While she had taken caution to remain inconspicuous, her serpentine scent and psychic presence wasn't amiss from anyone with heightened or magical senses.

"Mr. Night, the crowd is starting to get impatient."
Nick looked at his watch once more. Ten minutes until the unveiling. He glanced at the sky, hoping to see at least one of the guests of honor flying towards the stage but was utterly disappointed. [i]Who do I have to kidnap to get a few heroes here?[/i], he thought to himself.
"Roll out some hot breakfast for our guests. Let's at least make this morning bearable for them while they wait."
At his command, carts of danishes, coffee cakes, doughnuts and more were rolled out for the waiting civs and a coffee machine was set up next to the stage for any that needed a caffeinated wake-up.

Tyrian walks down the street towards NI taking in the sights as he goes. As he approaches NI he can see a crowd gathering and thinks he doesn't want to make any speeches. He walks up to Mr. Night and greets him with a handshake.
"Hello again. I hope I am not late. I am really not good at speeches, so ill let you do the talking. When does this presentation start?"
The roar of a Harley Davidson announced his arrival as he road past news vans. Getting off he headed over for the best view "So anyone know what Mr. Night's latest toy is?"

Sin Reaper had noticed Rotten's arrival. Rotten never seen his face without the mask but the glowing purple eyes were unmistakable. He didn't know if Rotten would recognize him without a mask through his eyes. There were many villains that looked strange enough so who knew..
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
Suddenly, a black limousine would pull up, with cameras turning to capture it, as it's occupant graces their presence, the prestigious leader of the ERIS legal and financial aid group and Salem Socialite, Cordelia Bennet. Looking as beautiful as ever despite the crisp chill of morning, dress in a black over grey business suit, she would approach Nicholas with a smile...
"Good to see you again Nicholas...and even better to see that your aura of suspense still holds within daylight"
*Meanwhile*
Met with a similar air of coverage of her arrival, would be Lady Nova herself, as she gently lands just before Tyrian, offering him a smile as she turns to Mr Night, that same smile disappearing..
"I apologize for being late, quick hostage negotiation on the way that got a bit aggressive...hope we didn't keep you waiting too long, Impact should be arriving shortly as well..."

Shepherd had finally appeared as he noticed Sin Reaper. the Ghostwalker was wearing his costume as usual but added his sleeveless trenchcoat this time around a he entered. he turned to rotten and Lady Nova and nodded.
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
Spotting Sheperd he headed over. "Hey spook you know a fellow with purple eyes? Kind of similar to you."

Nick shakes with Tyrian, giving a warm smile to the hero.
"We start in just a few minutes. And don't be nervous. The worst they'll do is ask about your personal life."
He turns over to Cordelia and gives a knowing grin to her before taking her hand into his and leaning forward to kiss the back of it.
"Well of course, Miss Bennet. After all, what's life without surprises?"
Nova lands and is met with a smile as well, Nick simply waving off the slight hostility.
"It's quite alright, Miss Nova. Duty comes before all, no?"

Shepherd looked at Rotten then turned his head toward the Unmasked Sin Reaper to let Rotten know what he looked like under the mask
"Yes Sin Reaper also known as Markus Giovanni. Son of a powerful mob boss from my home reality. Immortal like me same ghostly abilities like me but powers over shadows and bringing your worst fears to life physically.
Shepherd looked back at Sin Reaper before turning back to Rotten.
"He is very dangerous, but he tends to be a tweener and walks the grey line between hero and villain. Does what ever it takes ti make money being an assassin.:"
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
Cordelia would smile at Mr. Night's gesture, before surveying the crowd, smirking at both Rotten and Shepherd before addressing them, a sudden mask of concern over her face...
"The name Sin Reaper does not bode well...are the citizens here in any danger?"
*Meanwhile*
Lady Nova would offer an apologetic smile towards Mr Night before replying...
"It does, and I apologize if I seem hostile...it's just something about this doesn't feel right...is this why you invited heroes among the crowd as well, to serve as both guests and discouragement to those like Anarchy Red...villains..?"

