The rise of the Celebero (a heros eye view of the world we live) All are welcome

"Clearly we have to deal with that guy who sicked those android contraptions on us. It is obvious he was planning something else while distracting us," Daark stated very seriously, honestly it was the most serious Black had seen him be in the short time they knew each other.

"Well yes that would seem like the most practical plan but do we have any idea where to start? I mean unless we know where he is or what he was planning we have really hit a dead end haven't we." Pulled off his masks and hung his head rubbing the bridge of his nose with his thumb and index finger. His hair draped over his face when he brought his head back up pushing to the side he tried to come up with some kind of plan that they could start with.

"We should check to see if any other crimes were committed while we were fighting those mechs. Maybe we will get lucky maybe find a lead that might point us in the right direction, or at least get some kind of idea what he is planning." Black looked to the other heroes quizzically, they both looked back at him without saying a word. "Well I guess that seems like the best place to start, what do you think" Black gestured to Freerunner.

Freerunner looked at BlackOut, taking in his facial features. "I was going to say that if we all kept anonymous than we couldn't ever be compromised as to each others real identities. However, it does make things more personal and in a way, less compromising, now I know what you look like, I'll be able to tell if someone impersonates you."

Darrk shrugged his shoulders and BlackOut remeained motionless, both looking at Freerunner expecting him to remove his helmet mask. But he didn't.

Freerunner took two powerful steps forward looked back at Darrk and BlackOut, "to add to BlackOut's suggestion, we simply have to wait for him to come to us. This is an enemy we know nothing about, apart from that he uses machines instead of humans. So lets go looking for trouble and see what we turn up. Sometimes thats the best way to generate some intelligence on your enemy. Kick the hornets nest, smash them apart and then take names when the smoke clears."

BlackOut and Darrk both nodded quite pleased due to the fact that they would get to go and make trouble for the trouble makers instead of waiting for it to happen. "We'll start randomly arranging meeting points for each night. That way we won't get caught out, this is until we can establish a base of operations, preferably very small or mobile. If we keep on the move then we can stay one step ahead of our enemy" added Freerunner.

"Whats our limit? Do we take it to death or do we not kill?" said Darrk.

"In my experience, before I started living this life, I stopped the bad guys by killing them. I took a life to save a life, thats how I justified it to myself. If someone is too dangerous to be kept alive then so be it, I'll have no problem taking them out. I will however exhaust every other option available to me at the time before i use lethal force" said Freerunner, his voice growing quieter.

"What did you used to do then?" said Darrk, intrigued by Freerunner's sudden open burst of honesty.

"We'll discuss that another time, now we fight the bad guys where ever they are. And I have a feeling we'll be hearing back from this 'Deceiver' really soon....." replied Freerunner.

BlackOut, Darrk and Freerunner walked in unison to the ledge overlooking West 33rd street. A new force had risen up to take on evil wherever it manifested itself. The big question that remained, was evil ready for the fight coming its way?

(I'm starting a new thread for this unlikely team to face off against the librarian consider this story over unless Deciever posts something new)
