Several muscle bound security guys, guard the front entrance and a long line snakes away from the front door. Dozens of young hip party goers eagerly await their chance to hob knob with the rich, famous, and in some cases, infamous of Empire City.

If that is the ‘sort’ of man you are… you have my greetings and welcome… I did not want the ‘civi’ going spastic on us.”<br /><br />He turns to address both the ‘manhunter’ and Slik Slanderer, “As for Leonetti’s meta-muscle I can confirm that personally. Big bruiser of a guy, wears expensive suits and rings on all his fingers – carries himself with confidence … a pro. Been at it a while. Probably meta-human strength and he seems to possess some density increasing power to make himself heavier…likely ups his strength and makes him even more resilient to harm. Not sure if it is a gravitic manipulation, a earth controlling power or just a simple internal personal power. He showed up when I was tapping the new cell-phones of some of Leonetti’s thugs inside a club as listening bugs. They were talking to some boss not sure if it was Leonetti himself or another of his ‘wise-guys’ when they all walked into a signal shielded area. I decided to walk in and do, some ‘personal’ interrogation of my own of the lot of them. The club’s bouncers were no match for me - could not have stopped me on their best day… but then Anvil, Leonetti’s hired meta-thug, showed up! I was not prepared to fight a Meta in a club full of civis… too much risk of hurting innocents and more property damage than I was interested in doing… I kinda like that club anyways. So we took it outside and had a ‘chat’. I was not prepared for a Meta to show… not unexpected – pretty much guessed eventually Leonetti would get a clue and hire a ‘specialist’, but ‘Anvil’ was not in the plans for the evening. I didn’t see the need to fight when I could not get what I wanted without a lot of destruction… with no real guarantee I could even get what I wanted. If the boss was smart he’d already vacated anyways, plus I did not want to fight on Anvil’s ‘terms’. So I left after chatting with Anvil a bit… he’s smart… not a genius mind, but not a typical meat head with far too much muscle than brain.
