 Kaldur nods. "And not merely risks of detection. People they recruit from this time period are unlikely to share their particular ideology. They might well decide to simply take their equipment and then leave."

"I dunno." Wallace frowns. "If they've been here since the fifties then they've probably converted some people. I mean, we've fought actual Nazis twice now and the Nazis lost the Second World War. These guys win the future."

Beryl nods. "Am I the only one finding it strange that a time travelling hero wants to change the future?"

Kaldur raises his right eyebrow. "What surprises you about that?"

"I always thought that a hero would be the one trying to keep things as they are."

"Earth gets huge chunks of its population killed by the Reach, then gets unified under a fascist. If I had a time machine, I'd try to prevent that."

"Except we don't know that happens, do we?" She takes another sip of coffee. "Our only information sources are Nylor Truggs and Abra Kadabra."

"Who both said the same thing. And Kadabra had heard of Per Degaton."

Kaldur shrugs. "Whether their foreknowledge is entirely trustworthy or not, we have a syndicate of assassins to apprehend. Squire, any word from Batman?"

She brings up her arm computer for a moment. "Nope. Nothing yet."

Mister Hunter was a little disturbed to learn that some of his future information was no longer accurate. He didn't know that the League of Shadows was no longer active, and several of the sites he suggested we investigate didn't show any sign of illegal usage. But there were enough signs of recent usage that the team is being deployed along with the League to some of the more important sites.

"I haven't really been watching television. How's the whole 'angel' thing been playing?"

Beryl shrugs. "A lot of people using a lot of words to say nothing. Your interview wasn't exactly informative." Her eyes narrow slightly. "Which.. was intentional. When's the follow-up?"

"Sunday. And they'll be putting me on with people who'll be asking slightly more searching questions."

"You, ah..?" Wallace looks at me curiously. "You actually going to tell them what sort of fruit it was? Because breaking into Eden-"

"I didn't actually break-"

"-and taking a fruit-"

"-into Eden."

"-is a li-ttle more serious than taking some random fruit."

"That partly depends on whether Ms Blaze has shown any sign of understanding theurgy. If she does, I'll ask her to come on with me and I imagine that will set people's minds…" Wallace and Beryl glance at each other. "At ease. What?"

"A-ah…" Wallace grimaces. "Look… You don't think people who've been Christians or.. Jews or whatever their whole lives aren't gunna.. have a hard time with the fact that you've had more angel face time than they have?"

"Wallace, you don't need an invitation to visit KordTech. If you want some face time just-."

"No, not-. I mean, yeah, I probably will. But you've had more contact with an agent of God than anyone."

"Actually… Zauriel pretty much said that they usually stay invisible."

Kaldur seems less than impressed. "It would have been helpful if they had been a little more visible when demons overran Fawcett City."

"Kaldur, I stole a single pomegranate. While I could try taking the Silver City to task for their serial absenteeism, it seems to me that would generate.. more heat than light. Hopefully when Zauriel comes back we can-."

"Batman to team."

Beryl raises her arm again, inadvertently throwing her coffee across the van floor and then mouthing obscenities to herself. The rest of us come to a sort of seated attention, locking eyes on the screen.

"Doctor Mist confirms that Eliminations, Inc technology is only weakly resistant to magic. However, their technology interferes with all other forms of detection. We will not be able to get a good read on either the layout or the garrison until the attack begins. Call out weapons and defensive technologies as you see them."

We all nod, though on this sort of broadcast he can't see us.

"Proceed with the attack. Batman out."
