May the Universe grant us health; we can steal the rest (X-Factor)
After she had seen them on television, she'd gone into her bedroom for a long heart to heart with Daddy. He was so happy, so proud. They'd laid down the ground rules -- lots and lots of rules, or it wouldn't be any good, after all.

Now for the opening move. She had a meeting with some of the Foundation for a Finer Life's best and brigh--- well, they were good boys, anyway. Nice boys. They tried hard; and that's all Phoebe was asking for.

Starting that night and continuing throughout the week, there was a surge in break-ins, burglaries, and vandalism in the area of town surrounding X-Factor's new home/studio.
Three churches -- all coincidentally connected by their contributions to such things as 'sexuality rehabilitation' centers -- ransacked with 'Glass Houses!' spray-painted in bright yellow on the inner walls. Numerous stores robbed only of their entire supply of cigarettes, with 'Nasty Habit!' painted across the empty storage display cases in the same bright shade.
Scores of cars stolen from a parking lot that had been made just a few months before by paving over greenspace, with 'Ride a Bike!' in yellow.

Every single security camera anywhere near any scene of the crime had been taken as well.

By the end of the week, letter with no fingerprints or return address will be delivered to the plaza which reads simply,
'Welcome to the neighborhood. And nobody hurt yet. Ain't we sweet?'

As usual, Pauline is able to speak his language pretty well. "Ok, fair enough. A little investigation I can handle."

Lisa saunters in, reading over a newspaper article on the vandalism spree. She's positively bubbly, giggling to herself delightedly.

"Have you guys followed up on all this?" She holds up the headline page. "This is hilarious."

"It's more ugly than hilarious," Jason commented as he walked in.

“I can’t understand why someone would be doing this,” Harry says when he comes in and joins the conversation.

"I can. Have you seen the 'protest' laws? There's almost no legitimate forum to actually protest this stuff, especially if its in a commercial zone. Doubly so if the place makes enough money or looks churchy enough to please the city fathers. Its not funny, its sad."

Julian nodded to everyone as they came in, working the situation out in his mind. Someone wanted attention, but more so, they wanted X-Factor's attention.

"So...if we investigate these goings-on, we give them the attention they want by dint of trying to find them. If we don't investigate, we still give them attention, as well as reason to try something bigger and louder to get us to notice them next time." Julian reasons.

"So, what does everyone think? It seems like we're damned if we do and damned if we don't."

Lisa drapes herself over one of the couches, gears turning in her head.

"I say we try to bring them on board with us, if they're a mutant. Get some good PR with the left wing crowd for the sentiment they're broadcasting, and give ourselves cred with the other side for the 'social justice' end of things, bringing a misguided individual lashing out at the world under our caring and selfless wing." She puts a hand to her chest at the last bit, letting her voice flutter a bit.

"We don't know them, we don't know if they're mutants, we don't know if we could work with them... though I might be able to, who knows. I doubt they want to be recruited... they have a cause, and they want attention. I say we don't make any decisions now. Let's investigate, quietly, bring back what we find out, and decide then?"

Pauline looks up and nods rather intently after DJ speaks. "I still just want to go down and look and that's all for now."

“I’m not sure that there is much that I could do to help in investigating but whatever I can do to help just let me know,” Harry said earnestly.

"DJ's got the right of it, for the moment. We figure out who these people are, and then decide how to deal with them. I have think that if they wanted to be part of the team, and they were mutants, they might have asked directly. It's not like we're hard to find." he says.

"You three find out what you can, and the rest of us will keep on business as usual." Julian offers.
