"Whoa, guessing you've never tasted anything like that burrito before, Galactica. What kind of foods did they have back where you came from?" Hearing her stomach growl, Ariana tries to hide her face blushing. "Okay, I want one, no two of those burritos myself. The planning went long and my powers burn a lot of calories. No idea why, I wonder if Mr. Maynard has can get ahold of any specialist to help study our powers if we ask." Taking a bite of a burrito herself, Ariana couldn't believe her mouth as she finished. "Flyby, where did you get these from, these are some of the best burritos I've ever had."

GALACTICA

K'lara polishes off the first burrito right quickly, though not in any cartoony, messy way, she just takes large, enthusiastic bites, careful not to waste any of the treat by splattering it anywhere. "I have traveled to many planets during various circuits and events for the IWF, so I have taste many alien foods. On my planet, foods tend to be very colorful as we are, but like the subtlety you can see with colors, our food flavors tend to also be more subtle. Still very delicious, though unfortunately I am not much of a cook and I don't even know if I could get the right things to make anything from my planet on your world. But if we ever go there, my mother is a very good cook and I am sure she would be delighted to make something for you to try!"

K'lara looks at the dwindling supply of burritos. "Yes, we will have to visit the provider of these boo-ree-toes to congratulate them on the delicious food....and to procure more. Now tell me more about these taw-cos..."

Sawyer gives you a mock glare, "Quiet you. Oh, and Galactica, when eating a burrito for the first time you are required, by earth custom, to try some type of hot sauce with it. That's mildest that's hottest." he points to a couple snall containers of red liquid.

Looking down at the street with his binocular-esque mask, "Looks like most of Team Incognito has moved inside." With that he activates his radio, "Since we no longer have visual on you guys, we'll need a code word in case you guys get in trouble. Since Harry is team lead it's only fitting that the code word should be 'Life Alert.'"

Alas, nothing is going on in the streets. Only the bar and the place LPH moved into look particularly active.

HP: 1; Condition: Fine

Hearing Neville’s voice brought a smile to Slyce’s face. Finally, he thought as he stretched a bit and got ready to enter the fray.

He had been waiting in the Hillbillies’ territory for a little while now after being briefed on the situation earlier by Neville and Maynard, figuring that this would be where the team would start their investigation. As much as he wanted to attend the first meeting of the whole group, he felt it was more important to attend his daughter’s dance recital. Even though he felt as if he was looking the proverbial gift horse in the mouth by skipping out on the meeting, his primary motivation for accepting the job in the first place was to make his family proud again. He also knew that the obligations of being on a super team probably wouldn’t afford him many opportunities to go to his kids’ events moving forward. Fortunately, Maynard was understanding this time so he took the opportunity. And even if he wasn't, it was worth the smile he got from her when she saw him in the crowd and the hug he got afterwards before her mother hustled her off.

His enhanced senses allowed him to see everything going on at the bar and the surrounding area from his hiding spot in an abandoned building not too far from the barn. Avoiding detection by the Hillbillies had been child’s play. Years of wetworks missions had honed his stealth skills to high degree. From what he could see from his new teammates, however, some of them might need some schoolin’ in the finer points of covert operations…

Assessing the situation, he saw a short, stocky man trying to look normal entering one of the old condos. He assumed that was Le Petite Hercule, a hero he had come into contact with a couple of years ago on one of his last assignments. Strong as an ox, stout of heart but seems to have some daddy issues. Good dude, though. He could handle himself. That name is too damn long, though, he thought. Pete sounds better.

There were three people in a pickup that pulled up a little bit ago and the two men were heading into the Hillbilly bar. He didn’t know them offhand, but he could make out the features of an old acquaintance still sitting in the truck. “Maia,” he mumbled to himself. “Now she’ll finally have to pay up…”

The others have to be around here somewhere, I’m sure, he thought. So backup for Pete shouldn’t be an issue. But if my history with good ol’ boys is any guide, give them a nip of the ‘shine (moonshine) and things can get ugly quick…

“Copy that, G,” Slyce responded to Neville. “I’m headin’ towards the bar, all this waitin’ has made me thirsty. I don’t know where all the rest of our new crew is, but have ‘em keep an eye on Pete in case somethin’ goes down.”
"Alright, Slyce", Maynard says over the radio. "Just be ready for anything. It looks like the Hillbillies are STILL active in town somehow."

"And the only person who told me that it had closed the door for good, she is une blagueuse... pardon, a joker. I did not believe her. I have not heard of hillbillies who live in the city, but if they are a gang I cannot believe they are worse than les Mousquetaires. They are the gang most tough in Pair-iss. And I go out at nuit in their neighbourhood."

"MOUSKETEERS?!" The lead one says. "NAWWWWWWWWWWW man, the Hillbillies is the toughest gang in all of Mega-City! And Mega-City is the biggest, toughest city in the WORLD!" He leans in closer "Now you need to be headin' back IMMEDIATELY, understand? These Hillbillies 'r tough as nails, and you don't wanna be caught out in the streets. BAD THINGS could be happening tonight? So high-tail it on outta here, or there'll be trouble. You get me?"

