Do I?

Nolee crossed her arms over her chest, mumbling under her breath.

"So why us? Whats to say we have power?" Carter asked. His powers were more subtle but he had them none the less. Nature was his forte.

"I know. I've heard things," Ted said, mysteriously.

Jace looked at Ted. "I think I've met you before."

Carter smirked, "Oh? And what has the great Ted DiBiase heard about little old Carter Lacroix?" Truth was, he wasn't the government offical like his sister. He stayed out in the backwoods taking care of a small log cabin he lived in by himself.

Ted smirked at him. "That's classified above you level of clearance," he flirted.

Carter laughed, "Well, I guess I'll just have to get some higher level clearence."

Nolee sighed and walked over to Jace, "Look...I'm sorry I was so rude..."

Ted chuckled softly, already free of stress. He could tell he and Nolee were going to butt heads. "I guess so," he replied.

Jace smiled at her. "That's fine. I would have reacted the same way," he replied.

Carter smirked, "So, what case does yer new squadron have to carry out?"

Nolee shook her head, "It's not fine. I've been cranky since they pulled me from the FBI to come here..."

"Right now? Nothing. We have no missions. But I needed to make sure I had a team for when we got on," Ted said.

Jace smiled. "Really. It's fine. I understand," he said and looked up into her eyes.

Carter nodded, "So...uh...not to be rude Mr. DiBiase....but they wouldn't put together a new squadron unless they feard for the worse on a case. Last time it was because there was the Calloway brothers to deal with. There has to be something they are worried about."

Nolee smiled, "Well, I thought I'd apologize anyways."

"Oh, there's always something to worry about. But we don;t have anything official right now. It wasn't their idea for me to put a new team together. It was mine," Ted said.

Jace smiled. "I'm Jace. Jace Walker," he introduced.

"So yer the one who called me away from my cabin in the woods..." Carter sighed.

Nolee extended her hand, "Nolee Lacroix."

Ted nodded. "Sorry. I like to have the best and I heard you were good with nature," he said.

Jace smiled. "It is very nice to meet you," he said.

Carter nodded, "I am. And your powers?"

Nolee smiled, "So what can you do?"

"Telekenisis, telepathy and I can mess with people's minds," Ted replied.

Jace smiled. "I can levitate and I'm really smart," he replied.

"Ah," Carter smiled, impressed.

Nolee smiled, "That's interesting. I don't have any powers."

Ted nodded. "Yeah, it comes in handy," he joked.

Jace smiled. "There's no shame in that," he told her.

"I bet it does," Carter laughed.

Nolee sighed, "You've never heard of the infamous Lacroix's have you?"

Ted smiled. He liked Carter. A lot.

Jace nodded. "No, I have. But you do not have to have powers just because of your family. The only person who bring you down is yourself and you control the way you deal with things," he said.

Carter took his cowboy hat off, "So share soem of your upper level clearence. What do we have to worry about?"

Nolee smiled, "Thanks Jace but it's not that simple. I bet your family never told you how much they hated you, how much of a powerless freak you were."

"We have a few lowkey threats, but nothing big right now. The Calloway's are in custody, so for now we're pretty good," Ted replied.

Jace shrugged. "Sure I have. I mean, not the powerless part but a few other select things."

"And they need a talented squadron to take on low key threats?" Carter asked.

Nolee cocked her head to te side, "Like what?"

"Like I said, it was my idea. And they're low key for now," Ted replied.

"I'd rather not talk about it," Jace said, frowning for the first time.

Carter nodded, "Welp, it's gettin late..."

Nolee frowned, "Sorry I asked..."

Ted looked at the time. "It's 11," he said.

Jace shook his head. "It's fine."

Carter laughed, "Fine, yeh talked me into it. I'll stay."

Nolee shook her head, "I obvioulsy made you-" she stopped when her phone rang. "Hello...Commishoner Bischoff! Yes I ...but...where? Damn...I'll talk to the team." she hung up, "Mark Calloway escaped..."
