Welcome to Gaia! ::

From her apartment in Seattle, Miss Avery could see the expansive network of streets and buildings that brought life to it's city at night. It wasn't a bad view from the couch she threw herself against and for five minutes, at least she could unwind before the arduous process of dealing with corporate America started all over again.

Her home was expansive, yes, but it was a stark contrast to the tower and manor she'd lived in before. She's sold her mansion and left the tower for a good cause, but this place was cold and empty. It didn't feel like home.

For all her hard work, the dream she had was starting to come into sight. Well, it was... until a recent string of disappearances.

She sighed, resting for a moment before her phone rang again. She tiredly picked it up off the table, pressed a button, and put the phone to her cheek," Miss Avery speaking..."

"Yes, I'm aware..."

Mel sat up, lowering her head and ran her free hand through her hair," We'll do what we can until then. Get everyone you can that isn't busy on it. At all costs, we need to keep the project going."

With those woods, she pushed herself up and walked over to close the blinds," I can't. It looks like I have my hands full. "

"Well, keep me posted. I'll do what I can when I find the time. See you then," she replied, hanging up as she put the device away.

Recent events involving the Mongol meant she'd need to make her return to heroism a lot earlier. She'd at least hoped her pet project was further along before she donned the suit again," So much for getting some sleep..."

He listened closely to all she had to say and it was a bombshell..Mongul was back! This was no minor threat. This guy was major problem. He sought nothing but power and conquest, the subjugation of any world he came across and the planet earth was always number one on his list! Furious then mentally told his power ring to search all the Earth's media broadcasts and mentally relay them back to him His eyes closed as the information was relayed back to him and after a few moments he opened them back up. His face showed the realization of the danger that faced the planet! "Hmm, Well I know one League member I can contact and maybe a few others. First things first, I need to see if hal Jordan, or any other Green Lantern Corps members are on Earth. Ring scan for other green lantern energy signatures in sector 2814.

His power ring blinked as it searched and after a moment is replied "Furious, I am not picking up any readings of any other Green Lantern Corps members but..I am picking up a very familiar energy source similar to my own. That's odd..but still it seems to be exactly like where the source of my power comes from. Would you like me to contact it?" replied his power ring and what Furious did not know was that his ring was not telling him the whole truth about the connection it sensed

Furious then arched an eyebrow and said "No not yet,soon, but first i need to contact League members. Open all old channels and see who responds." he then turned to back to Taniyah saying "And as for Us Little Sister? We are going to head to the Metropolis to seek out an old friend!"

Melissa took a quick pace, weaving through the corridors of the apartment until she reached the guest room. The guest room itself wasn't important. She was headed for the walk-in closet. Within, the bars for holding clothes lay bare, but the closet was lavish and its floor carpeted.

This helped keep the pressure points in the floor covered. When she dug the high heel of her shoe into the first, an iron door came down behind her and the wooden door in slammed shut.

To the discerning eye, this was a panic room, but there was a lot more to it than that! Eliza slipped out of the heeled shoe in the floor and dug the second shoe's heel into the floor of the shoe cubby, slipping it off and stepping to the middle of the room as the faced covering everything came down and sank into the floor, revealing the old suit, the new one for when she re-debuted, and a number of other things from past ventures.

There were gadgets both from her days as a Titan and special orders she used in emergencies. Among these was a small, round item with the T logo that she still possessed to this day and the earrings from her time in the League.

Melissa, formerly Eliza Star, ran her hand along the Titans communicator and smiled. Oh how she missed those days! Such nostalgia, but now wasn't the time to be marveling. She hit a button, removed the glass case, and wasted no time putting on the new suit before reaching for the earrings," Here goes everything, I guess..."

The woman quickly put on the earrings and hit the receiver button that would begin her journey as a hero again.

In truth, it didn't take a news cast to see what was going on, she could feel it in her very being, the energy that was building, coming ever closer. It only made her more eager to use her power: the energy she'd pent up for years, for a very special occasion," Let's hope this old thing still works..."

Next, was the transmission button...

Oliver would flip up on his hood onto his head. He glanced at Batman then. "We need to start moving. We can't stay here long. People are bound to start panicking. And usually when that happens the crime numbers start to rise. Maybe you could call in one of your partners." Green Arrow gestured toward him.

"It's Atom. I'm here."

"Yeah, we're here," Ollie responded. He recognized the voice of Ray Palmer at the other end, going over to his laptop he'd enter in some commands before the entrance way would open and give way for the Atom to come inside. "It's nice to see you again Ray." Given their history it probably would've been weird to hear that from Oliver. Especially since Ray hadn't been around him much to see his new attitude that didn't fall into the category of brooding and such.

He even graced him with a smile and offered out his hand.

drake rubbed his neck and stood up, he fixed his glasses, tie, and shirt in one smooth motion. he looked around the room and smiled this seemed all too familiar "listen brov my mission here is to observe the so called "meta" humans that the people of this country call heroes. what we plan to do is study them and learn how to counteract them. from what i know about you Governor is that you've been doing that for years." drake showed a symbol on his shoulder armor "im a knight, yes those kind. the queen has kept an underground network of highly trained agents like myself to defend the country, kind of like james bond but real. my name is drake rayner and im on the verge of taking the name Galahad like my father and grandfather. now you know me and the real me at that, i've already broken my first and basically only rule....." he took his glasses off and put them in his vest "...ive got nothing left to hide other then a plan mate." drake pulled out a small device from his pocket that looked like an old PDA "you share some data with me and we team up and make things to fight, as far as im concerned why make those aliens and psychopaths look like heroes? its people like you, here on the ground not afraid to show their faces that should be the ones these people praise, not some bell-end in tights." drake just stood there and put his hands in his pocket, either he got through or he was about to be shot at. he figured he could get out with an EMP blast and some fancy flips but all that would do is keep him alive for a very small amount of time and make him an enemy of the only person he believed could handle the situation, not to mention without his car he would be going nowhere.

The corridor inside was short thankfully. Making his way inside, he stepped slowly, making sure he wasn't up for a full body scan on the way in. He paused, stepping into the main room to admire the sleek interior. Ray had been filled in on the events that ensued after his brief departure. A seemingly new Oliver took place of the old one, this was evident in his greeting. "Good to see you too, Oliver. Batman, and I don't believe we've met." He'd say concerning the woman. A greeting for Batman was wise to be kept brief and to the point. He shook Oliver's hand, stepping back to take off his helmet. Tucking it under his arm, he looked at the three. Having a past encounter with only Green Arrow and Batman, he questioned to himself who this woman was. She resembled a lot of the Black Canary. "Well, am I the last one? If so, what's the plan of defense?"

Sara's eyebrow rose up slightly above her mask, as she did her best not to smirk as to how fast the first name basis shifted to code name in nanoseconds as soon as Ray Palmer made entry into the room. She approached Ray offering her gloved hand to shake his, "It's a pleasure, Mr. Ray Palmer, I'm Sara Lance. They call me Ta-Er Al-Sahfer. It means, the Canary." Smiling pleasantly at Mr. Palmer as the two of them greeted for the first time. Her blue eyes sparkled from behind the mask of black, before glancing away from Mr. Palmer over towards Batman and Oliver, "I concur, moving with haste would be wise before panic rises. I'm sure we are all aware of what happens when riots occur during times of crisis."
