RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Writer's Block JLR: The Convention Adventure

The following morning, the bleary-eyed JLR are in the conference/meeting room. The wall-paper is an old faded 1970's floral pattern and falling off the walls. There is something green (and glowing) in one of the corners, which our heroes have wisely decided to leave well alone. OK, La Machine needed to be told a few time not to poke it with a stick. . .

The Team are discussing tactics for the upcoming tournament. Ace is standing in front of a whiteboard, lists, diagrams and arrows all over the place. . .

Ace: Right! Lets move onto the X-Men. What are our match-ups going to be? I'll take on Rogue.

LM: I want Dazzler. [Everyone looks at La Machine. La Machine looks at everyone] What? I've got all her records.

(y)NW: Storm

AGW: Damn Hang on! I'll have a go at Stacey X

RM552: White Queen.

Ace: Are you sure? She seems pretty mean. . .

RM552: Who better to take on a Queen, than a King?

Ace [turns to write on the board, and speaks under his breath]: Well, she's not really a Queen, but then I guess you're not really a King. . .

RM552: Hey I've got enhanced hearing remember!

Brit: Phoenix, please.

DLD: umm. . . Shadowcat, thank you.

Ace: Right, that leaves Cyclops, Iceman, Archangel, Beast, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Chamber, Xorn, Thunderbird, Bishop & Cable for Jackie.

CJ: Guys!

Ace: Not now, Jackie. We're discussing tactics!

JLR [lots of]: shhhh's. . . Jackiiieeee's. . . come on this is important's. . . etc.

Ace: OK, next is the Avengers. . .

LM [sticks up hand very quickly]: She-Hulk! She-Hulk!!

Ace: OK, OK

AGW: Photon, the hero formally known as Captain Marvel.

LM: What, the Marvel Kree alien one or the DC Shazam, one?

AGW: No fool! [whacks LM over the back of the head] The black-chick who transforms into energy and who can do stuff at the speed of light.

LM: Finally found someone who can to operate at your speed, huh?

AGW: Damn riiiii. . . Hey!

JLR: Tee Hee's. . . Ha Ha's. . . chortle's. . . etc.

Ace: OK AGW goes for Photon, done.

DLD: Sorry, I'm still thinking.

Ace: Sorry? Nevermind. Who's next?

Brit: Scarlet Witch, if you don't mind?

(y)NW: Warbird.

RM552: Black Widow.

DLD: I've got it. Wasp, please.

Ace: Let's see, I'll go Tigra. So that leaves Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Yellow Jacket, Falcon, Ant Man, Jack-of-Hearts, Quicksilver, Hercules, Black Panther, Vision and Black Knight for Cowgirl Jack.

CW: How many time's do I have to say it. This is stupid!

Ace: Jackie, I'm not going to tell you again! We're nearly finished.

CJ: Your funeral, pal!

Ace: Right, last but not least, the JLA. Who wants to take on. . .

LM, AGW & RM552 [hands shoot up!!!]: WONDER WOMAN!!!!!

Ace: OK, RM552 gets Wonder Woman.

RM552: YES!

LM & AGW: Hey! No fair!. . . Why should he. . . etc.

Ace: Look, La Machine, you've got She-Hulk with the Avengers. AGW, it's just not going to happen. She would whip your ass.

LM: OK, Big Barda.

AGW: nothing wrong with being whiped by Wonder Woman. . .

(y)NW: Huntress would be an interesting match-up.

Brit: Oracle, deffinately Oracle.

DLD: Faith, please.

Ace: Zatanna for me. OK AGW?

AGW: hmmmm. . . I've got it! Fire and Ice Maiden!

JLR:

AGW: What? You can't break up a great pair like that.

Ace: Okaaaay, so that leaves Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern (Kyle, John Stewart and G'nort), Aquaman, Plastic Man, Steel, Atom, Firestorm, Green Arrow, Major Disaster and Martian Manhunter for Jackie.

[Ace finishes writing up the list.]

Ace: So now that we have sorted out the Saturday night tournament dinner party, lets start thinking about the battles!

CJ: Finally!!

Britannica [turns to DLD]: So why did you insist on the Invisible Woman?

DLD: Are you kidding? Superhero Mom and housewife. We could trade cleaning tips all night.
