"Like if she didn't know the tattoo removal person the same information would've just let her blackmail you."
"I don't think that would work on me but she definitely has blackmailed people before."

Grue - Darkness generation, a steady reasonable guy who is a bit intimidating.
Bitch - Also called Hellhound. Has giant mutant dogs. Difficult for some people but fiercely loyal and Lucien thinks he might grow to like her once he stops wanting to run away whenever she looks at him.
Imp - Lucien can't remember much about her - has a Stranger power of some kind.
Regent - Can cause people to twitch, and also control them completely in the right situations. Would be scary if he didn't just want to play video games and order pizza.
There are also various associated capes who are less part of the group if May is interested.
"His dad is an extremely terrible supervillain who Regent needs protection from."
Parian - Can control cloth. Manages a territory but doesn't work very closely with the Undersiders on a day to day basis.
The Travelers - A whole team of capes allied with the Undersiders. Makes a mini sun, teleportation, shoots objects real fast, controls a morphable minion, and another guy Lucien hasn't figured out. They are sometimes out of town on jobs of their own, but will show up to help the Undersiders sometimes.
An unnamed very powerful precog who works for money but is also friendly with some of the Undersiders.
"I can probably manage - I managed to read. Speaking of which I should figure out how to get more books here."
"Is there any chance Lorica's dad would deliver things to the outside of the boat from my parent's place?"
"...yeah he'd probably do that but he'd make such a face. I guess you don't have to look at his face."
