Owner Pose
Yulee Jefferson In the wake of the Intergang incident, Metropolis Police are working overtime to quantify the threat against the city. A crime syndicate, alien weaponry, and unknown variables from several sources. At Sullivan Place, the District Attorney's office is playing hardball, sending out their ADAs to various police precincts in the city, contacting government officers federal, state, and local, and coordinating with superhero groups that were involved in the attack. SHIELD is going to want a piece of this, if Yulee thinks what happened has happened, but Yulee has ordered a strict order to his entire team to 'keep a lid on this until the boys at STAR Labs figure out if it's a bison or a buffalo'. He's really hoping it's not a yak.

Yulee sits in his office, the short of stature old man behind a small black desk, the city behind him as the night twinkles. The office cubicles outside his corner stronghold are a-flurry with voices, telephone sounds, and computer keys, while police officers and federal agents move freely through the aisles.

"Yes, Mr. Mayor, I assure you, STAR Labs can handle this. No, sir, LexCorp can't touch a lick of this, I don't care if Mr. Luthor is a contributor." He pauses, listening, face turning red as he boils in anger. "Well you just tell Superman that we lose an indictement because City Hall works with someone that once fired a poor factory worker in Borneo!" There's shouting on the phone, and Yulee hangs up, turning away with a shake of his head and a sigh.

He loosens his tie and stands, moving out of his office and through the cubicles. "Keep up the evaluation of the training tactics, top," Yulee says to a nearby fire marshall as he passes by, heading towards the soda machine.
Kaelyn Kae is currently well, she's at the site, having chosen not to leave. Still though she's been trying to at least talk to and help with the officers here, giving her insites as to what's going on and how the weapons worked.... Now she does get a strange look whenver she says she's not empowered, or a meta, or mutant even iff through eye witness it was noted that somehow she deflected a large beam aiming at her and she was flinging blue bolts of light from what looked to be a warhammer. Still the redhead goes on trying to explain the power of these weapons and whatnot, getting a rather incredulous eye, specially considering that well on video she really just appears to be a blurr..

And oddly enough, folks don't seem to recognize her easily after walking away for some reason... At least they remember the pertinent information, you know, alien weaponry, power levels all that kinda thing... Kae is seated at a bench, still at the scene of the crime as she keeps on getting told to stay after being questioned, and then the folks forget they questioned her, but at least they keep her notes... In some way this is kind of ammusing to the woman, other ways it's annoying. Still the tired redhead hangs around, sipping her soda and waiting.

Finally after having dealt with police and whatnot, and questioning and re-questioning, Kae just stands after being forgotten -again-... She looks around and steps behind a pole and suddenly appears stepping out from behind a pole in the attorney general building... She glances around and ummms, and ahah's smiling happily as she walks up to the secretary and asks "Sooo Kin I speak too..." she glances around and notices the writing on windows "Mr. Jefferson I have some information he might want on the intergang issues?" At this point of course she probably gets someone's attention as it's definately not shown she walked through any checkpoints.
Yulee Jefferson Yulee pushes a button on the soda machine, and is served a can of RC Cola. He insisted, when he first came to the office, that all soda be obscure brands that cost less than a contract with a vendor, as a way to save money. In reality, he just has very eccentric tastes, and wanted a show of power at the office to set the new tone after his election.

The secretary looks up, blinking in surprise, and gestures down the hallway. "That way." Since Kaelyn has appeared above the ground floor, she's gotten past the metal detectors and security detail, something which those here neglect.

Yulee Jefferson hears Kaelyn from down the hall, and marches along as he opens his can of cola, smiling genially. "Ah, hello there, miss. Intergang, you say? That's what these malcontents are calling themselves?" He gestures for her to follow him. "Call me Yulee. Perhaps you could explain to me the facts here, I feel that politics should be left to the lounges of life, not out in the open." He turns about to face her as he stops, and grins. "Children are watching, after all."

Yulee points at a series of white boards with pictures and multiple colors of marker monikers on them. Some pictures are of equipment, others are of individuals photographed, others are of the items that were in danger. "This, is the big board. I'm an attorney, I go for indictements, we want the suspects tracked, captured, and prosecuted." He gestures with his hand at an attorney nearby, with a computer before him. "Please tell Mister Penwegger your name, for our records, and your address, in case we need to follow up."
Kaelyn Kae glances around and then offers a bit of a grin. "Umm I was kind of one of the ones that helped foil it... I would kind of like to at least keep where I live out of the limelight for obvious reasons." Kae says and then adds "However I can get you information on how to get in touch with me. And I have no problem appearing here at any point for another interview." She adds and tilts her head "I hope this is acceptable?" Kae then adds. "If not just for my benifit, but for others that live with me as well. Should any information about who I am and my whereabouts get to these thugs, I will have a fight on my doorstep I do not wish to have." Kae says and then looks to Yulee... "That acceptable?"

