Cassie lifted a hand and wiggled her strangle elongated, curled fingers. "Well, If we want to deliver in person." She knocked at the door, making sure she was standing tall and proud. It was really quite funny how people thought she was a guy, but with her suit and her transformations, it was easy to mistake her as such. As opposed to her usual 5'3, she now easily stood at an average 5'10- she had her buggish feet to blame for that. And her suit's breastplate made her look incredibly buff. Sure, she was strong, but that wasn't because of any physical muscle. "Hm," Cassie frowned behind her helmet. She knocked again, and waited a but longer. Still, nothing! "Course, first go, and our plan is already ruined!" She crouched down and shove the letter under the door.
Hollis waddled through the door way, carrying stacks of clothing and fabric in his arms. He had a massive apartment he could go to, but he much preferred Noah's now. It was smaller, more homely. It felt safer, in a way. Unlike his- undoubtedly gorgeous -modern home filled with the latest and greatest in security tech, Noah's apartment felt personal. "Hey, a--hole!" He called in the direction of the computer, where Noah was normally perched. He dropped her stuff on the couch, then moved over towards Noah. "Look, look, look, look, look!" Looking as proud as ever, Hollis lifted a shirt up. It was shockingly normal. It still had a certain "runway fashion" flair to it, with some hand stitched designs covering the front and strips of a shiny- though not glowing! -fabric periodically wrapping around the arms, and mesh in the spaces in-between. "It moniters your heart rate and perspiration to detect when the wearer feels endangered, then the mesh is actually motorized little carbon bits and it tilts the reflective parts to blind any possible assailant." He paused. "So don't get panicked while we're out, alright? Gonna get arrested for assault..."
Hermes grinned, smacking his lips together hungrily as he lifted the bowl, paying no mind to the heat coursing through his hands. Nothing could stop this boy from devouring food. "Come on! I'm sure there are plenty of people who are into that whole... scary vibe thing you've got going. Actually, one day, I'm going to take you out, and we're going to find an elegible bachelor, bachelorette, whatever. And I'll be your wingman!" He paused to begin slurping the meal down.
[ I'm sure people will eventually put two and two together. Not to mention there are various groups within the city who are keenly interested in xenohumans. I'm sure it won't be a problem lol ]

"It would have to work wouldn't it? I mean their goal is too keep the city safe, so I'm sure if we managed to convince them that it was worth it then they'd have to follow through. Or if it was a law or something, well they can't set a wrong example right?" he looked over at the young man curiously. "Because if there were any, well then wouldn't they feel safer knowing that a xenocop was the one doing all of the appointments or whatever, you'd have to trust one wouldn't you? And then that way they'd feel safer," he explained. This was certainly a lot harder than he thought it would be, but hey, now that he wasn't working alone and had Lawrence to help things could go a lot smoother.
It had taken a few weeks before she realized that Hermes ate just as much as she did and never seemed to care whether it was hot or not, and so it had taken some time to get into the groove of making enough food for at least a family of six to feed her roommate and her little parasites. "I doubt it," she shook her head, before raising a brow,"you're going to be my wingman? Puffball, you kissed some random chick, I don't know if having you as my wingman is going to up my chances," she mused. While he slurped it down, she at least had the decent to use a spoon as she ate her own bowl. It wasn't too bad, seemed like she could have added a bit more flavoring though, or at least something to bring it out some more. Not that she was going to complain, it was edible food and that was all that mattered really.

Beau looked so small in comparison to taller, beefed-up Cassie- in fact, this was the most side-kick he'd ever looked. Which was sort of fitting considering there wasn't exactly anything special or xenohuman about him- not that he knew of, at least. Scratching at his head with the corner of one of the envelopes, Beau pursed his lips behind his mask and thought of what to do next. Finding Kate would just unnecessary, so they'd just have to hope someone else was around. Flipping the envelope around to read the name, he held it up to her. "What about Ramona?"
Noah dragged his headphones off as Hollis entered, rubbing one of his eyes in attempt to snap out of the focus he'd been in for the past hour. Oh, was it already this late? Despite his haze, he cracked a grin at the rather insulting nickname and rose from his seat, rolling his shoulders with a sigh form sitting in the chair for the whole 3 hours of wait. He walked over to look at the shirt that Hollis had insisted he wear, reaching out to touch one of the sleeves. He wasn't a big fan of long-sleeves, as his arms made things difficult to fit, and this still looked rather flashy to him, but the excitement on Hollis' face over it made it hard to say no. Also, he really couldn't, Hollis would find a way to put it on him anyways. "So what you're telling me is that you're the one giving me the bulletproof vest?" he teased, glancing up at him with a smirk. Why else would there be such dramatic security measures? "Gosh, I didn't know you were so worried~"

"Getting some regulations on xenohumans activity and such would certainly go a long way." As he spoke, Lawrence opened his phone and sent a message to Xavier, "Yo, you know any Zeno cops?"

