Lights Take Flight
With their escape from the Manhunter world, the heroes and the new lights returned to the planet Oa. There, for the benefit of Jess and Lenny, Ganther reiterated what he had told the others, about the origins of the entities and their powers.

"You have," he began, "the potential for much greatness, to usher in a new age for mankind. The strength of your people, united fully with the emotional spectrum...

"It is the first step to a glorious destiny. My brothers have asked that I guide you."

A half truth. Though they had no authority to, they had tasked him with watching over them. It was the only way to keep them free. He would do this, because it was right, not because they wanted him to.

"I will help you. With your powers, with your place in this world. With those who would come after you. And I will seek to understand all that has happened to you, to help you however I can."

"What say you?"

	"I have... nothing else left." Saishu answers, focusing very hard on following the words everyone else is saying. English is a bitch of a language, and its not even her third or fourth. She gets the gist, anyway though. "No one. So these... I protect with life. Did not ask for red power... will take it. Others... you fight or not. Til you are normal, I protect."

.....Please excuse, Cindy, everyone. She's busy staring like that's the sweetest thing she's ever heard and she can't take her eyes off the hot Amazon chick. Because. Um. Yeah.

"Look. Harry. Don't start worrying on me," she eventually manages. "You need advice on how the crazy indigo stuff works, you ask Mr. Ganthet here. You need someone to kick the ass of anybody coming after you, Saishu's....obviously got you covered. You need a place to come practice, or to stay, or a cover story with your folks, I'm on it."

	Lenny can't really muster any enthusiasm. He seemed to just sit in his chair, staring at his hands, as the others talked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"To help you sort out your powers, and your new place in this world," Ganthet agreed. "And for mutual protection. Your world... is very special. And your abilities prove it. That the fragments of the Entities have reached out to you... suggests that something of great significance is on the horizon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah.... but we'll need to figure out the details I guess, are we a team or something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I...thanks," he mumbles at Cindy. It's not just how out of his depth this feels, it's that he has nothing to offer. He's not a fighter, he has no special knowledge or resources and he feels a little useless because of it all. But if he had to be on a team it was nice that he had such dependable people to work with. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The quick talk and trying to follow the English is starting to give her a headache, leading Saishu to pace a little while people talk, not entirely unlike a wildcat in a cage. She knows her role in all this. The rest is details. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure, I guess we're a team, but we're not throwing any of you into the superheroing pool sink or swim right away again," Cindy says. "Saishu, you'd be willing to help the others eventually learn to defend themselves a little, I trust?" she asks in French. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Saishu perks up, eyes lighting, responding quickly in much more comfortable French. "Yes... of course. If I am to help protect them, it would be easier if they learn to fight. I will help all I can... fighting is what I do well." So much easier. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is not my intention for you to simply be another team of so-called 'super-heroes'... but if that is what fate has in store, then I will not fight it. For now... we shall begin by discovering just what you are and finding your place, and moving from there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	So he had gone from Keystone kid to being part of a superhero team? He wasn't cut out for being a superhero but...better to stick together. Harry shrugs nervously, "I'm in too I guess." What else could they do anyway? He just hopes nobody decides to give them particularly bad superhero or team names. (Reply to this)(Parent)
