Agent echo gets the cab fair paid by Doctor hastings and heads to Hastings home. Barbara (mrs) Hastings is finishing cleaning up and greets Echo at the door. She says, "yes I got a call from my husband if you follow me I will show you the room." She instead leads you outside to the garage and next to the garage is a set of stairs. She goes up them and it leads to a door. She unlocks it and leads Agent echo into a nice room. The room is carpeted with a ice box, a sofa, and a small black and white television. On the far side of the room, is a small bed and a chest of drawers. Mrs Hastings says, "my husband thinks highly of you so welcome. We serve lunch at noon and dinner at 6. We do respect your privacy but if you want to join us for meals excellent. The garbage pickup is at 5 and any guests you bring we ask you keep the noise down. There is a space heater in the closet and the window by the bed does open. Also in the chest of drawers are some spare clothes and some towels. You can use the bathroom with the shower on the first floor. Also my daughter Judy will be home after school so please make sure I am home so you do not startle her. "

After class, lots of the girl students approached John with questions, as they usually did. Most of them were superficial questions and John batted out answers as quickly as he could to disperse them. That left Rose, who walked back with him to his office.
"I wasn't sure what to make of today's class," she said. "You usually teach from the perspective of the criminal, and then today you were focused on superheroes. Unless...you were asking us to question the moral authority of superheroes? But that sounds like my philosophy class."
"I expect you to question everything, Rose. But, no, the morality of vigilantism isn't where I was going with class today."
"You seemed really upset about the article."
"As observant as ever. Yes...there are huge gaps in what the police know, or the press knows, or what we're being told here that is bothersome..."
Rose could see that the professor was deep in what appeared to be troubled thoughts at the moment, so she left him at his office door. Professor Raymond needs to know more about this, she thought. I wonder if I could help...
((From April 17: "I can come back here tomorrow night to meet up with you boys again and plan..." So, yes, we will rendezvous whenever you move us to the evening.))

Charlie didn't like how this was shaping up one bit. He couldn't leave Mike alone with the two goons here who had already threatened the kid.
The only thing he could think to do was to watch the race and keep an eye on Mike and the two thugs at the same time. Charlie walked over to the kid, "Hey mike, your old man is getting ready to race."
(OOC sorry for the delay, been crazy busy this week)

The 8 man bike race starts and the racers have to complete ten laps. The first few laps go without incident. Then racer two and racer three collide and both bikes are taken out of the race. The next three laps then go without incident. Throughout the race Mike gets a drink and a pretzel. The two well dress men are watching the race. One of them has a pair of binoculars and is studying the race. Around the start of the 9th lap, one of the well dressed men gets up and heads into the pit area but hangs around the parameter. Charlie can see the man does have a concealed revolver and he is occasionally looking at you and Mikey. Towards the end of the 9th lap it is Dave (racer 8) in first and Racer one in 2nd place. On the final lap, Dave seems to be in the lead and looks to win but for some reason he takes the first turn a little too fast and manages to get control and not get hurt but Racer one passes him. The rest of the lap finishes with Dave in 2nd place. Charlie sees the well dressed armed man, nod to his associate and both men exit the pit and their seat and are heading for the exit. Based on Charley skill in mechanics, Dave did not have an accidental mishap, hopefully no official saw this.
( we can continue this thread but for watching over Mikey and keeping him safe does allow exp, since this was a good deed. Plus this subplot will continue. )

Okay so the race ends at 330 pm. The professor finishes his school around the same time and we can say Agent echo is now situated in his new home and has confirmed from the hospital that Phyliss did make it and not die
Any evening plans or rendezvous?

"Congratulations Dave. Looks like you'll live to race another day," Charlie said as Dave walked his bike back into the pit area.
The other man looked sheepish and didn't want to meet Charlie's gaze. "Thanks, I guess." he said.
"Listen, I don't like this business with those goons, but I'll be with you at your next races. If you need anything before then call my shop. If I'm not there, call Jimmy Garcia, the bartender at the Legion Post downtown. He'll get a message to me."
Charlie got on his own bike, kicked it to life, gassed it and rumbled off, back to his shop.

Dave says " thanks man for understanding my situation"
Arrowhead makes it easily back to his shop.
So I can fast forward to evening so all heroes meeting back at Arrowhead's shop?

((Yes. Professor John Raymond stops for dinner somewhere (other than Simply Mings), then appears later at Arrowhead's shop -- as The Web!))

"Thank you, mam. The name's Leo Nixon. If you see my light on and you need some help around the house please let me know." Leo's instinct to come back to his city of birth was validated. Originally it was to find out more about where he came from, but now he knew in his manufactured heart that the people here were worth fighting for. With his new allies there would be plenty of time to help others, investigate his origins, and stop crime.
Leo made sure he didn't surprise Judy when she came home, put on the only set of clean duds, and, as the sun was getting low, set out 'the back' alley in his civvies, just to test out the route. He changed into Agent Echo before entering the Arrowcave.

The Agent of Sound scouted the outside of the garage. Perhaps A-head would be up for digging a tunnel into another building nearby for a secret entrance/exit. This would take either a lot of time, or a lot of money. He had lived so long without much he was starting to see that would need to change.
"Hey guys." He entered, hoping they were both in costume too.

The Web showed up about six minutes after Agent Echo, also in costume (and glad the others were too).
"Echo, Arrowhead," The Web said, preferring to address them by their vigilante names when in costume. "I trust everyone had productive days?"

"Kind of productive. I've ran into a small gangster operation. Nothing major, I should be able to get to the bottom of it in the next two weeks or so," Arrowhead said.
"So what's our next course of action with our old business?"

"Right," The Web said, ready to abandon small talk and get down to business. "We're not done looking into that drug ring yet, but our priorities need to shift back to finding the bomber. Drugs are insidious, but turning students into criminals is even worse, in my opinion. We know the bomber is a teacher and we know what school he teaches at. Given the complexity of the devices being used in the robberies, it makes sense the bomber is one of the scientist teachers -- though that is only a good guess, not something we can take as fact.
"So, to get on that, we need eyes in the school. Agent Echo has already made one intelligence gathering foray for us. We can also try breaking in and searching offices there.
"It would also be a good idea to start patrolling at night again. We know the bomber is likely to strike again as soon as he has a new recruit corrupted."