Kae glances to the secretary, and looks to Yulee now... She tries to think of a good way to show she's not just any normal curvy redhead with green eyes, and shrugs before waving a hand, as a half dozen ghostly runes just kinda float in the air and dissapate... Kind of a way to show she's not just a normal person and all "Anyhow I was there at the issue that cropped up in Gotham, And with those leads I ended up here somehow, actually was hoping my guess would be wrong."
Yulee Jefferson Yulee looks to the federal agent, who then nods. "Normally, your assistance would be inadmissable to our system, to maintain the indictement, however if Intergang is involved, then this constitutes an international security issue." He blithely watches the demonstration of magical ability, merely to be polite. He then looks at the lawyers and cops gathered around the whiteboard. "Anyone without federal clearance, please leave now, so you don't poison yourself with this evidence." There's a murmur as chairs slide and people stand, slowly exitting the enlarged cubicle area.

Yulee turns to Kaelyn. "The story, if you would, at your leisure. Intergang is not something that Metropolis finds itself alone in dealing with, and it will not leave this office if we can help it, but be aware, your assistance is mandatory, for your own survival. Intergang is a representative of a force that threatens the entire Earth, and you are on the Earth. I'm afraid you find yourself in a bit of a Spanish pickle."
Kaelyn Kae laughs and nods "Oh yah... Anyhow, I'm perfectly human, I'm also a Mage.." she says and sits down.. "So, lets start with Gotham. I was there purely by accident. However Intergang burrowed into the Gotham reserve bank's vault, then litterally melted their way out of the heavy reinforced vault doors wanting our odds and ends... My self and a few others were there to try and deal with them, but let me tell you. The weaponry they use is powerful....." Kae adds, then hmmms.... "To give you a point of reference, I can throw out personal wards that will laugh off a possible shot from a main battle tank.. Their weapons were causing injuries through those wards and they're hand held... Some kind of lasered plasma technology, or particle weapons I would think..."

How a magician understands such weapons might be a little subject for later questioning. "They are extremely well organized... However they seem to operate in cells... If they didn't, some might have recognized me at this latest thing from the first one. However someone is seeing these runins with these thugs as they're adapting their strategies... This time, from what I understand they were able to kidnap a Kriptonian..." She pauses a moment and lets that sink in... "They were also quicker to fire at innocents at even the slightest provocation... They appear after loot, but perhapse after something more, and from my understanding on this last fight, they broke it off after they kidnapped said Kriptonian... SuperWoman I believe.." she says and tilts her head, while trying to wrack other information through her brain, then tries to give a detailed account of this latest incident... "Anyhow these guys came in through the front door after baracading off the art gala, forced those of us there into a corner.. I think the only reason we didn't have civilian casualties is because of some good acting by the other powered folks there, and well, I had a hunch based on scrying and divination that they -might- be there, so I entered the gala with some of my own art, all of it having been laced with ward magic just in case it showed up... I'm thinking the wards held up... But to be honest, I'm stretched monetarily at this point so I'm not going to be able to keep on providing artifacts that project wards quite like this one..."
Yulee Jefferson Yulee Jefferson crosses his arms as he listens, his right elbow on his folded hand, his hand on his chin as he listens thoughtfully. He's adopting a closed gesture posture, to consider Kaelyn's words without expressing any show of empathy, a counselor's trick for deciding merit on an expert. "I see. Kidnapping Superwoman could be a major cause of concern." He turns to the man at the computer. "Get SHIELD on the phone, let them know that Superwoman is in the hands of Intergang." He sighs, shaking his head as he uncrosses his arms and puts his hands on his hips. "Blows my whole weekend, dealing with those telemarketer lookalikes."

There's a few chuckles, before Yulee steps around Kaelyn. "Now, the weaponry, we know what that is. But the thing we don't know, is did you see anyone that looks like a 'snark'. Those guys providing the muscle, that's what we call a mark, in carnie culture. But a snark, that's someone who is deliberately set up to be noticed, so he can barter with the other side, or with third parties, on behalf of his group."
Kaelyn Kae hmmms, and thinks a moment.. "To be honest there was a fellow calling the shots for this particular cell.. That being said, they all hadd earbuds in and whatnot and the fellow calling the shots there was captured..." She says and tilts her head and thinks some more "Though to be more honest, I think he was kind of a middle man, kind of like how a sargent executes the orders of a comissioned officer and keeps the lower ranks in line. Someone else planned and organized this..." She says and shrugs with a sigh... "Y'all should have that dude, least as soon as he gets out of the hospital, he kinda had a guy thrown into him and I kinda hit him with an energized kinetic bolt too..."

Kae smirks a bit and grins "Some friends jokingly call it a magic missile..." She says, maybe Yulee would get it... Maybe not... She then glances up at thinking about the blowing the whole weekend... Kae grins a bit "I blew about half of my free income for the week in about 2 minutes today... trust me I understand about blown weekends, as it is, I'll be eating at home a lot, and not be making any constructs for my self for a while at least, and worse, I don't think these guys are going to stop. I honestly got a very very strong feeling that we're being watched... And who I mean we, I mean any heros that come to interseed. And I honestly believe Super Woman was kidnapped by whoever is behind Intergang... Ie, whoever is supplying the weapons is the one who captured the Kryptonian.. Does that make sense?"
Yulee Jefferson Yulee moves over to the board, where there's a chain of leadership, organization, weapons types, and cities, all leading to a central picture on top, turned around backwards.

