Metro City was even before the event that people dubbed the Melding happened was a city ripe with crime and violence. The same could be said by another place called River City. Now in the city rechristened River Metro City the situation was at a boiling point. Not just from your typical street crime either. Now it was robots attempting to police the city through their new overlords, or the new crime lords that had made the place their home.
That was why the city’s current mayor Cody Traverse had sent out the call for help. Yet what he was looking for was quite…unorthodox.
In the mayor’s office Cody had turned around his chair and looked out through the window as his assistant, a woman named Marlowe was trying to talk some sense into him. “Mayor, yet again I must protest.”
“And for what is the hundredth time the answer’s no.”
Marlowe sighed. “When you requested me to try and find ‘fixers’ for our situation…I wasn’t expecting a request for only three people. Three people to keep your now 500000 citizens safe, you do realize that’s not possible?”
Cody twirled back around with a lazy smile on his face. “Why? That’s how we did it back in the day. Besides, I wanted three because then we can just say they were vigilantes. What do you think the people in charge of our problems would do if they knew we had hired an army to take them down? Or those two bald old guys who think they’re in charge?”
Marlowe was surprised to hear this from Cody…especially because it was quite a sound plan. “Even so. Do you think they can succeed?”
Cody shrugged. “If they can? Great, less for me to worry about, and even if they don’t. I’m sure they’ll be able to fix some of our problems before everything’s said and done.” As he finished the intercom on the phone came to life with a woman’s voice.
“Mister mayor? Your 2pm is here.”
“Great. Send them in.” The door started to open as three individuals stepped in. “Let’s get this show on the road.”
