I'm glad we did this after moving Intercept out.

No need to be scared of going back in. If Vigilante wanted to press the attack she'd just do it.

If Vigilante wanted to, she could take care of us regardless of what we do in our injured state and it's not like we can outrun her. Best to just go with the flow and try to salvage as much of this as possible. Get the word out that until further notice, Vigilante is assumed to be a traitor working with paramilitary groups to take us down. Assume all of our hideouts are compromised.

Good point. We should probably try to reach out to other groups to see if we can start the ball rolling on investigating the paramilitary group and warn them of potential sleeper agents.

Just caught up! Also, what the heck you idiots she wasn't necessarily being mind controlled she probably met the dude we took pictures of but don't remember! We should have mentioned that before pressing her so hard!

edit: In hindsight that was mentioned in the update but I still think we coulda been a little more subtle!

The smile she did was creepy, but beyond that we were the aggressors. We dove for her, she ported out of the way, we dove for her again, she ported out of the way. She didn't attack us, she just reacted defensively to get us away from her.


I'm not sure that I believe any of that but as presented she could just be bailing because she's scared

:siren: Public Scrutiny

You answer the phone, hobbling quickly to the building. “This is a bad time.”

”I know,” It’s Intercept. ”Saw the whole thing. I’m sending -” The call ends abruptly, your phone now as useful as a brick, just as a concerned neighbor finally approaches you.

“Are you okay?” She looks like she stepped out of the People of Wal*Mart tumblr, and is staring at your obviously broken arm. “I saw you, you - you should sit down. Please?”

There’s a small crowd starting to come around, possibly why Vigilante has just ‘ported off to places unknown rather than coming back, and you shake your head. “No thank you. I just need to -” You point futilely at the door to your building and she steps in front of you.

“Sweetie I had Hank call 911, the ambulance is on it’s way. I think you’re in shock.”

A. Do what she says, don’t cause a scene

Maybe shove her pretty hard in case she's a "recovery agent" and goes for the subtle taze.

You do, but an adrenaline shot doesn't heal you, it just keeps you amped up enough not to pass out/"die" into your healing coma.

Intercept has our back, so we should head for the nearest meetup point. That way we can run into whatever backup he sent. Waiting for the cops will just end with them arresting us or some paramilitary types showing up to say hello.

:siren::siren: You're on Candid Camera!

“Oh, no, no, I’m fine. I’m a… stunt person. It’s a new ...reality TV show.” You shrug lopsidedly, and paint a grin on your face. Your overweight neighbor looks confused, and she looks around you. Looking for the cameras, you realize. “A hidden camera show.”

You’re stepping around her, limping as you try not to use your broken ankle too much. She frowns and grabs for your arm, and you flinch out of her reach. You step wrong on your bad ankle and it crumples underneath you, your foot nearly at right angles to the rest of your leg. “All part of the plan,” you say as you fall over, twisting to try to avoid smashing up your bad arm anymore.

“Are you sure?” She seems incredulous as she stares down at you, but you smile and nod even though inside your head you are screaming at her to leave you alone. You hear a vehicle pull up to the curb and the sound of a sliding van door opening, and you push yourself up.

“Everyone clear the area, please,” says a deep voice behind you that you feel like you recognize. The neighbors start to scatter and someone grabs your arm, hoisting you to your feet.

A. Try to get away from whoever is grabbing you
B. Babble more about candid camera shows and how Mario Lopez is the host remember him from Saved By The Bell?
C. Go with it, at least until you see who it is

You stiffen as you’re hauled backward, and you see that it’s a tall black guy in a button up shirt who’s muscles seem to have muscles. That voice though - you remember it from somewhere. You’re starting to ball your hand up into a fist when you hear Squib’s voice from inside the van. “You look like poo poo.”

It’s the Barrio Boneyard, and you manage to wave at your neighbor with a smile as Big Mike picks you up and places you into the windowless van. “Ah, my camera crew,” you say, and then the doors close and the van peels out from the curb.

“What happened?” asks Squib. “Intercept said to come get you ASAP since I was the closest, and Big Mike said they’d help.” He makes a face as he looks at your mangled arm. You try to arrange it in a more natural position and cradle it in your lap.

“It’s Vigilante,” you say. “I told you before that I couldn’t tell you who was threatening Intercept, but it’s her. She’s working for…” You trail off and look sideways at Big Mike, who is sitting calmly across from you two like a muscle bound buddha.

Do you…

I figured the gang we're friendly with would know one, or at least would have a contact that does. You're right that telepathic mutants would be very secretive. Either we get in touch, or word that we want to get in touch gets out and the telepath contacts us. Either way, we need someway to check for moles.
