"Oooh, scary," said Leann.  "You gonna pull the whole thing down?  What's your plan once you're in?"

"I'm hoping to learn everything about them first, then we can work on taking them down," Mingmei said.

"Dangerous, but it makes sense," said Trayvon.  "Can't act against them until we know who's in charge."

"I wonder if there's more to it than some underground fight club?" Mingmei said.

"Well, sure," said Trayvon.  "If they're giving out superpowers, there has to be something bigger behind it."

"I fought someone who already had powers," Mingmei said.

"...I wonder if that was some sort of test?" Leann guessed.  "Either that, or they want even more powers."

"Maybe, it was certainly rough fighting them," Mingmei said.

"Are you all right?" Leann asked.  "Don't push yourself too hard..."

"I'm okay," Mingmei said. "She just had these annoying fire powers that she'd cover herself in."

"Nasty trick for her," said Trayvon.  "Especially against you... hey, or against anybody who's just a brawler, and that's who they're recruiting, right?  Maybe she's there to weed out anyone who can't take it."

"Maybe, it sure was annoying," Mingmei said.

"Maybe you should get some heavy gloves or boots or something," Leann suggested.  "Just in case."

"I'm pretty good in costume, this undercover stuff is harder," Mingmei said.

"Yeah, but I mean, so you don't get a nasty burn that makes it harder to fight," said Leann.  "I mean, ow."

"I know, I know," Mingmei said. "I'll be careful."

"I figure you've got it figured out," said Trayvon.  "Anything we can do to help you get ready for the big event?"

"Can you guys get me all the info you can about the location?" Mingmei said.

"Looks like a warehouse owned by a chain of holding companies," said Trayvon.  "Looks like bribed and forged and fake records of what work has been done to it, but they've definitely added a bunch of tech.  Their power use is way up for a warehouse."

"Interesting," Mingmei said. "This is going to be fun."

"It's also probably going to be dangerous," said Leann.  "At best, even if they don't catch you, you're going to be in a whole bunch of tough fights."

"I can take 'em," Mingmei said. "But thanks for the concern."

"At least you've got a safe way out," said Trayvon.  "That's not nothing."

"Yep! I got this, don't worry everyone," Mingmei said.

"Gonna worry anyway," said Leann.  "But you're probably the only one who can do this."
