For Red Terror, it was easy to infiltrate the Hero's Society. Suspiciously easy, actually. All he had to do was change his pseudonym and put on a different costume. He had even been given a guided tour by one of the Society's biggest names.

Red Terror followed behind the tall, aggravatingly muscles form of Capt. Justice. The hero had been a thorn in Red's side for far too long. So he took far too much joy in asking the most annoying questions he could. He made his questions fanboy level at times, at least at first. He had calmed down during the tour itself. It was important to learn as much about the enemy's facilities as possible.

"And here we have the assignment room." The hero said. "Here's where you'll get your missions, and what city you'll be assigned to for most of your career."

Red looked in. The room was dominated by a large holographic map of the country, with computer stations set up circling it. All of the major cities were highlighted, and the few stations he could see showed a list of the heroes active in those cities. But there was something about what the Captain had said that tugged at Red's mind.

"Why would I be assigned to a city?" He asked. "All of them are covered by at least two heroes already, and the really big ones have more."

"Oh, don't worry about that. Just know that you'll be working with pros at every moment."

That was not as comforting as it was probably intended. Red knew sinister language when he heard it.

"Well, that's good to know." He said, storing the conversation away for later.

As the two left the room, another hero came down. She was a smaller woman, well, smaller relative to other heroines, in that she was not threatening to bust out of her costume at every moment. Red knew her as Shift, but he had never dealt with her.

"Hey, Cap." Shift said. "Who'd you peeve off to get newbie duty?"

"Hey, I volunteered for this one." Justice said. "He's very promising, you know."

"Uh-huh, sure you did." She said while obviously rolling her eyes. "Anyways, I'm sure you know this, but I'm Shift."

She extended a hand. Red took it and glanced quickly at her hand.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Red Surge." He said.

As their hands separated, he hid the note she had slipped him. She left without even a second glance. The tour continued. It was not until it was done that he was able to duck into a bathroom.

Looking at the note, he read quickly. 'Want to know the truth?' it said. Then it gave an address and a time. He took some time to memorize the address before disposing of the note. There was definitely something else going on here. Something he wanted to know. A weakness in the Society that could be exploited. And what kind of villain would he be if he did not do just that?
