In my last crafting-related post, among the photos was a glimpse at some doors I was working on. They’re more or less finished now, though they’re… well, usable but not really what I’d hoped for.

The team is gathering at their HQ for a weekly meeting to set patrol schedules, review police calls in the area, etc. Before the meeting, Vinny is leaning back watching TV on one of the monitors the given to them by the East Coast Protectors. A commercial comes on: “Do you have an awesome superpower
