Dr. Athena assures the team.  "We'll sell our name as more family-friendly and marketable for the city, and I'll put some money behind the promotional effort."<br/><br/>Heading to the office, Dr. Athena reflects that she's underdressed for an official meeting... but it's making her feel kind of tingly too.  "Is the mayor available?" she asks the secretary with as much dignity as she can manage.  "We need to coordinate on the rollout of our team name to the press."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The secretary looks up from her desk. "Dr. Athena, always a pleasure. I'll buzz you right in," she said with a smile.  With that the party is welcomed to the Mayor's office.<br/><br/><em>What you know</em><br/>MAYOR CALLIOPE “CALLIE” SUMMERS<br/>To most of the world, Calliope “Callie” Summers was most famous as a teen socialite kidnapped from her own sixteenth birthday party by Dr. Sin, presumably to be held for ransom and later rescued, and who then became ed to social and charitable causes. In truth, Callie is the daughter of the original masked crime-fighter known as the Raven and Jasmine, the daughter of the devilish Dr. Sin. Callie’s mother perished saving her from her grandfather’s machinations, and Callie dedicated herself to fighting the forces of evil, as her father did. He eventually came around to the idea and supported her taking on the mantle of the Raven, where she became a stalwart and vital member of the Freedom League for many years.<br/><br/>Those years took their toll, however; Callie is not immortal, nor gifted with superhuman powers. Eventually, she felt she was losing her edge, slowing down. The investigation of the murder of Sarah Grant and the subsequent assassination of Mayor Jonathan Grant drove home to her the need for other types of heroes, other ways to serve the common good. She arranged to retire as the Raven, rather than being forced to give up the role as her father was, and passed the mantle on to a worthy successor. Then she began a campaign for the special election for mayor of Freedom City and won.<br/><br/>Summers impressed her constituents and her opponents with her toughness and savvy during the campaign, and continues to in her role as mayor. Although she has occasionally opined to her heroic friends about her inability to handle political problems with a well-placed crescent kick or smoke bomb, she finds her new calling a worthwhile challenge. Mayor Summers is well on her way to becoming one of Freedom’s most popular mayors, harkening back to the days of the O’Connor administration. Callie Summers is in her early 40s, with long, straight black hair, usually worn up, and penetrating green eyes. She typically dresses in a variety of smart suits for work, but is known to pull out the occasional fantastic gown for a formal or charity function. She’s known for being charming and incredibly tough by turns, and frequently seems bemused by the challenges of her job—after all, she’s seen far worse in her day.<br/><br/><em>Back in character.</em><br/>Callie was sitting behind her desk. She stands to greet you each individually. She offers you all seats and sits back down at her desk. "What brings you to my office today?" she asks with a bemused smile.
