(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozv4q2ov3Mk)<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong><strong>OPEN</strong><br/><hr/><br/>Jackson looked over at the bed, he could guess who that was, by the walk of the man in tux and tails.<em>'Seems there is one in every bunch.'</em><br/>He noticed the giant of a man that was evicted from the bed space. It made him wonder had he been invited to sit down in the first place. He was nothing if not observant it was how he was trained. He wasn’t full mage in training anymore, he knew magic, he wasn’t wizard extreme but he was not without some skills of his own.<br/><br/>He stood there as he was about to talk to Mari and her friend Jennifer he remembered her name being called. He had to clear the air between them, he knew full well Mari might see his presence as trying to take her place, but he wasn’t here for that!  He was here on his own and Mera would vouch for him to be here instead.<br/><br/>He noticed Brion ruler in his own right. He recognized him but he moved away before Jackson could reach him. He was sure he would catch up to him later since he seemed to be running after the high strung one. His eyes narrowed as he looked at her, from his own intel she was called Huntress?<br/><br/>He moved over to Mari.<strong>“Good evening my lady. It is a pleasure to see you again.”</strong>He said letting her push or pull at her choice, however she saw him, he would react to her. He would take that however, he had nothing against her and actually liked her but when the three of them were with Arthur she was a bit standoffish then.  But still, he offered his hand to her.<br/><br/><strong>“This is your friend? Hi I am Jackson and you are Jennifer from what I hear.”</strong>He took her hand if offered and kissed it.<strong>“It is my pleasure I assure you.”</strong>He said open for any conversation she or the other would offer to appear both welcoming and open, even as he looked at her he couldn't help but to drink her in.<br/><br/>He turned to Jason to shake his hand as well after being offered.<strong>“Firestorm, sorry you are Jason. My apologies it is a pleasure to meet you, you are truly an anomaly I would like to get to know. For more personal reasons honestly. Your abilities offer lots of information and practical uses. Not to shop talk, but perhaps later.” </strong>He pats his shoulder.<br/><br/>He moved to reach out to Icon but was stopped when Mari spoke up about their presence there.<br/><br/>It was truly a valid question, but then the magic one spoke up. Seems someone didn’t want to be here and his egotistical self simply wanted to be heard. He knew full well why King Arthur was not fond of the surface dwellers with no sense of decorum or manners it seems.<br/><br/>He is all about self. If they thought he could do it alone, then this quorum wouldn’t have been called in the first place. Interestingly, he thinks he can accomplish all things on his own. Doesn’t seem like the type of person that would have been raised by Zatara with his manners all but oozing off of him.<br/><br/>Jackson leaned back and listened to the group of Elders.<br/><br/>He listened to those that were in leadership, they were seeking something? It was something this group could provide. Despite what some of those here thought, the second guard was needed.  He was listening as they all spoke, then he listened to Superman (Clark) speak and he was talking he was looking at Icon, the other dark-skinned woman and Static specifically. He wondered why for a second? But it was something he would ponder until he came up with a solution, or asked.<br/><br/>He did his best not to laugh at his King! But he was right. It wasn’t about just one person trying to make a difference. Everyone had come with their ideas and agendas and it seems some were open to trying to make a difference as a group and some weren’t. Despite what any one of them thought all of them were needed whether they believed so or not. The chuckle still came forth, from him so he covered his mouth to hold back his smile.<br/><br/>It was a shame that the woman always had to be the voice of wisdom, but never the less he was more than grateful for her presence. Some voice of reason that could appeal to most of those here, he had given up his crush on the Princess long ago.<br/><br/>Jackson stood where he was. He had made the trip, but even he wondered who was going to take first to step out of the door.  He wasn't leaving though.<br/><br/>Huntress chimed in as did Brion. Then with the arrival of Courtney, he shook his head.<strong> “Glad to have you, Courtney. Since you just arrived I am going to assume you are staying? Otherwise, you have 1 minute and 30 seconds to vacate. I shall be remaining.” </strong>He said as he was looking at his King realizing the man would have been extremely insulted to have his Padawan come all the way here to embarrass him in public. Nothing could be further from the truth.<br/><br/>Even now he was still waiting for someone else to leave but as he looked around the one called Gus looked like he was squirming as if he was really considering bolting. He was close enough to grab him, but even still he couldn’t make him stay…but if he tried to leave he could talk to him for sure. Those within these walls right now were the new guard and the fact that they had been invited meant that those on that stage saw each of them as necessary…even the ones that thought…they weren’t.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
