It was time.

It had been past time from the moment the senator had heard ""Well, I don't think it'll actually answer... just that we might get a response if we ask for one." That was all that Katherine needed to stand up, nodding to her companions as she unlocked the door to the upstairs room and stepped out into the hallway.

Her footsteps echoed in the empty space, the sound of her heels confident as they crossed the floorboards, pausing for a moment on the stair.

	"What I had in mind was something more direct," Katherine said, deliberately avoiding JT's comment about threats. "Have you--any of you--ever heard of the Four Aces?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah, I've heard of them," Jael said.

She looked over at Maxxie. "You're in the public eye. People know you're a metahuman. With this act, how long do you think they're going to let you stay doing that? They might let you stay around a bit longer because you look normal. Me? I probably won't have a job to go back to after this thing. I may not have a place to live. So for me, this offer is looking better than the alternative."

"I've been in the public eye since I was twelve," Maxxie said, tone a bit flat. Eleven, actually, but that was getting nitpicky. "There's an entire league, though. We compete internationally. Are they going to dismantle all of it? Is this just here, or is it in other countries as well?"

She looked at Katherine. "And I've heard of them. First Aces to band together for the common good and to work for the government doing good deeds here and abroad. But for one, do we have the government behind us? And for two... didn't they end not so well?"
