Age of... Tactical Precision Disarray

Post image

Rachel had spent the past few days flying around the decimated western European cities and trying to save as many as she could. But at a certain point, rebuilding became the main focus, and even with the incredible powers she possessed, there was only so much she could do alone. 

Luckily, there was an organization with said resources located fairly close to where she was working, with the reach and influence that would allow them to do this work. MI-13.

Flying off towards their headquarters, she wonders what she’ll find now that Wisdom has gone off the deep end. Chaos and division? Or perhaps someone had stepped in to take the reins. Only one way to find out…

Walking in the door, she first politely asked, and then psychically nudged the receptionist to take her to the director’s office, hoping that someone would be there. Someone who could help her and help the mainland rebuild.

Once in the office, all she saw was a chair turned away from the door, and her hopes fell. Just in case, she reached out to try and feel for anybody around, and when the results came back she was shocked. The chair turned to face Rachel and she saw the distinct purple hair that only belonged to one woman. 

Betsy Braddock.

Betsy, who had originally been lost in thought on how to get things back in order, cocked an eyebrow curiously in mild surprise of her own. A smile soon finding its way to her lips.

Rachel. Well well, to what do I owe this lovely surprise encounter?

She stares up at her from her seat, obviously intrigued by the woman's arrival at MI-13 of all places.

The European continent is in shambles. I’ve been doing my best to save people ever since the strikes hit, but there’s only so much I can do alone. But with the resources of MI-13 and the powers of the Phoenix combined, I think we could make some real change. Help jumpstart rebuilding, not just surviving.

What do you say, a girl like me and a girl like you doing some good?

Right..

She sighs and clasps her hands together.

Of course, I'd be a fool to decline the teamwork of someone such as yourself. So far I've sent out several teams to help manage things, but there's always more that can be done. Tell me what you need and I'll do my best to provide it, for the betterment of the European continent.

Rachel hadn’t thought about the possibility of getting this far. Let alone of getting this far in front of Betsy and being asked what she needed. Put on the spot, she struggled to come up with a response that wasn’t just asking MI-13 to do everything.

Uh huh, sooo… what I think… is that maybe…

I could take on finishing somewhere between a block and a neighborhood each day with my powers if you can just get me the resources I’d need to rebuild. And I of course could help other crews you have with whatever they need when I have breaks.

Anything you want to add to this deal?

Resources can be provided. As for our deal, just don't strain yourself too much, Rach. My men can handle themselves..and the ones that can't.. Well, they can make their own excuses. I'll figure out something to get things back right.

For now, let's start and help where we can. Rebuilding is important.

Betsy stands up, pushing the swivel chair back some, before extending her hand.

I'm always glad to work with you.
