Vivian waits quietly to hear what the response on Lex's statement is. It was pretty clear that if Lex was taking his leave, Vivian would be going with him. 'I have very little that tells me I can trust Powell and these other strangers.' she thinks to herself.

Powell's response is flat, but firm. "You misunderstood - I simply met I will not ask you to partake in anything illegal. I am an absolute believer in free will sir; you may do as you please. I simply wish to aid."

"Besides, the past is that, the past. Especially since I've just met you, as far as I know, you, now, is all I need to know. And as for our patron here, as long as the illegal acts fall upon those committing illegal acts, I think it works out to be legal, no?"

Lex let out a bit of a sigh, " Was worried there. I beleive in upholding the law for the most part, but prohibition is .., well, stupid. Not to mention most of the cops are crookeder than the gangsters." He glanced at Rex, nodding in agreement. " So, do we go our seperate ways until he calls and work on our own, or do we start working together to clean this city up?"

(( OOC-> Point taken about Viv, thought I posted much earlier but I guess it didn't go up. I'll work under the assumption The Scarecrow didn't recognize her ))
The Scarecrow continues to observe (and wait to follow our mysterious host) he listens to what Lex says with interest. He has mixed opinions about the prohibition, he doesn't find any real fault in the intent given that pretty much everything that goes along with alcohol and drunkeness is negative when you get down to it. In terms of implementation however, he thinks the country tried to pass the laws too soon, without adequete law enforcement to deal with the logical repercussions like organized crime.
That said, he hasn't yet seen Lex do anything wrong, and he wouldn't chase down someone for enjoying a drink now and again. He also does appreciate his gusto in wanting to clean the city up, which is exactly what The Scarecrow wants.
The Scarecrow's astral form continues to watch.

Powell simply nods. "You may work as you see fit - together or seperately. From time to time I will provide you information and resources. In exchange, one day I will ask you to stand by me when I have a great need of you."
Dark Rider has put his mask back on. "You expecting a ruckus?"
"Something like that, Mr. Rider. Something much like that."

Lex chuckled as he pulled his cowl back on. " I expect a ruckus every time I put this get up on." He looked at the other invitees, " So I we help out if and when we cross paths then? At least until Mr. Powell decides he needs our help. Too bad there wasn't a way we could contact one another if we got into a mess. Can't see finding time to run for a phone booth to call in the calvary if something go awry. Not that the phone company is reliable anyways."

"Strength in numbers, and divided we fall after all. Plus, we each probably have talents and skills the others do not."

Vivian remains silent as she waits for Powell to answer Lex's questions.

Powell looks to Lex and smiles softly. "you are correct. for now, our means of mutual contact will remain limited. However, such imaginative persons as yourselves will no doubt find some means if the necessity arises. I thank you all for your time, but I feel unless there is something else to address, it would be best to leave it here for now."

"I can't think of anything," shrugs Mr. Colt.

"I'm good," then Lex had to smirk," unless you want to front some cash to improve my workshop. Especially if it looks like I'll be designing and arming a few more people and won't have mob money coming in any more." He added, though the first thing on his agenda was some sort of armor for Vivian

Powell takes a moment to consider Lex's request. "A small loan may be possible. I will need to speak with my money people to see if there is a way to do it without creating a trace. I thank you all for your time."
The Dark Rider nods. "Well, that was nice. Be seeing you folks." As he leaps out the window he crashed through originally.

Lex looked at Vivian. " Should be going too, the young lady gets even crankier if I keep her out too late." He smirked and headed out the way he had come.

Bows as if on stage, leaves by the front door after a brief pause to look for hostiles, then off to a car parked discretely away.
