After Action Review

May 03, 2008 21:34

Sleek leather chairs surround a conference table with a surface buffed to gleaming. Windows look out over a spectacular view of Metropolis. It's quiet, with barely even the hum of air conditioning stirring the calm ( Read more... )

With a rush of air, the Top enters - landing in one of the posh seats, his angular momentum causing it to spin slightly.

"Gee, I hope he recognizes the quality of my work."

His tone is mock-earnest.

Blake tilts his head, watching the Top's constant motion.

"I hope he's not blown out of his chair by that Oscar-level bad acting you did."

infinity_inc May 4 2008, 05:16:05 UTC

"What, the part where I pretended to respect you as the squad leader? Some things are just hard to fake, Blake."

His smile could almost be described as challenging.

nynecrymes May 4 2008, 05:18:19 UTC

He kicks back a bit, putting his hands behind his head. "No. Just the part where you actually looked proud to be in public wearing a green and yellow body sock."

"But hey, if you're going out, at least step fabulous, right?"

Thomas sits in one of the side chairs, looking over the files, and on-site reports from the encounter.

"Oh, from how much he's putting in? I'd be willing to bet he'll show up sooner than later."

bana_grace May 4 2008, 05:14:47 UTC

"From how much... wait." Grace's feet hit the carpet and she leans forward, elbows on the table.

"Are you sayin' this might not necessarily be a happy meeting we're at, here?"

infinity_inc May 4 2008, 05:22:37 UTC

"Did you see the property estimates?" The un-armored Killer Moth flips through one of the paper stacks with a whistle. "This stuff was a lot less concerning when you're on the other side of the caper."

bana_grace May 4 2008, 05:25:57 UTC

Snaking out a hand, Grace snags one of the piles for herself and reads through the first few handouts.

"Right. Sure hope this isn't coming out of our paychecks."

The Big man did indeed show up. The doors to the briefing room open up and close immediately behind Lex Luthor, Infinity Inc's founder and financial backer.

Luthor goes and sits at the head of the table, removing a pair of spectacles and placing them on the bridge of his nose, looking over the figures.

"Gentlemen and Lady...before we begin, I'll inform you that Wizard and Miracleman will not be joining us here for the review. I've given them theirs myself, and wanted to just have the rest of the group here to cover at once. Due to their injuries and recovery time, its best that they not be here for this."

bana_grace May 4 2008, 05:49:23 UTC

Grace leans back in her chair, arms crossed, looking towards Luthor.

"Lots of info in these papers here, Luthor. Hope there's good news in there somewhere."

man_of_stee_ll May 4 2008, 05:53:06 UTC

He looks up, seeing her as if for the first time. "That's Mr. Luthor to you. And why would there not be good news in here? I'm certain that Infinity Inc would have nothing but accolades to share about their capture of Dr. Phosphorus and what Lexcorp's chemical response team determined was two thousand gallons of Soder Cola."

bana_grace May 4 2008, 06:01:38 UTC

She frowns a little at the reprimand, but laughs as well.

"That thing was full of cola? Remind me to never drink that shit again."

"...I've been misunderstood here...what I meant was..."

man_of_stee_ll May 7 2008, 05:59:32 UTC

Lex presses a button beneath the table. "Misunderstanding."

Immediately a team of Lexcorp security rush the room, and yank Catman out of his chair, signaling for one of the window panels to open and expose him to the chilled Metropolis skyline.

"I am certain that you and I haven't worked together before, Thomas. So let me inform you of something. I am Lex God-damned Luthor. I can wipe out you, your family, and everyone you've ever dreamt of given space and opportunity. At the moment, YOU, my friend...have both.

The opportunity to change your answer, your leadership, and your focus as field leader of my team is first. I don't accept a "we'll get there." You ARE there. You are to STAY there. Because otherwise, you...and the rest of your crew will be dead. And replaced ( ... )

Meanwhile, back at the base... bana_grace May 12 2008, 05:56:24 UTC

Grace is walking back through the door. One casual swing and the door is knocked back closed, clattering against the doorframe.

She is muttering to herself.

"... arrogant self-righteous jackass..."

Re: Meanwhile, back at the base... infinity_inc May 12 2008, 18:08:44 UTC

In a rush of air, she is joined by Roscoe Dillon.

"I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific, Grace - other than Cameron, who's quite happy to be employed as our resident invertebrate, all of us can fit that description."

Re: Meanwhile, back at the base... bana_grace May 12 2008, 19:53:59 UTC

"Roscoe darlin', while I may be arrogant, I would like to think that I am still a fairly pleasant person to be around. You're just an asshole."

Grace continues down the hallway.

"Maybe next time you'll get to be the one dangled out the window. We need to get this shit figured out."

nynecrymes May 13 2008, 07:10:50 UTC

Blake himself enters the quarters, carrying a bottle of Cutty Sark scotch in one hand and a glass in the other, not looking up at either of them.

"If you two are quite done whispering and wondering..." He pours a shot and takes it down, wincing from the burn. "...we can figure out how to move on."
