"You´re a smart kid, especially if the reason you want to join us is really changing the world rather than trying to look cool. And that´s why i want you to stay out of Trouble from now. You have to go back to School, Show your fellow students what´s wrong around here, make them realize that things can be different, Revolution is always about Change, Show them that this one is Long overdue, that they can make a difference, that WE WILL make a difference. I´m about to talk to the press, i want you to spread the word before that, i want everyone to know that we are not Monsters, but rather the first ones in a thousand years that are against Celestias rule. Can you do that? Can you put together your own Revolution, a peaceful Revolution? Do the Street Sharks have the power to Change the world?"
"Yes, we do..."
"I CAN`T HEAR YOU!"
"YES, WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!"
"Good, now go out there, stay out of Trouble so they have no excuse and do it!"
"Yes sir. Thank you, sir."
"I told you he was cool."
"Yeah, like, the Kind of guy you read about in superhero Comics!"
the last comment you caught as they left, soured your mood just a tiny bit.
"Gene, Gleaming, be honest, am i a cliché superhero?"
"Hmm," Gleaming pondered this for a few seconds, "nah, you lack the hot marefriend, and the boyscout attitude,unless you´d settle for me..."
Gah, why do Mares insist on stroking your chin with their tails, their greasy, soot covered tails that still smelled faintly of vanilla and- SNAP OUT OF IT THUNDER.
Gene graciouslysaves you from further embarassing yourself by giving his opinion
"Of course, back Story considered and with the grudge against all that is Equestria you´re well underway to becoming a supervillain."... Memo to myself, when you got 5 minutes hang Splicer on the nearest clothesline, tail over head that is.
"Alright, the Punks are on their way out, Hulk, did they see anything pointing to our cover identity?"
"No, they approached Blitz and she led them here directly before fetching me and the Boys"
"Okay, then we should get outta here now."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that that was settled you took a Moment to Review what you got together at this Point.
After your escape from Cloud Haven and the regathering of your Inmates in the Cover of a Delivery Company a few specimen of the local crime life joined up, earth ponies unicorns, mostly burglars, smugglers and the odd pickpocket.
Speaking of which:"Pickpocket! I know you have kleptomania, but stop stealing my mask off my face!"
That aside, Gene contacted a few old friends and indeed a Crew of five scientists soon took up positions in his lab, Nurse Coldheart meanwhile took the liberty of visiting her old workplace in ponyville, she took half your Boys and raided it completely, the poor night guard was since then forever scared of nurses... You didn´t want to ask why.
Gleaming set up her forge, along with giving you a thank you kiss for getting her such great materials. The new Equipment was doing its Job excellently and you had definitely gained her favor... maybe later you could arrange for getting your suit refitted... ah what the hell, just fess up and talk to her.
And now, since last night you had a potential ally in Princess Luna and even better, the students and adolescents saw a hero in you.
Time to live up to it, you had to arrange for an interview, best somewhere secluded outside of manehattan, the Reporter would get an assurance of safety, of course only together with a blindfold. They would definitely leap at a Chance of getting the once in Discords lifetime opportunity to speak about the bad guys Point of view.
The only question was, which Company to Approach:
Metro-News was well known and could reach everyone, but they were also under the Mayors hoof, you didn´t know what that Mare would do to your Story, maybe she was a friend of Change?
Then there was Imagen; almost as big but only interested in getting their scandals as gorily detailed as possible, but still read by many, huh.
Finally, the free press of New Yoke, not as big as the other two but they are known for their brutal honesty, if you want a Reporter that isn´t afraid to ask uncomfortable questions and will Quote your every breath accurately they were your choice.
