I'm not sure of Lobo's mercenary code, but I'd say with Maltusian resources that Paragon should definitely have the technological edge. Hiring Lobo for stuff seems more like Renegade's MO; if he can deal with ponies, he can probably deal with all the powers that come with Lobo's (semi-) joke-character status.
They said humans generally.
NATO?
The martians are working on that themselves. There isn't really any need for external observation.
They already hired Mother of Mercy. Changing a biosphere shouldn't be a minimal participant activity if you want people to actually care about it.
Swamp Thing is the champion of the Green. He's there to beat things up, not set policy.
Wow that's an old callback, the twenty-fifth chapter. Here it is for anyone curious.
"Is". Singular vs Plural.
Autocorrect.
And now he's in a happy committed relationship with excellent sex with her so good luck making him feel guilty Mr. Jelly.
No I think that's correct.
Well, holiday's over, back to work it is. And first on the list: Checking in on certain persons of interest, eh? Presumably he's out legally, since I doubt he'd want to fuck up his chances at a clean parole by making an escape attempt.
Probably far too early in the morning for cheerfulness, as far as he's concerned. Even if it is nearly lunchtime.
Unfortunately, outside of OL, how many options do they have? I can't help but think one or two might be thinking 'railroading' about his offers...
I suppose fighting to protect others would provide a good reference of character for a pardon. Wonder if any simply used the opportunity to duck out and flee?
Your new best friend, Lenny.
Drink up, and feel the sunshine.Huh, healing potions will fix hangovers? Well, I suppose they can be considered a harmful medical condition (altered chemical balances and dehydration, among other things.)
Sorry, OL's taken.
Well, can you imagine trying to list the 'active ingredients' in something that does its' thing by magic?
Hey, it's not unreasonable that they might be genuinely concerned what the potions actually do to people. I mean, a mystical supervillian could easily make a version that adds a mind-control effect.
...Oh, I know that's not a date. So, Lenny, who'd you go drinking with last night?
Oh, I bet he would. All those promises he made, and... Whoops, he's not in the office when Kadabra gets out of the pen. That could lead to some hurt feelings, all right.
Cheetah? Well, an alternate of him is dating a version of her. And OL knows that, if he asked that Clayface about it. But OL's interest is probably purely professional.
Ah, Digger 'Captain Boomerang' Harkness. Probably pardoned on the same deal (assuming he was in jail,) and celebrating their newfound freedom with a proper old piss-up, then.
To be fair, it's not like you could really keep him out if he really wanted in. At least he's asking.
Liquid Cannabis? The things people will do to get high. And nominally legal for use in America, if I read the article right.
I mean, he knew what it was the second his ring scanned the place... Still, staying on Lenny's good side is probably worth more than a minor arrest for drugs...
Ah, the good old 'The light, it burns us' response of the hung-over.
How about not, and something far better.
And that is one heck of a callback indeed.
He should, it's a damn good deal. But then, there's his ego to consider...
Specifically, the 'find gainful employment' part. Kind of important.
Told you. Ego. Cause of more than a few of his problems over the years.
I can see them being popular in ship-breaking. Being able to bend and tear metal with their bare hands and all...
Just don't leave it too long. Don't want a Flash turning up looking for you.
And now he's grinning like a loon on the inside. Even if he's trying to keep his poker face on the outside...
...But... Technicolour space babes!
Heh, bit of a jolt, eh? I guess some people have more lively reactions than others.
Drinking before noon? Not exactly classy.
I'm drawing a blank. Still, I guess we'll see soon enough.
They were testing the effects of temperature on biological systems. Specifically thermal expansion and friction.
Thank you, corrected.
It's a reference to Bruce Has A Problem.
Celebrating.
No it wasn't.
Oh, it's perfectly possible. It's just beyond the current abilities of any featured characters.
No.
I don't think it is.
If you really need it, sure, but when there's a very real risk of that being the last time it'll work (which is far from assured, but likely enough for this context), one should make it really count.
I think corporations are referred to using plural pronouns; so "are" is correct.
At least, they are in the UK, and since OL is the one talking, it fits. In the USA, corporations are theoretically individuals, though none have ever been executed, and thus Americans often use 'is' for some groups, including companies.
Ah, thank you, of course that makes sense. Yet again, a 'correction' isn't correct due to the whole US vs. UK divide.
Nice word games there Paragon.
I don't really understand the ending. Why would Leonard say that? To who is he talking? Or is it Harkness speaking? I don't see any reason for him to ask that question to the SI either, so maybe he's asking that to Leonard?
It's just Snart making polite talk, nothing more.
Leonard has decided to make him breakfast, since he was going to make breakfast for himself and Mr. Harkness, and he does actually like the SI.
The joy of competent minions.
How in the world did I miss this possibility (during that arc)? Great question. I doubt she'd feel super comfortable on her homeworld, but I reckon at least a trip was in order. And a debriefing on our earth. I hope we learn about her situation during this catch-up arc. I have a feeling only a fraction of this arc will really be about recent happenings and things will take a chaotic turn soon enough.
