Re: Various Locations - Currently "Casa Del Sombrero"


Casa Del Sombrero
Hatters home is on the upper side of Central City. A subset of the suburbs raises up into a hill filled area, the home in question sits on the side of one such cliff. A high-tech number that looks fairly fitting for exclusively his Head persona. Designed from Glass and metal with geometric shapes as the primary design choice it stands out from the itty bitty greenhouse but took up the near microscopic backyard, made even smaller things to the small swimming pool.

Hatter had money and it showed.

The garage was mostly converted for construction and fabrication projects where is the primary building itself looks like it's either lived in or was designed to be and meeting place. the whole thing couldn't be called a base so much it was just simply a home that was purchased in modified. If somebody were to attack it with supers would fall like a house of cards.


Hatter was racing around with a number of Pizzas trying to get things ready. The goal behind getting people to do a briefing outside of others was really because he picked up on a psionic. Shrew had a mental block that was in place and there were only one or two psionic powers that could do that. Being a psionic was a nightmare at times, so much damn paperwork one would assume that you are an accountant for legal firms.

With a screech of wheels, the shiny red dodge Challenger stopped nearby the building, and the blonde bombshell slided out of her vehicle, fetching the tower of pizzas she gots from Luigi's ten minutes ago.

In her unforgettable way, hips swaying with feminity, confidence and power, she knocked or rang at the bell, for this special delivery service, and night out.

Locks shifted and the door opened giving her hand a gentle tug to encourage her to enter. Hatter was in the process of moving a giant white cushion to sit in front of one of his chairs. "Hey Knockout, we may not have a huge amount of time but it's important all the same. Few slices and a debrief."

He made a gesture and took the weight of pizza up, guiding her for the kitchen. "First off, how are you doing? One on one with Shrew looked like a grand old time. Need any patching up real quick? She no doubt will."

He didn't have his helmet on and he looked exactly as one would expect, a scruffy smart guy but and supremely confident in himself. Still in a suit he cut an odd but not off figure. "Names William 'Hatter' Mesmer, by the way."

She followed him in the kitchen, and put the pizaas onto the central spot, then went to wash her hands.

SHe never wwore a mask herself, as it never stroke her as necessary, been quite remarkable anyway, all blonde, supernaturally pretty, busty and statuesque.

"Brooke. Nice knowing you Bill. And no thanks. SHe was good with her jabs, but my superphyshiology makes it difficult to bruise me for long. So I'm good. And hungry. And thristy. I hope the others won't take too much time, or I don't promise I'll wait for them to eat the pizzas"

Hatter shrugged, "Fortune favors the bold. Part of me thinks they won't show up considering the whole police station thing." He gestured at the pizza. "Dig in. You care for tea or wine? I also have a rainbow of beer and my own brew." He kept more than a few wines on hand and he had enough tea to stay up for a week.

"In all honesty the important one was you. When I mind controlled Shrew I found a clear sign she had a block that was placed there by a psionic. She won't tell them about her team." He pulled out a big fat bottle of hot sauce for his own pizza. "I didn't see a psy in their group, but even then I am invisible to mentalist detection so it's not far fetched they have the same."

"When you had been captured, did you see anyone who was being quiet? Missing any patches of memory or something get fuzzy?"

"I'll go for red wine." she replied with a cheerful smile. She opened a pizza box, and grabbed one part to munch, obviously with a good appetite.

"I don't remember much. I just got ambushed in an undergound parking, and somehow gazed so I felt unconscious quickly. So yes, everything got fuzzy, but I doubt that can be helpful. You're the expert in minds, so if you belive some mentalist is hidding, well, we should be cautious."

There are few twenty-four hour pizza joints in town, but Knockout knows them. Otherwise she wouldn't have been able to show up at two am with a couple of pies. The Crushers had attacked Manning Enterprises at midnight, and clean up took some time.
Also, there is no evidence that Knockout was mentally manipulated.

William set out a glass for her and poured. A newer wine from the samurai girl branch. "I am about as sure of it as someone picking bullets out of a vest saying there was a fire fight."

