This was it. This was the real start of her heroic career. Of course she had gone on her little PR patrol but that was just to meet people. This time she would be actively looking for crime, looking to make the city safer. Lauren exhaled before looking up at the mirror in front of her. The storage room she was in clearly had not been cleaned recently as the mirrors surface was coated in a thick layer of dust, save for where she had wiped it away a few days prior. 

She looked into the reflection of her bright blue eyes, like jewels set within her freckled face. Reaching into one of the many small pouches she wore she pulled out her domino mask, bringing it to her eyes before placing top the bridge of her nose and securing it in place. A wide grin appeared in the reflection once the vibrant green and gold mask concealed part of her face. That wasn't Lauren, that was Whirl Girl. 

"*Come on Whirl Girl, you've got this. They're just other heroes.*"

She nodded to herself in the mirror and then took a step back. It was time to meet with the others. Turning to face the wall of the room she began to walk towards it. As she approached she didn't stop, instead with a slight motion of her hand a small 2 meter sphericle section of it rotated like a revolving door, allowing her to step through into an alley. She turned and began to slowly move towards the street proper where she would wait for the others.

Andromeda Mission Inventory: 1x first aid kit, 1x bag of zip ties, 1x hand held taser, 1x bag of 50 count Steel ball bearings, 1x lockpicks, 1x Knife, 1x can of pepper spray.

About two minutes later, Andromeda flashes in front of her, standing tall, arms crossed, with her mask showing that same inquisitive thin eyed glower it always had. It, along with the sharp, angular bits of polished scrap and sheet metal for guards and cauldrons made her a rather intimidating figure. The rest of her costume was rather colorful, if a bit darker toned than what was usually the case for heros. The visage of a galaxy littered with stars and light, A shining emblem on her chest to act as the brightest of them all, also made of metal. On her side was a number of pouches and compartments linked to her belt, a dagger sheathed on her right side.

"Whirlgirl" She spoke a few tones above a whisper, calm and collected, putting forth an air of confidence and focus. "Are you prepared for today's excursion? If you require something for protection or utility, if it's something I have, I will lend it to you, all you need to do is ask."

Heartthrob's costume took a decent chunk of time to put on properly which, when combined with her decision to take a bus further from her home to hide her identity, meant that she had to leave her home earlier to not arrive late. She had just gotten off the bus by the time Andromeda arrived so it took her a solid minute to catch up with her far more mobile allies. Her booted footsteps clicked as she jogged around the corner and into the ally way. Her bright pink outfit automatically made her identity as The Magical Hero Girl Heartthrob very very obvious to the two in front of her.

"Whirlgirl! Andromeda! The beauties I was just looking for! Sorry for being late." She struck a dramatic pose, cupping her hands into a heart shape in front of her chest and grinning widely as she tilted her body to the side. "The bus was totally late! Also I slept in a little late.." She spoke loud and bombastic, until the end, with her voice being made a little higher than it already naturally sat on the register. She shimmered a faint pink now, something Andromeda would be able to note as new. "Anything I missed?"
John
"*Oh wow we really don't match at all do we? You,*"

She raised her hand pointing at Heartthrob.

"*Are cute as hell. You,*"

Her hand shifted in the direction of Andromeda.

"*Are cool as hell.*"

Her eyes scanned her two fellow capes before she did a little hop into the air and used her power to lift her a short distance in to the air to get a better view of the two. They were both awesome costumes in their own way, she couldn't help but feel like hers was a little inferior in comparision. Oh well, maybe they could all go costume shopping together sometime! Releasing her power she dropped back to the ground and placed her hands on her hips.

"*So team! Whats the plan? You two seem old so you probably have more experience.*"
Ralph
Ignored.

That was fine, should it arise, Andromeda felt she could see to it that neither of these goofballs were too hurt. She turned with her arms folding softly in front of her chest. "Depends. There's plenty of crime happening as we speak, stuff you can spot easily if you pay attention, but where a show of force would be too much. Pickpockets, street scams, things of that nature."

To make her point clear, she gestured faintly across the street where A street vendor was catching the attention of a family. "There... Right now, seems fine, but in any moment, their wallets could be lifted by a partner-in-crime, or just a passer by. So" She turn back to face the both of them, standing a little taller than either of the junior heros. Did she fall under that same category? She didn't consider herself.

