Welcome to Gaia! ::

Since he wasn't accessing his powers, Julian as unable to to anything about being grabbed and flung inside the apartment. Julian simply smiled as Katriana stared daggers at him. He seemed to have the upper hand in this situation. Looking over, Julian saw his old comrade Arielle. She still had the same grumpy look on her. Both Katriana and Arielle had grown up to be such fine developed women. Too bad Julian was already aware of their relationship to each other. "Katriana, I'm hurt. Even after so long, you were forget someone like me." The silver haired man feigned a hurt expression. He tossed his hair to one side, looking away and biting his lip. "It's to be expected though. After 20 years with no contact, I should know that you wouldn't recognize your old classmate." Julian glance back to see if Katriana reacted in anyway to his hint.

A smile appeared on Julian's face as Katriana suddenly remember who he was. "You could say I grew up." The villain said walking about the apartment. "Could say I went to the other side and came back." Julian deliberately paused and turned to both of his old comrades. "Or, you could say I was reborn anew. I'm no longer the measly little boy who commanded chess pieces and lost to the damn Titans." Julian said as he slicked his hair back. "I am Mastermind."

Julian could feel the heat in Arielle's words as she questioned his motives for finding them. The grown genius looked at the only way he could, like he meant no obvious harm. "I am here because I need you two. Call it another one of my masterful schemes gone wrong, but I assure you, it is not." Julian helped himself to an empty chair and sat down with his legs crossed as hands folded. "You see, I need to get the five of us back together..well four. Can't seem to find Old Billy, not since our last run in with the damn Titans." Julian recalled regretfully. Whether his two old comrades cared or not, that run in was serious lost him. It was the start of his downfall. Times were different though, as now they were grown up and much more powerful. "So, interested?"

Clyde found himself wandering the halls of the base. Walks were usually the way he thought out his strategies. Now he was happening upon Fade as she was heading to her room. The villain-turned-hero was always curious about the girl. She was always so quiet..for obvious reasons. Clyde found this to also be an opportune time to see how far he had come in his sign language lessons. The Leaguer chose to take his mask off and go up the girl for a small chat.

Clyde could already tell that Fade wasn't too thrilled to see him. she was nervous and shy as ever. It might have been different is Archer was with her, but it wasn't. The Leaguer tried to put his best smile to show he meant no harm. Clyde began trying to recall some of sign language he had learned. Doing ok? He signed. Or at least, that's what he thought he said. It may have been a rough and choppy version of saying "going" and "health".
