Just then, an official-looking official walks up to the JLR.
OLO: Hello. You must be the JLR!
Ace: Yes we are. And you would be?

![[eh... i dunno... ]](graemlins/ehidunno.gif)
Well as long as they won't be too long. There is a press conference and photo opportunity in less than an hour. It is expected that all of your team will be present.
Ace: Ah yes. . . I'm sure they will be here by then. . . *I hope*
Reggie: Well I hope so. If they are not, your Team maybe disqualified from the competition.
JLR:
Ace: [looks at the other members and mouths "what the heck do we do NOW!?!?!"]
Reggie: [not noticing the JLR's reaction, as he was putting his glasses away] But, I'm sure there is nothing to worry about. Let's discuss which teams you will be battling with.
Ace: Sounds good. Who are we battling first?
Reggie: Well the competition structure, was chosen completely randomly of course.
Brit: Of course.
Reggie: The JLR, is in Group D, along with the Defenders and Young Justice.
LM: Young Justice! We're expected to fight a bunch of kids!
DLD: Well they are quite tough.
Ace: And it is for charity, remember.
LM: We're the JLR, dammit not a bunch of baby-sitters
Reggie: There will be three battles. Each Team, battles the other two teams, once. The two Teams, with the most victories progress to the next round.
(y)NW: What if each Team wins a battle?
Reggie: If two or more Teams win the same amount of battles, the judges will review each battle and allocate scores for certain aspects, such as opposition knock-outs, Team-work, battle tactics, etc.
(y)NW: I see.
Brit: So who are in the other Groups?
Reggie: Well:
Group A: Avengers, The Authority and Fantastic Four.
Group B: JLA, Outsiders and the Suicide Squad.
Group C: Legion of Superheroes, X-Men and Teen Titans.
But let's hurry, the press conferernce is taking place on the other side of the hotel. We had better go.
LM: [whispering to the other members] So what are we going to do about Harpy and RM552?
Ace: I don't know? We're going to get thrown out of this competition for sure!
Brit: I'm sure I can come up with some plan. . . I just need a bit of time to think of it.
AGW: We're screwed.
Harpy: Can Harpy eat Reginald?
JLR: No!
RM552: elp me!
DLD: Did you guys here something?
Harpy: Harpy sorry. Integestion *Buuuuurp*
Reggie: Charming. . .
