Several global news networks have sent representatives. His message will go out on channels all around the world. Putting a smile on his face, Vandal Savage steps out onto the stage that has been prepared. A large podium stands in front of his manor house on New Albion - and some of his new lieutenants already are waiting on the stage ( Read more... )

Her television has been on primarily as background noise as she's worked with her laptop, finding all the information she can about her current contract. The CEO was foolish to let his assistant keep his itinerary online. Not with so many dangerous people in the world.

She hears the voice of the man she knows fathered her, and there is a small curiousity. To hear what he is saying, and perhaps consider it.

But Scandal has never had need of a father, and truth be told, she would never wish to live on some 'peaceful' paradise. Though she highly doubts that's what this 'New Albion' will be.

Back to her work, then. She'll have plenty of other times to not care what her father is doing.

His first meal today is coffee and two of Alfred's homemade cranberry and bran muffins (which, were he honest, he'd rather eat any day than some donuts, but don't tell the Englishman that), and as he settles into a chair in the den to catch up on the news, the TV switches on to GNN, its default channel. With it? Vandal Savage.

Bruce sits up, chewing pensively on the first muffin, coffee mug in hand, listening. It's not Savage yammering on that garners his attention but rather the figures with him. First and most obvious, of course, is Luthor's estranged wife; he had thought her killed in the missile attack before the Luthor presidency. Lex is going to have a stroke, thinks Bruce with a smirk that quickly fades.

Because he's espied the shadow-hugging figure nearby. "Jean-Paul?"

Hell.

In a darkened apartment, Tex Thompson switches off his television after Savage's announcement concludes. It was a rousing speech - enough to give him faint hope that Savage might have actually decided to change his approach on this one - but it didn't make stealing U.S. Government secrets feel any better.

It was easy enough to do, using his status as a war hero.

The man steps over to his mirror, beginning to peel off the latex applied to his face. Funny to think that only a year ago, his skills at disguise were being used to conceal his physical age, in the hopes of rekindling a social life long dead. Now, thanks to Savage, he had to apply the same skills in reverse. His payment for passing along the satellite tracking information - smalls vials of an injectable, greenish liquid that would temporarily make him a man of thirty again.

The supply kept coming so long as he did as he was told.

"Goddamn it. Somebody run all those faces through the recognition software, now."

Amanda Waller is watching Savage's broadcast, and she's very obviously not at all happy.

"We've got a missing J.A.K.E. unit that he's probably laid hands on, and that looks like Jean-Paul Valley, late of the Order of St. Dumas; the one on the end looks like old-school military; and.."

She narrows her eyes, leaning forward.

"Jonah Hex? Is Savage doing his recruitment with a time machine now? I've seen that man's mummified carcass.."

Waller looks to her assistants.

"Well, what're you waiting for? I'm docking you both a day's pay for every person we can't identify. Whatever Savage is planning won't be good."
