OMEGA: What is she doing, naming me the commander of this Legion?! Then an ancient Terran phrase from my father's studies comes to me... "stalking horse". The one that is set in front of the group as the target, to set off the traps so that the ones behind him are safe. Before I can object, guards show up -- and call me "the Prince from the dead planet"! Another part of her scheme to make me a more attractive target, but... what can I do about it? Nothing, it seems. "What do you seek, guardsmen?" I ask. <Tags!> |

VIOLET *I freeze and look to Rosa for her reaction to the guards showing up.She seems at ease so I relax and wait to see what happens.* |

![]() SIGHT JACK: The head guard passes by me as if I was not even there and walks up to Omega. “There is another compound to the north that have built a dam and is choking off our water supply. With the recent drought soon we will have no water to feed our crops. Our people will starve.” He said with stern humility. I frowned. I know of the town he is talking about. There has been a rivalry between these two villages. Something I would rather not get into the middle of. But seeing as I am doing the hero thing again I have little choice but to get mix up in these kinds of confutations. “We need you and your…” The guard lifted an eyebrow to myself and Salu, “ aw… men to take down the damn. We would be greatly in your dept.” Edited by Kittykaboom, Oct 3 2009, 06:40 PM.

OMEGA: Such a simple task, with my power... but what then will the village who built it do in retaliation? There has to be another way! "If we simply destroy the dam, then certainly that village will retaliate. Of what use is water to the dead?" I state solemnly. "But I do not refuse to help you -- I say that first we must find out from them why they've done this?" I look to the other Legionnaires. "Do you agree?" |

![]() SIGHT JACK: I could see gears of thought turning through the head guard’s mind as I looked through Omega’s eyes. That smile on his face told me all that he was thinking. He wanted Omega to destroy the competing village. “Yes of cores. A hero with a heart as pure as yours will see how truly evil The other colony is. I am sure a direct assault to the leader will solve many of the problems they have caused for us.” He said cunningly, “Tomorrow morning my commander would like to see you and discuses possible solutions to this problem. Till then I wish you and your comrades well.” He then gave a hand signal to his men and they headed out leaving us alone once again in the ruins of the former Legion headquarters. I gave a sigh, “ What do you think Salu?” |

OMEGA: I keep my mouth shut until the guard leader and his troops leave, then I finally let myself go. "And he expects by flattering me, he can get me to be his assassin?! If the lickspittle's too afraid to do anything, then what is he doing in command?" Then I shake my head, trying to get back under control. "My pardons, miladies... this isn't the time for violence from any of us." |

VIOLET *I feel myself smiling as i listen to Omega speak.I can almost see the emblem of Superboy himself on his chest as I hear the nobility and the Heroism burst forth with his words.I remembered when I was that young* "Rosa,I think we should do exactly what our new "Leader" suggested,I propose the 3 of us make a trip to these 2 villages and meet with the Leaders of the one who made the dam.I will support whatever decesions you 2 made." |

![]() SIGHT JACK: I smile at Violet. It is nice to have someone who was a real Legioner around. Omega has it in him to be a real hero, he is just has too little confidence in himself. Though the decision to make him leader was a sort of spur of the moment but I hoped it would give him confidence. It also helped take some of the burden off of me. “Sounds like a good idea to me Salu.” I sat back down and got comfortable, “I guess we can start the second meeting of the New Legion.” I still hoped there would be more members showing up but so far just seeing anyone here made my heart feel lighter. The New Legion was now no longer just a unattainable dream. It was coming together. “So far we have no real protocol. Hell, member ship is given out to anyone who shows up and wants to help. You don’t even need a superpower anymore, which I found to be sort of a stupid rule. You don’t need a superpower to be a hero. There is one rule however…” I paused. considering the circumstances to which Violet had quit the Legion and Omega personal feelings, this one rule needed to be discussed. “ Legion dose not kill.” I took a deep breath and tuned my head towards the main tower of the former Legion HQ, “No matter what.” |

VIOLET My heart glows when I hear Rosa's words.The memories quickly rush back and shame me as I remember the final horrid Legion meetign I had called,the words that were said,and my quitting as Icould no longer face my one time friends. "Yes I agree,Legion must NEVER kill,no matter what!!It was what Kal-El taught and is what brought me to Earth in the first place.What do you say Omega?" |

OMEGA: First I look to Sight Jack as she starts the meeting. "The outsiders are no longer here, commander. You don't need to keep calling me the leader -- that facade isn't necessary?" Then Violet speaks up about the point that we must not kill. "As I have said before to my commander, ma'am... I will abide by that rule." I tell her solemnly. |

![]() SIGHT JACK: I took a long drag from by cigarette and smiled. I was very glad Violet was here to help reinfoce the key value of the Legion. I still worried about Omega. Deep in his heart he did not feel the way we did. Perhaps, someday he would but it would take time. “Omega, what makes you think that calling you leader is the façade? Are you telling me you don’t want to be leader?” I give a wicked smile but don’t look up, “ I know it’s a little spure of the moment, but I think it would be the right choice. Don’t you think so Vi?” |

OMEGA: "Where do I begin?" I answer her first question with a question of my own. "You may say that I'm a leader till the end of time... but that doesn't make me one." I look to my commander. "And every test you've set me, whether of strategy or of combat? I've failed them!" My voice is bleak. "I am here because I cannot return to the life I'd had. I thought I could be a hero, but the best I can do is follow the true heroes. And that would be you two most honorable ladies. So no, I do not seek leadership." |

VIOLET I slowly smile asI see the logic in what Rosa is trying with young Omega.I turn to him and say "My young friend,I am sure Rosa has meaning for what she does.I would suggest you listen to her in this.I am past 40 now and havent fought in a long time.I think that it would do this NEW Legion good to have some new fresh young leadership.You have the 2 of us to help.DO not fight the idea so much" |

![]() SIGHT JACK: “You see what I have to work with?” I say to Vi with a smile. “I tell him he is good and he hears ‘you are bad.’ I tell him everything is ok and he hears ‘you failed.’ I tell him he is worthy to lead the New Legion and he hears, ‘you are a horrible wrench who has no hope of being a hero.’ Watch his face. even now his brain is finding a way to turn what I just said into an insult.” I start to laugh knowing how much discomfort I am causing Omega. I’d feel bad but I know this is good for him. “No Omega, you will make a great leader, faults and all. You may be green behind the ears but your heart is pure. We can not force you to accept leadership but I can tell you this. It is a very good idea.” Edited by Kittykaboom, Oct 25 2009, 05:01 PM.

OMEGA: My commander was so swift to point out my errors before? This supposed change of heart must only be for the benefit of Violet, the veteran Legionnaire... I suppose I'll have to play along, until the charade is exposed. And on that day, I hope it is only my life forfeit, and not theirs -- and certainly I hope no innocents are harmed by my failure! Responsibility settles over me like a lead-cloth cloak, hunching my shoulders under its weight. "As... you insist." There; with my own words I have doomed myself. |