Xavier had just finished his shift when he got the text, leaning against his patrol car as he tugged off his coat and read it. 'Other than me? I think one of the sheriffs is, but I havnt seen her use anything so it might just b a rumor. Y?' he replied, scratching the back of his head. What was Lawrence digging into now?

(I don't think you missed much mate, just Justice patrol dropping off an acceptance letter, Kate sassing Percy, and Lawrence partnering up with Deacon to work on some xenohuman fun things.)
Lawrence stared at his phone, mouth dropping open. He must be reading that wrong. There was no way. But he had to check. He immediately called Xavier and immediately yelled into the phone, "YOU ARE?! Why didn't you tell me?! I thought we were bros!"

IRIDAE ;;
In truth , Iridae had completely zoned , staring off into space for a majority of the time the two had been talking . She couldn't explain why , but something felt ... weird . Suddenly snapping back to reality , she shuddered , her eyes widening before she reached for her back pocket . It was as if a huge wave had swallowed her up , and she could hardly recall any of the conversation that had been going on . " Could - Could you e - excuse me for just a minute ? " She rushed off towards the counter , feeling faint as she did so . She trembled as she reached for the loose cash in her pocket and set it on the counter .
" Yeah sorry I need , I just need - something whatever the cheapest thing you have is , I'll take it . " It was as if something had drained the energy right out of her . Was it a panic attack ? She couldn't seem to discern if it was that , or something else . As she waited for her order she took a few deep breaths , trying to keep herself in the moment while she waited . What was happening ? She'd never had panic attacks like this before ...

Xavier answered the call innocently, then immediately had to pull the phone from his ear as Lawrence screeched. Had he not told him? Oh. Right, he was supposed to keep that a secret... Yikes. Well Lawrence had kept his secret his far, so he'd have to hope. "I thought I told you? But um you can't tell anyone else either, I'm not actually supposed to tell anyone."

Lawrence, in his excitement, was barely listening after Xavier confirmed it. It was better than he'd ever imagined. His main man, his best bro, his favorite informant, and the most awesome cop on the force was a xenohuman this whole time! It staggered the imagination. He had so many questions. But business first, of course, "Cool, so we're gonna try and set up a xenohuman registry and your help would be amazing! That way, first responders can better assist people in need and nobody gets into bad situations due to their powers! Isn't it great?"
(He has such big cute dreams)

[ jskfds HES SO CUTE ]
Xavier listened to the excitement in Lawrence's voice and just shook his head, wondering just what he got himself into. "First of all, who is we? And second of all, I'm not so sure that's a good idea. You don't know how is out and who isn't, and making a registry of them could make them targets. The information would have to be kept classified."

Lawrence would not be so easily swayed. He had a plan, of course. And the first part involved a few friends he'd made over the past few months, "That's where the Xenohuman Integration Society comes in! Remember that woman who got convicted a while back, Eliza Blackwell? She belonged to a group looking to seek specific legal protections for xenohumans. If we get their support, it would do wonders for convincing people that we're here to help! Besides, the list itself wouldn't be exactly public informatiion. It'd be little more than a census record and wouldn't be posted on HeadNovel."

Xavier scratched at his cheek as he thought it over. Lawrence's enthusiasm made it seem easy, but this would different than just giving him gossip or letting him look at cam footage. "Well, that sounds great and everything, but I don't have clearance to release anyone's files, and that includes giving out names. I want to help you, but this is definitely breaking the law. I'd have to run it past the chief before I gather any information, and it sounds suspicious."

