GM 10:27 PM, July 12th, 2017 Center For Disease Control and Development: Atlanta, Georgia Most of the time, epidemiology needed to be public in order to work properly. People needed to be made aware of the disease. They needed to be educated on what they could do to prevent it. Public awareness was one of the greatest tools in the arsenal of epidemiology. This was not one of those times. "We don't know what's causing this?" Hyperactive looked at the "vector" as it banged against the glass. He was working on his second two liter bottle of Dr. Pepper. This was gonna be a long night. "No and we felt that it was better to get some support before heading out into the field." Replied Dr. Yang, the epidemiologist in charge of the crisis. "President Cahill has you on his list of heroes to call when we find ourselves up a creek without a paddle." "Sure, this is exactly what I signed on for. I'm gonna call in a little help, I promise they'll be discreet." Hyperactive was already feeling well out of his depth here. He grabbed his phone and hammered out two quick messages. "Woodsman, have a situation that may require some stealth and discretion. I think you may be able to help here. I have a situation in Georgia. I can pick you up." The scatterbrained Speedster sent. "Mr. Daggers. Names Hyperactive. Druid gave me your number. Got a situation in Georgia, could use some help. Drop your location, I can be there, fast." "Give me a few moments to retrieve some friends Doctor." Hyperactive said as he waited for a reply.

July 2017 Greenbank As the gateway slammed shut beneath Phantom's spells, Fast-Forward reflexively threw a hand over his eyes, shielding himself from the flare of mystic energies that meant that doorway to the Mayan realms were closed - for now. Quiet settled into the warehouse now, minus the scuttling and yowling of the few werejaguars that Ix Chel had created upon her first emergence to the realm of men. Or so his mystic book had told him, when he'd gone searching through it, not long before the beginning of the investigation earlier that week that had led he and Phantom to the same spot. "Thanks for this, Phantom," he said, standing with unexpected quietitude on the burn mark on the floor where the portal had lain. "Maria wouldn't have appreciated this getting out." He sighed softly, almost imperceptibly, thinking of FORCE Ops, El Gato, and how fate had led him to be the custodian of their memory even though he'd spent over a decade as one of their greatest enemies. - There were considerably more werejaguars than Daggers had anticipated. He'd run into them running out the back of the warehouse, the group of half-dozen in what had been security guard uniforms turning out to be formidable foes. "You'll be the first in Ix-Chel's new army! The jaguar goddess will be the birth of a new age!"

Once the tech boom hit, they never had to worry about money again. Jason, however, did not enjoy the sedentary lifestyle. His mother worried about him, but he had access to whatever dangerous new sport that came long. And he did so, with gusto. His father was a jet setter, and Jason travelled with him. Traveling all over the world, learning new and exciting ways of pushing his body. One trip in particular was life changing for him. In a Russian auction, he saw a pair of bone daggers that he had to have. Money was no object and after outbidding a particularly pale looking individual, he picked up his reward. On the way out, the man he was bidding against trailed him. The daggers warned him that he was being followed and to take the handles. Jason though that was weird. Without words he took the daggers in hand. the pale man attacked and Jason took him head on, knowing more than a few knife-fighting styles. The daggers took it a step further than Jason was comfortable with and slew the pale man. Though Jason would soon learn that the pale man was not human, but a vampire as the pale man crumbled to ash. The daggers told Jason that he was the owner of the daggers and that only though death would he be able to relinquish them. Until then he would hunt the evil that stalked the night, the vampires, the werewolves, the demons. Anything that would prey on humans. Initially Jason tried to ditch them, but as soon as he would, they would appear by his side or in his hands to protect him. He anguished over this torment for about a year, but secretly, the daggers were training him to fight the good fight. Eventually Jason relented. He rationalized that this was the most dangerous sport. Being a superhero. Personality and Motivation: Jason is a gracious person who looks after people. It's his lot in life and he enjoys it. He's a bundle of energy as Jason, trying everything at least once. Thrillseeking is something he enjoys. Not that he's hasty to throw his life away, but from the outside looking in, one wonders. Jason is motivated to help people in need. Either as a wealthy person or a hero. Powers and Tactics: Jason is a melee fighter, trained in several martial art styles. Though some times it doesn't even matter. the daggers that gave him his mission are his primary weapon. Fighting with gusto against supernatural creatures, the daggers always command him to make the fight short. He's only human, they remind him. Against nonsupernatural creatures, the daggers help him also, but he's learned nonlethal styles to deal with them. the daggers are less involved in those battles, sometimes not even bothering. Complications In It For Life: Jason has to pursue monsters until the day he passes on. This is not a choice. Mom and Pop: His family. Paying To Play: Jason puts his money into several big name sports organizations. The Real Job: No one but Jason (and the daggers) knows of his nightly heroic activities. Watch This!: Do not dare him. Do not give him a chance to show off. It would take divine intervention to stop him. What's Your Sign?: Jason is notorious in his pursuits to woo women.
