It's 8pm. Luke walks into what seems to be nothing more than a dark broom closet with a fresh "Trejectory" from the Jitters Cafe located in the main lobby of Foxteca and says "Alright dad, time to get to work."
Suddenly, a voice booms in a tenor all too familiar to Luke. "Voice recognition complete. Welcome son, to the Fox Den". Immediately, the room comes alive, revealing the secret headquarters of New Bludhaven's greatest protectors - The Fox Five.
"Hi, Dad. Any updates?" Luke casually asks as he trots down the steps towards his giant supercomputer powered by Foxteca's latest tech.
"You have a call waiting. Mr. Curtis Holt of The Holt Group in Star City. Should I patch him through?"
"Yes, please" Luke responds as Curtis appears on the screen. Exasperated, Luke says, "Yes, Curtis, what can I do for you?".
Curtis' brow furrows and eyes squint, "Somebody woke up on the wrong side of whatever you foxes sleep in".
"Beds? Their called beds, Curtis. Look, it's been a long day, what's up?" Luke responds as Jace and Sophie enter the den.
Curtis notices and comments "Holy, Bat-Couple goals!"
They both stop in their tracks and Sophie excitedly responds "Mr. Terrific!, how's life in Star City?"
"Life's great! Paula's gonna pop soon. We've decided on "Michael" for a name for the new addition. We're on our way to great things. In the meantime, James flew in from DC to help me on patrols while she's temporarily out of commission. Star city could use an extra guardian at this particular point in time." Curtis quips, "By the way, you and Jace are Bat-Tastic but, isn't it time to change up a little? You know like 'Foxman' and 'Fox Woman'?"
"A little on the nose, don't you think?" Jace snorts
"I mean, you're not wrong" Curtis responds
"How about this, you name the heroes in Star City and let us worry about New Bludhaven" Sophie advises
"That's fair" Curtis concedes
"What's that?" Luke asks as he points to the screen
"Oh THAT, well...that's a secret" Curtis rebutes
"That looks like Sara Lance's Legend's uniform" Luke prys
"Ooo, with accessories" Sophie says as she leans closer to the screen "Knowing you, it's also functional. What's it do?"
"Ah, ah, ah. I can't tell you but, hopefully it'll help someone do some good. Speaking of, I have a meeting I have to prepare for" Curtis deflects.
"WAIT!" Luke interjects, "You called me. Anything to share?"
"Oh yeah! I may have a hit on the woman you've been searching for. I'll send the report right over. I have to go, pregnant wife and all" Curtis hangs up leaving Luke with a confused look; staring at the Foxteca logo emblazoned on his screen.
Before Luke can finish processing what has just transpired, Tiffany jumps on his lap "Hey big bro! How's it hanging?"
Luke sighs and stands up, dumping her on the floor. He walks past Duke and patting him on the shoulder he admits with a chuckle "I don't know how you do it."
"Hey! Rude much?!?!?!?" Tiffany shrieks
"SUIT UP! Time to patrol" Jace alerts prompting the Fox family to assemble at the armory, suit up and head out to their individual patrol sectors of the city
