The Pride
They call themselves the Pride. as in
pride of lions. Mask's idea, since they are essentially the
farm team for the more powerful Predators. Think of Conan
Doyle's Baker Street Irregulars, with super powers. Granted,
they aren't in the same league as the Predators, or any of the
Minutemen teams but still, they have their niche in the scheme
things. At least around San Diego. Mask knows he and his
little group of petty criminals are nothing more than a source of
income for Overdrive but he has his own plans. Problem is
Slugger has already run afoul of the newly formed Minutemen White
team in the form of Nat Ryan and Wren Collins.
For now Mask is taking a 'wait and see' attitude even
going so far as to ship Slugger back up to Compton until the thing
with Filch cooled down. Until then, He'd have Cream and Snap
keep an eye on the girl. One thing worried him, though, Mack
knew about her and might decide to take her into the Predators.
That would be a hefty loss of income for him but he wasn't going to
argue the point. Last time he'd done that, Mack had broken his
arm and Mask didn't care much for pain. He was going to have
to look into this surfer thing though ... |
