Charles sat in the main room of the team base, his robot stood behind him as Charles began to speak, “Today is the day.” Charles couldn’t help, but smile behind his mask. He had put so much effort and time into the team, “Today is the day, the Vigilantes is officially a team.” The bot waited for his creator to continue, “And with it being that, I have messed with your programming quite a bit, for you to respond to your new name IRIS
Independent. Response. Intelligence. System.” Charles also pointed towards a screen and the robot now known as Iris looked at the blank screen, “I also gave you a more social appearance.” Iris, looked like a woman with a slight tan, brown hair and hazel eyes. She was dressed as a business woman in blue. The once personal bot of Charles responded, “Well Thank you sir.” Charles rose from his seat, sending out a signal to all the members of their very first meeting, he then walked over to the captain’s chair and took a seat. He took a short drink of water in front of him, then placed his elbows on the table and his fingers pressed against one another as he waited for the other members.
As They swarmed in one by one, Charles once again couldn’t help, but smile once again. They all took a seat, from Charles’s point of view it looked as though the meeting was quite awkward for them, could he blame them. They were strangers, each used to being on their own, each a soldier in all of this. As he rose from his seat, they looked at him for answers.
With all the millions of press conferences, interviews, and flawless speeches, why was it that Charlie could not find what to say? Maybe it was the respect, he had for every single of them sitting before him, maybe it was that he didn’t have his reputation as Charles St. Cloud to back him up, maybe it was just all of it. Whatever, it was it caused him to sort of roughly say, “Listen...” he looked at each of them. “You all know why you’re here. Each of you possess abilities and skills, that making you an asset to this team.” The Crimson Hood watched them then quickly continued, “You each also know, the main reason for this team, we’re doing what needs to be done. We’ll be the heroes this world needs, even if it doesn’t deserve it. My name is The Red Raider and this is our headquarters.” Charles rose his arms in the air and moved them around showing the base, then with a clap of the hands Iris walked out from behind a passage. “This is IRIS, she is something I created to help with the team as much as she can.” His crowd was still a little tense, but they saw that he had put hard work into this situation. “As for this HQ, it is strictly off limits to outsiders, I do not want us to be compromised, because you brought someone in, it would put us all at risk.” he took a drink of water to ease his own nerves, when he proudly said, “So Welcome to the Vigilantes, any questions?” Charles decided to finish on that note, it was something that could clear all the grey areas he himself didn’t clear up.
Charles pulled out his chair taking his seat, ready to answer all the questions his teammates had. The Red Raider had a serious face, like he was in control of everything, but he couldn’t help squeal like a little kid at an ice-cream parlor. His heart was pumping like a hooves on a race track .
