Birds of Prey

I'm part of a team!  This is a real step in the direction of being a superhero.  A woman Diana knows, calling herself Oracle is putting together a new hero team.  Apparently, she prefers all female hero teams, which does seem the most prudent way to go.  She is calling her team the Birds of Prey, and she would like me to join.  She does have an agenda, of course.  I won't share it, but it doesn't seem objectionable.  And just because she has an agenda for us doesn't mean that is all we are going to do.  But, as I said, Diana trusts her, and I suppose I'll see for myself if she can be trusted.  So, my teammates!

Gekko - She will be the veteran of the group.  I'm told she's been active for a while, but I can't find a whole lot of information about her.  She is a sneaky, martial artist type, and she's pretty good.  She's a little older than I am, and she likes to go out on the town.

Haze - Honestly, I don't know if this post will take.  She seems to have some kind of ability to make people forget about her.  I'm sure that ability extends to cyberspace, but, hey, we'll see.  Haze will be handling transportation for the group, and seems like she is new to the hero game.  Her abilites, like her, are a mystery.

Octive - The last member of our group is, well, she's new to the area, let's say.  Apparently, she's been off planet for a while, and in the care of the Green Lantern Corp.  She isn't a lantern, and she seem's reluctant to talk about her time off planet.  I think she isn't exactly proud of some of the things she's done while she was away.  I was on monitor duty at the JLA headquarters the day she arrived on planet, and Black Canary asked me to look after the new arrival.  So, I have been.  She has some neat sonic powers.

So, as a tryout/test, we got to fight Wonder Woman!  And, she kicked our asses.  Diana is a great fighter, and has been doing this a long time.  I was happy I got in one good lick that she wasn't expecting.  She had me caught in that lasso, and was using it to whip me around like a tether ball.  It was only fair to return the favor. I grabbed the rope, and raced at a high rate of speed toward the wall.  I turned at the last minute, and slammed Diana at a high rate of speed into the wall.  It was great.  I didn't matter much, in the long term, though, as she took us all out.  We've all been training together, and getting to know each other.  We are making plans to go out at some point.  We'll see how that goes.  

More next time...
