Alexander King




"Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Alexander King." says the news host as the news show that was appearing on Television after Oberon's announcement of the Arc system. The man in the suit at on a chair he then says with his smooth voice, "Thanks for having me, Bob." The man then says, "First Oberon Price, and now Alexander King. You are the weirdest story that has developed over the last few years. Taking over Midland circle after its fall and you turned it completely around. Not only did you change it to Midland Security, but it went from a multimillion-dollar thing to a multibillion-dollar corporation. How do you do it?"

Alexander adjusts himself and then says smoothly, "Its simple. I shot, killed and bullied my way to the top and hostility to take over everything to put Midland Security back into its current glory days." He pauses then says, "That's a joke by the way. I'm not that kind of guy. We had to go through tons of restructuring, and we had to fix all things that went wrong the first time. When the main building was demolished by explosives a few years ago. Many believed it was impossible but look where we are. On an early morning show with everyone wondering how one guy turned it all around."

The journalist then says, "Restructuring? Many people might believe your early joke especially with all those accidents your company was having early on when you took over. But with all the good you have put into New York. Opening homes for homeless and trouble teens. Offering your security firms services around the city to protect those who can afford it. You seem to really care about New York, but the big news is what you have talked about earlier before we went on air."

With a smile the suit wearing man says, "The current active use of my security firm within New York, to aid the New York city police in matters they have failed to deal with. Dealing with the weird incidents that have happened all too much lately. I am meaning the arrival of super powered and others of that nature that have been in this city. The police as on top of things as they have been aren't a match for the new threats that seems to be plaguing our city. Only last night we had another incident when a fundraiser was attacked by masked intruders. Some people are saying, and I quote ninjas attacked, but they were combated by people with powers. Some of these so called ninjas were killed. Now while they were a threat to those in who attended that fundraiser who gives the rights to those with special abilities to attack and act as vigilantes. They take lives of people, and damage property and do whatever they want. This night they were on the side of the those who were unfortunately caught in the crossfire were saved, but what about next time? What if next time an incident occurs those with powers and special abilities are the ones attacking? They could overpower the NYPD and do whatever they want because who can even stand up to them? If they have abilities like the big green man or have special armored suits like Stark had. Who can stop them? How could they be held accountable for their actions? So I have proposed a plan of action to the mayor. Allow my firm my security to assist the police in dealing with these matters."

The newsman, "Is that necessary? The Gala incident was unfortunate but..." Alexander interrupts, "Unfortunate is one word but it should be an eye-opening moment. This city isn't safe. You have Mister Price converting Stark's defense system to protect our world. But who is going to protect this city from the people with powers who are already here? The people of New York need a shield to defend them now Midland security can be the shield. We can be better than Shield. We can actually get the job done and protect the people. But that's enough of the policing issues. The mayor shot us down for now. But Midland security is here, and we are offering our services to deal with those the police cannot."

With the Alexander excuses himself off the set and leaves. As he leaves a woman his secretary meets up with him as he leaves and gets into his limo. He then says, "Hopefully that went over well. Did we ever find out whose ninjas those were?" The woman answers, "No sir..." Alexander's tone shift, "We need to find out if they were ours. Also give the order to execute those who were captured. Prison executions, poisonings. Don't care. These men if they are agents of the hand they need to be dealt with. We might be benefitting from their blunder, but we don't need any side factions acting independently anymore. The Gaos and other leaders all had their own agendas and look how things turned out. Its best to knock down this side faction and stop whatever their agenda is. Last thing we need is too much attention drawn the ninja aspect and less on the superpowered people. It might end up with enemies like the devil of hell's kitchen and our immortal enemies forming back up."

