Freeman Jr. (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=309416.msg15031779#msg150317792)<br/><strong>WEARING:</strong>Costume (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d4/Icon-3.jpg)<br/><strong>DAY:</strong>August 21, 2020<br/><strong>TIME:</strong>Mid morning till 11:20+ (No CPT)<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>Farm to -->Secret Sanctuary, Happy Harbor<br/><strong>CONTENT:</strong>(Not sure where I fit in...these people are cray cray!)<br/><strong>MOOD MUSIC:</strong>Let's Go - Trick Daddy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeHJJaIV3t0j)<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>OPEN[/b]<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Gus finds the woman that spoke to him more than nice on the eyes.<br/><br/><strong>“Well No? And even if I didn’t want to be bothered, that wouldn’t apply to you. But with Mr. Octopus over there I figured your dance card was full. Been to Dakota city a few times. And I would never crush you, Raquel.”</strong>He smirked doing his best not to blush at her smile.<br/><br/><strong>“Would love to speak with you again but…”</strong>He noticed that rich boy wonder didn’t even speak to him, just shook his hand. He shrugged it off as part for the course, among those people that seemed to think they were better than others for one reason or another. Maybe he thought he came to take Raquel from him.<em> ‘Yeah, I wish…only if she wants to be taken though.’ </em>He shook that fantasy away as quickly as it had come.<br/><br/>He turned only to respond to Ronnie Raymond, he looked at him confused. The guy seemed to give off energy or a glow even to Gus’s eyes, almost on a sub-molecular level. He couldn’t see that far, but it was like some sort of energy glue all over him. The other black guy in the killer suit looked the same.<strong>“I am not sure they will have you do that, but even so I don’t think you would have too many problems with it. I am Gus by the way. Nice to meet you. The dude with the flaming hair…Firestorm…that’s you?!? Pretty impressive for sure.”</strong>He said reaching out a hand. He meant to go talk to a few others but was stopped and he caught himself looking back at Rocket admiring from afar.<br/><br/>It was when the brunette showed up that he was taken aback a bit, but her cold and aloof greeting, but it didn’t matter he didn’t expect much from some, maybe it was just him. But it was going to take a bit for him to truly get used to this group and everyone’s personalities. He still hadn’t forgotten about Lord, looking him up and down like he wanted some. He was not in the mood but he didn’t expect for anything to happen, it had been a while since he had been mean mugged. It would take some getting used to as well.<br/><br/>Seems everyone knew someone here, he was the odd man out, besides Kara and Raven even they were trying to fit in. It was life after all and everyone simply had to just find their place on the rung. He was sure this would be over in a while and he could get out of here. He still felt his father’s letter in his pocket. He looked over at the Lords of Power and wondered with this group how they were going to handle everyone, some were just used to doing their own thing like him.<br/><br/>He looked over at those that would have been his heroes...he was shocked.<br/><br/>Surprised at their conversation, that he could actually hear. He did his best not to stare, but Superman was glad that he was here? And Batman was complimenting him?!? He shook his head as if he were getting bad signal reception, but he knew what he heard...they didn't come to Dakota City because they thought he had things in hand? The two members of the Trinity...thought he was capable. Which suddenly made him feel very small for all of the bad things he said about them. In truth the real issue was...they thought more of him...than he thought of himself.  He almost didn't come cause he didn't think he was worthy or ready, but they thought he should be here, which made him wonder which of the three of them was the craziest.<br/><br/><br/><em>‘I may have been able to handle things, but their presence might have gone a long way.’ </em>He thought but moved a bit more, trying to piece all of this together.<br/><br/>He looked around as Static came by and he nodded to him. The fist bump was quite welcome.<strong>"You got skills man and brains to match."</strong>He was slowly starting to think about sticking around. His eyes still scanned back at the guy that thought he was Lord. Then when the brunette stopped at the bed with Lord and the dude that looked like he had a barren field of...yeah that he wasn't wanting to be here. He shrugged only to turn around not looking at Raquel's direction even though he wanted too. He shook hands with Prince Brion who was following after her highness. He didn't even know who that was, did she even give her name?!? Huntress. He chuckled she was right though Rocket was damn fine!<br/><br/><strong>"No, I am looking forward to seeing what we can do together Brion, any chance you could make me a Knight?"</strong>He said teasing but only partially. He didn't have the ego to be a Baron or Marquis, but he always saw himself as a knight even growing up. Deep down he wanted to be batman...ok maybe a bat superman? But now he was his own person and still finding himself, so he had been all over saving who knew how many anymore and yet in this group, he felt like just another guy.<br/><br/>Then the water titan walked in. He looked like Aquaman's son...if Aquaman cheated on his wife with a black woman. He thought he was big but damn!<em> 'Ok so might be nice being in this group after all.'</em>He thought but he hadn't agreed to stay yet. But it was partly cloudy so far so there was a chance he wasn't going home, he did have a bag of clothes after all so who knew.<br/><br/>He was moving slowly then facing Mari, she was…well she WAS!! He did his best to continue speaking as he shook her hand. His smile was genuine as he did admire her and being from Africa that alone gave her more clout to him. He shook Jennifer’s hand and smiled.<br/><br/><strong>"I am Augusus, but I go by Gus.  Thank you Mari.  Don't worry Jennifer.  I don't bite."</strong>He thought he was shy, but he backed up a bit feeling like he was interrupting the sister act. Yeah, they were tight for sure. Then Mari spoke up wanting to know when the Q&A would begin.<em> ‘Wow, that was bold!?! Not that I blame her, the sooner they began the sooner the real question would be asked or answered…was he staying?’ </em>He was more impressed.<br/><br/>All kidding aside, that was the real question, right? Everyone was here, invited but who was staying and who was going? The fate of the world hung with them. They would be the B-team of sorts and could they live together and not kill one another to be a cohesive team. Shucks so many personalities, who knew.  He glanced around the room and over at Raquel once more.<em> ‘Maybe?!?’</em>
