Dear Miss Francis,

As I'm sure you are well aware, there are certain social obligations that come with leading an organization such as ours, obligations, alas, from which I am not exempt. Thus, as much as I would prefer to spend my evening reviewing our research or otherwise tending to the myriad administrative needs of our organization, my presence will soon be required at a social function hosted by Oscorp.

Doubtless you are wondering what relevance the travails of a long-suffering executive have to you, and well, I myself find the situation perplexing. For you see, Oscorp is unveiling an exciting new project, to design and supply the leaders of our fine nation with the tools they need to come to grips with the increasing prevalence of powerful mutants at the forefront of global conflict, with weapons to combat super-powered enemies of freedom abroad and, regrettably, at home.

And to show that those at Oscorp are dedicated to working in concert with the genetically endowed to protect our country, the organizers wish to have visible mutants in attendance at this function. In a show of progressiveness and tolerance, the other eminent attendees will doubtless be bringing those mutants to be found among their own acquaintances and staff, and given that we at Daedalus can think of no better representative of our organization than yourself and your sister, we humbly request your presence.

(Do not worry, you will not be called upon to offer a testimonial as to the effectiveness of Oscorp's wares, haha! Though I would personally be quite interested in hearing your thoughts, should you have encountered their products during your, shall we say, extracurricular expeditions.)


If you do wish to grace us with your presence, we will supply further details of the event, and will send a vehicle to collect you at a location of your choosing. Furthermore, the Group would be more than willing to furnish you with suitable accouterments should your current means be insufficient to outfit you for a function of this caliber.

With regards,
CCCw

P.S. My chief of security has informed me that you may find our motives for inviting you to this function suspect. I wish to offer my most emphatic assurances that this is not a ploy to detain you and your elusive sibling. I send this invitation in only the most earnest of good faith.

No fucking way.