Shepherd looked at the woman as he gave her a smile.
The civies have nothing to fear. His targets usually tend to be politicians, corporate moguls like Mr Night, Heroes Cops, military, heroes and other villains
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
He slowly nods a bit to Nova
"Aye. If you remember, last time we tried this a year back a few ePunks decided to take our new jet for a joyride. Hopefully your presence will dissuade anyone with similar ideas."

Upon looking at Sin Reaper Rotten and Cordelia would notice that Sin Reaper looked exactly like Shepherd but had black hair and glowing purple eyes instead of silvery white hair and glowing blue eyes.
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
Nodding, Cordelia would politely excuse herself to the far edge of the Pavilion, beginning to lightly eat at the breakfast bar...as she walked past both Shepherd and Sin Reaper, an unearthly chill would be felt...was she...no, merely a brisk and sudden breeze, surely...
*Meanwhile*
Lady Nova would nod, remembering having to bring down the Jet, unfortunately in pieces...
"I remember, and I hope that we won't face similar problems this morning...what are you unveiling in any case....and is it potentially dangerous?"
[CENTER][URL=http://www.nodiatis.com/personality.htm][IMG]http://www.nodiatis.com/pub/10.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/CENTER]
"Everything has the potential for danger, Miss Nova. Now then, if you'll excuse me I have a job to do."
A silence falls over the gathered crowd as Nick walks up to the pedestal, removing his glasses to clean them with a small cloth in his pocket before placing them back over his eyes. He takes in a deep breath, the reporters all standing in anticipation for what the man was going to say.
“Gathered members of the press, Titan City Police, elected officials, superhero guests… welcome. Over the last month we’ve seen a steep increase in destructive crimes, ones that have left a large wake of collateral damage. Three weeks ago, a fire was started in an apartment complex that left many homeless after, the arsonist never found. Two weeks ago bore an attack by the dreaded Aether Pirates which claimed the life of an innocent bystander and would have destroyed an entire block of buildings had it not been for the heroes with me now. Days later came a retaliation by a local rogue who devastated TCPD officers after her by using the elements of nature. How much longer are we going to let this go on? How many more lives must be at stake before we, the people of Titan, stand for ourselves and tell these criminals that they are not welcome here? I don’t know the answer to that because there is none. Only you, Titan, can make one. But I do know this: Night Industries is doing what it can to help. We’ve supplied your law enforcement with the necessary equipment to tackle most threats, your hospitals with the tools needed to save those affected by these man-made disasters. But what if we could prevent Titan’s children from ever having to see their parents or brothers or sisters harmed? What if we could have it so no living being would be put in dangerous situations they might not come back from?”
Nick walks over to the bulges and throws off the covering tarp revealing a trio of mechanical beings, each one around seven feet tall and embossed in a generic gray and white paint scheme, the “heads” being a sleek design with a small red visor of sorts as the eyes. The head barely pokes out from a wide-framed structure that can easily be deduced as being the torso, a small barrel poking out of an opening at the chest area. The arms were a hydraulic variety with the forearm area featuring a mechanism for holding a variety of armaments, the same feature being on the back and shoulder areas. The legs were also a hydraulic movement variety, flat plates on the upper leg and quite wide in the lower leg with the “toes” in a T fashion, one on the left and right sides with another on the front.
The crowd made their intrigue vocal, oohs and ahhs coupled with a sudden flood of flashes as cameras were raised.
“Fellow Titanites, meet the Night Industries NI-601. Codename: the Peacekeeper. Each one allows for a variety of customization with its attached armaments which are being developed as we speak. Soon, the Peacekeeper will become a faithful member of the TCPD and be used when situations are deemed too dangerous for officers. The Peacekeeper features a learning AI that assesses the situation and adapts tactics to it as needed, but will also be operated by human technicians who will monitor it from behind a computer to make sure nothing unwanted happens.”
He smiled a bit. “I will now allow questions.”
A woman raises her hand and asked to proceed. “Janice Lane, Channel 8 news. Mr. Night, what of the supers who already protect Titan City? Isn’t this just creating competition?”
“Miss Lane, I assure you we are not trying to put the heroes out of business if that’s what you’re getting at. But you must know that not all emergencies can be handled or even responded to by supers. And even then, The Peacekeepers would act as assistance to any supers dealing with a disaster in progress. So no, not competition but rather needed help.”

