[So, normally, Pete was more than willing to respect the level of semi-secrecy that Batgirl--well, one of them, anyway--had been careful to set up for the young super-team she'd been putting together.

However, considering how bad things were getting now with the power loss? He was willing to put that aside for the moment. Especially with all the new supers who'd shown up since he last checked in. He only knew of a small handful of confirmed cases, but frankly? He was beginning to suspect that the odds were good that anyone coming from a place that had superheroes happened to be one. Or at least have powers of some kind. So a blind broadcast seemed more than worth the risk.]

I'm gonna go ahead and spare you guys the whole "help, help, my powers are missing" thing, and just get right to the point. Yes, I know it's happening to a lot of us, and I know some of us are having minor existential crises over it. I'm not here about that part of it. Besides, certain people way more photogenic than myself already got that covered. Me, I'm more concerned about what we're gonna do next. Kinda like that space-case we picked up a while back.

[Oh god don't hate him Kirk and Spock it's just the Spidey persona talking]

I know plenty of us younger Turtle-nauts had special powers, or experience dressing up in snazzy outfits to go around fighting the bad guys back home. And I definitely know not all of us are used to working with other people. But for those of us who are still kinda new at this, or just happen to be young enough we haven't had time to create seventeen different contingency plans for this particular scenario. So I think we should pool our efforts, and do whatever we can to make sure we don't get ourselves killed.

Especially because in my experience? Bad things on this scale tend to be followed by more bad things. And bad people getting a little more confident. So let's follow the lead of that rocket jockey and start figuring out what kind of skills we can all bring to the table. If you're up for it, let me know. The sooner we can get together and start helping each other out, the better.

[At least if anybody got too upset, he could always brush this off as organizing in the wake of the power loss. Which was technically true, so it wasn't like he'd be outright lying about this little recruitment drive.]

[ooc note: anyone paying attention to things like location broadcast, etc., would notice this is coming from Pete's home console. He'll be more than happy to ~~lie about~~ explain that too, considering even though reconstruction has started, the place is still pretty thoroughly destroyed. Never know who could creep in.]

You're talking about making like a kid Ultimates-- or Avengers or superteam or whatever?

I guess I'm in.

Not getting killed sounds fun.

[HEY SPIDEY. Yeah, Leo knows precisely how much you rely on your powers to fight. It must suck to have that curtailed.]

I guess it's a good thing we've been covering taijutsu [hand-to-hand].

If you want to bump up the pace, I promise not to throw you into any walls. [Not as hard as usual, anyway. Hey, bone bruises are part of the learning process. But if ever Spidey needed to build his skill-set as quickly as possible, now would be the time.]

[ ooc: Assuming ongoing CR per our last thread! ]

[ PETEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING... ]

Wait, what exactly is it you want.

I've got experience with the Team back home. Which you know already.

What do we get out of it?

[ Kara frowns at the screen. It's not that she hasn't seen masked people before, she's seen lots of them. And she's well aware that most of them like to play hero. That's really not for her. It's the younger modifier that catches her attention and makes her draw some connections. ]

Were you aware of the group Batgirl had organized? [ It's not exactly the same thing, but similar enough that it's worth asking. ]

I was a Teen Titan back home. [He'd only just signed on permanently, to be sure, but once a Titan, always a Titan, right?] My powers still aren't working out, but what kinda hero would I be if I couldn't make do without 'em? Let me know what I can do to help.

[The smile on Jaime's face is audible.]

...Who are you, anyway? The Scarlet Spider?

[He was going to give you crap about the crisis remark, but accepts the photogenic comment as a personal compliment and lets it go.]

I'm still pretty new at this. If it's a team you're talking about, I want in.

I've spent a lot of time figuring out how to tackle big things at normal human levels and not die. I think I can teach anyone who needs to know now.

And I've got... space to do it in too, if that's a problem for anyone. At my place, or... somewhere else. [ At the team's headquarters. Rikki hasn't been there since Steph left, but... she should probably go back some time soon. Make sure everything's okay there. ]

Please don't get yourself killed. [He's joking only not really.]

[Korra waited, monitoring the unencrypted responses that were given. After a while, she sighed and turned on her cam to give her two cents.]

To some of us it's more than a minor issue. Like having a part of your spirit stolen. [She was fully aware that wasn't the topic he wanted to discuss, but Korra felt she needed to answer it anyway.]

Without those, we're just a bunch of teenagers who are just trying to console each other. Unless you see something else happening.

[Morose doesn't suit Korra, but it's what's left in the wake of her absent bending.]