"Got them from a food truck couple miles back called Camión Taco Dorado. They stop by the university a lot, so when I saw one around here I knew I had to get us some stakeout food. Like you, my powers really burn the calories." Sawyer takes another bite, "By the way Galactica, super impressed with your choice of spice level, not many people can handle their Diablo sauce. Tacos are in the bag, hard and soft shell." Sawyer keeps scanning the streets and rooftops.

(OOC: I knew that's what you meant, and that's what I rolled. As it happens Adrien's Insight and his Deception are both 4+.

Based on what I rolled, I'm thinking Adrien can tell these guys lied about not being in the Hillbilly gang, but thinks they were sincere about not fighting ninjas. However, that's contradictory to what Maynard told us, so Adrien's unsure. If I am mistaken, let me know and I'll adjust.)

"I am sorry, but mes amis are waiting for me at the Mark's Bar." Adrien said the wrong name for Mike's on purpose. "I cannot abandon them. I think I will... how do you say? 'Take my chances.'" Adrien smiles.

(OOC: And IF he can do so without tipping them off that he's ecpecting something, he will use his Withstand Damage - making himself an easy target.)

HP: 1 Condition: Normal

"Don't worry about it," Harry says jovially, "No harm done. Besides, Skeeter here reminds me of my friends growing up."

"As for going, well, we're just waiting on a friend to show up. Short guy, french accent?"
Harry asks then glances out the window, "No idea why he was out this way, think somebody gave him a bum steer. You know how people like to play tricks on foreigners. He said he'd swing by here, and to be honest a part of me hopes he makes it quick."

He leans over conspiratorially, "I don't mean to alarm anyone, but I think you've got the right idea. Somethings going on out on the streets. There was nobody in sight for blocks before we got here. Kind of spooky."

"You're all locals, right? We get ourselves in the middle of something or is that normal?"

"Hercule has met some new friends," she said over the radio. "They seem peaceful enough. I'm going to check out the barn that worried them."
"Acknowledged. Thank you!" Semilla says in response to Dr. Mercury's report. It had taken her a moment to respond sorting out the strange flush of projected emotion for their alien brawler. "Let us know if you need back up, Doctor."

She then went back to trying to figure out how to eat when covered in bark. She'd never done this before and though her 'mouth' did open, it didn't have the flexibility that her regular flesh and lips did so she couldn't open as wide. She decided to go with a smaller taco rather than the fatter burrito. She gingerly dabbed hot sauce on and, daintily as a tree-girl could, put it in her mouth. She had to agree it was good.

She made sure her comm's mic was off as she replied. "ALMOST as good as when mi abuela visited from Mexico. That woman could COOK!" Semilla says.
"Something pithy this way comes."

Just then, a red-haired guy with a mustache bursts out of a back room. "BOYS! There's word over at Mike's that some OUTSIDERS are snooping around! I'd bet anything it's them damn NINJAS in regular-people clothin' out to ferret us out! I--- wait, who is THIS?" he shouts, brandishing a shotgun and pointing it at you.

"He just said he's out looking for his buddies at a bar!" the guy who waved you in says.
"Oh, DID HE now?!?" the man shouts. "You MUST be with them! This neighborhood used to be OURS! WE ruled the roost! WE kept them damn Baseball Furries out! And then them ninja bastards came in and took our BASE! They took our PRIDE! They TOOK OUR JOBS!!!!"
"Yeah, they T'k 'r' jerbs!" another shouts.
"They t'k 'r' j'bs!!!" a third one adds.
"Indeed! They absconded with our employment!"
"... Goddammit Percival."
"Oh! I mean, um... YEAH!!! THEY T'K 'R' J'BS!!!"


The redhead aims the shotgun at you: "Well, we wasn't lookin' to draw in the PO-LICE into the neighborhood just yet, but it's lookin' like we ain't got no choice! Let's get 'im!"

"You might not know it, on account a' bein' a foreigner..." one guy responds. "But Mega-City has a whole lot a' street activity from... upwardly-mobile youths such as ourselves." it occurs to you that despite their redneck accents (some of which aren't that convincing), none of these people look much older than 21.

You see the same barn that Hercule did not too long ago. Dark, no lights on, with some dilapidated sheds about. There seems to be nobody around. As you are assumedly still Blending In, nobody has noticed you lurking about, as they did with Hercule.

Adrien prepares himself for the coming attacks, but takes no offensive action. He crosses his hands in front of his face, hoping he looks scared, but actually to activate the radio's send-unit pinned to his cuff.

"Sacrebleu! You attack moi because you think mes amis and I work for ze ninjas? Que dois-je faire?" he says probably not sounding all that frightened.

Sawyer leaps up, "Hot damn, we got some action! Witchie, grab Galactica and Semilla. Lets do this!" with that he blasts off down the street towards where Herc was last seen.
