Who: SUPER HEROES!!!!!
Where: Ernest E. Debs Regional Park!
When: Sunday!
What: SUPER BARBECUE
Warnings: Superheroes...



It's a pleasant evening at Ernest E. Debs Regional Park, just a couple miles from downtown LA, which can be seen through the haze. Late March means spring is just arriving in LA and the trees are just starting to bud. Unfortunately, the grass is still kind of dead and dry.

The barbecue and picnic area isn't too busy, though the park does have the usual assortment of joggers, dog walkers, and cyclists. There are some balloons tied to picnic tables, and strung between two trees is a very homemade "SUPER BBQ" banner, courtesy of Hulkling and Starbreaker. There's still glitter glue on Milly's apartment floor. There's another posterboard with the rules written on it in big bold sharpie letters nearby, just in case anyone forgets:

• Don't be a jerk!!!
• Keep your weapons holstered please.
• Do not trash the park!
• ABSOLUTELY NO FIGHTING
• Anyone caught fighting will be asked to leave!
• Really don't be a jerk!

[OKAY GUYS!!! mingle! have fun! maybe some THINGS WILL HAPPEN, whoooo knows!]

"That sounds... interesting." He doesn't want to say it sounds awesome - spending days traveling and camping could mean 'I backpacked in Europe' or 'I used to be homeless and on the run and had to sleep outside.' You never could tell, with this crowd.

Teddy shrugs. "I mean, not that often, but with so much superhero activity in LA it's kind of a huge target for supervillain stuff like that. There's always something going down somewhere. Not usually something so huge, though."

As an afterthought he adds, "Thanks a lot for your help with the fire, everyone would so have been eating cold hot dogs."

That might explain why Vanessa wanted to form her own little group of heroes. If what Teddy said was true then certain criminals could slip under the radar of others. CONDOR and the Trailblazers couldn't do everything.

"Not a problem, I'm glad to help." It'd be shame to go to a gathering with food only to have there be...no food.

"There anything else I can do?"
