Tarot at his friend took their leave once the discussion was over, the old man stopping by  Val before they vanished and gave the woman a gentle smile.<br/>"You'd do your mother proud, Valkyrie."<br/>Though Val isn't given much time to think about that as when Fenris arrives home...She's caught in a hug that will last hours unless she distangles herself from her dad.<br/><br/>In the coming days the group finds out just how much of a cat-herding their chosen task is as heroes and villains are difficult to find and even more difficult to persuade. The more powerful heroes often had their domains where they fought and tended not to leave those. Though after a week, the Vanguard has gathered about a dozen new recruits for their plan. From Neo-Tokyo, Lady Shogun, the most powerful villain of that city before being deposed in the days after their fight against the Shadow Scorpion there. From Greece; Obsidian. A up and promising hero who could change her form into a powerful rock and had super-strength. From Omegatropolis, Blitz the street-level hero and teleporter, and girlfriend of Detective Liam. Obakemono and Same-Bito...Fanboys of Valkyrie and two good-hearted brawlers with superstrength. Risa, aka Hammerdown...Sin's daughter and student under Barbara. From the Russian People's Commune; Sickle, friendly and flying superwoman with  a cheerful attitude and a bit too little in the common sense department. From Japan comes Foxfire, a shapeshifting villain who Jennifer had encountered a few times in her past and who wields magic. South America provides Quezatla, the divine serpent. A powerful neutral who has held much of that continent safe for centuries. From the skies of England comes Peregrin, a brash heroine eager to prove herself. Africa supplies the group with Sol and Maelstorm, a master of plasma and weather controller respectively. Lastly, as the thirteenth member...Comes Sin herself. The villainess having met Valkyrie at the door to her lair with the words. "Of course I'll help you darlin'."<br/>So the HQ is rather crowded, bu even with all their new friends...Will it be enough to turn the tide against the Emperor and his forces?
