Miranda and Quinz passed the first stage of the recruiting: the basic criminal backgroun check.
Since Quinzel had no identity on Earth prior to the incident, therefore had no criminal record or major debts.
Miranda, likewise, had a record as long as her arm, and a post-it attached to it with a service record form government agencies, also getting her through the door.
Inside the main room was about a half dozen work-desks with printouts and manuals. Inside were 4 other hero types. Charger's opinion of them seemed about accurate. Unlike the well-known superheroes, these guys looked like they needed the steady paychecque. They were in their costumed outfits, (up to the players if they're cosutmed or not), and already thumbing through.
One, in a cowlish outfit waves politely in turn as Quinzel and Miranda walk in.

Qunzel nodded. He was in his outfit, but wore the long coat to conceal it and to better blend in to the civilian element on the way there. he knew why these guys were here...The costumes needed work, but his suit was made by the best his dimension had to offer. he made a mental note to find out about Archamedes of this dimension.
"a Manual?" he said as he picked it up. "Names Quinn you are?" he said to the cowlish outfitted one. wondering that he was getting into something bigger than he planned.

"No wait! Don't - " Said a young man on the other side the cowled fellow...
Suddenly, a woolen sock appears on a black-stockinged arm (opposite to the arm that waved). A woollen sock, with eyes. "Hello!" Says the sock, in a high-pitched voice. "I am Sock-puppet Man. I'm super pleased to meet you, Quinn. My, that's a snappy coat you're wearing."

Having no costume, Miranda looks around as she enters the room and seeing the printouts and manuals, grabs one of each. Noticing that the Quinn is talking to the sock puppet, she finds a place to sit down and starts looking over the printouts and manuals.

Miranda finds her seat between the young fellow and the guy who looks like a PI, that smells like he bathes but fails to present it in his image.
The young guy's playing a game-machine, pretty much ignoring the stack of papers next to him.

"Yeah, good too meet you. too." he replied with a neutral and polite tone, "I need to sit read these. Will talk later sometime." he took a seat and read the material. He thought to himself of the so-called 'Terrible Siphon' and an odd villian he once saw on TV called "One Tonne" as he read the hand outs.

The mannuals include a full list of rules (obey the law, do what you're told) and who the wanted folks are. It includes any number of known super-villains, gang colours, etc. The last section includes the Legionnaires as vigilantes. It also includes means to recognize the Centurions and other Caveliers, and the police forces across the country, military, Canadian and Mexican Law Enforcement, and so on.
Hundreds upon hundreds of pages. The guy next to Miranda looks over. He's not masked either. "You're a bold one." He says.

Miranda looks up from the papers she is reading and glances over at the guy sitting next to her. "I am?" she asks "How so?"

"You came in your street clothes..." Says the PI. His voice is instantly recognizable to Quinn. "Not many in this line of work do that.
"I chose not to wear a mask, either. Which I think is super-keen." Says Sock-puppet Men.
"Wait. I know you, don't I?" Says, the guy beside Sock-Puppet man to Miranda. "I've seen you before." He has some kind of game machine to the side, but a cheap ski-mask over his face.
"Heh, you're a popular one." Says the PI. "Must be fun being a girl in the world of men." He chuckles at the foolishness of such a generalization. "They call me the Troubleshooter." He holds out his hand.

Miranda glances over at the man with the cheap ski-mask and asks "You have? Where did you see me before?"
Shaking Troubleshooter's hand, she replies "They call me Windchill." Smirking at the generalization, she replies "It can be interesting at times."

"You've got Fire and Ice powers, right?" The younger man says. "My name's Power Armour. Don't know if you remember me... we've... don't want to sound too corny, but we've crossed paths before."
"Windchill it is. I hope you don't show your face too much on the scene... that can mean trouble." Troubleshooter says. "NO sense in throwing your life away like that, just for a protest of masks."
The sock-puppet looks up from reading. "Are you sure?" He says, sounding concerned.

Miranda nods at Power Armour and says "I do have fire and ice powers, but I'm afraid I don't remember when we crossed paths. Can you refresh my memory?"
Looking over at Troubleshooter, she shrugs. "I've been fine so far. If I need to change things, I can adapt."

*Revenant - A man walks in...just a shade over 5'10", ordinary build with 2-3 days of light brown beard stubble, and his eyes concealed by a pair of thick dark Tank goggles. He wears black jeans and a black turtleneck, a black bandana covers his head like a skullcap. The webharness and black leather longcoat he wears overtop are clearly custom-made as you can tell by the fit over his frame. The most prominent feature is the oversized pistol in the gunslinger-style hoslter on his left hip. He smiles and shakes his head as he looks about. He is listening to what appears to be a highly customized Ipod*

Miranda looks over and nods at the newcomer. She is wearing blue jeans and a long sleeved blue sweater with black doc martins. She then turns back to Power Armour and Trouble shooter to continue their conversation.

"Well. I can do this thing were I get covered in metal and summon wicked swords." Says Power Armour.
"Ah. Kids." Troubleshooter chuckles.
Sock-puppet-Man is busy, still, going over the rules, his woollen head moving side to side as he reads, his yarn lips mouthing some of the words as he goes.
