t in, the dispatcher did say Agent Wraith of the UNWS would be present you dumb shit! But oh no! You and your men show up and try arrest me? Grow a fucking brain cell you dumb shit!” Saurian went off on the officer in charge. The officer looked like he wanted to smash Saurian with a large hammer but kept his mouth shut.

“Now! Why don't you call for additional help with the assailants and try to not let the corrupt cops go because I wasn't lying when I said I already sent the incriminating evidence to IA. So no don't think you can just scurry them away.” Saurian growled at the last few words as he continued to read the taint on the officer's soul. The officer's face went purple with rage but continued to keep his mouth shut. He turned on his heel and walked off to request more units.

Saurian cast Invisibility on himself before he released the compelled officers. They all shouted out a storm of profanities and attempted to look for him. But Saurian had already climbed the building where the kid was. He cast an obstruction glamour around them both so they could talk in peace. He re appeared behind the kid who screamed in surprise!

“Holy fuck! I mean I know Superman has powers but you are on another level of shit! I mean...Ahem. Thank you sir for the help! May I know what you wanted to talk to me about?” The kid asked. Saurian could tell the kid wanted to go on another rant but held it in check.

“Whats the money for?” Saurian asked as he adjusted himself and crouched down. He used his tail as a sort of balance tool so he wouldn't fall over in front of the kid.

“Me! My mother said to take the money from the bad guys. Super Heroes don't get paid, so take from the bad and use it for the good.” The kid answered honestly, he didn't look embarrassed about it either like it was just a normal fact.

“What's your name? Title, code name, moniker is fine.” Saurian smiled at the kids responses.

“Fantasma!” The kid said with a smile and stood up straighter with his hands on his hips. Saurian tilted his head to one side. Saurian reached out and snagged the kid before he could react. He cast Fabrication, Renew, Alteration, and Compression Transformation.

Comments: You've given a rookie a master level item. What a great way to keep him both alive, and to send him to an early grave!

Fantasma soon had kevlar hard leather outfit with combat boots, leather pants, leather coat, with a hood, and mask. Flexible metal plates went from his legs, chest, arms, hands, back, hood, and mask. It gave him a skeleton look, as tendrils of shadow curled from his 'bones'. Saurian stepped away and produced a Phantasm mirror so Fantasma could see himself. The kid flipped out at the cool new threads, then his Disposition flipped to friendly and Saurian made a Temporary Pack Bond with the kid. So he would get the 10% optimization.

“So, would you like to join the Justice League?” Saurian asked, he kept the mirror conjured so Fantasma could admire himself.

“The Justice League!? I didn't know it had been formed yet!” Fantasma said, the VI Avatar was showing. That was something a User would say, and it bled through to the Avatar.

“Oh fuck ya! I'd love to join! Oh wait. Do I have to leave Vegas? Its my home!” Fantasma said.

“No you don't. We'll just have to determine if you are an active, or reserve. Active means you are stationed in a area but can be called upon for larger threats. Reserve means you primarily work in an area and will only be called on to act if we are in dire need.” Saurian informed him. He then took Fantasma's phone and put an encrypted line into it. Password, voice, and optical scan protected, and got him into the Justice League chat channel.

Saurian sent a introduction note into the channel and a few people responded in less then a minute. Robin, and Batgirl specifically they were most likely patrolling or at home doing what ever they do. Saurian snagged the bags of money and a 'car' that he made from stuff lying around. He drove Fantasma home his apartment building. He even set up the salary payment method for the new member. It wasn't much, but something was better than nothing. Bruce had even updated the file to allow health insurance. Groovy.

Saurian dissembled the ready made car and went up to Fantasma's apartment. It was a small little one bedroom. But it was home, the land lord knew about Fantasma's extracurricular activities after the kid had saved his family from a gang abduction. So Fantasma was allowed to use the emergency fire escape to come and go. Saurian offered to find him a more sizable location but Fantasm was happy with what he had. So Saurian updated his computer with a advanced computer set up with an encrypted channel, police feed, and Justice League network. He made a concealed wall compartment for his new gear, and place to store his stuff. This way if this place was ever searched it would take a lot of effort to get into the safe.

“So, just to get this out of the way. If you take what I have given you and you turn into a villain I will track you down and kill you. Understand?” Saurian said very seriously to Fantasma. The kid didn't even balk at the idea.

“You? My mother would skin me alive if I even tried!” Fantasma said with a grimace. Saurian laughed at the idea. He soon bid goodbye to the newest recruit, Fantasma a meta-human with teleportation.

Saurian found a suitable tree in the neighborhood and used Tree Stride back to Gotham City. He was home again and it was nearly morning. He used Connectivity and sent a text message to Li'Ana. He said he was going to be leaving again soon but wanted to see her before he left. He understood it was late notice but wanted to try. He got a reply when he had just reached the underground parking garage, it was five in the morning.

'I can come over now if that is alright?' Li'Ana messaged him back.

'Sure, just got home as it is. See you soon.' Saurian replied and swapped back to Lash who turned into his default human form. Removed his Wraith disguise and made a simple appearance for any randoms he would encounter in the elevator to his door. Better safe then sorry as he reached his door and stepped inside. He cast Immaculate on himself because his security system informed him that someone was on his balcony. That was quick? He came around the corner and sure enough Li'Ana was on the balcony clearly vibrating with excitement.

“Dawn was right, she did miss me!”
