Changes

I've been taking more and more of Wonder Woman's social calendar on to allow her to do more hero stuff.  I have the time, and, frankly, she is more needed than I am out there.  I barely sleep these days, thanks to the blessings of the Alpha Wave.  So, I've been attending meetings, speaking with people, raising money & support for my basketball event and other organizations in the world that need help, and just generally being around and acting as a liaison between the superhero and diplomatic worlds.  One of them anyway.  The diplomats are getting used to me.  I'm a lot blunter than Wonder Woman.  I think sometimes, though, that can help.  I'm inexperienced, so people can forgive me a little more readily than another, and sometimes the blunt truths I speak cut through the diplo-speak and allow more progress.  Sometimes its just me spouting my frustration, but I think I'm doing more good than harm.

The Birds of Prey have taken the field again.  We were alerted that Scandal Savage and the Family Faust had been buying and kidnapping metahuman children and set up a "school", better known as a training and indoctrination compound, to raise an army of metahumans loyal to them.  Not just to help them control their powers, but to literally have an army of metahumans in the future.  And they aren't the only ones.  We also heard that there were similar camps in Germany, China, and another near Gotham (looking at you, Batman) somewhere, right under our noses.  I guess I didn't realize that the Alpha & Omega waves effected many more children than adults.  Some of the people who had sold their children told me one of the reasons they accepted the offer was that their child couldn't control their powers.  One couple told me their child had almost burned the house down twice.  This problem has not cropped up very often, and the legitimate authorities have been slow to respond, understandably, given the events of the last few months, or are reacting the wrong way (looking at you, China).  Anyway, we found the school, and rescued the kids, but are now left with what to do with them.

Oh.  That is....  Wasn't Sydney telling me about....  I gotta go.  This could be awesome!

Bye!
