> “Effective immediately, I am leaving the Lair Legion,” Glory announced.
>
> The news came as a shock to the assembled Legionnaires.
>
> “What’s wrong, Glory? Lisa’s cat didn’t scratch you again, did he?” Visionary worried.
>
> “It’s about Mr. Epitome,” Hatman guessed, “Glory, I know we haven’t had any luck finding him, but we’re not giving up.”
>
> “Neither am I. However, there are several investigations that must take precedent for the team over searching for Dominic. The Shee-Yar genocide being the most pressing.”
>
> “We’re looking into that,” CrazySugarFreakBoy! assured the Border collie, “We’ll figure out the identity of the creeps responsible, just like we’ll find Epitome.”
>
> “I believe the chances for resolving the crises improve if people are allowed to devote all of their efforts to one or the other.”
>
> The Capped Crusader wanted to argue, but Glory was making a valid point, “I understand. And, I accept your resignation.”
>
> “Well I don’t,” Visionary said, “The Legion is a family. We’re not something a person can just quit, and we work together to solve whatever problem comes up.”
>
> Glory dipped her head down, “I would like to point out, sir, that when Naari had been abducted to the Mythlands by Camelia of the Fey during the Parody War you set about rescuing her without support of the active team.”
>
> “That was completely different,” the headmaster of the Juniors’ program objected.
>
> “How so?”
>
> “Because, ah…..”
>
> CSFB! spoke up, “Why don’t we do this: Glory can take a leave of absence. That way she can go off without feeling she’s deserting us, and then come back once she’s completed her Epitome Quest.”
>
> “Sounds good to me,” Hatman offered Glory his hand. She responded by lifting her paw so he could shake it, “Glory, it has been a pleasure and an honor working with you. Good luck in all your endeavors.”

> Glory dropped the paper bag she held in her mouth into the hands of Kat Allen, “These are for you. I would like you to move in to the house while I am away.”
>
> The trim young blonde looked distraught, “Glory I don’t know if I can.”
>
> “You would be doing us a favor if you would. Plus, there are many practical reasons for you to move. You would no longer need to pay rent on your apartment. You would not have to pay for parking your car in the city. It is a safer environment, as the dwarves constructed safeguards in the home in case of attack.”
>
> “I’m sure from a practical standpoint, you’re right,” Kat conceded, “But emotionally, it would be hard. Dom and you got that house for all of us. It will be difficult to live there alone.”
>
> The Dog Dynamo understood, but she did not relent, “We should not change our plans because of the whims of the Parodyverse. That is what Dominic would say. Besides, you will not be alone there long.”
>
> “Do you have a lead?” Katarina asked hopefully as she considered whether or not to accept the keys.
>
> “I have a plan.”
>
>
> Next: The Plan. Maybe.
