Town Meeting

[john-adams-1776.livejournal.com]

John awoke at his usual early hour on the morning of the town meeting. He dressed with slightly more than usual care in his suit of clothes from home, broke his fast with a light meal, and headed to the Golden Horseshoe to ensure that things were the way he wanted.

The chairs and small tables were already perfectly arranged, but John dragged a podium he found backstage out to the front of the curtain. Then he bustled about in the kitchen area setting out drinks and whatever small snacks he could find back there.

Before long, interested citizens began filing in and he went up to the podium. There was no microphone because he'd never heard of such a thing, but John Adams never had difficulty making himself heard.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome. If you would please pick up any refreshments you'd care for and take your seats, we'll begin in just a few minutes."

Why don't these damn teenagers know how to raise their hand?! Has school stopped teaching that? Leon wanted to scream, but refrained. He was not to lose his temper, he was not to lose his temper.

"I'm aware that there are some people," psychos, "here who've got odd powers. I've got them at home as well, and I've dealt with them just fine, thankyouverymuch."

"I really doubt they set you on fire," Setsuna insisted, staring blandly at Leon. "I still don't trust you as a cop to protect any of better than we can protest ourselves. And you're still not needed. None of that changes just because you've dealt with a little super-natural power back home, where none of us could see you."

"I think I'd rather be set on fire," Leon muttered, running his hand through his hair. "But I'm sure they could if they had tried." He really had no idea what D's family was capable of. "And some organized body for investigations is needed, at least in my book. I need to get out of here as quick as possible, and the only way that's possible is if there's an organized body that's communicating their ideas, theories and findings to one another."

"Because nothing ever happens without a fascist state in place," sneered Logan, no longer bothering with being called on. "Bureaucracy being noted for its breakthroughs."

"You ain't listening," Setsuna muttered, suddenly losing all interest in the conversation. It was taking too long, and nothing was getting done. Needless to say, the kid wasn't a debate type.

"I'm sure you could have an organized body with everyone, and forget about the damn police force idea." So the kid said, but he was tugging on Kira's sleeve for his attention, and clearly getting ready to just go.

Kon'd heard that intonation before, and he never really took it well, but he managed to not say what he was thinking--but whatever this guy'd dealt with back home... He just shook his head, knowing they couldn't have been like Ivy or Knockout or Harm, and shot a wide-eyed skeptical look at his girlfriend, best friend, and Static while he was at it.

Rose snickered softly when Kon gave her that wide-eyed look. "Yeah... kinda funny, isn't it?"

"Amateurs," was Tim's only comment.

"That's normally what you say about me, not someone else," Kon whispered softly, grinning a little. "But yeah. You said it."

Rose glanced at Tim and Kon and shook her head. "I've seen worse, but I think you might be right."
