Out With the Old [modplot]
Who| Everyone who signed up
What| The rescue of the NPC Legionnaires
Where| A movie studio in New New York
When| Takes place the same time as "Books of Magic"
Warnings/Notes| N/a
The studio where the Legionnaires are being held is swarming with supervillains. It's a trap, of course. But that doesn't mean they have to walk right into it. They have a plan, and now it's time to put it into action.
The Legion of Supervillains are expecting the non-native Legionnaires to be pushovers. They're about to discover just how crushingly, devastatingly wrong they are.

It's a learning process, feeling out what Cortana needs to do her job (less than he would have thought for basic operations, more than he would have thought for optimal functioning) and what he can let her hitch onto (a whole, whole lot more than he had ever realized), and fast as he picks up on it in human time, on AI time he's obviously still very much learning. But he's focused, multitasking between opening the incursion-locked elements to Cortana and watching the ground around them for any sign of a hostile stirring.

In digital space, Cortana's not quite all out, but she's working hard, her demeanor not nearly so relaxed as her hologram's, and her personal presence flickers in and out of Theta's awareness as she re-prioritizes her attention from nanosecond to nanosecond across all her ongoing tasks. It's going to take North something on the order of seconds, maybe minutes to finish the repairs, and she has things to do besides wait around for humans. Her connection to the armor never wavers, but from moment to moment it could be Cortana herself, or merely one of her dumb subroutines quietly passing data back and forth. The overall impression is of someone fully capable of kicking in Theta's door, but who simply isn't bothering...or, more charitably, of a busy supervisor only occasionally checking in.

"North!"
"Got it." Rifle dropped from tucked under his arm to his hand, and he lazily puts two stun rounds between the shoulders at point blank range, scanning the rest and putting one more in the side of another who chooses a particularly poor time to groan. Then he's back to the panel, murmuring to Theta in the tense quiet of working as quickly as he can through the unfamiliar routine of swapping out wires. "So is Cortana patched in to my armor now?"
"Is that okay?" He has an idea of how little North actually understands what Cortana is, so even when he smiles and shakes his head, he frets.
"It's fine, Theta. You're doing great, but I'll take all the help I can get right now." He hooks up the last connector and gives it a scan, watching the play-along on his HUD blink green in approval. "How's that?"

As Cortana's speaking, more hard light forms are appearing around them, simple white ones with no fancy detailing, and in short order, everyone North took down is thoroughly and professionally restrained. Depending on their powers, it might not hold them for long when they wake up, but at least she'll know instantly from the feedback of the holograms being destroyed.
"Damn, these things are useful," she says, looking down at the prisoners, or more specifically, their bonds. Being able to influence the physical world without cajoling a human into doing it is a new experience for her particular brand of AI, and she likes it.
"Thanks..." a brief pause only Theta will notice as Cortana checks something with Delta "...Hardball. You too, Theta."

"Any time, Cortana." He lifts his hands in a lazy salute, picking his way back the way he came. He has a perimeter to keep prowling.
"I'll leave our comms channel open in case we can help again!" Maybe not the most probable, but it's possible, he and North already helped Cortana once and maybe they're get to work with her again.
"See you back at base?"
