## S3E117 - Niccal And Dime

2019, October 27th
Well... Today was my first real day on the team. I hadn't been on any Big Team missions or anything before. I guess I'd assumed there would be like... a cork board or sign ups or something? I wanted to mingle, though. So I went to the Community Center for the big spooktober event! It was fine, it was *fine.* I wore the classic Cyclone costume under a business suit. You know, because Mayor Crossover won? So I thought I'd be... Mayor Cyclone. I'm not upset that people kept calling me Business Cyclone. It's *fine!*
I'm not upset, you're upset?
I wasn't sure when I arrived who all was with the team until I looked a little harder. I certainly didn't think Carmilla was a real vampire until I met her. WOW was I **wrong.** Anyway so I go up to Verve and I'm committed to being cool, making a good first impression. I uh... Did not do that. I was really excited but it probably went well? EVENTUALLY? I don't know! I must be the most obnoxious person for the established Big Team folks. Then I met Ellen Drummond but like... my age. Weirder things have happened, I'll admit, but I wasn't expecting it. See, I thought it was just someone doing a weird choice in costume until later into the day.
Right, so... First impressions out of the way. **MY FIRST TEAM UP???**  I shouldn't be excited, people got hurt! I GOT HURT! But it was pretty awesome? People at the party started turning into muscle zombies. I saw the stronger looking girls jump to action so I decided to start getting people OUT. I'm sure this stuff is all up online so if I remember stuff wrong, sorry! Anyway, so it turns out that the food was causing this... The Mortician was? Or both.
I didn't know that at the time. After a bit of scuffling with the muscle zombies, all the lights get shut off because SABOTEUR GOT TURNED INTO A ZOMBIE TOO? I couldn't see crap! Next thing I know, the lights come back and Carmilla has beaten up the Saboteur and she's uh... really... **pointy**. And she was already dashing before but I gotta say... vampirey looking is kinda... Look, journal, we've been together a long time and you know I have a type.
ANYWAY. Then I didn't feel great, gotta be honest. I ate some of the food and Mortician got me while I was trying to help throw down with her. I could feel myself slipping. I was turning into one of those zombies. I don't really remember what happened after that for a moment... Ah... I haven't watched the videos because I think it'd be super weird to see myself turn a bit zombie. And a lot of this was really scary. Verve saved me from a zombie at one point, I'm pretty sure? It happened really fast.
So the next thing I know, people are panicked and all over the place. I run off to try to calm them down. It was pretty wild? I just had a spark of inspiration, apparently, because I was **FED UP** with the civilian people and just GAVE THEM THE BUSINESS. Called them 'nerds' and everything. They all started cheering that Big Team was here. **That I was here?** Journal, I'm like, a real ass hero tell you what.
Skip forward a bit and the team joins up again and there's a fight with Bloodshot. They try to throw knives at all of us! AT ONCE. It was cool! Horrible but really cool. And like, obviously just phased because villains are baby school and I'm the big league chew. I wasn't following the situation that well but I knew stopping Bloodshot was important? They could phase, journal. So obviously I tried to phase and tackle them but I just passed through them. Ugh, that was... awful. I fell through the wall and all I could feel was noncorporeal for longer than normal and I could hear **screaming** in my head. I think Bloodshot might be like a ghost or something...? They got away, though. But Verve came to check on me because I was screaming from the other side of the wall. I'm gonna be the better phaser next time, mark my frickin' words. MARK 'EM!
After that we all met up for ice cream, which was awesome. I can't believe I'm a real Big Team member? Oh, except for Verve. She stayed behind on her own for probably some important hero stuff. Like, she keeps her private life totally secret like a real deal pro super. I think all that talk about her blowing up power in the city are out of proportion maybe. I could see how something could go wrong like that during a mission and she seems responsible and put together to me?
SO IN SUMMARY, oh my god my team all so hot and cool. We stopped whatever Bloodshot was doing, I'm told. Half of the time I was just kinda in a trance watching the others do their thing and trying to help or keep up! TURNING TO LIGHTNING? HUGE BLOODY CLAWS? STRONG COOL BIKER ARMS THAT COULD LIFT MY BODYWEIGHT I BET? Gosh. Ugh, okay I need to get it together, journal. What I need to do is to stop being a step behind and trying to keep up. Next time... I'm going to show them who Rea Remington is for real. Watch this!

