Freeman, Jason Rusch, Superman<br/><hr/>Undoubtedly there would be plenty of scraps in the beginning. Their instincts, both wild and tame, were vibrating The Red, the force around the planet from which Mari drew her powers from. She could sense those who wanted to throw punches, the sexual energy and immediate connection between others, and the immense discomfort of yet a few more. It was a volatile cocktail that was so distracting to the woman that she almost missed Aquaman’s final words.<br/><br/>She nodded to him in respect. “Of course, thank you.” She really was thankful he hadn’t forgotten about her in the Icelandic waters, and if the Atlantean Ruler thought she could offer something to this venture, well, than she needed to believe it herself.<br/><br/><em>“Mari!”</em>She heard her name from across the room, and turning she saw Jennifer approach. It was a pleasant sight, the women knowing each other and trusting each other for quite some time. She knew Lightning was self-conscious about herself, her abilities, and her appearance, and yet through such guarded walls they had become friends.<em> “How's you, baby boo!?"</em><br/><br/>“Hello, my sweet.” Vixen extended a wet arm around the other woman’s shoulders, ignoring the fact that she was making her clothing a little damp, a planted a tender kiss on her friend’s forehead. “I understand if it was difficult for you to come, but<em>God</em>, am I happy to see you. Everyone here....their energy is starting to give me a headache.” She released Jennifer and raised her left hand to her totem necklace to force her mind to release some of the pressure that was building up. She didn’t need to feed off everyone’s emotions, but it was getting harder and harder to concentrate if people didn’t settle down.<br/><br/>The two women were suddenly interrupted by a man joining them.<em>“Hello Vixen, is it? Nice to meet you, great animal work. I have to say, I am a fan.”</em><br/><br/>Mari turned to frown at him, not knowing who he was either. Was she<em>that</em>known in the super-community? Or just<em>that</em>out of touch? Mari tended to focus a lot of her work and not so much the social aspect of what she was best at. Perhaps that’s why she and Jennifer got along so well. The man’s smile wavered as if he felt uncomfortable approaching the two beautiful women, so with a sigh in resignation to be cordial and social to these strangers who knew her, Mari extended her hand for them to shake in greeting. “Thank you. I do what I can against those who seek to foul the nest with their greed.”<em>Okay, calm down,</em>her mind reminded her.<em>Now is not the time for one of your environmental lectures.</em>“You can call me Mari when we are not working, and this is my friend Jennifer,” She motioned to greet the woman beside her, mildly forcing Jennifer to react to her surroundings. “Please tell me your name.”<br/><br/>She offered politely after they shook hands and awaited his answer.....<br/><br/>.....only to be approached by a fourth voice.<br/><br/><em><strong>“Hi, I'm Firestorm or you can just call me Jason.”</strong></em><br/><br/>Mari’s head turned and she met the handsome eyes of the newest comer. Narrowing her eyes with a smirk, she raised the same right hand and offered it towards him. “Are there really two of you? How does that work? Is it like a Jekyll-and-Hyde thing?” Her gaze wandered towards Ronnie as he mingled as well. “But I am the one called Vixen, Mari when we are casual.” She held his hand a second too long before dropping it quickly and turning towards Jennifer. Mari wrapped an arm around the other woman and gave an exuberant smile, as if trying to keep playing casually nice with the two men before them. That’s suddenly when they were interrupted by the obnoxious entrance of a female by the name of Huntress who finally settled down with a plate of snacks before sardonically meeting everyone she passed. The woman<em>did</em>make a point however; wasn’t it time to get things moving?<br/><br/>She took a step forward, and with a voice that rose above the cacophony of the crowd, Vixen addressed Superman and the other Supers gathered.<br/><br/>“I think we have wasted enough time.” Her annoyance was made clear as a bit of her African accent came out with her passion. “Tell us the purpose of this. Why<em>now</em>?”
