Getting Answers and Backup

by Honey Badger

We headed back to a LFER safehouse with two of the bikers in tow. One of them was the leader "Geno" and the other "Dick" had with electricity powers. I happily proceeded to interrogate the two with the assistance of Timber and Nightwing. I got some answers from the prisoners, but found out that they knew little. Geno and his gang of Hellions were regulars at the bar, loved to start fights, and didn't have superpowers before. He did confirm that the bartender was new, so it's likely that this mysterious man drugged Geno and his gang as part of a test or out of sadistic amusement. As expected, Geno and Dick weren't the most cooperative- but my claws extracted their cooperation, and my backhand and boots knocked them out when they tried to escape or resist.
 
We had a surprise visitor: a local vigilante with invisibility powers. He adopted the name "backup" at my suggestion and seemed fascinated by my accent. I'll have to work on my American accent, as my accent is a bit more distinctive than I had thought. Perry, our LFER commander, instructed us to drop off the prisoners at a certain location with the assistance of Backup. The drop-off was successful in the back of the bar, and we headed back to the safehouse. The young man is rather intriguing, as he reminds me of the street/country children I interacted with back in the old country. Plus he shares my contempt of the IERA and their bootlicking politicians, bureaucrats, lawyers, activists, and thugs with badges.
 
He's a native of the city and knows a lot about the IERA and their allies' operations. As much as I'm sure Perry and Dr. Moses would like me to lay low, I'd like to make an example of a few of those bastards. Just like I used to do in South Africa. It will send a message to the corrupt globalist tyrants that NYC is not "their city," and that their minions no longer have immunity from consequences. All I'll have to do is persuade Timber and Nightwing to my plan. Timber does seem to be enamored of me, perhaps I can make use of it. I do find him charming and a hunky specimen thanks to his size and muscle, especially as I'm used to looking down on men when I'm in Honey Badger form. I know my mom wanted me to marry by this age, but the IERA and the SA regime had other plans. Well, maybe something will come of this, but I'll take this one step at a time. Perhaps beating up on some IERA thugs would make just the perfect first date for us!