## S03E??? - Art Movies, Villains, and Smooching

So, journal. I have something **wild** to tell you. I did more super heroing today with the Big Team and that *wasn't* the biggest stuff I got up to. There was a short movie festival in the park and it was pretty boring. Honestly, I was just going to see Skye. Which I did! Next thing I know, the videos all get hijacked and are blaming Big Team for messing up the city and not protecting people. Which is pretty bitter irony for them I bet because we managed to get the movie-goers to safety before engaging the baton nerds who came to fight us.
They weren't even a match for us and before long a big jerk showed up. Pollenator. By this point, Skye had filled the place with portals and some Big Team guy I still don't know had stepped in. And the new Celerity was there! I hadn't met Jawbreaker yet, either. Anyway, we all teamed up and dunked this guy into dust and he got arrested. They didn't do a great job making us look bad, it feels like. I took point on the team for that fight and people seemed totally cool listening to my strategy and making it happen. Really cool Big Team outing. But...
The after is where it gets interesting. I find out the guy who left afterward goes by Manaline and he's pretty mysterious. Lotta mysterious people in this group. We all kinda go kill time and I tell Skye I'm gonna catch up later. Well, the new Celerity and I go get ice cream. His name is Brian and he's cute as heck. And we made out. That's right, baby. Ya girl Rea made out with Celerity! Hah.
Oh yeah, and remember how I'd catch up with Skye later? I did catch up with them and we went shopping. That shop sucked but the clothes were pretty on point at least. The people were annoying as heck. We ended up modeling clothes for each other in the fitting room and fooling around, kissing. It was... nice. I really like them? And after all that we ended up stealing the clothes we liked and portaling out. Probably not becoming of a super hero but...! It was really fun and the big time heroes can't be disappointed in me if they don't find out?
Last but not least... I bet you thought making out with two hotties was the end of it. So did I, but Jawbreaker wanted to help me learn some weapons training. She has a really cute accent and I couldn't help but want to show off and flirt a little. And I may have showed off and flirted **a lot**. Or she let me win that sparring match? I'm not sure. But I won, and I pulled her into a kiss. I was so nervous going into Big Team but maybe I got a bit over confident? Hah! I'm gonna ride this high forever. Watch this!

## S03E??? - Fire And Rose Petals

My forever high couldn't last forever, I guess. I'm out doing some climbing and taking scenic shots of Halcyon to post online and something flew by! Weird but not that weird by this city's standards. I get the call to action from someone on Big Team. It starts off **kinda** simple? The library is all pixelated looking and there's people guarding out front. We had to get inside apparently. There was a dinosaur, a little one, and it uh... knew Weatherman I think?
I hadn't met these team members before. Weatherman seems cool and... Well, I'll get to that. But I feel bad about today. Same with Atomica. I didn't know she was Big Team and young. Ellen Drummond and now Atomica... Weird. I should figure out what that's all about some time. Anyway, then there was Grim. I really like her whole aesthetic. Very cool! Well the library was horribly guarded. We just went in the side door but... uhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............................
Okay I'm trying to figure out how to.... explain this place. My phone became a weird cyberphone thing and a bunch of us transformed. I saw Ernest, Weatherman, do it first. He turned into like a prismatic moth or something and it was **awesome**. I immediately smashed that button and turned into a bad ass fox lady with armor and a *huge sword*. Grim stayed the same, and Atomica became... realy flashy. I'm not sure how to really describe it. I was kinda lost in it all. We hit a wall and the others were doing some work to figure out a way through it. I was getting impatient so I tried out my new sword! Not a great idea. Oof. The wall hits back, turns out. We did break it but that wasn't smart. I was mad at myself for making a stupid choice. We got warned about a rose lady who is apparently some kinda connected to the little dinosaur. They called 'em Agumon. I didn't catch the other one's name we were trying to rescue.
But two doors appear, right? So I'm trying to suss out if either door is fishy and one of them **super is**. It feels way off, a sinister vibe for sure. At first I propose avoiding it but the team point out that it's not real heroic to leave the danger for others. ...And they're right! So we go in and it's an elevator and takes us directly down to the missing little data monster we're saving and some... ugh. Disgusting baddies. They were like... poo. But metal. I don't wanna get into it. I couldn't use my phaser in here but I could bounce really hard and used that to get to the little fella. Well, tried to. I got smacked so hard I knocked into a wall and my bounce powers made it really hard to get back on my feet. Just a winning day for Faker all the way through. Haha... Then *she* shows up. The rose lady. Agumon and the other team members who had been here before seem spooked to see her.
Everyone kind of hesitates, and I'm mad at myself for falling so short this whole time. I finally get to my feet again and take charge. We had a really good coordinated attack on her. Weatherman and Grim messed with her senses and I used my bounce force to fling Atomica right at her and it was a good hit! Well, I thought it was. I figured we would just knock her the heck out like the last big bad I fought. Oh heck was I wrong. It went by in a flash while we were all trying to give this lady a beat down. I look over and Agumon is shouting and Weatherman had lost his moth wings and gotten run through with the rose lady's sword!
She starts to taunt us. The shock of it took us all offguard, I think. We lost Atomica the same way. I was seeing red at this point. One of the rose swords was on the floor so I threw it at her and yelled. I wanted her to stop hurting my team! I didn't care if the sword hit, it was just to keep her attention split. I brought down the BIG sword on the rose lady. Something about us having more fight than she thought. I don't know. We fought for a little bit and the next thing I know, there is a **huge** data monster aiming a big energy cannon right at her. I pull the sword and keep pressing her guard so she can't move and manage to get outta the way just in time. I see her skid across the way and Grim did what had to be done. It should have been the coolest win but the second it ended we both ran to check on our team.
I know we talked about things post mission but it's all a bit hazy trying to look back. Right now, all I can think about is that they were listening to me in that fight. And two of them almost died. I got ahead of myself, Big Team trusted me, and I let them down. I'm not really sure if I belong here if I can't even... Keep a calm head in the action. Ugh. Anyway, watch this. **I guess**.
