[Action]  1489 Kramden Road

[Coming home from work Michael stumbles over a package yawning, working all night stunk but hey, it was better than dealing with all the drones.  Kneeling down he takes the box and opens it, grinning stupidly when he does and pulling a ring out to put it on]

"Through all the years, all the suits you've been with me, the

The Baron is a perfectly good chap and I keep him in line.

[boostedfailure]

"I dunno, I was told he was keeping people under an iron fist."

[lunawolves10th]

Here? Well, that's one way to maintain compliance but no. He's not doing that here.

[boostedfailure]

"Well, I was advised to keep an eye on him. I'm sure knowing that the Blue and Gold is out there would be enough to keep him from relapsing. Wish Ted was here though..."

[phone]

[ooeeooahah]

[ After a few moments of stunned silence, there is a rather loud cackling laugh, with a few knocks as the handset is dropped, and the laughter continues. ]

[boostedfailure]

"Yeah, that was kind of my thought too. Really dumb name, probably a 6th rate super villain."

[ooeeooahah]

[ Laughing continues, as the woman incoherently tries to explain to someone in the background: ]

He... He's after Detective Kimble!

[ Dissolving into laughter, such that any response in the room with her is drowned out. ]

[boostedfailure]

"...Don't think I've heard of him."

[velesdonnersen]

[Picks up phone, eyes wary...]

Hello? The... The Baron?

Do you mean Baron Wulfenbach?

You do know it's not the same...

[shakes his head and whimper-giggles]

Might I ask if you are a Gentleman Adventurer, perhaps?

[boostedfailure]

"You know if you want to look at it in a Victorian sense yeah, I guess you could call me that. I dunno, like I said, my plucky sidekick Agatha said he was kind of a world dominator and I'm trying to teach her how to not be an evil mad scientist."

[velesdonnersen]

[Sputters of mild hysteria.]

You... She....

Agatha? Agatha HETERODYNE? Is your "plucky sidekick"!?!?!?!?!

[Ponders this insanity...]

Hmmmmm. That should be a very interesting relationship for both of you. Somehow I never saw her as the sidekick type, myself, though.

So, she told you Baron Wulfenbach was a world dominator, huh? Interesting. It was certainly true back home in Europa. What are your plans, if I might ask? I... might have a shared interest. I would certainly be interested in any information you turn up.

[boostedfailure]

"Well, you know, Europe dominator, and when do guys like that stop after one landmass. And yeah! She just needs some mentoring and she could be a grade A heroine of justice. Just have to get rid of those impulses to have minions and what not."

"Uh... Plan? You mean other than charging in and knocking some good old fashioned justice into him?"

[Outside the record store, Maya glimpses something passing by overhead and looks upwards, raising her hand to shield her eyes from the sun. She raises a brow and laughs when she spots the glowing figure -- wait, glowing? Cool.

Grinning, she waves.]

[boostedfailure]

[Zipping by he waves and lands near Maya]

"Hey there!"

[itswhoopasstime]

Hey! Neat trick, there.

[boostedfailure]

"Yeah I know. Finally got back part of my getup from home. Had this thing for years."

[phone]

[horvillemayor]

[She picks the phone up and pouts lightly]

Oh, the Baron! I know him--very well, in fact.

He's a horrid brute of a man, very dangerous-- he's thrown me out of the windows a few times, at the slightest provocation! [Do you hear her pain, her quiet fear that is so totally not faked]

[boostedfailure]

"Throwing women out of windows? That's... Wow.. Just wow... You know, maybe my sidekick was right to point him out. Don't worry ma'am, I'm on it!"
