BRRT!BRRT!Ah!BRRT! Alarm Clock!BRRT!*Click!*
Why did? Where am? Ah, right, Worm. Plans! I had plans! I scramble up and look around. I'm still in the hotel, and there's no suit lady, so I'm assuming Cauldron hasn't found me yet. I've still got the costume on, so none of it was a dream at all. After zooming(heh) over to the bathroom, I splash some water over my face, and reveiw my agenda for the day.
1), check PHO for news about me. Knowing what the PRT has to say about me can determine what needs to be done next.
2), Obtain more money. The amount I took from the store will get me by for a while, but I'll need more in the future. Plan one is to sell information to Tattletale. Not sure how well that'll work, but it's better than nothing. Otherwise I'll need to hit one of the gang safehouses. I think E88 sounds good. No one likes nazis. No one.
3), Power testing. Knowing exactly what I can do will prevent anything like yesterday from happening.
After that, I have no clue. Well, better get busy. Even I only have a limited amount of time in the day.
Five wrong turns later, and I'm at what passes for a library in Brockton Bay. The buildings have clearly seen better days, but it's still impressive. Two stone statues that look like they were airdropped out of medieval Europe flank the front doors, which are made up of heavy wood. I think I saw a couple of shaved gangers back there, so I'm assuming that this is E88 territory, or at least claimed by them. I hope that they have working computers.
Walking in the front doors reveals a wide open space, with a computer lab(Yes!) on the left, while the rest of the space opens into the library itself. The front desk is a big wooden thing, with a bored 60-year oldish woman seated behind it. I walk up, and, making sure that my power's off, I clear my throat. The woman looks up from her book, surprised to see me.
"I'd like to use a computer."
She takes a moment to appraise me, before nodding and handing me a white card with a password on it. I was expecting her to tell me to get to school, but she seemed apathetic at best. Moving to the farthest computer back, I fire it up and login using the card. The web browser seems to be some version of Safari, but nothing I'm familiar with. It's easy enough to use though, and finding PHO is no hard feat in of itself. Unfortunately, sending messages is impossible, requiring an account. Well shit.
One junk email and completely inaccurate information filled out in the signup box later, and I'm set.

For all those unawares, Tyrant, a recently captured supervillain, was freed last night at roughly at 7:00 last night. See here for the PRT's official statement. Tyrant was freed by a new supervillain currently named 'Redbolt'. If anyone has information on him, then please contact the PRT here.

Redbolt is currently rated Mover 9, Brute 4, and Trump 2. Report say speedster, but how the hell does a speedster get a trump rating?

Let me tell you, 'Bolts terrifying. All you see when he moves is the red lighting he leaves behind, and he took out 10 guys and a cape in a second with no problems what so ever.

Well. Ten hospitalized. That...doesn't affect me as much as I thought it would.
Next thing to do is contact Tattletale. AllSeeingEye was her fanon contact info, and finding the account wasn't even hard. I paused before hitting the PM button. Was this the right thing to do? More importantly, what would the repercussions be if I went through with this? Well, in for a penny, in for a dime. Or something like that.
Zoom: Got info for you. Bring cash if interested. Brockton Public Library, back ally. Do not tell your boss
Private message from AllSeeingEye:

AllSeeingEye *New Message*: Who are you? OMW.
Well. Now the wheels are in motion.
A/N: Would of updated sooner, but I was busy. Also, tried to preserve formatting, though it's probably pretty ugly regardless.