"That's sort of out of the question, though I will say our presence alone can prevent crimes like that, the common thief isn't entirely sure if a cape would or wouldn't bag them if they were caught, so they tend not to try it. The same goes for smarter, bigger criminals. We aren't ensured to catch a murder, mugging, or robery in progress if they know we're about. It's a good deterent, but doesn't catch anything. That leaves... Villains. Villains, and gang members. They'd start shit just because we're in costume."
Stacy
Theatric as ever, Heartthrob curtseyed to the compliment. Her face split into a broad grin as she looked between them. Her hands fidgeted with her wand in her hand as usual, flicking it between hands and spinning it around repeatedly. Her smile turned into a dramatic glare at Whirl Girl "I'm not old! I am 18 years of age! Don't be mean to me." She pouted her lips, drama 

She looked up to the sky, unbothered by the sun piercing the clouds, and would comment "I think we should keep an eye out for things that might actually be dangerous. Do we know whose turf we're in, is it Imperium or Top Hats..?" She gestured around herself. "It will tell us which capes might be involved and what kind of crimes are going down. Personally I hope we get to takeout some Nazis, it could be relaxing."
John
Whirl Girl's smile turns into a comically evil smirk, she looks into Heartthrobs eyes, into the other capes very soul and utters two words.

"*Okay Boomer.*"

Then her expression snaps back to her usual joyful, friendly smile with a little hop on the spot.

"*Anyway, villains you say? Well I live here so I think I know the people pretty well and to be honest there's a little bit of everything here. The Top Hats usually stick further west I think, in the Riverside and Waterfront districts but they do come here every so often. I remember seeing some on my way home from school a few months ago!*"

She thought back to then. The Top Hats she had seen hadn't really done anything but she doubted they were actually up to anything good. Maybe she would have confronted them if she had had her powers then but no way of knowing now.

"*Of course there's Nazi around. If we go to Chinatown I'm sure we'll run into the NK Triad and their capes. I'm pretty sure most cape activity happens here to be honest, Anyone who's anyone seems to have at least some influnce Downtown.*"
Ralph
Andromeda grew stiff at the mention of the top hats. Her fists balled and she huffed "Hmph, Tophats. They're garnering more support as of late, pushing back against the Nova Imperium, And as good as it is to make mincemeat of fascists, They're only doing what they have to. Still. _Scum_."

She turned to Whirl girl, addressing her seeing as it was her wish to go on this patrol in the first place. "It's your decision, but I'd like to pursue the tophats should the oppritunty arises. I can however deliver us where ever we should need to go through the use of my powers."
Stacy
Heartthrob didn't really pick up on Andromeda's body language, leaning herself against a wall. She tapped her fingers on her arm. "Sure, they're bad. Drugs are pretty harmful. But personally? I think I'd rather be fighting the guys who want me dead.. But C'est la vie. Either one's bad." A slight shift in her footing, her eyes turning to towards the clouds again. 

"Ooh your power? I've always wondered what it'd feel like to teleport. Do you need to hold us close?" She teased, a smirk splitting across her face.
John
Whirl Girl looked between the two older capes, her eyes narrowing at Heartthrob's comments.

"*Eww, you two need to like get a room. Anyway, why don't we just start patrolling and stop whoever we find. Seems stupid to go somewhere far away when there might be bad guys right around the corner right? Right?*"

She tilted her head to the side looking behind her fellow heroes at the street behind them. Her impaitence to get started was clear to see. For all she wanted to appear as a mature hero there was no denying she was just an excitable kid at heart who wanted to help people.

"*So uh, yeah shall we get started soon?*"
Ralph
Andromeda didn't quite respond to her about the use of her power, but she could be seen visibly stiffening up at the idea. Without a good look at her face it would be hard to tell... That she was blushing.

"Whirl girl is right. Start walking." She blurt out, a little awkwardly at first, finishing off more confidently. Her stride then after would lead them both down the streets of new London's downtown area.
Betty
While the afternoon in the Downtown area the group of heroes had chosen wasn't the busiest, it was beginning to edge into the evening, and the brave young heroes had intentionally elected for the *High crime* Areas to patrol. It wouldn't be quiet for much longer.

The highrise buildings around them served as monumental walls. Some might feel trapped, while others might feel protected. Either way, the usual rats of this particular maze weren't likely to find the intrusion of these colorful heroes very kindly.

The constant chatter and flow of people through the street skittered to an unhealthy stop as the three emerged from their alleyway, creating a gulf of empty space separating the denizens of this rundown place from the unknown capes suddenly appearing in their midst.

"Capes? Oh god," A quiet voice from the back could be heard murmuring.

"Come on, sweetie, we need to go, hurry, hurry, little one," Another woman chimed in the silence.
John
Whirl Girl positively skipped along the city streets happy to begin her first real patrol. Sure she liked the meet and greet thing she did but now she was really being a hero! Every so often she would use her power to swing her in a wide arc as a way of quickly moving forwards. Not for any particular reason, using her power felt good.

That lasted of course until they left hte alleyway and it seemed they had already been met with a rather suspect situation. Turning to her two fellow capes confusion could be seen in her eyes, her domino mask doing very little to conceal her facial expressions.

"*Are they talking about us? We aren't some kind of villains don't they know?*"