Sin Reaper got to see what he came for as he smiled. The Shadow assassin had noticed the woman that walked passed him as he tried to read her aura or identify her by her spiritual signature since she seemed familiar. If he could get his hands on Rotten's orb and Mr Night's drones, he could then begin the next phase of his plan.
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
A Reporter raised his pen "Mr. Night. You said they can be operated remotely. What safety features are there to insure a Hacker doesn't tap into the remote signal?" Rotten looked over the bots figuring they be something down in the wreckage.

"Excellent question. We've installed a few security measures to ensure only a Night Industries employee can access them, one of which is my personal touch. They only respond to commands given by a specific IP Address located in our building. The IP Address is that of a controlling console operated by employees and each control console works with a single Peacemaker. So let's say one is going haywire and rampaging. We'd find the control console for that particular Peacemaker and shut it down or deal with the employee who decided he or she would have a little 'fun'."

Sin Reaper had put all the info he was hearing in his tablet where his friend Ghost would receive it. His friend earned that name in the criminal underworld not because he was a hacker but he was The hacker villains could go to due in part to his technopathic abilities. He was a technomancer. Together he and Sin Reaper conjured up a plan to use the orb to transfer the souls of those they used it on right onto the drones if it was possible to use the orb in such a way and cause complete and utter chaos in Titan City..
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
Blinking it slight surprise, Cordelia would be among the first to clap at The Peacekeeper's unveailing, before asking a question herself, her voice somehow compelling others to hold their tongue as she does so...
"I trust that it's adaptive protocol will be able to distinguish from friend or foe, or controlling collateral damage?"
*Meanwhile*
Watching the trio of drones with a watchful eye, Lady Nova would also speak up...
"Are these the only models in production, or will these be mass produced, avaidable for public market...security services...?"
[CENTER][URL=http://www.nodiatis.com/personality.htm][IMG]http://www.nodiatis.com/pub/10.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/CENTER]
Tyrian moves over to the robots and looks them over. Still a foot shorter than him, they didn't appear to intimidating. He taps one on the head. He continues to walk around them looking them up and down and is starting to be impressed with the heavy armor and weapon loadout. He grabs one of the arm actuators and test to see if there is any excess play in the hydraulic mounts, and it is solid.
*Waiting in turn for a question*
"Very impressive sir. So the employees running the terminals, what are their qualifications? Are they seasoned law enforcement, military, local security, computer techs, or, please don't say it...lawyers?
"Indeed, Miss Coredlia, the top priority is making sure it knows the difference between friend and foe. To help with this, the first waves will be escorted by TCPD officers on their patrols. As for production, these three are merely the first. We expect to have an assembly line ready within a few months after initial testing is complete. And for other buyers.. I'm happy to say that the option will be available in a year or two for anyone not affiliated with our local law enforcement. However, those buyers will undergo heavy background checks. We wouldn't want to knowingly supply a villain with a robotic army, would we?"
He smirks a bit at Tyrian.
"Military technicians will be behind them, lawyers will stay where they should.. far away from the lawsuit machines as possible."

Several minutes into the press conference, Impact finally came swinging in. He waved as a few cameras focused on him briefly, then landed on the podium next to Lady Nova. Considering the number of camera's on them, he didn't greet her with the usual kiss, instead just leaning in to whisper in her ear.
"Sorry babe, got held up by some Motorheads that were trying to dismantle the 9th Precinct's motor pool. What'd I miss? Ooh, robots!"

