5/1/13: IRONIC, I PRESUME?

PARTICIPANTS: JURGEN, BANE, LOUP GAROU, GREEN LANTERN, SCOTSMAN, ZEPHYR, IRONIC (IN HIS DEBUT PERFORMANCE)

Jurgen began the evening by visiting Opal's Los Angeles Psychodelic Electric Pussycat Swinger's Club. After the visit to review security, he began having visions of setting up his own club.

Later, at AlertForce mansion, a strange, metallic man walked up from the beach and knocked on the door. For some reason, HAL's security did not stop him. Bane answered the door, and the man said he needed help, and felt as if he had once been part of what goes on here. Neither Bane nor Jurgen, nor Green Lantern knew who he was. Loup was lounging by the pool, and did not come in for a few minutes. As soon as the man entered, HAL began broadcasting warnings, indicating that the man was emitting electromagnetic energy that interfered with HAL's systems.

Loup finally came in from the pool, and identified the man as Razor X, a former AlertForce member from 12 years ago. The man corrected Loup, telling him "I am no longer called Razor. Please refer to me as ... Ironic."

The team talked with Ironic for a while, learning that he had come here with a communicator (that Loup discovered was fake) and was seeking to learn how to be a hero again. He told them he had undergone some changes since he was here before, and did not recall much from those days, but hoped that AlertForce could show him how to do good again.

As the team debated where to put Ironic up for quarters, Harlee Quinn strolled out of the house. Loup grabbed her and started to carry her off (to the police, he said), but Green Lantern grabbed them both in his green energy ball. An argument among Loup, Green Lantern and Bane broke out as to whether to turn Harlee in to the police, and how she should be treated. As this went on, Harlee became increasingly freaked out about being the energy globe. Ironic had tried to put his own force field around her to protect her, but it did not seem to help. Finally, he convinced Green Lantern to release Harlee, and she immediately screamed that AlertForce was crazier than the Joker ever was, and that she was returning to him.

Of all people, Ironic ran after Harlee, calling her "Doctor Quinn." When she heard this name, she stopped. When Ironic caught up, he told her he did not remember how, but he thought that she had once helped him, and he wanted to try to help her. He told her he didn't think running away was the answer, and he said he could not explain why, but he truly believed these people could help him, which is why he came here, and he thought they might be able to help her too. She told him she didn't want to run again, but that she was afraid of the wolf, who often grabbed her, hit her, and threatened to turn her in. She asked Ironic if he would protect her if she stayed. He told her he could not promise anything, but that he would try.

The two returned to AlertForce mansion together. There were further discussions as to the appropriate place for both of them, and it was eventually decided that Bane would put them both up in apartments near AlertForce Mansion.

Meanwhile, Joe was working on HAL, and told Loup he would have him up and running again in a few hours.

Award: 4hp for Jurgen, 3 for everyone else
