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."

"Pull the other one. It's got bells on." She snorted, and leaned back in her chair. "Hardly. He's at least trying to be logical in his argument, not pushing buttons."

Leon couldn't help it. He beamed at her. At least something was going right in all of this.

"The hell you're not pushing buttons." She knows there are kids there, one was staring at her just a bit ago, but it's not like she's using any of the stronger words she's more comfortable with.

"You're demanding to know how they plan to deal with issues that come up. Nobody knows how to deal with any situation - I'll bet my best weapon that you don't. They're at least trying to plan ahead... when's the last time you did something that useful?"

Rose smirked at Kira, and then shrugged. "I like the idea of having protocols... not of having a force. The Titans couldn't plan for everything, but we sure as hell tried to make sure we were ready for anything... it's not that bad here, so maybe just having the ideas in place would work. And hell, I'm the first one to bitch about arbitrary rules."

"Well, I'm not daddy, and I'm sure as hell not Lex Luthor. Right now, I'm willing to wait and see."

"Hey, hey!" Kon protested, soft but intense in Rose's ear, "No mentioning him, you might bring him down on us!"

Sure, he normally left Luthor to Superman, but he'd tangled with Luthor once or twice himself, and didn't want anything to do with him being around here.

Rose laughed and patted Kon's shoulder. "If that jerk shows up, you can trust that I'm going to see just how quickly the park's defenses can react. That jerk has screwed over way too many of the people I like."

Kon leaned into her hand, nodding. "Okay, Rose. Thanks."
