So they'll find almost 3/4 of the Lair Legion.

I'll say give it till Saturday. If I'm not well enough or organized enough to post something by then (or mention that I'm almost done with something), have at it.

There may be many more consequences to come. Maybe.

I have the distinct feeling the shattered Portal is the only reason why he hasn't.

It'll never happen, then.

I think I short-changed the above sentence. In
crime-fighting they don't seem to be terribly powerful. Probably because they lack the discipline and cohesiveness more than the raw power. If you try to kill a fly with a cannonball you'll probably miss. More on that in a moment.
> > Ironically, Chiaki worked hard to make the Baronness look bad, and it might end up being Lara who makes the New Legion look like chimps upon her return to Earth. Not necessarily because she's terribly better, but she's used to playing in the original Lair Legion's weight class and is more experienced.

> I think if you try to show Lara "punking" the Purveyors you might have some readership credibility issues. Better to put her up against one of the targets Lisa suggested where she can have a good tough fight without tripping up the main thrust of where our main plot is heading.

I didn't mean Lara would try to fight the New Lair Legion, or come anywhere near them. She's well aware that it's best if they're barely aware of her presence.
I meant that she would probably make the New Lair Legion look like chimps when it comes to crime fighting. She has the right balance of power, discipline, and experience, and obviously doesn't have the issues with infighting or posturing. It could be obnoxious though if the press takes note of her success and embarrasses the New Lair Legion and Beth Zemo (though Chiaki would be amused).
Also, I'm a little stressed out, so I'm not at my most coherent tonight.

I'll be healing, psycholoigcally and maybe physically, from an incident that involves an eye doctor, a specialist, and possible laser or conventional surgery. I won't know the conclusion until tomorrow is over (and I won't post about it until the dialation eye drops start to wear off).

Me too.