"Let me help you."

He reaches up to the photograph, and turns it around so a cartoon UFO can be seen.

"So you can see what we're dealing with, here."
Kaelyn Kae nods and stares at the picture curiously, the woman tilting her head. It's at this point her backpack shifts a bit, the mouth opens and out wanders well, a tiny cat-sized dragon that appears on some minute detailt o possibly having been manufactured, but whoever made it was crazy with the detail... It's obvious it's some kind of construct but moves, acts, seems quite alive... Kae blinks and sighs. "Don't mind him, he's my pet..." she says matter of factly while she studies the picture... "So explain away..."
Yulee Jefferson Yulee reaches up, turning the picture back around. "I'm not allowed to explain this one, you need security clearance for it." He raises a finger, looking at the dragon. "And remember, only federal agents are with us right now. You tell a state or local authority, I'll know you looked behind the photograph."
Kaelyn Kae looks at the picture and back to Yulee... "Umm you know I can probably find that out if I wanted to right? And you'd not even know it?" she says looking a bit confused... "Anyhow, I am good at keeping secrets sir... What I say here won't go outside this room except to the other.. Heros I am trying to work with now and then..." she says and smiles just a bit... "And nothing you show me here will leave this room. Ok?" she asks "You have my word on that."
Yulee Jefferson "I'm a lawyer, miss, the law is what I do for a living, and outside of a judge's decision, I can't change the fact that I've been empowered by the people of Metropolis to act as their arbiter." Then, he looks at the nearby federal prosecutors, technicians, and law enforcement agents. "And these here fine men, they're keeping me on my tip-toes when it comes to this issue." He points, pointedly, to the bottom of the pyramid, at a picture of a mobster. And then, he draws his finger up the line, slowly, until he reaches the picture turned backwards, tapping it. "That, is the situation here, as I'm empowered by federal law to inform you. You are in no danger from us, but if you feel like you are in danger from your presence at the incident, we will protect you. If you want to get completely involved, we can contact SHIELD, and put you in their custody. SHIELD will be dealing with this anyways, since a major metahuman individual..."

He turns about, reaching into a box and pulling out a Superman logo.

"Has been kidnapped..."

He draws a circle on the board, puts the Superman logo inside it, and draws an arrow from it to the cartoon UFO. "By /that/." He taps the reversed picture with the marker.
Kaelyn Kae nods twice "Yup, Lets not forget the Justice League will be getting involved more heavily than they are now I think.... I've worked with a few of their members, not so much SHIELD though." Kae says with a bit of a grin. "Still maybe having a few SHIELD agents to secretly hang out at my shop/cafe wouldn't be too bad I don't think." She says and rubs the nape of her neck. "Am thinking it wouldn't be too terribly hard to get in contact with them... Mostly I worry about my apprentice, and the two young mages under my tutelage... It would take.... Quite a bunch to break through the wards at my place, but it can be done... And having someone trained on combat nearby who can call in help would be nice." She adds and rubs at the nape of her neck again before looking at the boards... "still though, like you say, we have our gangers at the bottom. Multiple multiple cells... IT's like someone's using them to probe our defenses.. Then there's someone above them, and probably someone above him... and so on and so on till one gets to the UFO there at the top."
Yulee Jefferson "You let Jesus worry about the UFO, miss," is all Yulee can say, picking up his soda from the desk nearby and slurping it. "Although don't stop thinking constructively. But that's why we have Jesus. So we can keep thinking until we can get to that UFO." Yulee shakes his head, looking down, before he tosses a glare at the computer tech, who is grinning at him. "Don't say it, Penwegger. Don't say it!" He turns about and takes a deep breath. He's from a civil rights worker family, and it's not the comparison to the Jeffersons itself that is offensive, it's the type of person who brings up the reference. It's always a computer jockey. Something about coded variables. Always cool lines, never heart. "Alright, miss, you've been very helpful. We'll see if we can't trip him with an grand larceny charge, and property endangerment. This guy isn't going to be tried in a public courtroom, he's an interstellar threat, but we'll slam him with a multi-million dollar criminal charge anyways." He turns around and starts walking away. "Helps the rookie sharks feel like they've eaten something besides chum."
Kaelyn Kae nods slowly... "Aaanyhoo... You have a nice day sir... but yah getting those mooks behind bars would probably be a good thing.. I mean you have attempted murder, assault with a deadly, amonst other things on em too." she says cheerfully and as she stands she waves.... "Well I gotta get my self back home... you have a great day, and maybe a less busy one tomorrow!" Next the woman begins heading toward the exit door. As she gets closer she taps her chin and whispers a few words, those words kind of carrying around the place but well not really understandable... She opens the door now and there' slike a blackness beyond, a two dimensional one... And she steps into it and closes the door behind her and is gone. Those outside would just see the door opening and closeing for no reason....
