Summit Passes Without A Hitch

The crowds waited with baited breath outside the O2 Arena and were rewarded with the first full public appearance of Britain's hot new team The Crusaders. They arrived last, after the people gathered had cheered in the ex New Crusader and Government official Lord Alistair McDonald A.K.A Caber, Major of London Boris Johnston, S.H.I.E.L.D agent Solomon Hurt, MI13 operative Blade, acting chief of Greater Manchester Police Tom Flin, Bow Street Runners representative The Yeti and Freestyle himself. As we waited patiently inside The Crusaders walked down the access road, a serious, dark, strong presence (except Gloop who waved Merrily to the crowd and showed off his up-till-then-unknown shape shifting ability).
The Crusaders passed the corden of Stephenson power armours and then split up, leaving four of their number guarding the perimeter; Fung Chi, Apex, Anathema and Not Alice, while Gamma led Gloop, Sinner and Urban into the room.
Freestyle had already requested a member of the media to be in the room for the first part of the talks and so contacted yours truly, Verity Luce, to act as Press officer and representative. A job that i treated with the utmost seriousness.
As the team entered the room the atmosphere changed from one of tension to an electrifying apprehension, a potential for great good or harm was clear in the air and to start with it was clear what Freestyle was spoiling for, and that was an argument.
With a cocky attitude he pressed The Crusaders on issues such as tensions between the Runners and their team and questioned the validity of their claim to even call themselves Crusaders. The issues were discussed robustly and Gamma clearly seemed to be the alpha male amongst his men while Freestyle carried gravitas perhaps above what he has shown in the past. With the talks going as well as possible it came to Gamma wanting to share information with the table and it was at this point that I was required to leave the room.
Standing outside I can only imagine the secrets and villains discussed but i can tell you that a short recess followed shortly after i left and Freestyle looked reserved and off balance as he grabbed some air. Back inside and they continued their talks for at least another half and hour before the group finally broke and as the other delegates left the room The Crusaders gathered all together to talk to Lord McDonald, then Blade and Finally Solomon Hurt.
Outside Freestyle and the other delegates left quickly though Lord McDonald consented to give me an interview regarding The Crusaders in the days that followed.
What has changed in the country now that this monumental meeting has taken place? Can the heroes move forward and embrace a new era of communication or has this simply cemented ill feeling and distrust? Only time will tell.
