(Don't you have Marvel superheroes? I know Iron Man is supposed to be Canadian...)

The woman glared at River, then glanced back to Gage. "I don't know how far you got along. Hate to ruin the story for you, but Hydra is better than that. They wouldn't be so blatantly 'bad' like whats his name was. She reached in her pocket and pulled out a box of cigarettes. Then her voice dropped a little lower, "Oh, by the way, I don't smoke around the kid. Bad habit, you know. She's doing good, though. Doctor checked her over last night, says she's... as good as can be expected." She produced a lighter and lit the orange and white stick. A puff of smoke curled into the air.

Gage wasn't sure what to think. Whether this woman was qualified or not, she had to be her mother, right? As he looked her over, he noticed the same upturned nose and hooded eyes. Dark hair, but it had the same kind of curl at the ends. But blonde haired blue eyeds. Weren't those Hitler's favorites? He shoved that thought back. Captain America had been that way, and he had been depicted punching Hitler's face in one of his most famous comics. No, that was impossible.

The woman pulled the cigarette out of her mouth and the smoke that billowed almost reminded him of a steam engine.. or a dragon. "But those comics, you gotta remember, they're just stories. What we're fighting is terrorism." Her gaze shifted to each of the group, holding them in her gaze for an uncomfortable second. "Or what I hope you'll choose to fight. It's not that simple, here in the real world. Right and wrong isn't clearly defined. Think twice before you take a life, of you'll live to regret it." Now she was staring directly at River. Something flashed in her eyes set Gage off balance. She face told of a night spent grieving, but that was not what he had seen. Anger? Or was it fear?

Then she shuffled her feet, kicking at a clump of grass in the sidewalk. The smoke trailed after her hand as she moved it away from her face, "I can't tell you much." She smirked, "mostly because I don't know that much. But just... reconsider."

Gage stared. He didn't blame her for smoking, now. It must be hard losing someone that close to you. As young as Noel was, they couldn't have known each other for very long. If the man had in fact, been her father. If only he had a picture.

But nothing was written on his face more than confusion. If she was warning them about someone, whoever whats-his-name was, shouldn't it be about the guy they had killed? He shuddered, the image still fresh on his mind. He wondered if it would ever go away.

Tayn squinted at the woman. She wasn't saying anything concrete.
"Right and wrong? Are you saying that you think it was right for- Leona, to be locked in a room alone and beaten? We went there to help. That was right! We saved her! That was right! The man that died." She stopped to take a breath and find her words. The weather had changed again, hot humid air swirled around her making her feel like she was choking. She had to get her anger under control. "I can't say whether he was actually involved or not, but he attacked my friend," She said slowly. "I was trying to keep her safe and I hit him. I didn't mean to kill him, but that's what happened. I'm not sure what it is that you want us to Reconsider. But, I'm not going to work for people who think it's perfectly normal to treat a little kid like that." The heat subsided as she once again admitted what she had done. "We came here to see if Noe- Leona was ok. We did our best to keep her safe, we would like to say goodbye if we could. Please."
 
there was a supposedly good guy that was being held in the prison, named James. he is happy we killed the guy at the apt. he wants us to do a recon mission ...the new "bad guys name is Horatio the recon mission was a favor for releasing us from prison. Noel's "mom" took her from crows group.

every one met at starbucks to decide if we were going to accept the new mission from James. and since there was time and lots of people were suspicious of noel/Leonas mom Gage, rex, River, Tayn, and Crow have gone to city hall to meet with someone who left a coded message for us in the news paper. everyone who was left at starbucks will meet at the police station later to accept the mission. aero, sammy, and mikki are already at the police station.

gage's group are talking to the woman possible Noels mom.

But then he used his super strength to escape, and then flew back toward them.

The super chicken bit Leona's mother's ear.

Tayn stared at the bantam rooster that the woman didn't seem to notice pecking at her face. She looked over at the rest of the group to see if she was imagining things or if it was actually there. Then a thought occurred to her. Maybe Gage smelled like a chicken and that's how the rooster had followed them. Was it jealous?