"Hawk is the only other one who had been exposed for any length of time worth noting. There is drifter bit he's a whole bag of cats I don't care to mind scan. Anyone that deep in fiction is likely to have a unique brain." he rubbed his chin. "I'll see about a passive scan for the others. If you'll consent I'll alert you to and highlight and holes or blocks you may have. Nothing invasive."

"I can't remove blocks, my skills are more in mind reading and cellular augmentation through removing mental blocks. I can, however, help you get through them."

"Up for it? Kinda have to have consent being a card carrying psy. They make me have wavers to do anything fun, but simple checkups are a verbal consent thing."

Ooc: yea, was running on the fact she was alone in their grip for an extended period. At this point it's safe to assume she was either gassed or mind blasted. I'll include such in any report for a clean bill of mental health.

Her deep blue eyes blinked a bit, all sipping at a glass of wine then, and she listened to the newly met mentalist, pondering.

"I've been known to be quite.. stubborn also, but ok, why not afterall. DO your thing, and don't mind me if I eat more than I should."

He smiled, "Far be it for me to tell a woman with a killer figure as to how she should eat." He pulled a rosary out of his pocket and wrapped it around his wrist as a reminder for himself.

He moved around the counter and placed his hand on the small of her back. Contact wasn't required but it did let people know he started. Half of what he did was more for others sake. "Annddd."

He assumed it was a bad memory so he didn't replay it for her. He was professional and discreet as he went for a mind scan and a swift read. Hatters own mind was like a well ordered presence. Firmly commanding but also gentle as he was fairly skilled.

"Interesting but no real sign of tampering. Likely gassed out, no sign of someone picking through while you had been out. Though that is worth exploring at your leisure."

He smiled at her. "Anything you want me to look over beyond this? Any weapon X type hero back story you want explored?" He didn't want to push so early. Ruin things so quick and knockout could likely do just that to him.

Brooke licked two fingers of the pizza's remaining, showing how tasteful it was, with a wink. She didn't feel anything at first, but would eventually notice him doing something with her mind, as any people would, except if he was skilled and powerful enough to make it invisible.

"I dunno. You're  the epxert. During my time gased out and the moment I woke up.. I dunno if they could have tried to manipulate my mind or.." she stopped, obviously reminding of something that made her embarrassed, but said nothing more. Smiling sly.

Re: Various Locations - Currently "Casa Del Sombrero"

Hatter was naturally perfectly invisible to even the most powerful psychic, but for her he made sure she could tell what he was doing. He respected her and wouldn't sneak about in her mind.

"That there is something to explore over time. That's all you dear and it's a chance at growth if not simple enjoyment. If you are Keen on it I'll be going out for dinner next Saturday, you are welcome to join me. A date with you so I can get to know Brooke better than I know knockout."

"Few dates past that and we can explore for more. Who knows how far that could go, order is nice but spontaneity is the thrill."

Re: Various Locations - Currently "Casa Del Sombrero"

A delicate eyebrow raised on Knockout face, and she sipped more of her wine, pondering the offer, and smiling low. She wouldn't decide anything now, as she knew too much how her own metabolism and hormones could make her take hasty deicsions.

"Hmm, and what do you do when you don't ask grils out or try to read their mind and memories ? I have not much to hide, I'm afraid. I'm just a casual girl that went to church, with a patriot dad, and that got empowered by accident as a genetic accident somehow. And more important, how did you get involved with the Crusaders and Crushers ?"

Re: Various Locations - Currently "Casa Del Sombrero"

Hatter smiled as he removed his hand from the small of her back, To pull a piece of pizza for himself. "Kid for m Wichita Kansas. Came I to the Catholic faith all on my own. Spent some time making a company that 3D prints prosthetic limbs cheaper than they high end stuff."

"Got found out because while I may be super sneaky mentally, there is still a way to pick me up. Went dead emotionally when they turned off my powers."

"Ended up joining as even good guy psys are closely watched. It's good to have reminders to behave." He rattled his Rosary. "It's real tempting to be a bad guy as a pay and that's not who I want to be. I want to be one of the good guys, even though I'm a sinner.

"What are your plans for the future? Crusaders for life or independent later on?"
