The Litmus incident

"Define 'early'." Cyrah said. Hell, she didn't sleep, she ran on pure caffene. it was probably about seven A.M, so yeah, some of them were probably a bit irritable. "No, this can't wait." She said after a long sip. "two hundered missing kids, it's not waiting." Sarah said solidly. She turned to Dommino. "I don't see who else it could be- those Phoenix bastards are the main reason you're all here." Sarah informed. It was true- SHARP's main goal was to combat metahuman abuse- something Phoenix exceled in.

"Still didn't mention where the Java was." Reaper complained. "Shut up man!" Rook hissed at him. "If we could get some deal coordinates and we can be on our jolly way I could have a little more team spirit. I'm no meta-human, I'm just here cause I'm good at what I do dammit." Reaper said sitting up and crossing his arms.

"Only two of us are metahumans anyways. Now hush up so we CAN get those coordinates." Backarat shot in his 'i'm here against my will' tone.

Sarah finished off her coffee. "The java is all mine, compadre'." She said to Reaper. "As for the place, about twenty miles south of detroit- everything is in the folder." She said, pointing to the manilla folder she had put down.

"What?! You heartless evil woman!" Reaper cried, the coffee they get served is usually cheap china stench coffee, the instant coffee you pick up at the dollar store, at STEAM's HQ. They were in the White House, not some rundown hotel, coffee beans might as well have been grown here, hand picked, crushed, and... Reaper's mind was trailing off too much. "So what the hell are we still doing here if we have all the info we need in this grade-school report card?"

Sarah shot the look at Reaper. "I told you all to come ehre for this information in the first place. Although if you want ot whine and kill precious time, hey, far be it from me to stop you, Mr. coffee-less." Sarah said, seeming to take great pleasure in antagonizing Reaper.

[How did she get into the white house again?]

[Wait.. She's the President isn't she? They're in DC right? DC+President=White House... Right?]

[This is true, Sarah is the pres., the election was mere months ago at this point.]

"Chill Reapy!" Dommino grunted as she read over the report. "We can stop by later and get some. We gotta focus on the mission now, listen to the Ms. Boss lady and hush." as she read down the list of names in the folder, she felt her heart sink a little. "Damn, that's a lot of kids."

[O_o.. So are we in the White House or some place else o_o? I'm failing at this RP]

"You coulda just asked daddy to pick up the info, do we really need to be briefed by Madam President?" Reaper asked tapping the glass covering of his gas mask impatiently. He was really looking forward to picking up some Starsucks on the way out.

Dani slumped into her seat, arms crossed and eyes narrowed. Her mask was off, she never wore it unless she absolutely had to. The tawny haired girl winced slightly at the mention of metahuman. What an odd way to refer to her.

She would have loved to complain at how sleepy she was, too, but it'd be a lie. She couldn't sleep anyway, not with those stupid voices...

Dani spoke softly, "May I see the list?" If she did, perhaps she could tell if the children were dead or not. Searching by name was always hard, but worth a shot.

(Gonna be out till late, control goes to whoever needs it o_O Nevermind >3>)

Jack raised his hand. "Excuse me Madame president......what kind of resistanse will we be expecting on this mission?" "Aftrer all i bet whoever took those children are gonna be tough." Jack said, his voice full of concern.

"Who the hell cares?" Reaper asked bluntly. "You have any doubt that whoever the hell had the bright idea to kidnap two-hundred children is any match for us? That's a pretty low blow if you ask me; we'll kick their arses harder than any arse has been kicked in the history of arse kicking." Reaper said smiling under his mask.

"Oi lass, is this the first mission you've ever been on?" Reaper asked not bothering to look at her. "We're the biggest, baddest, strongest kid on the block. They're not gonna get away with this. You know it and I know it, we're gonna stop these faggots and show them their place."

"Guess you're right." Jack said to Reaper. Those kidnapping bast@rds wont know what hit them!" Jack said as he loudly cracked his knuckles. "Iv'e been itching for a good mission for a long time! Looks like we got one!"

The emotionless gas masked face stabbed Cora's eyes. He stared at her, he looked deadly. "You're name is Cora right?" He asked his arms crossed, he lifted his feet and rested them on the table. "Like Corafrost? Dangerous Metahuman back in the day of The Seven Days that Shook the World? Any relation?" he asked suspiciously. Though he came off as a meathead, Reaper knew his history, from the days of the Teen Titans to now; and he couldn't help but see the resemblance.

Dommino rolled her eye's and stepped between to two. "What the hell is wrong with you two?!" she asked angrily, putting her hands up. "Save your strength for the mission, sheesh. Fighting in front of El Presidente is not a smart move."

"Right here puppet." Reaper said flicking his middle finger at Cora and using his other hand to present it like an auctioneer.

"You wanna start something, eh? Or you wanna make sure I don't can change my ways and surprise you first?" Reaper mocked.

Dommino facepalmed and sat down on the table. "You two are idiots. If you wanna fight, go ahead for all I care. I got 50 on spunky!" she was referring to Cora.

"Oh snap!" Dommino pulled out her wallet. "One: BUUUURRRNN!! and two: I got 100 on spunky. Come on Rookers, get in on this."

"Cassius, permission to open fire." Reaper asked politely, a deep contrast to his attitude prior. He knew his answer was going to be a no, but he had his hand on a zipper pocket on his backpack. Just in case.

"Don't call me that." Rook said, not willing to make a pool on their own team.

(Now control back open)

As Jack was tampering with his comms headset he was looking at the insueing arguement. "Sheesh.....they really need to learn to relax."He said under his breath ."By the way, whats the channel for the comms headsets?" Jack asked Cassius.

Dani's eyes flit between the two as they argued. She stifled a smile and a sigh. "Relax guys." she muttered, considering pulling out their chairs from beneath them. Somehow it seemed suitable to the situation. Still, she mouthed to Dommino "20 on Cora". Dommino nodded, grinning.
