Hi Riverview! My name's Gabby and I'm new here! I was in New York before. The one with the superheroes. And now I'm here! Unfortunately, I think I lost all my stuff? And my caseworker kind of freaked out when I gave her the list, so maybe you guys can help me!

I'm missing my MAC-10 machine pistols, nunchucks and knuckle busters. Anyone knows where to get those? Oh, and a proper bullet proof suit.

Thanks!

Teams aren't really the Wolverine way.

. . . Well they kinda are, but we're bad at them.

[childofaxios]

Wolverines?

[ A raised eyebrow, a touch of a smile. ]

Sounds like a squad name to me.

[honeybadgerer]

[ mind. blown. ]

Huh. I guess they kinda do . . .

But yeah, we don't really do team ups that often.

[childofaxios]

Why not?

[honeybadgerer]

Probably has something to do with the whole test subjects experience.

I had it too, but my sisters took care of me.

[childofaxios]

[ Test... subjects....... ]

I see.

[ No she doesn't. ]

But just because you're bad at teams doesn't mean you can't learn to be better.

[honeybadgerer]

I mean, I'd like to. I certainly wouldn't mind.

[ but who would want her? ]

[childofaxios]

So join. You can be part of my youth squad.

[honeybadgerer]

Really?

What's it like?

[childofaxios]

We practice at the shooting range, hand-to-hand combat, and run the obstacle courses whenever they're not in use. We're also allowed to take non-lethal ammunition to check the fence's perimeter.

[ She gives a tiny smile. ]

And sometimes we do things just for fun, like going to the amusement park.

[ A pause. ]

You may be old enough for regular enlistment as a cadet, depending on your experience level. I serve in the Perimeter Guard proper, under the supervision of my CO. I can't promise anything in that regard, but it might be worth trying to find out.

[honeybadgerer]

Honestly, that sounds pretty great!

[ it'll keep her busy and fighting fit. which is good because gabby gets bored easily and is used to a hectic lifestyle. ]

Thanks a lot! What's your name?

[childofaxios]

Chyler Silva. I could meet you at the Perimeter Guard's enrollment office, if you like. Whenever you want to sign up.

[honeybadgerer]

How does right now sound? There's no time like the present!

[childofaxios]

[ Chyler likes the enthusiasm, there's no question about that. ]

Sounds good. I'll be there.

[honeybadgerer]

Great! See you soon!
