Tension

Suffice it to say, the tension between the factions that made up our group hadn't exactly been eased by Wildthing's sudden startling transformation.

I decided to try to remedy the situation by opening a dialogue with the mysterious American Nomads.

"Hey, uh, I don't know what to call you," I said, slowing down so I was walking in pace with the girl from the team, "What's your name?"

"You mean my codename?" She said in her exotic accent.

"Uh yeah, sure," I replied.

"They call me Plasmid," she replied.

"I'm going by Livewire, couldn't pick a name so one got picked for me, could be worse I guess."

"One of the uh… Hyperbole, right?"

"Hypogean. But yeah, though I'm new to the team. They seem alright enough."

She raised an eye at that, before nodding toward Wildthing, "You sure about that?"
