Sentinels, built from the ground up.

((Obviously, assume this takes place after the Sentinel Beginnings thread.))
Sim Stood proudly near the entrance of the partially completed Sentinel Tower, welcoming recruits as they came in. Things had certainly taken another amazing turn for the dragonchild. After defeating the Black Cabal with the help of two other heroes, they banded together to form a group that could combat all of the organized villains. The Senator that they saved endorsed them fully, to the point of throwing thousands of dollars at them. The entire U.S. Government followed, giving them unreal amounts of money for operation under the condition they base themselves in the U.S. and recruit more heroes. It seems super-powered villains were both a serious problem and a hot political issues.

So it was that the government began building them a base of operations. It was only a few completed floors now, but eventually it would be a tower with communications equipment capable of picking up transmissions all over the world. Some agency of the government had helped with recruiting, singling out younger heroes who could pass a basic personality test. Some had proven themselves already against villains. Some were unknown. Sim worried bad seeds would have to be weeded out, but more than anything she was excited this noble project was happening, and she was such a big part of it.

The tower was being built on the water at San Francisco, California. The living quarters were already finished, so recruits would be given a place to stay. Sim stood with a smile on her face, greeting newcomers. A closed smile of course, no reason to scare anyone with her dagger-like teeth. Not that she appeared completely normal of course. Her eyes were like purple gemstones, and her long hair was a light blue. Besides that she appeared to be a normal girl of 14 or 15, except for her clothing. She had a navy bodysuit, covered by purple pants and a turtleneck jacket. Her hands were covered in black gloves with gold colored metal skeleton-ing the top. She waited anxiously at the door to welcome and evaluate those she would soon call comrades.

Jessica rode up to the building and stopped near a girl that was standing at the front door of the tall waterfront structure. She removed her helmet and held out her hand while saying,"Hi the names Jessica James also known as Lady Cyber. I got a letter stating that I should come to the coordinates of this building for some kinda team recruitment."She then got off her bike checked the coordinates on her touch screen computer to make sure she didn't come to the wrong building then went on inside and waited to be told where the living area was. She also hopped that the girl wouldn't mind if she brought her bike to her room, Jessica has trust issues when it comes to total strangers messing with her bike.

While she waited for a response from the girl she checked some of the diagnostics on her bike to make sure nothing was badly damaged or just about to act crazy later on in the months. When she finshed that she found a chair and sat over there waiting for more people to show up. It was then that she noticed the Great White Vader robot who had arrived before her and then noticed that he was actually a man and his robot companion. Jessica smirked at the sight of the two after thinking of what she was orignally going to do for her own robotic design. She then sighed and called out to the two saying,"Hey remeber me Vader Boy."

Aden walked up to the building he found by matching this place to the coordinates he found on the letter he got from a federal agent person a few weeks back. He then looked around and saw a girl standing at the front of the building greeting people who came in and he saw another girl who aparently liked working on machines because he saw what looked to be her motorcycle next to her. He also saw a man and what looked to be his robot companion floating next to him. "Hey everyone, names Aden, or Inferno if ya'll want to call me that."Aden said trying to get someone to notice him. This place was a lot bigger then it looked in the pixcture that came with his letter. After a few minutes Aden sat down in an empty chair to wait till something interesting started up.

Kayen walked toward the large building. He saw a girl at front greeting people. "Sup. The names Kayen. Kayen Red." He waited for the girl to respond as he checked out the area. He saw a guy standing next to a floating robot. He stared at him for a while curiosly then shrugged and found a place to sit down. He cracked his knuckles and stared at his feet wondering what these other people where all thinking about. What where their abilities. He sat thinking to himslef and waiting for someone to say something.

Why am I even giving this my time, thought the warrior prince from Kelnar as he zoomed over the sea of steel the city was below him. After putting a stop to the bank robbery when Maxiorus first arrived, the police on site informed him of like abled warriors that may be able to help him out. Upon looking into the group more, the warrior found it was just a group of children.

However this "Earth" was a foregin place and allies are always in short supply. If Prince Maxiorus stopped a few more villains from preying on the weak while he searched for a way home then he had done his duty as a warrior.

Changing his angle to come down in a sprial, Maxiorus righted himself for the ultimate show of arrival. The first presence to a new ally is all about appearance. The sun shined at his back as the warrior prince came from the sky, stopping a few feet above the ground. His white cape blew in the wind and the light shone of his gold armor of noble birth. With his arms crossed, Prince Maxiorus presented himself with what he hoped would be the full weight of his noble station. "I am Prince Maxiorus of the Planet Kelnar. I was informed by the milita in blue uniforms that your government is looking for powerful warriors in its defense. I have come to lend my services for the time being."

Kayen watched as a guy calling himself prince entered."Welcome your highness."he thought sarcastically. He summed up the other recruits an thought. "Aren't we a motley crew?

The first arrivals were a man and his robot, and another technology-friendly girl. She bowed to each in turn, smiling at Ozzi's comment about eyes, revealing a small portion of razor-sharp teeth. "I'm glad to see you two are skilled with such technology....I myself have no skill with computer systems." She spoke as if they were a foreign thing, which to her they truly were. They did not exist on her homeworld after all. It was a main difference she noted between her race and humans. Her people worked to achieved their maximum potential. Humans strove to redefine what their maximum potential was. They were born without wings, so they built dragons of steel to fly anywhere in the world at amazing heights. It was all at once inspiring, and frightening. It was the darker side of human ambition that had stolen her wings, and left scars on her mind and body after all.