The answer was plain and simple, "Very well sir. Are there any plans with the failure to acquire the stark business that Mister Price just took?" Alexander pours himself a drink in his limo some fancy scotch he then says, "Nah, while it would have been nice to have Stark's technology working for us. We don't need it at this time. Right now, it only puts Mister Price in the spotlight allowing us to get our other ventures into works. Purchasing the docks, and warehouses so we can import and export our assets. Turn warehouses into recruitment centers, disguised as housing for the homeless and homes for troubled teens. We need to recruit and build ourselves back up from the failures of our leaders of the past. Midland circle was a disgrace. Focus so much on traditions and fables of the Black Sky. When we should have focused on our secrecy. Now, I for the last few months have revived the Hand to its rightful glory. Putting us in a position where the Hand can work in the open without needing to hide. This rogue group is aiding us to become the power we are meant to be. position blame and the spotlight on the people with abilities and let them hang themselves with their own antics and then we can come in and be protect them from their fears." The lady comments, "Seems like you have everything planned. Is there anything you want me to do sir?"

Thinking over for a moment, "Yeah send Mister Price's fundraiser last night a last-minute donation. Got to keep up appearances, a five hundred thousand dollar donation should be enough. Also prob around for information about those special people who appeared at the Gala last night. Some of them could prove to be useful. Best to keep as much information as possible. Should they be potential allies or enemies we might either need to recruit a few of them or permanently silence them. Oh and do me a favor and schedule a meeting with the board of directors of Midland security. We need to get everyone together and see how things are going. Hopefully we can get through a meeting without having to silence one or two of them at the meeting." The secretary, "Very well sir. I will schedule that meeting as soon as possible and send Mister Price that sizeable donation.

The limo speeds off ended back to Midland Circle tower as Alexander King plots from within. His goals to control the city and bring the Hand to center focus. His news appearance live to all to see sending a message to those who watched that a new group is about to enter New York to deal with those with special abilities.

Escaping the Gala was rather easy for James once the police showed up to deal with the people. With the orders to clear out James was out. He climbed out of the gala and swung his way out. Demons and Ninjas things were crazy at the Gala and he really didn't do much other than shot one of the ninjas with a grappling hook and punched a few people. That night James spent hours swinging around the city playing with his new suit and running from the cops. Avoiding choppers and other cops that were looking to capture the vigilantes that were at the Gala. Eventually he went home and started to go through all the information Guardian picked up on those who were at the Gala that showed up.

Once the sun rose Guardian woke James up from the dead of sleep to let him watch the news. Watching Oberon give his speech how he took Stark's stuff. James comments, "Good on you Oberon. Becoming the second coming of Tony Stark. Sure, like your spotlights don't you." Almost as if Oberon would hear him. James got his message from Athena then he sighed, "Guardian send the files over to Oberon and send him the message I am on my way."

James got dressed quickly went outside after calling a taxi. Guardian, "Couldnt you just swing on over faster?" James then says, "I could but war spider would attract too much attention now we just need to get to Oberon. We don't need to bring the press and the cops looking for an armored vigilante who is still trying to learn how to use his new suit." Once the taxi arrived, he got inside then said, "Alright Oberon Towers!" Quickly James gives the correct address to the taxi driver and drove off. Taking his time to show up after the ninjas he figured he would take its time getting back into things as he goes to where Oberon needed him.

James pulls out his phone and texted Oberon , "I'm on my way. Need anything before I get there? More ninjas? Or crazy demons? Or should I just show up as is?" His jokes he made as he was just killing time as he made his way to get debriefed by his new boss.


Sorry that I havent posted yet, had been dealing with covid and have been out of it, but I'll try to get something together

Interactions: Everyone In the Gala within ear shot


Hanging from the roof as Oberon spoke to him. James listened but the moment he asked for Guardian to start scanning everyone in the room. He nearly lost balance as part of his own brain started to act on its own. In that moment James comments, "Frosty you ever have your mind wander off and start doing things that you aren't actually doing? Yeah, Guardian is on scan duty. As for these Ninjas..." Going through the comments they might not recognize him especially the one ninja saying something about being the greatest, "Im not sure if these would notice me. One, new suit. Thanks, by the way, and two not sure if these ninjas are associated in the same group I have dealt with before. Because I would ask how many ninja groups are in New York, but I don't think I want to know that answer. New York is crazy enough without asking those kinds of questions."

As the things went on James stood out-of-the-way of combat for most of the things just letting Guardian do its work scanning all the special people with powers or weird suits in the room. Pulling up files, newspaper reports anything it can on people matching the descriptions Guardian even at one point started opening personal records and hacking its way through files that were behind solid firewalls. All in this time James was focused on defense as most of his systems seemed to require Guardian's assistance to run properly and with all these new people and Oberon giving his AI and order he needed to wait until this were sorted out.

