Icepick91: Let's meet up incognito at a public spot..maybe the mall or something. Hopefully I can convince my sister not to rat me out. Then again, I've got some goods on her too, so it shouldn't be a problem. Sound good?

Omniverse42: When do you think? Makes me glad I'm an only child.

Icepick91: Well, she's cool, but she can be a real pain in the ass. I can be there in about an hour...

Omniverse42: alright meet ya there. I'll be wearing a superman blet buckle and a shirt talking about gravity. Peace
And with that he logged off. Leaving his computer he went to the fridge to write a note on the dry Erase board that he was out. Instead of flying he walked to the bus stop and waited for it to come.

Icepick91: All right, see you then...

Signing off...

Bill was surfing th enet when he found out. Registration? What is this Marvel? he thought to himself. Signing on to yahoo he checks if any of the others are online.

Icepick91 is online...

Any heroes out there? :)

Omniverse42: did you hear?!?!?!?!!?!111

Both Icepick91 and Omniverse42 get a group chat invite from WriterDude40. They would recognize the screen name as Ozzy's.

WriterDude40:Wassup with you two? Man, I think we may or may not have another prospective member. Jeff, remember my sis' friend? Apparently she's some kind of mad scientist or something. Seems safe enough, though.

IcePick91: Yeah I did. What in the blue hell is goin' on? That is some crazy stuff man...

Bill opens the chat
OMniverse42:Did you guys watch the news tonight?

IcePick91: Not much WriterDude....another member..cool! And yeah I heard the news...what the hell?!

WriterDude40: Yeah, man, some crazy shit for real. ****in' registration act! Man, if every wizard has to sign up... they're more or less pissing on, like, hundreds of years of my people's traditions, here! What the **** are we supposed to do? If we sign up, we'll get swarmed 'cause everyone will be wanting some kind of wand-waving magical quick fix to every little problem, but if we don't, then we have to worry about Big Brother!

Of course, Big Brother is watching us, anyway, so no big deal there. Now they can just openly do something about us if we don't comply.

Icepick91: I dunno guys..this is some really crazy stuff. Like the whole damn world's been turned upside down...of course if you think WE'RE up a shit creek, just imagine the Legacy. I wonder how they're gonna react to this? Besides how in the hell did a law get passed that quickly? Usually they take forever in the Congress and the House...

Omniverse42:I dunno guys, what if they send like, capekillers after us or soemthing if we don't register? Like deadpool did during civil war? And speaking of the Legacy what are THEY gonna do about it?

Icepick91: Damn....this is some crazy shit...Hell...in Civil War..they had everything planned..the Prison in the Negative Zone...the Capekillers..everything. What I wouldn't give to know what the Legacy thinks about this...

WriterDude40: They passed it quick 'cause they all know they'll get mucho votero offa this... not to mention the fact that every one of their 'major contributors' with any kind of interest in paras probably made sure that their senator/rep voted the way they wanted. Fuggin' politicians, man. They criminalize my art, they criminalize my magic... the **** am I going to need to be licensed, registered, and paying a fee for next, huh?

On both of their screens, Ozzy's little status message changed to '**** the system!'

Omniverse42:Ummm gusy? The voice wants us to know that a guardian serves the will of the people not his own selfish interests.

IcePick91: OK...I'll buy that...will of the people. But with this thing..how can we be sure if we're serving the will of the people...or the government?

Omniverse42: Oh god its like my grandfather is inside my head. But I want to know what the consequences will be if we DON"T register? Are they going to send agents and other supers after us? and the what? PUt us in camps? Study what makes us tick?

A new user popped into the chatroom, with an easily traceable IP address to a Weston University computer lab.

Mathlete21: Concerned about the legality of SRA. Any word of judicial appeal? This thing _can't_ be legal.

Omniverse42:The question is what can be done about it, its the law now I don't think any of us has the money to hire a lawyer and aren't we just as bad as the guys we stop if we're out breakin gthe law?

IcePick91: This is so confusing. The stuff that I can do...just came to me...without any question or manual or anything. Some of us are just trying to do the right thing instead of going out and being a supervillain. And it seems like we're scrutinized even for doing that.

It didn't take Zeke nearly as long as he thought it would to search through everything.  He had to hand it to himself, he could be thorough but at the same time he could make a quick cliffnote for himself as well.  With everything that was happening he needed a little time to just get his mind straight.  He'd figure things out with the team tomorrow, after his first lesson.  With the news of the registartion act though, well it seemed like something that might be the buzz.  Going upstairs to his little apartment in the slums, with better security in place this time around!  He logs into his computer.  When he stumbles across the chat they're in however, there's no IP address, not even a signal showing it's from any outside source.  For all intents and purposes the screen name is just that.  A screen name in the chat.

Decepticon396:  Heh, for people worried about the act, you sure do pick a weird place for talking about it.  Don't worry, got us screened though.  So you're wondering what Legacy thinks?  Can't talk for the rest of the crew, but I'm giving some thought to signing up.  Then again, not much choice...  showing up in the White House without any disguise on and a criminal record will do that I guess.  Guess this world's really going to hell when a sarcastic paranoid guy like myself is alright with registering.  Come on, it's not the comics.  Trust me.  Been doing this for a long time.  And paras have probably been around longer than you thought.  Course if you're hearing voices, I guess that isn't a surprise for you, Omni.

Mathlete21: There's just no way SRA is constitutional.  Can't we sic the ACLU on this?
Mathlete21: Legacy?  No joke?  Crap.
