Girls' Day Out

Some of the girls on the New Champions invited me to a "girls day out" to find the final briefcase as a favor for Division. This included The Hot Shot, Liliana, and Ghost. The Hot Shot drove us over to a section of Millennium City where we were supposed to meet with a courier who had gotten his hands on the briefcase, along with a couple of heroes named Chiller and Ahem. Unsurprisingly, Destroyer's agents greeted us on the scene.
 
I hit the ground running, knocking agents out left and right with Kung Fu moves. Liliana unleashed her spirit magic, Ghost used her devastating strength and flight, and the Hot Shot opened fire with her heat rifle. My strikes were so potent that I nearly killed one of the agents with a ferocious strike. I felt little empathy for him as he had nearly killed the courier, but as usual Liliana expressed her strange empathy for him. I don't understand her ideology, as she is far too eager to spare her opponents especially when they have committed vile deeds. Unfortunately, Ahem, Chiller, and the courier were knocked out by the Destroyer agents and Ghost ran into a supervillain named Orion. It seems that Orion was hostile, and Ghost required Liliana's assistance against him. It is the first time I have heard of the cosmic being meeting her match! Truly this Orion must've been incredibly powerful!
 
I rescued the courier and the supers with Hot Shot's help, depositing them in the latter's car. I sprung out to retrieve the briefcase as well, and ran into the car when Liliana reported that Orion's allies were coming onto the scene and that we needed to extract ourselves from the scene. The extraction was successful and we returned to base, rendezvousing with Ghost and Liliana. Apparently, the briefcase contained some sort of advanced scientific information. I hope that the resistance will be able to make use of it, even if I don't understand it.
 
Reflecting on things, it was enjoyable to fight alongside those three other women in the New Champions. Ghost's power is always appreciated and I enjoy talking to her, even if in some ways she is like a child (which apparently in some ways she is given her young age). However, she is a very wise child beyond her years and has much experience fighting Destroyer. Apparently she has fought other foes as well that she doesn't understand. We will have to talk more in the future, perhaps when I return to China I can bring her along. Liliana's magical knowledge and abilities are quite extraordinary as well, plus I did enjoy having tea with her. It is clear we don't see eye-to-eye on ethical and philosophical matters, but I sympathize with her recent losses. It is devastating to lose those you care about, especially when it's the doings of a tyrant. I didn't like the Hot Shot when I first met her- as I found her to be a bit annoying and undeservedly cocky, but she has grown on me. She cares greatly about her family, plus a sniper is always appreciated in a firefight.
 
It is a shame I don't know the other women on the team very well, but the opportunities haven't presented themselves. Perhaps sometime in the future I can get to know Wildthing, Jamie, and Sarah. They are mysterious, but so were Liliana and Ghost when I met them.
