(Hunter)
The FBI agent's laugh was a rough grumble. "Yes - you're right. So get me that information. The sooner the better." He stood up to leave, and looked at the outfit on the bed. "Maybe take that new suit next time?"
(Sentry)
Looking into his mind, Sentry can determine the following:
1) He genuinely believes that you are some actress hired by an inventor meant to show of the technology.
2) He does not believe that "superpowers" are real, and that you clearly have some kind of hidden agenda.
3) He wishes to ask you inside so he can use the hidden cameras he has there to get a better look at your technology.
4) He does find you more attractive than the usual actresses he has dated.
(Tank)
Lex listen to the younger man's words and nodded. "Yes, it is a start. And when you are ready for more, you will do more. You have a lot of potential, but just like with your Aunt Viv, you'll get your chance when you are ready, OK? I will help you, while I can." He chuckled at the embrace. "OK, OK....good that we can do that without me worrying about broken ribs. Let us get you home before your mother asks too many questions."

"What's relevant, I'll pass on to you. Yeah, I'll give it a try. The costume I mean. Tracking and hunting is my bread and butter."

Sentry pauses for a moment, making a decision. Sensing no immediate danger, she nods. "Very well. I have a moment to talk." Sentry will wait for Powell to start to go inside before following him.

Alex let his uncle go and grinned, "Mom doesn't worry about me when I'm out with you. Father is the one that thinks you will lead me astray." He chuckled as o appear they were actually doing something. He waited until they were in the truck before asking, "So, does The Sentry come into the shop sometimes like other heroes around the city? I don't know if I ever met her before the attempted bombing and then at the club tonight."

(Hunter)
Agent Caleb gave a passing smirk as he stood in the doorway. In the distance, Hunter could hear the caw of crows. "Of course, you hunt. Just understand that you hunt for us, now." He closed the door and left you alone in the hotel room.
(Sentry)
Paul Powell walked into the well decorated den. The lamps were new and bright, illuminating the polished oak furniture and mahogany desk, as well as the white leather couches on each side; the image put Sentry in mind of pictures she had seen at the White House. Paul placed his glass on the desk and refilled it from a crystal tumbler. "My uncle started this company - built it from nothing after the war." He looked you over. "He used to tell me some rather fanciful stories. Sad, really - the man had so much, but because of his broken body, his mind also broke, you see. He had to conjure these fantastical notions to make up for his own feelings of inadequacy." He took a sip. "Stories like that are often for children, I find; justifications for how the world is or is not, to escape and cushion the reality that only the strongest, and the most daring, can make the world what it can be." He took out a glass. "May I offer you some? If not, I have any refreshment you desire, my dear."
(Tank)
"Your father I have less influence on; you'll have to deal with that one." Lex responded as he started the car. "As for the Sentry - well, let me answer your question with a question - if she asked me if you used my services, how should I answer?" He started the drive home. "This is your time, young man - you make the rules now. Just understand what you want those rules to be."

Scowls. [/i]That's where you're wrong Caleb. I hunt for myself first.

"Dad's the easy one for me to deal with." Alex smirked, "I just agree you're the bad apple and by working with you I am learning not to make the same mistakes." He burst out laughing as his uncle began to drive. He thought for a moment, "If she was to ask, I see no harm in telling her the truth, that Tank does use your services. After all, you taught me that you can answer a question truthfully without giving all the details. Besides,if she's smart, Sentry already knows you know me since she saw us both at the rally and may have even saw us together with Hunter."

Sentry shakes her head. "No, thank you." Looking around, she asks, "So, what did you want to tell me?"

(Hunter)
Now alone in the silent, dimly lit room, all you can see is the telephone, your bed with the uniform provided by the mysterious G-man, and the card the Concerned Citizen supplied you for the place to meet. Wong's Chinese Opera House.
(Tank)
Uncle Lex gave a solid nod of approval. "Good. Then that is what I will tell her. As I will tell you she does not use my services, but I know of her through various means. You can trust her, and if she asks me, I will tell her she can trust you." The car pulled into your home. Again you remind yourself of the meeting early in the morning with the Hunter, the Sentry and the Concerned Citizen...
(Sentry)
"I'm trying to understand you. You are clearly as intelligent as you are beautiful, my dear. So I do not understand this story you keep telling." He finished his glass as he set it down. "We've had mystery men before, and we've seen that the use the idea that they might be more than human, some supernatural horror to spark fear and mystery. It works for those whom are naturally fearful or uneducated, but it is always revealed to be clever parlour tricks and slight of hand.
What you're doing is fundamentally different; you are claiming to have some supernatural power, but not asking for fear, but rather...what, exactly?" He raised an eyebrow. "Because the options presented are limited; either you are a fraud, and there is some trick you have yet to reveal to explain yourself - hidden technology and armor, for example. In that case, you'll undermine the trust you are trying to build. Else you have some other secret - perhaps some chemical serum, or other scientific means yet undisclosed. If what you say is true, however? That power you have is natural to you...then," He closed the space between you and him. "Then you are not human. You are some kind of monster. And people will not accept a monster as a champion."

Sighs putting on the costume takes a moment to call his hotel room. “Yes, will be late tonight. Keep dinner warm please.”

Alex nodded, and waved to his uncle as his pulled away. He reached in his pocket to grab his key and felt something else in his pocket. He pulled it out and looked at the card the man calling himself Concerned Citizen. He took a last look at his uncle's car disappearing into the night. He let out a sigh as he put the paper back in his pocket, "Sorry Uncle, but I wait until I know for sure, may miss my chance." He uttered as he decided to go to the meeting, before turning and going inside, hoping he wouldn't wake anyone.

Sentry shrugs. "I've done nothing but help the people on this planet. I've never hurt anyone and I never plan on doing so. Why would they think I'm a monster? Simply because I'm not from around here?"

(Hunter)
"Yes of course." The voice on the other end replied. Hunter could then go forward with his plans and head for the Chinese theatre...
(Please provide skill rolls with your actions)
(Tank)
Tank managed to make it to his room without waking another soul in the house. He stood in his room, lit only by a street lamp, as he heard the occasional car drive by.
It's not hard to sneak out again to reach the theatre.
(Roll perception)
(Sentry)
Paul Powell's single laugh was long and low. "Yes, exactly. People have done worse for far less." He gave you a quizzical look. "I do hope this naivete is a ploy on your part; you seem far too intelligent for this simple line of reasoning." He looked to his glass, and then back to you. "Are you sure I can't offer you anything? I do wish to be seen as a gracious host, after all. I would like to get to know you better, and perhaps we can find a better path forward for you and your career. I can be very ...helpful." He leaned in close, eyes locked on you.

Alex eased his door shut and changed his clothes quickly, careful not to make any noise to disturb his family. He kept his new uniform on under his clothes before easing the door back open and started back out of the house the head to the meeting.
