Coming Together
The cold winter wind blew through the streets of New York and over rooftops. The cold and the wind was a sharp contrast to the warm Southern California weather she and Argo just stepped out of. She immediately spotted Nicholas.

"Are you okay?" she asked Argo. "Sometimes people do not react well to teleporting."

	"Perhaps we should start with the superhero teams?" Irina suggested. "Make sure none of them are duplicated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mine Defenders comrades didst not seem changed," Argo volunteered, "but perhaps I know them not well enough to tell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's the point. No one would be able to tell. The duplicates are perfect in every way, except they have no soul. I can track them, or the nearest one, but Mephisto can sense me too, so sooner or later, we'll meet resistance." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's right. I say we start with the teams that are the quickest to get to from here. And we play it careful. The duplicates could be heavy power houses that could seriously injure some of us," Eliza says with a very thoughtful look crossing her face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Possible. Ultimately, we need to track down Pluto's priest here on Earth. Get the artifact, we undo the spell, we destroy the duplicates. To do that, we need something to go on though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We may want to clear the heroes first, then see where we go from there. Maybe do some digging into politicians and see if we find any sudden change in behavior." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, but we need to be careful. Heroes keep touch with each other, one wrong move, and word gets out what we're up to. I'm not exactly subtle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The duplicates, would their minds be similar to that of their of their real counterparts?" Lyta asked, cupping her chin in her hand. If she could use her telepathy.... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-31 05:45 am UTC (link)
	"Similar, though obviously they're in on the conspiracy if you can probe deep. You can definitely get closer to most people than I can. I can pick them out with a look - the lack of souls, but only in this form. Anyone you'd suspect?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll start with the X-Men," she said, "I can use my telepathy without them knowing that I'm even doing it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What about the Avengers, Defenders, the Fantastic Four and Alpha Flight?" Irina asked. "What about politicians and other authority figures? How do we get close to them?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You're not going to get that deep into everybody without their noticing, Lyta. All the adults have too much experience with psychic interaction...or are copying off someone else's experience with psychic interaction. And then there's Rae... I mean...not that I want to think about everyone, and Rae, being soulless doppelgangers..."

Corey's not incredibly happy right now.

	"Our own teammates shouldst trust us," Argo said. "We would need but ask, and they wouldst let us scry upon them. And if they doth refuse, we then have our proof." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-01-03 04:48 am UTC (link)
	"Refusal isn't proof they were duplicated," Irina countered. "I know I would not want someone going through my mind even if I weren't a duplicate. We need to be very careful about this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta wrinkled her nose. "Damn. I probably could have thought that out better..." She sighed. "Shit. This is harder than it seems." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"At last with the politicians, using telepathy subtley will be a lot easier. They wouldn't know any of the ways to recognize it. And you're Lyta Freaking Worthington, so you've probably got some kind of Rich Person Bonus to the likelihood of their being willing to stand around and talk to you."

Corey thinks. "But Nicholas, you said we'd be going to whichever of these things was closest?"

"We can either go for specific targets, or I can find whichever is closest. They're a supernatural evil - I can home in on them, but it'll only lead me to whichever one is closest if we do it that way. If that's a super hero dupe, then its a hero dupe, if its someone else, its someone else. When we deal with that one, I could home in on the next closest, but not before. Alternately, if you can get me a look at people, I'll know if they have a soul or not at a glance, but only as the rider, so subtle isn't possible doing it that way."

	"Let's go for whoever is closet right now. Then we can think about how to work on the teams." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo nodded. "As good an idea as we art likely to have for now. Let us be off." (Reply to this)(Parent)
