Nyx whips out his cell phone and dials up the "Doorman," Looking towards the police officer he says, "Just a sec, it's a newly formed organization."

With a straight face, Javier adds, "Yeah, you know how working in the government is; the paperwork takes forever to clear. I had a letter from the Director but I think I left it in my Spandex tights."

"Do you understand the concept of laying low?" the Doorman begins.

"Didn't have much of a choice. Anyway, the captain here wants to verify who we work for. What do we need to do?" Nyx tries to not sound panicked.

"Shoo him away."

"If you don't want to drown the next time you sit on the toilet, you'll make yourself useful a-hole."

The Doorman laughs dismissively. "Tell him to call Agent Abrams at the Las Vegas FBI center, he'll give him the contact information for your director."

"Ok. And who's our director?" Nyx whispers.

The Doorman laughs again in his grating, nassally way.

"You better not * us," Nyx says, a bit too loud.

"F you."

"F you too," replies Nyx, then hangs up, only to find Captain Mitchell staring at him with a cold stare.

"That was your boss?"

"Um, yep! He said to call Agent Abrams at the Las Vegas FBI office, he'd be able to give you the contact info."

"Right," he replies blandly, flips out his cell phone, and calls the FBI office.

You all try to not look too nervous...

After a brief conversation with who you guess is Agent Abrams, Capt Marshall dials another number he'd written on a notepad. He steps away and holds a prolonged conversation with someone and is obviously agitated. After ten minutes, he hangs up and returns to you all.

"Well, now what?" he asks, an edge in his voice. At least he doesn't have a gun in his hands anymore, so that's a good sign you figure.

"We're leaving, looks like you've got things well in hand captain. You've got our number if you need us," one of you replies.

The captain makes no move to stop any of you.

It's up to you guys what you do for the next few days or weeks (if you get involved with something that takes that long.) Let's continue "down time" postings on this thread, hopefully it won't get too confusing. So let me know what the novas will be up to!

Oh, if there's anything someone wants to talk about with the captain, feel free to continue, you don't have to leave the scene.

"Captain," Fenris starts, "where did you get those bullets that returned that nova to human? Did it take away his powers or just put him unconscious?"

The Rockman didn't fall unconscious from the shot, sorry if I implied he did.

The blue-eyed cop pats the shoulder holster. "A gift from the NHSC. No one was sure if it would work. They figured with all the excitement around here, I'd get a chance to test it.

"As to how it works," he shrugs his shoulders. "I was told it would turn folks like you off. Works pretty well, don't you think big fella?"

"Can you tell me who provided them to you?" Fenris asks. "Some of us, don't want to be nova's."

For the first time you see the captain's expression soften just a bit, if only for a moment. He nods and say, "I'll talk to them."

"When and how should I contact you about it?" Fenris asks. "I don't have an address."

He pulls out a card, Horizon City P.D., Captain Marshall, etc. and hands it to Fenris.

"Call me tomorrow, my number's on the bottom. I'm sure they will want to know how their device worked so I'll have a chance to talk to them later today I'm sure. I'll see what they have to offer, I promise."

"So this is the new evolution of "The war" on the world..." exclaims Nycto as he hears Captain Marshalls explanation, some of the hidden bitterness showing in his words.

"Novas are the new high tech weapons in the world, as we heard from Afganistam... And will be central in the escalation, in the world and in the streets.
Now, anti-nova weapons, Nova protectors and all sort of stuff will be made. I never thought to be in this position again."

Seeing nothing left to do but cleaning up, Javier takes his leave.

"Don' know about'chu guys, but I got places to be and people to do, y'know?" he announces. "Hey, Marshall Earp, great workin' wit'cha. Guys, see ya on the flip side."

He makes his way down the street in casual urgency. He's allergic to cops and he's worried that if he hangs around them too long, he might catch something, like a nickel at the Penitentiary.

His time in the next few days is spent making sure his homies are safe and finding out all he can about Smalls' operation.

"Thanks." Fenris replies to the Captain and turns toward the team.

"Later Javi. Call me if you need any muscle." Fenris waves to the firestorm.

"Uh Nycto. Can I crash at your place until I get something more permanent?" Fenris asks as un-intimidatingly as possible. "I would appreciate it."

//In the end it seems we're legit...as long as that 'Agent Abrams' can cover us...Which means, next time I'll kick some * I won't have to flee if the law crashes the party...Good to know...//
He frowns when he hears Fenris considering Marshall's weapon as a cure.
Fenris's life would be much easier if he could switch off his powers and feral shape at will.
Overdrive was not sure, but he supposed that Fenris had to walk away from his close relatives.
He cracked a sad smile of compassion and wondered if Susan could ask him to give up his powers.
If those weapons became common, being a nova could be pointless.
Bravery would turn in stupidity with a de-powered Harrison rushing at a an army of goons, guns blazing....

//Forget it...You're fantasizing...//

"I hope that's all for tonight, boys. I'm off to bed" Overdrive says before stretching out

The next days will be peaceful for Harrison. But he'll try to know what gone wrong with the bots (by asking the doorman one way or another)
