Bleu Phoenix First Encounter:  I've finally reached New Amsterdam.  My contact said I'd find the people I'm looking for to avenge my family.   They've warned me i might have to deal with some nasty characters trying to move into the neighborhood.   As I head to my first meet with the local information broker, this joker with homemade wings calling n himself of all things Raptor floats down to attack me.   After I rip the wings off of him i use them to pin him to a light post with a note for the cops.  I stay alert,  Raptor said he wasn't alone. I continue on my way to the meet.  As I walk aling the canal Some firebug calling herself Firebrand shoots some fire blasts my way.   I'm thinking what is this, variety hour of under whelming villains.   I use my cold  blasts to freeze blocks on her feet tapping het on the ground.   My cold overwhelming her fire.   I toss her into the canal to putt het out.  Hauling  her out of the canal i proceed too freeze her up to her neck.   I prop her up against another light pole sticking another note for the police on the ice I've frozen her in and ask a passerby to call the police.   Damn these idiots are making me late for my meet.   I turn a corner and another buffoon is in my way.   I'm starting to get angry now.   She says I'm Valkyrie i will avenge my fallen brother and sister,  yoy wen r get past me.   I dissipate my atoms into an icy breeze floating behind her I reassemble myself turn my fist in to a block of ice and s just clobber her on the back of her head.   She drops like a falling snowflake,  this time I flag a near by cop down explain to him who she is and what she's done to me.   He takes her of my hands.  I tell him about the other two attached to telephone poles.   The officer laughs and says yeah Director Nova had them in hand.  The officer warns me to stay on my toes there'd supposed to be a grew more on the loose.   As he drives away he shouts thanks Bleu Phoenix.   I pause,  I never told him my name.   This has me deep in thought but still on my guard.   I make it several blocks without an incident.  Deciding to cut across a park to make up some lost time, I'm accosted again.   A quick jab to my face, I'm startled then I focus.   Its a so called speedster.   I'm Impulse you won't get past me,  She says cockily.  She doesn't realize I'm already putting a coat of ice on the ground.  When she loses her footing,  she slams right into a tree knocking her self out.   I laugh to myself these idiots are making me really late.   I put offs blocks on her hands and feet.  This time I don't have to wait for a cop,  The Director Nova walks out of the trees clapping.  Yoy sure are making quick work of these guys.   I ask him isn't that your job.  He says to me,  When your done grieving for your family come see me.   Wer have an open position for you.  I know your habe top work out your personal issues,  but we're waiting for you.   Shocked that he knows so much about me,  I stare at him stupidly for a moment before I reply,  I'll think about it Director.  I walk away hurrying my step.   I hope I haven't missed my info broker.   I need this lead to the family that had my family killed and turned me into whatever I am.   As I exit the park,  another flunkie steps I  my path.  Shouting What Now!   This idiot says I'm the Stygian, I run New Amsterdam,  you will answer to me for your folly.  I laugh and say in a mocking tone.  For your folly,  who talks like that.   I quickly summon hail out of the most air as a distraction.  Icing up my hands,  one, two punches and the Stygian is down.   Nova is right there with suppressor cuffs to haul the Stygian away.   He looks at me, you better hurry or your info broker will be long gone.   I break into a run, then I remember I can move faster than that.   I dissipate my molecules and zip moving quickly to the Broken Windmill bar.   Its a seedy place just the spot to find an info broker.   I walk up to the bar and order a whiskey sour.   I pretend to sip it.  It was my wifes favorite cocktail.   I order it for her.   I casually ask the bartender of he knows where i might find broker Zhang.   He laughs, saying He left 30 minutes ago.   He said something about you unreliable capes.   The glass in my hand freezes until it shatters,  shards flying everywhere.   I storm out and scream a heart rending noise to the moon at the top of my lungs.   Starting to cry,   I ask no one in particular now what do i do?   Director Nova whispers to me,  You ask the friends you've helped.   Turning to him he hands me a slip of paper.   Now we've been wanting this family for their crimes fur a long time.   Just.... bring them in like you did with all those villains tonight.   DONT KILL them Bleu Phoenix.  I know you want to,  but that's a path with no return.   I don't wnt to hunt you down and imprison you.   I read the info on the paper,  smiling at Nova I say,  no promises but ill do my best.   I guess I'm not too far into my grief  any more.   Time does help I guess,   See ya around Nova.   I dissipate my molecules and head to my vengeance or my salvation.  We'll see which wins out when I get there.
