"Hey, I'm pro-pretty girls," said Nonstop.  "I'm in favor of pretty super-girls posing, too.  That's cool.  But, uh... if, and I acknowledge that this is unlikely, but if we were to meet some super-girl, and want to get to know her, and bring her by the base... the pinups are cringe.  What's she going to think?  If someone is dating a super-dude and brings him by the base, same problem.  And what about a reporter or something?  Cringe all the way.  Social media death."

Hurricane let out a defeated sigh.

"Fine."

"And now it'll be easier to bring people over," said Nonstop.  "So you get more chances to meet someone.  At least in theory."

"Yeah. yeah," Hurricane said with a grumble as he began to pull them down.

"Okay, but let's do some research on these fire people," said Nonstop.  "Maybe see if we can pick up anything about any metahumans out there at all."

"On it," Longbow said. "Anonymous wikis have made this easier."

"And will no doubt lead them to our doorstep someday," said Nonstop.  "But today isn't that day.  I hope."

"We're on this one, but not our headquarters,"  Longbow said. "Not much info."

"So who is out there?" Nonstop asked.  "What have we got to go on?"

"There's a few different fire related villains, but there's no sign they've worked together," Longbow said.

"Hm.  Any active around here lately?" Nonstop asked.

"Closest we got is a guy that went by Firefist. Operated in LA mostly as an arsonist. Low level. He used flaming gauntlets he built himself," Longbow said.

"Hm.  Kind of a thin lead," said Nonstop.  "Doesn't sound like our suspects, but if he turns up, we can check.  Nothing else, though?"

"Most are either on the east coast or in Dallas," Longbow said.

"Okay, that's no good, then," said Nonstop.  "Something new.  We might have to wait until we can see something new."

"Let's hope the security cameras got something," Grendel said.

"Yeah," said Nonstop.  "Any other business?"

"I think we're good. You going to take off?" Longbow asked.

"Yeah, got stuff to do," he said.  "Take care, guys."

"See ya," Hurricane said with a wave as the rest discussed what movie to stream.

Nonstop-- Jake-- headed home.

The base was quiet this early, you were the first one here.

Nonstop went to check in on Tome.

"Who is there?" the time asked from the book shelf it put itself on.

"It's just me," said Nonstop.  "How's it going, Tome?"
