Jesseca saw a large table in the next room that had a large holographic image of the team’s insignia, a shield with a flaming bird in the center of it, hovering above the center of it. Rows of bookshelves lined the walls with thousands of books on them.

“Guys? I’m back, and I brought a guest.” Hannah called out.

“Welcome back Hannah.” a man’s voice said from behind them.

The pair turned and saw a man clad in black armor, his helmet was adorned with menacing looking blood red tipped horns. The man’s face was completely obscured by his helmet, and he looked wholly menacing to Jesseca who was a good three or so feet shorter than the iron behemoth.

“Jesseca, this is Dementia’s Knight, he’s our team leader. Knight this is Diapered Dandy, she’s looking to join up with us.” Hannah said.

Jesseca gulped and smiled nervously, “Nice to meet you.” she said timidly.

“No need to be frightened, Knight’s a big teddy bear, he only looks tough.” Hannah explained with a giggle.

“Well, welcome to the team Dandy, glad to have you aboard.” Knight said, his helmet allowing no emotion to be seen. “The others are in the dining room.” Knight said and turned back to the lab where he’d come from.

“You’ll get used to him, he’s the strong silent type.” Hannah said as she took Jesseca by the hand again and led her to the dining room.

Jesseca began to feel the sense of déjà vu she’d felt when she met Hannah creep over her, but pushed it away again as they entered the dining room.

“Hey all, this is my friend and our new teammate Jesseca, AKA Diapered Dandy.” Hannah said as she addressed the group sitting at the table eating.

A young Korean girl waved at Jesseca as she slurped up a mouthful of spaghetti noodles. “Hi Jesseca, I’m Hanako, AKA Flower Child.” she said with her mouth still semi full. She wore her long black hair in a fancy braid on the back of her head, she had a bright red rose in her hair on the side of her head that made her pale complexion all the more beautiful. Her forest green silk kimono was very extravagant looking to Jesseca, and she wondered how the young girl managed to fight in it.

“Finish chewing at least before you talk Hanako, it’s very rude.” a large Jamaican man said from the other end of the table. “Sorry about her, she’s still in training.” he said to Jesseca.

Hanako stuck her tongue out at the man and continued devouring her meal.

“My name’s Damerae, AKA Ataris.” he said.

Jesseca saw a large battle axe sitting on the table in front of the burly Jamaican. His hair was done into long dreadlocks and he wore a black muscle shirt that showed off his muscular physique.

“Brianna AKA Arson.” a teenaged girl said from the kitchen without looking at Jesseca, she was engrossed in a cereal box and couldn’t be bothered to look away.

Arson was still in her sleeping attire, she wore a red tanktop with a pair of white cotton panties adorned with little flames all over them. Her olive skin and raven hair made her look all the more attractive standing there in just her underwear.

“Sue AKA Sue Radiance, welcome.” a middle aged blonde said from the adjoining living room.

Of all the members Jesseca had met so far, Sue Radiance seemed like the most hero like, she had a gold and white spandex uniform adorned with a cape that had the team insignia on the back of it, and a small gold mask over her eyes that added a small level of mystique to her.

“I am Severe.” a voice came from nowhere. It sounded to Jesseca like it was right inside her head.

An albino woman came floating into the room in a meditative position. She wore a tight silver and black outfit. Her eyes glowed with a pinky purple hue as she opened them to see Jesseca. “Welcome to the team.” she said to Jesseca without moving her lips.

“It’s very nice to meet you all, thank you for having me.” Jesseca said with a smile.

“We’re missing a few people, where are Electro-Cute, Winter Flare, and Premiere?” Hannah asked the group.

“In the training room.” Arson said from her cereal box novel.

Hannah again grabbed Jesseca’s hand and led her to the training room. Jesseca again pushed away the strong sense of déjà vu as she was led to the training room, it was getting stronger and harder to ignore now, and she wondered where it could be coming from.