Nick looks at Rotten quizzically, wondering if the undead one is really asking what he thinks he is.
"...These.. are oddly specific questions, sir, and I don't feel confident in answering them."

"Just thinking ahead. After all some villain with water powers could short them out. Or say a flyer like Lady Nova sends them up to the stratosphere. Or she could short all of them out with a simple pulse of electromagnetic blast. I don't deny the fact before my ... change I was a crook. Being on the bad side of law and order those would be the first types of attack I try. Failing those I would try for the joints to disable it's mobility and combat functions. I rather someone ask those questions before some villain tries them." He takes a drag and blows out smoke "Kind of called tactics."

Smiling, Lady Nova would turn to Impact and whisper back...
"Don't worry, not much, just a few Team Night groupies, reporters, and other heroes....Mr Night himself just unveiled a series of what he calls 'Peacekeeper' robots, combat drones that will assists both the TCPD and superheroes in defending Titan City, which we will no doubt keep a close eye on...something isn't right about that...this program..."
*Meanwhile*
Cordelia would simply smile and laugh, others compelled with her, before she would walk to the podium, quickly bidding him a kiss on the cheek farewell, leaving him with a nigh undetectable psychic whisper..
"Excellent work, the drones are marvelous...I trust you will fill me in on their full applications later..."
With that, she would swiftly walk across the Plaza, the same chill felt earlier resonating across the area, as she enters her limousine, and driving off without a sound....

Marcus left the meeting as he contacted Ghost who would immediately hack into the drones to test out their capabilities using his technopathy. If he suceeded then they could start the next phase. Marcus appeared next to ghost in a near by alley way.
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
Nick nods to Rotten, giving a smile
"I understand, sir. The criminal mindset was in consideration when we began building the Peacemakers. No one said they were invincible after all, but the plan is to make them a boon to the already hardworking members of our law enforcement. I will say that it would take more than a few hoses to short out the circuits, but by that point you'd have flooded the city so what would be the use?"
He then sends a response to the Contessa, both firm and kind to her.,
"My dear.. these are for the heroes. No underlying scheme or mind control devices... The only thing we get are profits from the sales."
He smiles once more to the crowd, bowing to them before exiting.
"I believe this conference is over. I thank you all for coming and hope that our creation will-"
"Mr, Night, something's wrong!"
Nick turns and watches as the Peacemakers come to life, and he slowly facepalms. He knew it'd happen.. but now? Right before he was about to send everyone home? In front of the gathered heroes?
"..you have got to be joking. No one.. NO ONE should be this stupid."

Sin Reaper smiled when he knew Ghost was in. The Shadow Assassin then ordered him to test out the weapons system but not injure or kill anyone.
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
Not wasting any time, Lady Nova would allow her hands to glow, gathering energy, but not attacking yet...
"Mr Night, is that thing being hacked or is it one of your people, regardless, shut down the source, and if you can't, you'll have one less 'Peacekeeper' bot to keep track of!"
[CENTER][URL=http://www.nodiatis.com/personality.htm][IMG]http://www.nodiatis.com/pub/10.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/CENTER]
Ghost could see everything through the robot while he had that mental link with it. He described what was happening to Sin Reaper. The Shadow assassin chuckled to himself.
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
All that happens is a bunch of clicks and whirs, Night being smart enough to display the Peacekeepers without any armaments attached. He just shakes his head a bit and pulls a remote out from his pocket.
"Security measure number 3. My personal touch."
He presses a button and a signal travels to the Peacekeeper then uses the connection between it and whoever or whatever is controlling the robot (In this case, Ghost) to travel to the source of the connecting signal. When it arrives, it emits a high frequency sonic wave in his ears.
"Whatever or whoever has taken control is going to be bleeding from the ears in a few moments."

"I think I may know who is behind this Notice anyone missing?"
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander

"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
"I would rather not see them harmed, thank you. We spent too much time actually building the things to have them destroyed NOW."
Nick sighs a bit. He wanted to see who was trying to control his creations but if they were destroyed then such a thing would be impossible. On the other hand, he didn't want this to turn into a PR nightmare.

