OK, I know I said my offer was one time only the last time we talked, but I’ve been watching all of you for the past few days, and I actually feel sorry for you. So I’m trying this again. Most of your more hostile comrades seem to be among the disappeared, so I hope those of you who are left will be a little more reasonable about this whole thing.

My name is Jack. I am not - repeat, NOT - working with the Head, and I wasn’t a member of the Heart, either. I’m not trying to trick you - my offer to help is genuine. And I even brought an olive branch this time. It’s a video I found, and no, I’m not Rickrolling - click here and watch. I think you’ll find it sheds some pretty interesting light on what happened here, back in the day.

Now, when you’re done watching, you have a decision to make. Do you want my help? Because I have a couple of tricks up my sleeve, and I’m happy to share them - for a price. My going rate is the same as last time - I want a story. A confession, specifically, of something wrong that you did and got away with. As far as what I’m offering? I can set up a secure network for you to communicate with each other, stay in touch, talk out whatever plans you might come up with to escape this hellhole. It’ll be a lot easier than trying to coordinate a dozen people into the same meatspace where yes, Virginia, you’re still being monitored by our evil robot overlord. So that’s one option. The other is that through the power of magick, I can make you invisible to all technological surveillance. Option A, the network, will need to be a group decision. If you pick option B, though, we’ll arrange payment on an individual basis.

Questions are fine, but I’d appreciate a little civility. If you’re only going to yell and be a dick, you can just keep scrolling.

[ In the hectic mess that was the capture and executions of the Heart, it would be easy to overlook one captured vampire. The doctor for the chosen, those brought in. The doctor fired for sticking his neck out to try and solve a case.

Jason Todd's roommate.

Michael had a bad habit of not coming home for days, and working himself half to death, but, no contact had been made at all, even his phone seemed to be off. The thing with Michael is he can't die. He's tried, others have tried. But what better to do with a rebel with more degrees than personality?

The television feed that opened in every visible place had the Mayor standing before the very hospital that Michael had been fired from. ]

Good afternoon, dualizens! I hope everyone is doing well and getting back to business as usual! We have decided to come to you today to let you know that the hospital is finally back in working order, the head doctor who parished in a Heart attack finally has a proper replacement.

[ From the shadow, Michael walks out, his red eyes lacking their usual glow, he looks a little less animated but in the best suit anyone would have ever seen him in. His hair slicked back and his color was finally looking like he had properly fed. ]

I am sure some of you know the decorated Doctor Michael Morbius! He will be stepping in to help as much as he can! Let's have a round of applause. Dr. Morbius, would you like to speak?

[ Michael nodded stepping forward, his clawed fingers taking the microphone. ]

Good evening, one and all. I would first like to say hello, and a thank you to the Mayor for my new job. It has always been my dream to help everyone I can, and now I have this ability thanks to our wonderful government. Despite my earlier thoughts, I have found there is no reason to worry, and nothing to really question. The government is here to help us all.

[ He smiled, his smile hiding his fangs, nothing like his true smile. ]

To my fellow chosen, I want to extend an invitation to come and get the latest update for the virus that I have created, of course everyone is welcome, but outsiders need this more. I thank you all for your time.

p[ He gives a sweeping dramatic bow, before turning to walk into the hospital as the video concludes. ]

[Well isn't this awkward, right? A video on the network after all those horrible things happened and the person in it is smiling and cheerful. Except it's just a smile of the lips. There's no happiness in those glowing eyes. But he's forcing the smile because there is only so much he can do. And what he can do is try and fight back. In the only way he knows how. Making sure other people can fight back.]

Heya all! Zack here, and I had a totally rad proposition. Like, it's occurred to me while I've been working at this fitness place that the place charges a lot for their memberships, and even then you've gotta pay EXTRA for, like, a personal trainer like I do.

[Oh yeah, he's SO going to get fired for what he's about to suggest if his bosses at work see it. Well, the handy-man job probably not. But this? Definitely this.]

And, you know, when we're new here, new arrivals and all of that, a lot of your initial duos are going to clothes and food and all that stuff, right? It's reasonable. It's even smart. But you still wanna stay fit for your work if it's hands on stuff. And me? I like working out and getting fit and cheering people on. I'm, like, SUPER positive and I'm told I'm really great at helping out with this stuff.

So what I'm suggesting is this. I wanna start up a fitness group for my fellow newer arrivals. You know, those of us in the dorm building. I'm gonna see if I can't find some space to do it in, and I'll have a few different classes and all that. General fitness, weight lifting, those sorts of things.

[And then he tilts his head, like he's having a last minute thought. Which isn't true. Zack practiced this in front of the mirror for THREE HOURS to try and make it as real as he can through practice.]

Oh! And you know what is great fitness training? Martial arts and all that. I mean, I'm not the best at hand to hand, but I've seen a place that has these great practice swords, like, kendo stick stuff. I'd LOVE to teach that. I'm a swordsman, see, back home. REALLY good at it, and I'd love to teach people so I can keep my skills up. So I can teach that too. And some hand to hand combat.

Anyway I wanna do this thing so we can all stay fit and healthy, right? So I guess I wanted to know if people would want me to offer something like that, no charge of course. Oh, and if anyone knows a place I could hold it? Because my dorm room definitely isn't big enough. And doing it in the hallway is just asking for trouble.

So basically, any takers?

[the day after the robot uprising, after power’s been restored and the streets have been swept clean, jason’s here on the network with something to say about it - carefully, of course. he knows they’re being watched and he knows this is likely to put a target on his back, but that’s basically the story of his life. hasn’t stopped him before and it won’t stop him now.]

This city’s the third place I’ve been shipped off to since the last time I was home, and you know one thing that’s been the same everywhere? Sooner or later, there’s always some kind of weird and terrible attack waiting to happen.

[maybe a philosopher or social scientist would posit a hypothesis about the nature of living based on similar observations, but jason’s no philosopher. he’s a man of action, unwilling to sit back and do nothing when he sees a problem he knows how to fix.]

I used to teach self-defense in the last place I got shuffled off to, and I’m thinkin’ it’s time for class to be back in session. I don’t have a place yet, and I know some of us already know how to fight. Some of us’ve even got special abilities - metahumans, mutants, or you got some kinda upgrade from one of the shops here. But you can always learn more, and you always need more practice. I dunno about the rest of you, but I’m sick of seeing people get hurt or killed ‘cause they don’t know how to fight back when the weird and terrible things attack. So I’m gonna show anyone who wants to know how to fight back. And if any of you wanna help? The more the merrier.
