how it stands

[lyznos]

Ronoh was walking in from a briefing with General Fury. He might be the field commander of the Ultimates but even he had his bosses.

" Steve how did you put up with all it?" He wondered. He carried with him a thumb drive with applicants wanting to become members of SHIELDS field unit of the Ultimates. Some came from inside SHIELD who for on reason or another wanted a transfer. He had his eye on a Clint Barton who was starting to become a rise in one of SHIELDS black ops units and could do well.

There were also the outside applicants that Fury kept a eye on. Like this one guy who was applying, X something was his name, Ronoh couldn't remember his name off the top off his head. At a brief glance he seemed like a knock off of Tony Starks Iron Man design. O well, if the guy wanted a shot and Fury said give him a shot, he'd follow orders and do so.

Besides all the official duties and responsibilities he had his own mess of personal stuff he was dealing with now. With a rise in attacks, thefts and murders in the magical world it raised his concern that his own children might become targets.

He sat down at his desk and pinched the bridge of his nose, a habit he picked up now whenever he worried about Faye and Leo. If things got out of hand he might have to tell them a secret that only a five other people in his life knew, one of those people being their mother his wife.

He had sent a 2 member to Xavier's. One had a legit reason of being there and the other was there soley to protect his children if anything got out of hand.

He shook his head, got to get back to work, worry about personal stuff on my own time. These appointments aren't going to make themselves.

Ronoh sent a email to the address given to him and left a voice mail telling him to go down to the HQ.

Now all he had to do was sit back and wait until he called.

[lyznos]

((ooc: my bad, changed it for you))

[xomanowar]

Clad in his full X-O armor Aric flew to where Draco had told him, and on the way gave him a call back. His armor polished up and shining against the sun. he had strapped a stun baton against his waist like he usually did. He was quickly coming up on the island but he still kept calling instead of leaving a message. He stopped over the landing pad of the base and slowly touched down and waited for an answer from Draco.

[lyznos]

Draco recieved a incoming message. he checked and found out it was the recruit General Fury had recomended, XO-Manowar. He okayed his entrance to the landing pad and headed down to meet him.

He war his blue shield jump suit. Does no one use a door anymore? he thought to himself. He arrived in at the pad and saw the potential. recruit clad in his armor.

"Mr. Dacia, thanks for coming in on." He said approaching him. " I'm Ronoh Lyznos, field commander of the ULTIMATES." He said putting his hand out.

[xomanowar]

X-O's helm slid back into the suite that was skin tight on him. He took Ronoh's hand and shook it firmly. "Please call me Aric, or X-O. Just so you know i am the owner of a weapon's manufacturing company like Tony Stark, but we make weapons that are made for defense and attack. Now what am I to do? Do you have a few tests for me?" He said looking about.

[lyznos]

" this way" he motioned for Aric to follow. " Normally we go threw a full screening process, Psyche, dental, medical, vision and so on." He said as he reached a elevator and pressed a call button.

As the two waited he continued on. " Then we ask potential recruits to come back if they make it past the tests and show us what they got. But the General gave you his rubber stamp so we'll skip that. It looks like your ready to so us what you go right now. I have a current team member that will be helping us." the doors opened and Ronoh wrapped his wings around him and stepped in. " So before we begin i have one question that your going to have to answer before i proceed with the test. What makes you want to be a part of this team knowing what dangers we go threw?" He waited for his response and for him to get on the elevator.

[xomanowar]

"Well me and Tony Stark go way back. Helped him on some of his missions in the past, most likely never told yeah but hay who cares? Anyway i wanted to join because it means better way to put my weapons to good use not just laying around for a high bidder in the military." He said stepping on the elevator and laughing. "who knows we may learn things from each other then just me learning from you."

He crossed his arms waiting for the elevator to stop.

[lyznos]

" Maybe" the elevator stopped and Ronoh stepped off. " So were going to just have you kind of compete against one of our own. Until your authorized to know his name, you'll just have to know his code name. We call him REAPER. "

They were inside a large bay filled with computers and lab techs. in the middle of the room was a soldier in a olive drab suit with scrapes from different battles scattered across the suit.

"X-O Manowar, meet REAPER, REAPER, meet X-O. SO ready to get started?"

[Ender]

Ender was joking around with some of the lab techs when FAITH apeared from his projector.

" Ronohs in route with XO-Manoward. Better prep up Ender." Faith informed him. She stood waiting with her arms across her chest.

" yeah yeah" he sighed and stopped spining his helmet on his finger and placed it on. Faith disappeared and he felt the familar cold sensation sweep across his body when she entered his head threw the implants.

Ronoh was making the introductions while Faith was speaking to him.
" this should be fun, a another power suit to spare against, an alien one at that, IM hacking the file Fury has on him."

" yeah stop that, last thing i nedd is Fury on my case about you hacking."

" as if he could every find out, im just that good."

Ronoh asked if the two were ready start.

"Ready when ever you are sir."