While this happened James would throw out unneeded commentary things like, "Yeah get that guy! And that guy. Hit him, or that one."] Mostly sitting on the sidelines. He does at a few points starts flinging spider webbing grounding a few ninjas here and there. Getting those who got knocked down already to keep them out of the fight. At least the ones not being killed by the super powered people and demons? Who even knows anymore, with all these people coming out to help or at least to come out and beat people up.

James does yell out eventually to anyone who would listen, "Hey! Super people or things, we might want to wrap all of this stuff up before the law shows up. With this many people with weird ass powers, who knows what the cops will send. Or even shield. IS that still a thing? No clue but I dont want to find out! So, let's get people out of here or gets the ninjas out and run before we have to start explaining what any of you are!" Yelling out to give people time to think and hopefully end this before more people get thrown into the mix of things.

I don't mind either or if we are continuing. I could make a post but if you want to make another post to just put Martian and I in a singular post or anyone else that is still lurking that is still with us waiting for this to continue. Anything is fine for me
Bakuto

Location: In the Ocean for a long swim



Started off strong and determined to get through this first part of training Bakuto had rushed into things head first. Fresh from his crushing defeat and against the old man hermit Krillian's suggestion for him to wait Bakuto leaped into the ocean to swim at the meeting point. His goal was to even with his injuries be the first one there and get there faster than expected. Expectations hit the hard wall of reality. The hours flew by and the group was swimming after the first eight hours the darkness of night set in. At this point Bakuto's lungs along with his arms and legs were burning. The constant swimming, and the salt water of the ocean burned as he swallowed a bit of water from time to time over the length of time they swam.

Lazuli rescuing those who would fall under the ocean. With Bakuto each time he faltered he refused to let her help. Often going through the lines of 'I don't need your help." or something along those lines. His pride as a warrior on display. Quite differnt from his playful side he showed when he fought her. This was training and things were more serious for Bakuto. He was here to get stronger. His body was in its condition because he wasnt strong enough and this would make he stronger. Expecting help or taking a sort of short cut wouldn't be his way. If he was going to make it to the meeting point it would be with his own strength and will power. If he was to drown then he wasnt meant to make it that far.

As things came to an end four more hours later. Bathed by moon and star light Bakuto finished barely in near the first those who finished in the front of the pack. Lazuli most likely was first he didn't keep track of her when he reached the beach. His limbs and body was near its limit but yet he was defiant of his own limits. Fighting to stand back up to his feet once reaching the beach front he then looks front forward then states in a plain determined fashion while breathing heavy trying to catch his own breath, "What's Next?" Fully expecting Krillian to already be there even if he wasnt Bakuto stood there against his own limit asking for what is next and willing to go further into this training.

So, roll-call, who's still here?

Location: Hotel - Gala Fundraiser Outside
Interactions: Alistar. Rex and Various others


Before the scans of the hotel could go underway, things kicked off, first a guy gets hit in the street by a car. Changing James's attention while the AI in his head kept scanning but with further difficulty with the main part of the body focused on what was going on. 'Ouch looks like someone wasn't looking where he was going...' he started to think to himself as he was about to go out to see what happened. A loud crash game back inside the building he left. The two guards were about to go inside to investigate James grabs them both by the collars, "Help with the car, I'll deal with the inside." He gets the plan answer, "But we are the security for this..." James cuts him off quickly, "Getting in Price's way bad idea. Also getting in mine is just as bad just I don't care if you get hurt since I am not the one paying you. Now go help that guy and those people in the car looks like the boss was right about bringing me to this Gala."

Someone asked for his flask he turns than chucks the flask to them. "I'll expect that back later, I got to go help my new boss." He grumbles as gives his flask to a complete stranger before going back inside. Guardian replies to James, "The scans are done there appears to be a shoo.' James interrupts going back inside , "No time its game time.' He grabs his watch he was wearing on his way back into the building nearly ripping the doors off the hinges in the process of opening the doors and storming on him. "Ok press in the screen and it should be armed and ready. Suit up time."




