Hush was sitting in his brand new office, in his brand new chair, behind his brand new desk. This place had come up pretty quickly, despite the short notice the construction crew was given to erect it. The entire building still had a faint scent of saw dust, and paint. He chose the color scheme himself. It was to be his HQ, he should be able to make some decisions about it right? He looked down at the shot of whiskey he had sitting in front of him, and threw it back. He surmised it was probably time to greet his adoring fans that must be waiting outside. They all knew he had some big news to share, and were likely holding their breath, and turning a find shade of purple for the effort.

When he walked downstairs, he straightened his tie and approached the front door. He opened it, expecting a large crowd of people, but it turned out that it was only TonyTheTailor and Taupe waiting for him. It didn't matter, they looked at him with pure adoration, as they were wont to do. It seemed that this was the beginning of the fan club that was destined to take the country by storm.

Good afternoon, friends. It's a lovely day here in Chicago. As you know, there has been a bit of a shake up here in The Loop. TomJoad has decided he wanted to take it easy for the rest of his criminal career, and Father_OMalley has taken the reigns of our fair city. They've asked me to fill the void in leadership that has been left, and I eagerly take it upon myself to help bring Chicago to new heights. TomJoad took me in when I was a wee lad, trying to find my bearing in this thing of ours, and I'll be forever grateful for it. Father_OMalley has just kind of been there in the background, but I thank him for it all the same.

Without further adieu, I'd like to introduce you the newest crime organization in The Loop, Chicago. For those of you that know my bloodline, this will come as no surprise. Allow me to unveil the new headquarters for the Secret Society of Super Villains.

Hush looks around, finding that his announcement has garnered the attention of thousands, maybe even hundreds of passersby. He basks in the glory of their applause and cheers. Taupe being the loudest of them all. He gave them a slight bow, before turning to re-enter the HQ from whence he came.
