Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein has made it a habit of coming by some of the old back up spots the  Justice Defenders hung out at. His grandpa Al told him about a good many of them, and with a story he was told when he was young where one of their "mementos" ate half of the base. Albert figure it might be a good thing to make sure the others he knew about where ok. So, this evening Albert in a brown trench and fedora (the superhero disguise tm) finds his way into an old hanger on an over run air strip not to far off the beaten path but enough it has not been messed with to much.

Joseph Gardner has posed:
From outside there is a whoosh of sudden wind and a flurry of dust. Then a hangar door is slowly pulled open. Standing backlit in the sunlight is a tall winged figure. He peers inside for a moment and then steps in cautiously. A familiar mace is in his hand. The hawk helmet turns stiffly and then he moves towards an alarm panel and punches in a code that is accepted, He breathes a sigh of relief and finds a light switch. Click, click, click. Lights snap on.

Hawkman steps further into the hangar, his wings trailing lightly in the dust and stirring up little dust devils. The mace gets hung on his belt as he looks about.

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein looks over at the noise, and he will step up, and sheds the coat and hat. "Who is that?" He asks, before he gets a look at the shape of the man. Hawkman having a relative distinct silhouette, he will call out "Is that you Hawkman?" He has studies the old stories after all.

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman takes a step back, unsure and not at all hawk-like for a moment. One hand drops to the mace and the wings are instantly spread and ready to lift him off the ground.

"... Yes. Who's there? Show yourself! The wings stir up the dust further. Part of him is looking at a Skyrocket Racer with someone else's recognition. He chokes up on the mace, ready to bunt.

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein will reach over and click on the lights so he can be seen, ready to bring his arm up to try to block a mace swing, and says "I'm Nuklon, The Atom's was my grand father, well god grand father, but still. He told me about this place, and I was checking out to make sure it was secure.

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman shows some recognition at the mention of Atom. "Right... I'm not the Hawkman you knew, though I inherited his memories via some alien technology and I made this rig after his model. I also have memories of this place and I came... to feel more at home I guess. I live in a perpetual state of deja vu." He shrugs a little. He doesn't add that he fought the Gentleman Ghost with lackluster results. He's retty sure Carter is frowning at him from the Afterlife. "I suppose you have to take my word for this. Though I did know the security code and where to find this place. And... that was the JSA Skyrocket, right? An early VTOL aircraft."

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein nods his head a bit and walks over to offer the man his hand to the other man "Well, knowing the security code is a start, I guess it makes you and me both somewhat second gen Justice  Defenders members." He offers the man a smile and says "Come have a seat, want something to drink? I brought some supplies to place. I figured the MREs and such here might be getting close to walking off on their own.

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman returns the handshake. "Oh thank you but no. I'm not hungry. I caught a rabbit on my way here... kidding. I don't do that. Well I mean I have eaten rabbit but... not caught any with my hands. Sorry, I'm kind of new to this, still getting several people's thoughts straight in my head. So... Atom hunh? He was a character as I recall. He and Wildcat got into stuff all the time. DO they have a round table here like in the Life magazine covers? I can't seem to recall."

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein will look over and says "Not sure, I aint explored to much myself yet. And trust me, I am still newish to this stuff to, heard all the stories, but only been doing the hero thing myself six months or so. He will move to open a door and says "Looks like a smaller one, but got symbols on their chairs at least."

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman walks into the room half remembering. Carter's memories are not always sharp. But he spots a hawk symbol on a chair and before he realizes he is sitting in a chair and pressing a stud to open a concealed drawer in the table.

Then there is a gavel in his hand and he is setting a sound block on the table before he stops himself. He looks to Nuklon... do you think I could? Would it be disrespectful? I mean... they were the first." He rubs the gavel between his hands. They never showed Hawkman with a gavel in te pictures he saw but... those guys could get loud. Especially after the war time expansion.

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein motions for him to go a head. "They took turns being the head for the meetings I think, I doubt anyone would mind, and besides, No one but us would know." He smiles a bit and looks at Atom's chair, and then find a more standard chair and pulls it over, with his size he has to be a bit more consious of where he sits.

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman stands and for a moment he is Carter Hall. "All rise... I call this meeting of the Justice Defenders to order. Wonder Woman, as secretary, would you please read the minutes of the last meeting? Wait... they made Wonder Woman the secretary? They did. Wait, Wonder Woman took shorthand and typed? Wow. Different era, for sure."

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein grins over at the other man and says "So, I take it you just got the memories recently, and brought ya into the hero gig? You want to be a hearo before then?"

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman sits down. "Never in my wildest dreams but... well some bad things happened to friends of mine and I managed to get away. I dealt with the people who committed those acts. Are you a Mutant?"

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein looks to the other man and says "Pretty sure yea, not sure how much you might remember" He says with air quotes" Cyclotron was my actual grandfather. Firebrand took my mom in and raised her as her own, with Atom as her Godfather. I was born normal but was always large, and at puberty it kicked in more, but the full fledge powers came in a bit later."

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman nods and replaces the gavel. "I got birds trying to tell me stuff all the time. Corvids are real jerks. Hey..." He slides the drawer closed with a click and suddenly looks up.

"Nuklon... you want to form the new Justice Defenders?"

Albert Rothstein has posed:
Albert Rothstein hmms, and says "Might not be a bad idea, I have kicked it around but was not sure if I was experienced enough. With your memories popping in and stories I have heard we might be able to do it together.