"We will certainly need communications experts, especially once the tower rises to completion." As she spoke two others walked in and introduced themselves. "Greetings Sir Aden and Kayen, I am called Sim-" As she was greeting them she was interrupted by a rather boisterous individual in flambouyant garb. Sim was actually happy to hear his foreign origins though. It was someone she could sympathize with. She walked over to Max.


She excitingly gave him a shallow bow. "Greetings Prince, My name is Sim, and I think you shall find a friend here today, if a common hatchling can be so bold." She gave a big smile, showing off her long sharp teeth. She hoped the prince was somewhat down to earth, as unfitting a phrase that might be. "I am no royalty, but I do come from another world...one farther away than your home I am willing to place stakes. I certainly hope you join our little force. Though it seems to be growing rapidly."

Crosshairs walked up to the building that was described by the letter he recived not to long ago. When he walked in he saw a girl with special eyes, a girl that he thought recognized but didn't dwell on it, and a bunch of different guys. "Hello everyone names Crosshairs. That's about all I can tell ya'll considering that I don't rember much of anything from my past. So how is everyone?" He said to the people in the room as he looked around. He then went and sat down in a nerby chair, setting his ammo bag, Remington 870, and M14 down next to him. After this he took out his Glock 35s and unloaded them, checked to see that he a full magazine in each, then loaded the magazine's back into the guns. He then unsheathed his Last Resorts and looked down the blade all the way to the tip of each then checked the sharpness of each and sheathed them again.

Jessica notices the new guy that had entered the buildin complaex and her heart nearly skipped a beat. She knew exactly who the new person was and she grew a twinkle in her eye because of the knowledge. Jessica grew a look of happiness and over joy at the fact the new person here was her brother. She then straightened up and then got up and walked over to him. She then snickered a little but it quickly changed to a grim look after rembering the last time she saw him in person. She then had a quick flashback to the testing rooms, traing areas, terible food, drugs, and finally Tanner pointing a gun at her before killing off several men then taking her to a hospital. She quickly dispelled those thoughts from her mind and finally said to her brother,"Hey Tanner what happened to you. I haven't seen you for years. I began to worry that we would never see each other again." She then stod there and waited for a response from her long lost brother.

Max nodded and took the lady's hand as she did her shollow bowl, "I appericate the warm welcome my lady."

The woman had a different form to her. Of course she was humanoid in shape, but the way she moved would have told him that she was different to begin with. The way she did her hair, the way she dressed. it was welcoming to see someone was as different as he was. Maybe she would be able to help him assimulate into the earth culture till he found a way to return home.

He enter the tower, taking the center of the area. He let his presence fill the room. Never once did he touch the ground, but instead continued to hover a few feet above, his arms crossed.

Crosshairs looked up at the girl who seemed to be addressing him. He then listened to what she said as he tried to place her face. He knew he recognized her from somewhere but he couldn't figure out where. The look of concentration on his face made it clear that he knew who this girl was but just couldn't figure out where he knew her from. He continued to try and remember her when a flash of memories came into his head.

((Memory time)): 'Crosshairs saw himself as a little kid in a yard. A man was with him and he was shooting a gun. Flash forward, Hospital room, Same man talking with a doctor, Argument breaks out Man takes Crosshairs back to a house. Crosshairs takes the girl he was trying to remember to a room, They talk. Flash forward, Training facility beatings,Tests, Drugs, Large room, Men all around armed. Same girl. Gun in hand pointed at her. Shots fired. Men dead, Crosshairs runs off with girl. Hospital, Crosshairs says something. He leaves, Black.'((Memory over))

Crosshairs shakes his head after what he saw then remebers the girl standing in front of him. " Oh sorry, Uh who are you again. I can't remember anything. And why did you call me Tanner?" He answeres

Kayen looked at a boy who looked a little older than him who was fidgeting with some dangerous looking guns.
Kayen stood up tired of sitting down said out loud " So what can you guys do? By do I mean what are your......powers? I am nearly indestructible." he said "Plus I can lift about 1000 pds and have above average speed." What can you guys do?"

Jessica ignored the other kid who asked what everyone here could do and stared at Tanner's(Crosshairs) face."What do you mean who am I. How can you not remember me. I'm your sister damm it. Quit acting stupid how can you not remember me?" She asked while raising her voice at him. She grew hints of anger in her voice because here she was staring at her brother who she had been searching for almost a year now and he was acting like she was a stranger from down the road. She continued to stare at him while waiting for some kind of answer to come from him. She continued to wait for a response from him and the decided to agnolage her future team mate and answered the other kids question saying,"I've got Super Intellegence and then this," and after that pressed the secret buttons on her accesories releasing her robotic arm, leg, and head armor. She then pressed the same buttons again and stood there facing her brother as the armor changed back into their not so secret forms. She then grew anger in her voice again and yelled at her brother again asking him,"Well are you even going to say anything?!"

Kayen looked on in suprise as one girl turned half of her body into a robot than started yelling at one of the other recruits. "Umm....O.k well um cool." He then turned to them and said "Check this out." He picked a steel lamp and as hard as he could smashed it against his skull. It should have broken his skull but the steel lamp snapped in half. "So what can you all do? he said pointing to the other recruits.
