Treason?
There were times that she hated this job. This being one of them, but this came from the top. They couldn't afford a blow like this to the still relatively new JLI project. She sent a message to the Hall of Justice to expect her arrival.

	"Sorry I'm late," Cian says as he comes flying into the room. It had taken him some time to get off work but this seemed important. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"What's going on?" Dex asked as he came out from the kitchen drinking a beer. Then belched loudly.

Ms. Franklin just looked at Dex with a combination of annoyance and disgust before turning back to Lizzy.

"I suspect Mr. Palmer will be here shortly. As for Mr. Fang..he was deliberately misled regarding the importance of this meeting," she confessed. "He will not be here until a little later."

"Din should be around somewhere." Petra answers, double-checking the copy of his schedule she keeps.

"Din is frequently around here somewhere," agrees a voice from on high as the grate of one of the ventilation shafts is flipped open and a tiny figure rappels down the wall, pulling it shut again behind him. He begins growing to his 'human' height part way down, and disengages the thread of a rope with a tug of his hand before tucking it away in one of the pouches on his belt. He nods formally to Ms. Franklin as he takes a seat.

She 'suspects' he'll be here shortly, does she? He'll find that bug, don't think he won't.

"Okay, engaging security protocols," Barbie says. "So unless Din wants me to belt high E for that particular brand of surveillance equipment, let's talk about why you're deliberately misleading people, to start with."

"A fair place to start, Ms. Queen." Alice opens her briefcase, pulling out a labtop. "We received word from the Chinese government. They're demanding Mr. Fang turn himself over to them on a charge of treason." She turns on the computer. "As evidence they have this footage."

The footage showed Xian speaking with what looked like Chinese government officials in a non-descript building. In an instant Xian transformed and proceeded to brutally beat the officials to death before turning toward the camera and throwing his staff at it.

"Did they indicate what methods they used to verify that this isn't the work of a shapeshifter or an illusionist?" Dinadan asks, steepling his fingers. It certainly seemed like unlikely behavior from Xian, but surely they wouldn't charge him without something other than security footage?

"The footage is real, Mr. Daly," Franklim replied. "As to whether the person in the video truly is Mr. Fang or not has not been 100% confirmed. However, the Chinese Consulate wants him to surrender to their custody until this can be either confirmed or denied."

As if on cue that's when Xian comes by just outside the closed room.

"Hello? Is everything all right? Why is the meeting room locked?"

Pippi caught a few bits of that as she returned with her sewing kit.

"Run, Xian! They want to remove your skin! And I need to sew things before they unravel!"

She made a mental note to talk to the Director about some of the people on this team.

"Ms. Peppers misunderstands, Mr. Fang. Perhaps it is time you joined this meeting."

"Anyone who wants to question Xian is more than welcome to come here and do it. We'll place him under house arrest, with at least two of us watching him at all times. Meanwhile, this video should be sent to a neutral party forensics unit to start looking for any signs of who the real culprit is. For that matter, where is this even supposed to be? Who are the alleged victims? Have any measures been taken to preserve evidence? How was this footage secured, and how did it come to the Party's attention?"

Petra finally addresses Xian.

"Just politics. You sit tight, handsome."
