SEARCHING FOR SAFEHAVEN

[Kid Amazo]

So, Kid Amazo has been laying low after the sound beating he recieved from the JLA, though is convinced by now that he is considered deceased and is ready to return to what he genuinely wanted to do: become a superhero and further his way against Professor Ivo and his evil 'father', Amazo. So what I was thinking was that he would move into San Francisco (California is the only state he's ever known) and resuming his work under the name 'The Kid'.

I'm considering possibly tying him in with the Titans, considering he is a young character who has absolutely no friends of family, thus the partnership would ultimately prove beneficial. On top of that, there is plenty of opportunity for him to grow and that jazz. So, if anyone with a Titans character thinks this can work, go ahead and post. Otherwise I will settle for plan B (Every guy in spandex has a plan B, so why not?)

I should be posting here with Kid Devil or Aquagirl but I'm lazy. I could post with either Kid Devil or Lorena for you. Ghost also has Jericho who could accompany them to have a chat with Amazo and help him out or interact with him in some fashion.

[Jericho]

Yeah. Jericho could go along with them to a chat with Kid Amazo.

[Kid Amazo]

Either would work, I have two ideas in mind for the the thread already.

Option A: Operating as 'The Kid' pseudonym, as to avoid raising suspicion, Frank manages to get to the scene of a chaotic scene/event (I'm leaning towards rioters or looters) and perhaps beats a few of the Titans whom are responding to the situation which is being taken care of by some new hero on 'town'.

Option B: Something of a 180 with instead The Kid swooping in and offering assistance in a well timed, though partly awkward manner.

Alternatively, if you or Ghost have any other ideas I'd be more than happy to corroborate on the thread idea.

[dinah]

Well I like the first idea, but I want to get some elaboration on what you are thinking? He'd beat them to the scene right not merely wind up going after them, well he could try that and then realize Lorena and Jericho are the good guys then apologize and things could go from there to give them a sort of starting point. It could very well be interesting.

[Kid Amazo]

Despite Kid Amazo's costume bearing a strong resemblence of one of my most favorite and obscure) marvel superheroes (and jerks), Captain Ultra, I don't think he'll slip up and start attacking the wrong guys. That is, of course, as long as he isn't spooked or under the impression that one of them is potentially hostile (Which I also doubt) but I could waive that because it would be an effective hook to get Frank to apologize and try to make amends.

One point I was considering was having Kid Amazo's lack of experience show that, despite his power, he makes clear rookie mistakes. Could be something like moving to stop an armored vehicle from leaving, pick it up but have it slip briefly out of his hands as the metal bends under his fingertips. Or going to shoot a gun with his laser vision and ends up accidentally singing someones hand. In this hook, it would give the veterans a chance to see Frank's potential and perhaps start a sort of mentorship that evolves into a friendship.

While I do somewhat like toying with the idea of Kid joining up with the Titans at some point, I feel it should be built up upon, like teaming up with them a few times and gaining their trust before he goes about deciding to ask (or be asked) to join, even as some reserve/auxiliary member. Though that is really the long term, and I'll get to that bridge when I get to it.

So if I'm having Frank hit the crime scene/warzone first then I'll start on the thread.
