Loche and Key

"Loche & Key" is the name of a special multidimensional law firm that specializes in defending the rights and dignities of heroes.

All heroes, everywhere.

Loche & Key defend heroes when their secret identities are threatened, when personal information is about to be leaked through some malicious blogger, when some overzealous prosecutor threatens to arrest them, when some shyster lawyer threatens to drive them into bankruptcy.

They don't advertise their services. You won't find them in phone books. There are no "sales" people promoting the firm. They somehow know.

Firm Partners

The firm has two partners. George Loche and William Key were the original founding partners. These were seasoned attorneys with plenty of experience handling tough cases. But then George died, and his only daughter, Abbey Loche, soon took over.

Abbey Loche

Anna-Belle "Abbey" Loche is a young woman almost fresh out of law school. She inherited her partnership when her father died. Most people make the mistake of thinking she is a novice attorney, but she actually has numerous legal victories under her young tech-belt. They also don't know that she is a mutant with powers over time manipulation. That gave her the edge she needed to achieve so much in so little time.

Abbey drinks tea. She is into the "new-age" stuff. She loves computers and the Internet and the latest-greatest devices.

Everyone calls her Abbey except for the "old man", who still calls her Anna-Belle.

William Key

William "Bill" Key is the "old man" of the firm. As the surviving founding partner, he has the knowledge and experience that made the firm the hidden success story that it has been.

Bill is very old school. He carries old service revolvers. His office is a throwback to the 1950's in terms of cathode-ray television sets and mountains of books and papers and files. He sends packets of paperwork through couriers. His only "modern" device is a cellphone, and he uses that with plenty of protest.