Location Change- Inside the Hotel
Interactions: Oberon @soren , Wildheart@Virani



James runs inside as his out from the watch if anyone followed fast enough to notice a million little tiny particles came together forming his new battle suit of sorts. James takes off his ties and coat as the metal alloy forms around his body encasing him in his armor. Last the mask or helmet came on and the eye shutters close. 'Wow this thing is awesome. Lets get into this...' He stops his train of thought as he starts to see ninjas, and other people in weird costumes.

He speaks the and a voice modulator deepens his voice rather deeply, "Alright looks like I arrived at the right costume party...what the what's up with my voice? That's cool didn't even know I had this cool." A ninja goes to cut James with a bladed sword weapon the blade just bounces off the armor. James turns and looks at them, "Really? You see all this armor and you come at me with a sword? Gimme that." He grabs the sword by the blade and just snaps it like a twig. He grabs him he sees Oberon in his suit with some sort of lion? James then says, "When you wake up think of a different line of work once you get out of where ever they dump scum like you." He then swats the ninja in the head knocking them to the ground and out."

He sees a ninja going towards Oberon then he took a moment to try and use his suit some more. James stuck his arm out and he intended to web a guy going towards Oberon and the lion thing instead his suit fires out its grappling hook. Shooting through the ninja's shoulder instead. "Ouch...sorry, but while I have you! Get over here!" The grappling hook pulls the man into James who just punches him once he gets close enough. Then he pulls the hook out then cleaning the blood from it. "Gross. But still pretty cool!" James slides leaps off the ground and clings onto a pillar and jumps from one to another as he gets close to Oberon he then says, "Hey Frosty Boss, I think we have some gate crashers here. That or they all want to donate to whatever the point this was." Joyfully speaking while upside down he then adds, "Who are these clowns?" He says then quickly adds afterwards, "I mean these black clad gate crashers, not whatever that lion thing is. Nice to meet you by the way kitty cat!" His attention drifts from Oberon for one moment then to the lion. As carelessly as he just hung there in the middle of this battle scene.

Then he goes back to Oberon, "This is bad Frosty. We need to either get the people out of here or take this battle outside away from unwanted casualties. I haven't gotten full control over the suit yet and Guardian is trying to compensate but until we get things fully calibrated, we might have a few miss fires." The tone shift into a serious phase James looked right down at Oberon as he spoke. He didn't want to put people in the crossfire too much with his suits weapons and abilities as he tries to get a grip of his new stuff.

Location: Hotel - Gala Fundraiser


Walking towards the doors James just trying to get outside. Giving as many people polite excuse mes and other things as he walked by them. Once he gets to the front doors he opens them and sees the guards standing there. "Having a great night you two? Not missing much inside, is the real party out here?" James poorly tries to strike up a conversation as he scans the outside building and surroundings with his eyes.

Hotels and what not, first thing that came to James mind was this was a very poor place to have a gala at. Too many angles for this to go wrong, instead of dwelling on this he pulls out his flask he had nursed on to no avail he then offers it to the guard, "Here a little pick me up. It's not like you both will see any of the food or booze they are offering in there but this should be good."

The first guard refused because they are on duty James then says, "Oh come on, if something were to happen right now, it would be very dumb of anyone to attack this gala. First off Mister Price has some of the best security money can buy. It would be like kicking a hornets nest of bad for anyone. So drink up, I wont tell your boss." The second guard took the bottle and told the other to live a little and took a sip and nearly smack it all over the ground. "What is in this lighter fluid?"

James thinks it over he tried to find something that would hopefully go past his extremely high metabolism he then said, "Some very top shelf vodka that Mister Price had. I think, it wasnt really labeled but it's not bad stuff." Handing James back the flask the guard regretting drinking on the job as soon as he had.

James thought he saw a glint in the nearby hotel he scanned over it with his eyes. He wasnt sure what he saw he then asks his AI in his head, 'Hey could you I don't know scan over that Hotel and tell me if you see anything?" Guardian replied, 'Give me a second to scan and calculate I'll get back to you in a second.' James now awaits for his AI to get the information back to him.
