The Code had been waiting out on the roofs again that night. He was waiting for the next member he had in mind for his society of superhumans. He only hoped the other fellow felt the same way. Naturally he was dressed in his outfit and had his face hidden under a mask and hood. His cape covered most of his body as he blended in with the shadows. He kept it to were he made little to no sound hoping Illustrated would show up sooner or later.
Illustrated Man walked out from the school, his skin visible from the light that was near his door. They moved and ungulated as the pleased. He did not mind. One would have to get accustomed to the sensation. His left shoulder would be strangely devoide of ink, which would make it noticeable in contrast to the rest of his body. A moment later a pair of powerful wings would be heard as a massive eagle landed beside Tripp, cocking it's head lightly as it looked at him. As soon as the Eagle made eye contact Luka would turn to the direction of it. "Who's there!" He would shout, seemingly making the Eagle shoot skyward. It would circle for a few moments before seeming to dive bomb Luka. Instead of attacking the man it would slam into his left shoulder, making the once bare skin become filled in with a tattoo that showed the Eagle over looking a canyon. It was his scout.
The Code smiled for a moment; this would have been the second time he was caught on the roof. Shook his head for a moment and forgot about it for now. His leapt of the root using his arms and leading with his feet. He would have landed into a crouching position before standing up on both feet. "What a nice eagle you have their." he would comment as that was proof that the man was the Illustrate Man he was looking for, or otherwise known as Luka. He managed a small smirk before he began to talk. "My name is the Code." he paused for a moment as his arms crossed over his chest. "Im putting a team together. Of course one to fight evil and protect those who need it." that would be most of what he decided to say since he didnt want to give too much away yet. "Ive been drawn to you, and I thought you would be a great addition to the team." he said commenting his powers and use of them.
Illustrated Man watched as the man displayed some acrobatic prowess as he dived off the roof. As soon as he realized the man was not a threat he would calm, though his face had not shown expression yet. "It has served me well." He would say as the man commented on his tattoo. "Code? I can only guess that is not your real name, but real names are truly taboo in our profession, no? Sense you were drawn to me I can only guess you have done some research, so I shall be taboo and give you my name in respect. Luka, and it is a pleasure to meet you Code." His hands rested inside the pair of black slacks he was wearing. If the mad had caught him an hour or two earlier he would have seen him in his usual suit, which was a white button up and a black blazer to match the black slacks. "Well, I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am already in a team, Excalibur. Not to mention I have obligations at this school."
The Codenodded as he understood but still wanted to try and make Luka think about it. "Well i understand," he paused, "But this organization has more to do with protecting the school, but also has its capabilities to protect those outside of the school." he would shrug for a moment, "Its not just the kids here at the school who need protecting, but its the kids, other mutants like the ones here. Who live on the streets and are punished for the things they have not done." he continued to talk doing his best not to rant. "It is also to protect those who are not mutants, who have families and to give those around us hope. That their is a light at the end of the tunnel. I think this Organization will give the students here who are scared, or upset as to the recent events and help them to see that their is good and that they are protect not just on the inside but on the outside as well." his arms tightened around his chest as he looked out of the corners of his eyes to make sure no one was coming. "The decision is yours, but it may be best to think about before you decide right away."
Illustrated Man listened rather intently, his pale blue eyes never breaking eye contact with the other. He remained motionless as the man spoke, though he did notice the man looking out of the corner of his eyes. A though passed Luka's mind 'Is he being overly caution due to him being her illegally? Perhaps there is more to what he is saying, something a bit shady? Maybe he is being pursued.' But these quickly ran through his mind, thinking he may be merely overly diagnosing such a small motion. Once the man finished he would nod. "Well, the things you say are truly a dream. Perhaps one worth fighting for. I do not believe I need to think this over. I will agree, with only a few conditions" It will not interfere with my obligations to Excalibur or this school, and I will be allowed to disagree with anything if I do not agree with it. If those are met, I will happily join this cause."
The Code smiled for a moment and nodded, "Of course I understand that Excalibur is your first priority, maybe one day their will be an alliance formed but until then im happy to have you apart of the team." He smirked for the last comment, "Well of course your opinions will be taken and accounted for. I also dont have any plans on disagreeing with you in the future." He smiled again before commenting one last time, "I do hope though, that you dont have any problems working with others." he let his arms drop from his chest as he would reach out his gloved hand to shake the other mans if he allowed it. "I will have our Tech specialist contact you soon. Do you have any questions you would like to ask before my departure?" he said waiting a moment before attempting to leave.
Illustrated Man merely nodded as the man reassured him. "Well, perhaps one day." He said as the man talked of a future alliance. When the man offered his hand Luka would accept it, giving the man a firm hand shake before bringing the tattooed hand back to the pocket of his slacks. "Well, when you have lived as long as I have, you learn to work with others whether you like it or not." His facial expression did not change, so it would be hard to tell if it was a joke or merely a statement. "I believe I understand everything. I will wait your Tech specialists contact. May I ask their name, so I do not nearly mistake them as a danger?"
The Code smiled for a moment as he nodded, "Well that is good." he said to his statement not taking the time to analyze weather it was a joke or not. "Well you probably know him better than I so i reassure you, you will not be startled or anything on that matter." he paused, "Our Identities will all be revealed to each other soon, since i have seen all of your faces its only fair you see mine. But until then i leave you as The Code." he said as he would begin leaving by scaling the wall. He didnt tell the man the identity of the Tech specialist only for his safety, even though he did trust the man you could never be sure.
