*Mahoro paused for a moment.*
Mahoro: "You know-YES! Take the cop car. Your mission is not an under cover or low key mission. You must show our presence in this city and deter any illegal acts."
*Mahoro thought to herself that she shouldn't doubt her original decisions or else she would never get the respect of those under her command. Meanwhile, in the garage, Kade hit a button on the wall opening one of the metal garage doors for the Tank Man and Arsenal.*
Kade: "HEY! I told you those where the old models. It doesn't have self set GPS yet. But don't worry, just head get out of this area as inconspicuous as possible, then head west. I'll probably have your GPS set up by the time your out of this district. Good luck!"
*As the Garage door opened, the cold air from outside rushed into the garage. The sky was grey and the ground was wet. It had snowed two days ago and the snow was still melting. Unknown by looking up at the sky, the time of day was noon.*

Yori glanced to Levi and back at Mahoro. "We'll take the bus," she answered, turned on her heel and walked out.

Levi shrugged, flashing a grin at Mahoro, and lept off his seat to follow Yori.

The Tank Man waited for the door to be up enough and then gunned the motorcycle. It revved and flew out of the garage at it's top speed, an impressive 57 mph. The Tank Man swerved around the traffic, knowing Robot would catch up to him. He hit a patch of black ice and the bike turned sideways, skidding next to and almost hitting a little old lady crossing the street. The Tank Man waited, trying to pat out the small bit of burning cloth from the skid, impatient for the woman to cross. He was about to go when the light turned red. The Tank Man sighed, letting his head fall while he waited for a green light.

*Mahoro gave Yuri a strange look as she left to catch a bus with Levi. Kade ran back inside the main room of the HQ, almost running into Levi as she made her way to one of the computers. Kade quickly sat down and put on a headset of headphones with a microphone on her human ears as the monitor turned on. The computer had been on since last night and the screen was already set up with map of the city on it. Kade entered in the GPS coordinates and sent them to the Tank Man and Arsenal. She then started setting the coordinates for Levi and Yuri. Mahoro got up and picked up a small backpack from the box she had brought in. She noticed El Wray exit his room, wearing his bulletproof vest and black jacket. He was heading for the garage when Mahoro's eyes went wide as she noticed El Wray holding a sheathed Chinese straight sword that she recognized. At the hilt of the sword was a dark blue and white yin yang symbol. Although Mahoro had seen Chinese straight swords with the yin yang symbol in many different colors, she knew of only one that was actually being used to kill people and was recently taken from the very same criminal as evidence. Mahoro thought quickly about her choice of words. If anyone knew the Hero League was working with "him", there would be massive problems.*
Mahoro: "El Wray!"
*El Wray didn't bother to look at Mahoro but stopped still facing the door to the garage.*
Mahoro: "How mad is Star going to be when she finds out?" El Wray: "I don't know, but if she does, she'll understand. I hope." Mahoro: "You shouldn't-" El Wray: "Don't worry. Chopper is all the back up I'll need for this. Besides if he kills me, at least you know who to call and what to say." Mahoro: "Don't trust your eyes with him." El Wray: "No worries."
*El Wray left the room and went into the garage. He tried to hide the sword in his jacket but part of the sheathed blade stuck out from his jacket. El Wray left on foot in order to not be tracked by the other members. His informant was an assassin, one he had worked out a deal with before. The only difference this time was that the assassin had a contract on him. As El Wray walked away from the Hero League HQ, he thought of only one thing.*
El Wray: I wonder if there is anyone who goes by the name "The Platypus"?
*Time passed as all the Hero League members traveled to their mission assessments. Kade who was working dispatch had decided to take a cat nap in her chair, despite Mahoro telling her not to. While Kade wasn't transmitting, she left her earphones on incase anyone had to speak to her. Being the first ones to leave and by not taking a bus, Arsenal and Tank Man arrived in front of the weapons plant, outside its main gate. Looking through the fence they could see a large parking lot that lead up a large manufacturing facility. The weapons plant was on the west side of town and was furthest building west of the city that was still apart of the city. Across the street from the weapons plant they could see a parking garage with an alleyway next to it. Looking in the alleyway you couldn't see much because a bunch of dumpsters, trash cans, and boxes were in the way. The Alleyway was big enough to fit a big rig in it, provided all the dumpsters and crap were pushed to one side, but it was clear from looking in the alleyway that there wasn't a big rig or a large ice cream truck in it. As for the parking garage, nothing but small amount of cars could be seen from the street. It was clear to see from the ceiling clearance that there wasn't a big rig or large ice cream truck inside the parking garage. The building next to the parking garage looked closed or abandoned. After spending some time figuring out the bus schedule and how to make it to one of their target areas the fastest with as little transfers as possible, Pulse and Snow Rabbit ended up outside the strip club known as "The Lumberjack". Despite not being night yet, the club was open. Like some kind of theme park a song that seemed to be on a loop was playing outside. Over and over again as Pulse and Snow Rabbit got closer they could hear "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok. I work all night and sleep all day" just playing those very same words over and over again. Outside, the lumberjack looked like any other strip club with its flashing lights, neon sighs, and pictures of some of the male dancers, most of which were dressed up as lumberjacks and looking as indecent as most department store models. The Strip club was east of the center of the city while being in more of the middle part of the east side of the city. Surrounding the strip club were other X-rated stores and theaters, some of which were clearly out of business or abandoned. There were only a few people in the area that could be seen, some of which looked like prostitutes and others looked like johns. All around them, the very air felt dirty as all sorts of things could be happening in this part of the city.*

