Civilian Management: Alpha Flight
Before entering the building he reads his personnel file one more time.  Randy was always more intuitive with these files then he was.  If he didn't feel the ex-MP was the only one he could trust Bryan would never have shared a damn thing with a civilian, even if it wasn't Randy's fault. 

Jeez, it was a year ago.  They'd sent his fiancĂ©e into so-called a domestic disturbance call.  It turned out to be a hostage situation and the punk targeted Randy.  Being a generous soul, Randy wrote the whole thing off as a bad coincidence - just something that could happen to any cop, much less one around a highly armed population.  Bryan was more cynical.  He thought Sir - his nickname for his dad - might have hand in it.  Randy, of course, make a joke about Bryan's paranoia at the very idea.  What he hadn't told the love of his life is that Sir offered a command and promotion if he found someone more "military wife" material. 

Besides, Randy could have been the next Tony Stark.  The Vinicator suit performed a lot better after a week in their basement.

Well Sir, he thought You wanted me serving my country honorably?  How do you like this?   He walks into his new command, literally wrapped in the flag.  Let the fun begin.

He glances at the hand for a moment before resuming eye contact. "Were you informed of my arrival, Bochs?"

"Jordan," And the tiny violet-complected girl, coming across the atrium, stopping, and sinking into the floor was likely in some of those files as Melanie Hall, 16-year-old daughter of a former Alpha Flight member and a Swiss nurse with somewhat...irregular immigration paperwork.

Mel, of course, has no information on the man who'd just walked into the room, besides recognizing what he was wearing, so she just stared up nervously and tried to get her feet out of the floor before those nerves became palpable in the air.

A very large lion followed Mel. Alex was on his way to the "Temple". A Christmas Story was coming on in a few minutes and it was one of Alex's favorite movies. He stopped when he saw Mel melt into the floor and saw Jordan talking to a stranger.

//Hey.//

He nods to Jordan before addressing the other two. "Alexander, Hall...I've been assigned to your unit -" He blinks once. "I mean 'hero team -'" He addresses them all. "My name is Lt. Bryan Whittaker. I don't know what you've heard yet, but I'm to take on the identity of Vindicator and to offer you leadership and strategy." Among other things.

Alex shifted to chimp and held out a hand. //Hello, Lieutenant.//

He's not sure what to make of the handshakes. Protocol is to wait for a superior to reach out a hand. If it's not offered you do not extend your hand. He's going to have to adjust his brain to civilians. Briefly, he shakes Bochs hand and then the shapechanger's.

Of course they didn't inform the unit of a command change! Why make this easy? "Then this is going to be a bit of a shock. Where is the rest of the team? I should go over this with all of you at the same time."

Lt. Whittaker at least does not have to worry about an unsolicited handshake from Mel. Or...much of unsolicited anything from Mel except blinking.
At the question, though, "Don't know if Mason and Marrina are home yet," she says, still very quietly. "Pretty sure Emily's gone out for a while."

Alex didn't know much about military procedure or protocol, but he did like being treated as a person and not a pet. //They're still out. I haven't caught their scents in awhile.// Alex shifted into the familiar beagle.

"They're out for a while, for the moment, people were given some R&R after the situation in Newfoundland. It shouldn't be too hard to catch them up."

He nods. "I'll wait." He then remembers to add. "Thank you."

"'kay." Pause. Breath. Finally. "Is it okay if I go back to the kitchen now?" What she was going to ask Jordan wasn't really important.

Alex looked at Mel. He could smell that she was upset. He'd make it a point to talk to her. //Do you need a tour of the place or be shown to quarters?//

He's read the specs, but, "If you could. Bochs, can you call the others and let them know to come back to post, please."

"Yeah, I'll let them know so you can get everyone caught up, Lieutenant. Meanwhile, if you want the specs for the facility, or to have your quarters set up, just let us know."

"Much appreciated," he says. "But I will be living mostly off-site. I have someone staying with me and we both like our privacy."

//We have quarters big enough for two and we respect boundaries and privacy.// Alex started walking off, not bothering to check to see if the boss was following.

Emily walks through the door, her arms laden with bags, smiling broadly. "I've got presents..." she begins to sing, then drops off as she sees the new person.

"Who's this?" she frowns.

"Emily, this is Lt. Whittaker, he just got here and he's the new Vindicator but he's not going to stay all the time because of Matters at Home." Mel mutters to Emily quietly. She certainly understood about the privacy part; Dad would have died if he'd had to live with Mom here; Lt. Whittakers girlfriend or whatever probably felt the same. But she couldn't go around saying that.

"That's correct, Lt. Whittaker has actual field and command experience, and will be leading field operations from here forward."
Of everyone, Jordan seems to be taking to it pretty well.

Emily drops her bags. Something glass breaks in one of the bags.

"Oh, hell no! You don't just get to waltz in here and claim to be our boss. We already have a leader." She moves up to face off with Whittaker.

"Emily." Jordan's voice is unusually stern. "Yes, he does. We are neither self-funded, nor a democracy. The Department can alter the roster or put anyone they want in charge. Its been an honor to act as leader, and I appreciate the confidence you all put in me, but the Lieutenant has every right to the job."