Kate tore her attention away from Percy to the woman who seemed to be pretty nice. She raised an eyebrow at her zoning out and coming back in all by her self. Something was definitely weird about this young girl. She was far from normal. Kate, at the back of her mind, wondered if the girl was a metahuman. If she was that could possible explain why she couldn't use her speed. But she quickly swatted that thought away in for the concern for the girl who seem quite nice.
Carter was out and about for the day, he'd had a business meeting earlier in the day. Even though now that he was a business man, it didn't mean that he dressed in the typical manner. He still had tan slacks and a nerdy, but nice t-shirt and carried his jacket.. This was his chance to see what Kate had dragged him into.

After she got her drink and began to settle down , she slowly walked back towards Kate . Sure , they were still strangers , but she didn't want to seem like a total weirdo ; she could at least try and explain herself and ... whatever it was that just happened to her . There was a slight change in pressure as she closed in on them , and her pale face was hot with embarrassment .
" I am so sorry about that , jeeze , I ... I don't know what happened ... A - Anyway , I should probably head home soon , I hope you have a better day than I've been having . " She turned on her toes and put her hand to the side of her head , as if to block out anyone giving her weird looks . Maybe she should've just stayed home today after all ...

"It's fine kid. We all have those days. Is there anything going on that you'd like to talk about? No pressure. You don't have to talk if you don't want to. I know how it goes. I've have a few stressful six months or so, or even stressful last few years." Kate could of probably added that she'd become somewhat of a local celebrity herself with the accident all. But she didn't want to mention it. After all, she was trying to move on from her past while figuring out what was going on with her, and practically losing her dream job while at it also.

(ssshhhh, it's fine. he has the best of intentions)
Lawrence pouted slightly, "Xavier, please? It's to help people. Besides, I have every intention of bringing this before the mayor. Somebody needs to try and change something, considering how poorly things are going right now. We can change the world, you and me and the Big D." He grinned at Deacon, giving him a friendly elbow in the ribs.

Though the girl had intended to walk off and head home , she stopped and turned back around with a small sigh . She glanced to the seat next to her and tilted her head to the side , almost in a ' do you mind if I sit here ? ' manner . She set her notebook down on the table as well as her drink . " I'm kinda new to the area . I was adopted when I was twelve , - I'm sixteen now , - and my family just moved here a few months ago . I'm ... still kind of adjusting . " She muttered , tugging at the ends of her hair . " Wanted to go to public school but my parents ' don't think it's a good idea right now ' , " She lifted her fingers in air quotes with a frown . " Sometimes I think they just have an issue with xenohumans , and they don't want me around them . That's stupid and ... racist ... and dumb , right ? I mean , come on ... " Her finger tapped the table anxiously as the pressure around her seemed to thicken a hair . " Maybe it's not that , it could be anything ... I'm sorry , I totally shouldn't be dumping this on a stranger ... I'm Iridae . " She extended a hand for Kate to shake , if she so desired .

[ God Lawrence ur so pure but noooo ]
Percy laughed. "Believe me, you won't be in the spotlight. No one cares about an assistant. Besides, if you took an English course in college and passed, I'm sure you have all the necessary skills needed for the position." Not true, but keeping Kate around would really make things easy on her. Not to mention, Percy was a workaholic who preferred to do most things herself. She pulled a card from her purse and slid it towards her. "Just think about it." Then the other girl was abruptly walking away and Percy was still confused. Both of them were acting quite odd, so she couldn't even place which was the xeno. Because wasn't quite sure what to say, she simply watched this short exchange. But then, oh boy, a whole load of info. Persephone would never understand how someone could simply spill so much to complete strangers. Information was powerful, personal info even more so. How could they just go waving that around? Alas, she wasn't supposed to be a reporter at the moment. No need to ask her a slew of questions, as her nature desperately wanted to. "Sounds like a fun life," she mumbled sarcastically- which wasn't very professional or kind, but when was Percy very traditional in that way. "Well, if they don't like xenohumans, they certainly shouldn't have moved here. Maybe they'll learn to be more tolerant when one saves their a--es."

Xavier snorted. "Big D? Who the hell is that? And look, it would be easier for you to go to the mayor first, then I'll have legitimate reason to go to the chief for names. Mind you, I'm already on thin ice with the rest of the force because I'm a xeno. I can't make any wrongs moves here Lawrence or I'll lose my job. That registry will have me on it, so you can't blame me for being worried."
