Sloane Rincourt | Subzero
Having cashed in a favor with Cleary Caswell to be teleported to the sleepy seaside town of Covetown, Maine, Sloane took a local bus route to @KirbyScott's neighborhood. The cryokinetic mutate wheels up to Kirby’s door and presses the doorbell.

@SloaneRincourt “Just a second!” Calls out a voice from within. Kirby was naked and had to quickly put on a robe before tapping the door-open button with her arm nub.

Standing on one leg just inside the vestibule is the young lady herself. She huffs and rolls her eyes. “I’m not buying whatever you’re selling.”

@KirbyScott “I assure you, Miss Scott, what I offer is priceless. We’ve gotten your message about wanting to join us. And believe me, we’d be delighted to have you on board.”

@SloaneRincourt “Right… And, uh, who is ‘we’, hm? I don’t remember sending out any messages recently.”

Out of courtesy, Kirby hops aside so that this mystery woman can enter. Her curiosity is piqued.

@KirbyScott “The Earth Defense Task Force, Miss Scott. And we have a very powerful telepath on our roster. She heard you musing about it.”

Sloane wheeled inside and peered up at the seven and a half foot tall young woman. “You’re very tall. Which is okay; we have a three meter tall Angel in our organization. So, you’ll fit right in.”

@SloaneRincourt “Wait, hold on. Who are you and why are you talking like I’m just going to say yes? I’m happy here. Why would I uproot my life and move to New York City just because the EDTF sent someone to recruit me?”

@KirbyScott “My name is Sloane Rincourt, but you may know me better as the superhero formerly known as Cryo. And we can offer you a life of thrill, excitement and responsibility. People will respect you as a hero, but you’ll have to earn that respect. The EDTF is a calling, not a profession. If that sounds appealing to you, then come with me.”

Outside, a black van with a chairlift pulls up in front of the house.

Suffice it to say, young Kirby Scott did follow Mrs. Rincourt. Tasha is going to have another custom tailored super suit to make.

Back in New York at Stark Tower, Kirby is astonished by her surroundings. She never imagined she’d have an actual recruitment meeting with EDTF Director Jessica Jones herself.

Kirby rolls into @AKAJewel's office, still in the same cotton bathrobe. But like Tasha Stark, Kirby has little to no sense of shame. She’d fight crime naked if it were allowed.