Sin reaper stood there with a smirk on his face. He had seen enough and ordered Ghost to sever the mental link as the drones began to power down. Theother villains didn';t know it yet, but a new player was in town. The two teleported out of the alley back into Sin Reaper's base.
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
"Right aim for the joints disable but not complete destroyed. Impact see if you can make your energy thin enough to jam in those Joints if not see if you can puncture a hole in the armor. Lady Nova can you generate an EMP blast? Mr. Night What kind of fire power these things have and are they armed?" He didn't wait for an answer and charges forward to be the shield for any blasts those bots might produce. "Lunch time" He says and slams his fist into the head of the first one he got close to.

((cameo))
Thump Thump thump.... the sounds get louder and are accompanied by grinding groaning noises. Arch rounds the corner and stops since the crowd blocks his way. A few of the kids rush over and start climbing on the now still golem. "Make way for King Stickers, lord of all machine stuff!" One of the braver boys was atop Archs head waving a small blunted metal sword... most likely an Arch creation. A gap toothed girl who was slightly more timid clung to Archs hand and joined in the shouting (From behind Archs protective looking hand). "King stickers doesn't break like Mr. Nights robots!" Several adults chuckled at the antics.
More kids poured into the area. Their parents for the most part letting them run up to Arch. Eventually Arch looked down. He opened his gigantic hands letting the kids climb up and sit all over him. Then Arch started walking again. The boy on Archs head was swinging his sword. "Aether Pirates only wish they were as cool as me! I am captain of Stickers!" The adults in the crowd jostled out of the way as the monolith moved down the street. The parents who had let their kids ride Arch knew he would drop them off at a nearby park or playground before going into any dangerous part of town.
Arch lumbered on. The sounds of squealing children mixing with that of clinking gears and rubbing metal.

Lady Nova would try to shout before Rotten charges, but to no avail....
Seeing him rush forward, she would simply curse and encase him in a bubble of energy, shouting...
"They're powered down Rotten, stop!"

"Wait wait wait wait wait wait WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIT!"
As Rotten slams into one, he facepalms once more.

Marcus knew he made the right choice by bringing his crew back from his reality. Among his luetenants were Ghost the technomancer, Stitch, their resident healer with healing abilities. Ricochet, Their marksman, Raiden, their swordsman, Bastion, their muscle, And finally Isis Marcus's girlfriend with telekenetic and telepathic abilities along with a bunch of soldiers They had lived in secret since they arrived, making this their first job as the newest crime syndicate in town.

His fist hit Lady Nova's energy shield just inches away from the metal face of the bot. "Right powered down." He lowers his hand and looks to Nova. "Here I was looking for a good spar."

Shepherd walked up to the drones as he looked at them. Luckily no one was hurt, but it didn't mean that the next time the results would be the same. He had observed the drones the whole time looking for weaknesses in order to take it down if need be.
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
Alaika knew that, with so many heroes around and with Mr. Night himself on guard, she wouldn't have to step in, so she smiled with a measure of relief as the previously rogue robot began to power down. However, one thing that kept on plaguing her mind was Mrs. Cordelia and the presence she gave out. She didn't like it. It felt dark and very much foreboding, but she put the thought aside and she ran over to the podium. "Looks like the crisis is averted for now," she said and nodded to Lady Nova as a silent greeting. "However, now that we know about its clear flaw, perhaps more counter-measures would be put in for the future, Mr. Night?" she asked.

"Well... that was interesting." Impact said as his armor disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.
"Was that some kind of glitch, Mr. Night?"

