Putting it Together.
GK Walker had a list.

He went out on his Volunteer Work nights with the world's greatest pitcher/markswoman.
His beautiful disaster of a boyfriend had wings and a magic sword.
He once went on half a date with a charming transubstantiator hero brat.
His uncle knew this telepathic gorilla.

Can you say Citywide Vigilante Club, boys and girls?

Zoe was the place to start, of course.

"So," he said as they rendezvoused for the evening. "I have this idea."

	"Does Joey Mason want to be remembered?" What he said made sense. Despite her hopes, they really were 'like the buzzing of flies to Viggo!' and they weren't doing more than slapping bandages on the wound. "I mean, it sounds good, but are the others willing to risk being remembered?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Joey's used to it. His metagene's obvious, his family lives in some high-security lab, and he's bulletproof. Eli doesn't have family to worry about -- and I.. I really want to give him something to focus on besides thinking about his screwed-up background, you know? -- and the last guy's foreign." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zoe nodded. GK was happy with Eli, so she was obligated to make sure that Eli treated GK right. Screwy Triangle logic, but it worked for her. "I get that. About Eli and all. Who's the foreign guy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"His names Orgovar. Uncle Jed met him on one of his solo photo safaris. He's a telepath and, um," GK smiled sheepishly. "A talking gorilla." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Blink. Blink again. "He's a ... what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A talking gorilla. There's a whole bunch of them in Africa. Didn't you ever watch the news when we were kids and that Grodd guy was attacking places? One of those. Except not so much with the attacking places. He's playing tourist." It seemed like Zoe never watched anything but the most local news as a kid. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah. Okay. Well, yes. Sentient gorillas. With meta..gorilla powers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cue the imagined shaking of the GK. She loved the guy, but sometimes he was as unconnected to her reality as she must have been to his version of it. "I think gorilla would get a lot of attention. Between him and Joey Mason, there might be a spotlight fight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well if you think about it," GK attempted, "Psychic gorillas are probably much more subtle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe, but it'll give me a headache if I think about it. A psychic gorilla, a shiny guy, a guy with wings, and us. If I drank, this would be a good time to stop." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, it would." She gave him a half smile. "We could do some real damage with decent back-up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
