[The device crackles on, and a young blond with a scar running down one side of his forehead comes into view. He might look like someone already here--one Alex Summers. But this? Isn't the one already existing.

This one? Looks more than a bit annoyed, but he’s attempting to control it. The muscles in his jaw flex as he presses his lips into a thin line. Once or twice he nearly talks, but stops himself, as if he’s rethinking what he was about to say.

Alex knows the consequences of flying off the handle. It’s happened before; it’s gotten others hurt.

He’ll keep this short, and to the point. Because that’s what he does.]

Look, I don’t know if Genero is running this show or not; I don’t care. I’m tired of the bullshit, and I just want answers.

[He holds up a black mask.]

And this? I’m not wearing this again.

[He tosses it down, then leans forward slightly. There are more troubling things to deal with, than a damn mask. Like after a quick survey of the room, he didn't see Sean, Teddy--any of the others. Maybe he missed them, but he has a sneaking suspicion he didn't.]

I want to know where the others are, and I want them awake.

We’ve been dreaming long enough.

[And as he reaches out for the device, he mutters under his breath, softly]

This is bullshit.

[The feed ends.]

...So you're like a secret agent or something?

[redhotsummers]

Yeah, something like that.

[Even though they don't work for the government, anymore.]

[kingofbabylon]

Fancy. So how do you go about causing said havoc?

[redhotsummers]

[He raises his hand, and a blast of plasma encircles his wrist and fist.]

Through this.

[ On moment while his eyes go all wide. ]

Holy shit, you're like some kinda super hero.

video;

[redhotsummers]

Yeah I am.

[That might get a small, real smile from Alex, then.]

[kingofbabylon]

Can I have your autograph? [ Seriously, that shit might be valuable one day. ]

video;

[redhotsummers]

...you know the last person who asked me that was a damn alien.

video;

[kingofbabylon]

[ He smirks ] I promise I'm not an alien. Do I still get one?

video;

[redhotsummers]

...sure?

[Alex looks at the kid like he's a bit crazy.]

It's whatever, man.

video;

[kingofbabylon]

Sweet. [ Look, man, it's important, okay. If you become superman someday he wants to ebay that shit. ]

So what does your awesome pink energy aura thing do? Just look cool?

[redhotsummers]

[That's a harder question, isn't it? First answer--it kills people, hurts people.

But Alex is trying to get over that. Focus on the positive. So--]

I use it to defend others. To fight bad guys.
