OOC NOTES: This is a starter log to help kick off the event. Feel free to use or post your own!

The transport process isn’t a fun one. Captured Metas are outfitted with power-nullifying handcuffs and collars, chained into the back of a heavily armored prison transport vehicle. Normally there’s a huge procession that goes alone with this: more back up vehicles, overhead support, government loyal metals in every vehicle. But this rush of new arrivals has pushed the system to its limits- there’s never been a need to accommodate more than a specific number of known Metas. It has the guards in the vehicles on edge, jumpy as they try to navigate through the City without the usual back up. And it’s a strain the resistance is more than ready to push to the breaking point.

In addition to transporting new arrivals to their reprogramming, there are the already-present Meta prisoners that must still be shuffled around, causing a mix of old and new in the vehicles. And irresistible targets for liberation for the resistance groups. When the transport is hit, which will the new Metas side with? Your captors you may still be able to gain a comfortable life working with? Or the rebellion fighting their way into the vehicle?

Yeah.

[ he smirks a little, and offers his hand (despite the cuffs), and lightly jests. ]

Sorry. Meant to tell you sooner.

[Awkwardly, Jacob manages to maneuver his cuffed hands into a position where he can shake Batman’s- Bruce’s.]

Hey, don’t worry about it. It’s always been your secret to keep.

[He looks at Bruce’s face with fresh eyes. Yes, it’s there, and always has been- the eyes, the jaw.]

I guess now I know where Batman gets all his toys. No wonder you’ve always been so well-equipped.

The operation is a little more bare-boned these days, Jacob. Things have changed.

[ the cane. the badge at his waist. the aging lines under his eyes and around the edges of his mouth. ]

I'm afraid if there's any billionaire left to get angry about these days, it's Tony Stark, but he hasn't been seen for years. Seems his suit is still around, though.

[Jacob scoffs at Stark’s name. He hasn’t forgotten how the guy sold them all out to the OTO.]

Figures Stark would still be sitting pretty. Or at least his tech is.

[He nods at the badge, then at the team around them.]

So this is how you get things done now? Who are these people, anyway?

[ImPorts? Natives? Actual cops? Resistance members adopting a useful disguise?]
