Vermillion arrived in Chicago Sunday night at 7:02PM. He had to attend some sort of meeting here in the city the next day because he was a senator. Alex had of course come with him and his 'important' luggage sent ahead of time. The two rented a car and drove to pick up their luggage. The transporter had unfortunately charged quite the steep fee to transport what they had.
While Alex drove them around, Vermillion was sifting through reports he had requested from some of his 'friends' out here. He was getting to the end of the reports and was about to tell Alex to just take them to the hotel, when he came across and article of this up and coming hero. As he continued to read, it turned out that this individual was not a hero. He had seen aiding different forces that were not always for the greater good. Reports stated that his skills were quite impressive and would be recommended. The man's name was Jack Maroon. With that, Vermillion had a twisted idea. He sent out a message to all of his contacts in Chicago telling them to start a whisper about Jack Marron, something about how someone with a lot of power wishes to contact him. If this man was smart, he would instantly think of all the government officials that were in town for the meeting.
"Alex, let us go to the hotel now. I am going to have to extend my stay."
The next twenty four hours continued uneventfully. Vermillion extended his stay in Chicago for a couple more days, planning on leaving on a night flight on Wednesday back to California. Hopefully, the whisper would get around to this Jack character. Vermillion wanted to meet him Tuesday night but still trying to figure out how to get the message to him. Monday night he spent quite a few hours contacting people throughout Chicago trying to get this individuals picture. After he obtained an image he could find him in the city and get him the message about meeting. Surprisingly, the result came up quicker than he expected. He distributed the image out to ever last one of his contacts along with instructions and a message that said.
"Jack Marron, meet back at this very location at exactly 11:56PM Tuesday night. A powerful individual has a proposition for you and will not hesitate to alter your destiny if you fail to arrive at the specified time. Compliance with the offer is optional."
Instructions were; once Jack is found A)If in a crowded place, move to a less populated and/or vacant, poorly lit area, B) Show no hostility, do not reveal any information about yourself, DO NOT engage in combat, and after the message is administered flee the scene without any traces.
Vermillion would show up in his full disguise Alex accompanying. However, his bodyguard would be in the shadows and some of his other contacts lurking just in case things got out of hand at all...

"Hello Jack, thank you very much for showing." said Vermillion as he emerged from the shadows. "Allow me to start by being honest with you, the whole alter your destiny bit in the message was just something I came up with off the top of my head. I probably would not have looked into this any further and would have simply taken my business else where."
Vermillion's bodyguard, Alex, followed closely behind. He did not plan for anything to break out but no one could predict the future. The senator was in his full disguise but for the moment had a hood concealing his mask and a device that simply altered his voice.
"As you have heard, I am a powerful individual. However my power lies out side of this world of monsters and magic. I deal rather closely with the more human parts of the population.."
Hopefully this Jack understood what he was trying to say by now.
"Because of my position, you will know me as Zarkovich. I know you have a special set of abilities and I wish to use these abilities greatly to my advantage. See, there are many a people in this world that do not like me for I have been around long enough to piss off a civilization or two. I would need you as my all seeing eye."
There was a pause for a moment and Vermillion stepped forward taking his hood off.
"My bodyguard, Alex, who is also my brother stays close to me keeping me protected in plain sight. I would need you to be the stealth. Someone where if me and Alex were separated you would still be lurking somewhere ready. I would only need this level of protection during a public appearance or if I am going on a recruitment mission, such as this. And no, no one else is here because I do not yet have someone with your skills working for me so no use in looking around"
Vermillion now began to pace towards and around jack as he continued his job offer.
"If you choose to accept, you will need to be able to report on call on short notice. You will get a substantial pay, and since you are the first that I plan on hiring outside of my 'comfort zone' you will need to earn my trust. With this job you will also find out my true name, any and all operations that I conduct cannot and will not be shared. The more I trust you, the more I pay you. Simple as that."
Vermillion stood quiet for a moment, cleared his throat and went on again.
"I do apologize, I have been speaking an awful lot. If you have questions of any sort please, do not hesitate to ask, my friend..."

"I see your position on the situation and I wish to offer an alternative. Since I see now that you are one for the limelight I will do some reassigning.."
He turned to his body guard, Alex and gave him a little nod and with that that he took a few steps back and Vermillion took a few steps forward.
"Since you wish to be more public with your work I will move Alex here to my more subtle division and you can be front and center." He could feel Alex step forward to protest but Vermillion quickly put his hand up in order to keep him in line.
"Not only will your services for me be greatly rewarded but also quite the advertisement. I do believe in working for me your business will flourish. I make public appearances quite often and many people come to watch, you'll be my secret service. I can even get you a nice suit if you'd like."
Vermillion was smiling under his mask, he thought it would be rather nifty to have his own little secret service going. They can all have their headsets and the different positions, he was getting excited just thinking about the idea.
"Not to mention you would be the front of all the action. What with me having someone with abilities as my bodyguard, surly they would want to see how well such an individual would do in an emergency situation. I would have others escort me from danger while you took care of the problem. Of course, I would need you to rejoin with me once you have finished. If someone is going to try to take someone like myself out, there will be more than one round..."
Not only would he now be completely protected from an event like that, he could also begin a new portion of his campaign. With this ever so recent uprising of mutant individuals he would be able to grab the vote of those all for protecting these individuals and prove to those who are doubtful that these people with abilities that they are in fact good. Vermillion gave a little chuckle to himself, everything was coming together rather nice.
"Now with this new offer, what do you say? Partners...?"