"Little Miss, if we stay out much longer it will tax your health." A man wearing a sharp white suit with a small emblem of a sword on it addressed a young woman sitting in a wheelchair. Her hair a pale silver. Her light grey eyes rimmed darkly from a lack of sleep. She couldn't have weighed more than 70 lbs. Her dress mirrored the tall mans in style. Around her neck a pendant with a padlock. "It's okay Justin. I wanted to see the unveiling without being noticed. Do you sense it, magic is in the air." The girls fragile voice was hoarse. The man called Justin put a gentle hand on the girls head. At first look they seemed to be of similar age, but something about the lines near Justin's eyes spoke of true age.
"Little Miss if you tell me who I will make sure they don't see the end of the day." The girl looked up and smiled. "No my precious Justin, there are to many, and they have to much power." The girl brought her hand up and squeezed Justin's hand pressing it against her cheek in a familial way. "If you really wish to fight them I will summon the Maiden and we can try to take out one before the other three kill us." Something about the girls tone said she was serious. What Justin said next would determine their fate. "No Ms. King that won't be necessary. Your health and the future of your family is everything to me... as always."
Justin turned the wheelchair from their vantage point and wheeled Ms. King towards the podium ramp. As they approached the emblem on Nicholas' suit disappeared, though the pendant on the frail woman remained.
Ms. King ((Nick would know her as Ariana King, heiress to a small precious metals + minerals corporation. They sell to several major tech companies in Titan City.)) smiled pleasantly despite the commotion on stage. "You know Mr. Knight, I can recommend several companies who do top notch counter cyber-terrorist work. It seems your security people are lacking this month." Ms. King stood slowly to give the mogul a hug. Her light jab at his expense nothing more than a friendly greeting. Justin's jaw would tighten as he watched her stand. "Ms., your hea..." Ariana waved a few fingers meekly to shush her guardian.

"Indeed... unfortunately, whoever did it is probably long gone by now. And no, not a glitch. More than likely it was a technopath. Bloody things.. supposed to be rare."
He sighs a bit before feeling the newcomer giving a light embrace, smiling down to her.
"Well, Miss Ariana.. what a pleasent surprise. Though aren't you worried about the rumors popping up once more? I'm certain your guard wouldn't enjoy having to deal with them again."

Sin Reaper sat in his office with Isis on his lap as they drank some wine He looked at Ghost.
"So did you get the info we needed?"
Sin Reaper smiled at the technopath.
"Good, because there has been a change of plans. I want you to build me some stealth drones based on those drones that we can sell to the highest bidder after I get the orb."
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
Rotten tapped the face of the bot "You sure I shouldn't punch these things a bit make sure they are dysfunctional? I could use the workout." Shrugs and takes out another cig and lights it "Mr. Night I'm afraid these public displays are becoming bad luck for you. At least no one had to destroy your bots."

Ariana sat back down exhausted. "Oh which ones Mr. Knight? About Justin being my secret lover? Or that my health is failing? How about the one that I am in league with mystics!" The girl laughed at the absurdity of her suggestion. "So Mr. Knight, who are your friends, and a better question, what gems do they favor? You know it is always good to have famous capes in your designed goods. Those two giant men would look radiant in some Emerald and silver. As for your ... mistress? ((nodding int he direction of the countess)) Some fire opal and amber in a midnight gold necklace would make her eyes stand out even more than they already do."

Shepherd thought the woman was very sweet. He had then created a flower made out of glowing blue spiritual energy and handed it to Ariana.

Nick gives a small chuckle as he playfully twists Ariana's hair between a pair of fingers.
"You know what I mean, Madame King. One light peck on your cheek and suddenly the rumor starts that you're the next Mrs. Night. As for Cordelia.. one could say she's a person of interest."

"Oh, I doubt you could find a rock suitable for my finger Mr. Night. how could you show off your impressive fortune on a hand as fragile as my own? Yes... Cordelia, she seems the sort that would interest a powerful man. Now about your friends on the dais with you. I do so enjoy meeting capes. Oh a flower!"
Justin had snagged the flower before Ariana could take it. After a very close inspection including smelling it, running it on his own flesh (and several inspections undetectable) he handed it to his ward. "Its safe Ms. King" Ariana frowned at her protector. "Now Justin, Mr. Night and his friends will think we don't trust them. How else would I get all of their future business. Our gems need to walk the cape carpet after all" Arianna chuckled lightly as she sniffed the flower. She would wait for Night to introduce the capes officially to her, it was good manners.

