The Next Generation

[Lady Jenn]

"I'm guessing we probably gave you a bit of a fright," Isaac said, blushing slightly. "If we'd had time I'd have told Andre to at least let the drone know where we all were."

[Lawshenk]

" I erm hacked him admitted ly he won't be the same again"

[Lady Jenn]

"If I couldn't hack back into my own systems I'd be worried," Andre said, appearing suddenly, followed by a tall red-haired woman, dressed in a floor-length blue dress. "Jenni, this is our host, Senya McArdle, also known as the superhero Binary."

[Lawshenk]

" never heard of her " she smiled " and looked at her " sorry "

[Lady Jenn]

"In fairness I've chosen to remain hidden for many years," Senya said, bowing. "This has long been a sanctuary for heroes who are in danger or injured."

[Lawshenk]

" ok and please no need to bow for me"

[Lady Jenn]

"This place is called the Aphrodite Project," Senya said. "It was founded before my birth by one of the earliest superheroes, even before the Corps came into existence."

[Lawshenk]

" not seen it in any comics !" She looked at her " I'm guessing that it is top secet"

[Lady Jenn]

"Indeed," she replied. "There have been too many times in the past where a hospital for superheroes would have been at risk if we'd been known to others."

[Lawshenk]

“ so why now?”

[Lady Jenn]

"We have a young hero with an...unusual talent," Anya replied. "He sensed you were all in danger quickly enough for us to send a teleporter to get you out as safely as possible."

[Lawshenk]

“ well you erm missed some people “

[Lady Jenn]

"That was unintentional," she said, offering an apologetic smile. "We feared going back would've put more lives at risk."

[Lawshenk]

“ hum”

[Lady Jenn]

"It was an attacker who could get into our safehouse undetected," Andre said. "My early warning systems are so sensitive we should have had SOME indication an intruder was there. If they could get past it we have no idea what else they were capable of."

[Lawshenk]

“ like me ? The plane I was in just sailed through? As did the people from this place” she looked at him” and your robot very easy to hack”

[Lady Jenn]

"Now is not the time for disagreement," Anya said before Andre could interject. "Our first concern must be making sure those who are wounded recover properly."

[Lawshenk]

Jennifer sighed and walked back to Issac

“ he makes my skin curl”

[Lady Jenn]

"There's stuff you don't know," Isaac said quietly. "He doesn't wear that harness just so he can control his tech." At that moment Arya had to offer Andre support, his left knee starting to buckle slightly. "Andre, that device isn't supposed to be used for this long without a break, go and rest, we'll sort things out." Andre nodded, heading for the door and exiting the room.

[Lawshenk]

“ I’m pretty sure the feeling is mutal. “ she looked at him, “may I go some where else anywhere he is not”

[Lady Jenn]

"Until we are certain who attacked you are safer here," Isaac replied. "Anya will do her best to protect us but without knowing for certain who it was it's difficult to protect ourselves."

[Lawshenk]

“ may I just go away from him then? Maybe they can help me with the greenie issue”

[Lady Jenn]

"Okay," he said, leading her away and passing Deena who was entering the room. "Deena, go check on Andre, I'm worrying about him."

"He's considerably older than me," the girl said, sighing. "Why am I checking on him?"

"Because he's pushing his body too far," Isaac said. "And someone needs to get him to rest before he does himself even more of a mischief. He might listen to you."

[Lawshenk]

“ I’m sorry hun I just don’t trust that guy”

[Lady Jenn]

"If his tech has problems it's more than his rep at stake," Isaac said, leading her out of the room. "Before he became a superhero he made gadgets for fun, but his dream career was as a lawyer. Then the day after his graduation he was driving to a party at his friends house when he was involved in a car crash. A pretty serious car crash." He paused for a moment. "It left him paralyzed on his left side, that machine he wears manages to do some of what his spine should but...the strain it places on his body using it, I'm concerned if he pushes it too far he may make his paralysis worse."