Slightly hunched over and with one hand up to his face to block himself from the view of the general population, Levi grudgingly approached the gaudily decorated building. He kept his gaze down but knew he was near when he could sense the electric hum of the neon lighting. Though it was virtually impossible for someone to recognize him this far from home, he assumed a man could never be too cautious when entering a Chippendales bar. He didn't look up at the building until he could actually see the bright colors on the sidewalk. Levi wasn't sure whether it was the electrical discharge from the lighting or the vivid colors and posters of male models that made his stomach churn, but he banked on the latter.
"After you," he sighed to Yori, shifting his gaze back to his feet.

The woman, still dressed in civilian clothes, nodded in agreement to Levi, giving him a comforting pat on the shoulder for reassurance, then stepped inside.
(EJP, we need a description of the layout before we can continue, as well as anything that greets us once we're in there.)

(Yo, just thought I'd let you know. If you feel I'm lacking in detail in any area feel free to let me know.)
*As Levi and Snow Rabbit entered the strip club they were bombarded with screams and then greeted by a very tall and muscular woman in a suit. She didn't seem to pay Levi any attention.*
Bouncer Woman: "There is a $15 cover charge to get in. $20 for you boy yo."
*At the entrance to the club was the bathrooms to the right and to the left was a bounchers station with a cash register and coffee machine. The Strip Club appeared to be larger on the outside than on the inside. Inside there were 3 runway like stages with the center one being longer than the two next to it. Around these runway like stages there were bar like tables with uncomfortable looking bar stools that were bolted to the ground. The lighting in the club seemed to focus solely on the stages and the bar that was off to the left of the entrance, past the female bouncer. The bar was well lit with an orange light that made it difficult to tell what the color of your drink was. Behind the bar you could see all kinds of bottles of booze on a shelf with all kinds of glasses below the shelf. At the bar was a female bartender with facial piercings and overall was dress in a punk look to her with slightly dyed hair. Away from the stage covering just about every wall was a dimly lit table booth with mirrors so that you could see the stage while not facing it. Away from the table and in the center of the club were tables that were even worse lit than all the booths. Each table in the club had a small menu and a salt shaker. It was unclear if it was possible to eat at this strip club, but it was for certain that you would be able to drink all the booze you could want. All the screams came from around the center stage where a male dancer had striped down to a shiny teal thong. 10 women surrounded the stage trying their best to touch the man and put money in his thong. The strip club was rather dead at this time, all the booths and table were empty except for the 10 women around the stage that had only one dancer on it.*

"Thirty-five dollars, then," Yori added up as she fished into her purse for the funds and handed them to the bouncer, her thick accent making her nation of origin clear as always. "Anything else?"

[My bad...]
Arsenal scanned the scene absently. "What now? It's so empty over here." He continued to take in the bland scenery. "I hope you were listening to El Wray that whole time because I was in and out for that conversation."

The Tank Man shook his head. "The Tank Man only heard that it was multiple dealers over here. The Tank Man does not like out dated information. The Tank Man thinks we should... be more agrressive and find a worker to talk to about the lack of the dealer."

"You lead. If you run into any mouthy individuals, I could just round the corner and shut them up." He looked down at his suit. "Generally even the most street-hardened punks are offset by something like this staring them down." He waved his hand off in another direction, none in particular, just for the sake of the gesture. "After you, Tank Man."

The Tank Man grinned and adjust his dark shades. "Time for some fun then." He turned off the engine and put the kick stand up. Popping up the back he grinned broader. "I never get to play with Betsy." He lifted out of the compartment a small RPG. He set her in the straps that normally held his shotgun, and instead nestled his shotgun in his hands. "Hail to the King." He headed down the aforementioned path, looking for Nikki the Names.

Levi considered offering to pay his own fees, but after deciding that that might make it seem like- God forbid- he wanted the bar's services for himself, he decided to reimburse Yori later.