He smiles to the heroes and smirks a bit at Justin's cautiousness. [i]Always so protective of her, isn't he?[/i]
"Miss King, these are Lady Nova and her partner Impact. The taller one is Tyrian.. unfortunately, I don't know the names of the others. Benefits of being lower profile I suppose.. not everyone knows your name. As for capes in my designs... wouldn't know. NightWear is Nina's department, not mine."

Impact nodded to Nicholas and then moved forward to kneel a respectful distance from Miss King that was still within reach. He started to raise an open palm, his hand out in a shaking gesture, but stopped a third of the way up and locked eyes with the bodyguard, asking silent permission.

Smiling as Mr Night introduced her, she would cautiously but friendlily approach Ariana, greeting her with a handshake...
"A pleasure to meet you, Miss King"
She would offer the girl a playful, and genuine smile...

Shepherd looked at Night then at the woman
"They call me shepherd but those close to me call me Gideon."
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
Rotten was looking over the Drones then turned his head to look at Miss King "Name's Rotten Luck for obvious reasons. Now if you excuse me I be going I know how my looks tend to disturb others." It was an weak excuse to leave, but he took it anyway and begin heading for his Harley.

Shepherd decided to leave as well when he teleported out of the there and followed Sin Reaper's spiritual signature to the alley where the trail went cold.
"In the end there can be only one" The Highlander
Ariana smiled pleasantly. her eyes sizing up the capes who offered their names. 'A super couple, interesting. I could only imagine what that sort of love life is like." The flippant nature of what Ariana said set Justin into a slightly unattractive shade of blue. She watched as the two capes exited, not commenting on or to them in order to let them leave without having to make up some excuse. Looking at Tyrian she casually remakred "A man out of place.. or time? Hmmm, I do believe a deep turquoise and adrenite armband would look smashing around those massive arms of yours."
Justin peered at Impact. "He has abilities that generate from his arms miss....." Ariana waved Justin off. She gave Impact the faintest shake of the hand before placing hers back in her lap.
Looking at first the robots and then Mr. Night Ariana posed her next question. "So what else do you plan to do today Mr. Night?"

"My name is Alaika Balta. A pleasure to meet you, Miss King, but it seems that I should be on my way soon," the silver-haired woman replied politely. Glancing at the crowd, Alaika no longer felt like staying now that the excitement had worn off from her. Looking at the group, she slowly moved away from the crowd, giving Lady Nova and Impact a quiet nod before leaving the building. [i]Something tells me I should be keeping an eye on that mechanical marionette from now on,[/i] she quietly thought.

"Well.. once we get these three back to R&D, I was going to try and arrange a dinner with Miss Cordelia. Other than that, my day is free."

Your hair is so much nicer a sheen than my own, I am dreadfully jealous Ms. Balta!" As Alaika started moving off into the crowd. "Justin be a dear and escort Ms. Balta tot he perimeter. A svelte woman like herself shouldn't have to deal with the jostling public." Justin nodded and moved to clear a path for Alaika. He didn't look to see if she was following, he wanted to get back to Ms. king as soon as possible. She always got herself into trouble when she sent him away.
Once Justin was out of earshot Ariana spoke to Mr. Night again. She made sure it was loud enough for Tyrian, Impact, and Nova to hear. "I was reading the story of Icarus the other day. It had been referenced in a crossword I was doing. Whenever I imagine flying I think it would be very much like that story. Reaching for to much at once and losing it all." Ariana rolled her pendant between her fingers. Justin returned before Ariana got to the point... or had she?
"Miss your health. It has been enough time. Your father will be very worried by now." Justin gently but firmly wheeled Ariana around giving a half nod to each of those still on the Dais. "Mr. King would like to extend his thanks for indulging his daughter but she must rest now." Justin was well rehearsed in dialogs like this. Ariana didn't put up any fuss as she was wheeled off the podium.
