RM 552- NO! I cant take any more of these! I need a break.

(young)- I agree I think a short recess would be best.

Ace-Yeah, okay, we'll take a 10-minute break.

The team gets up and gathers around a water cooler in the office.

Wednesday- Man that was cruel and unusual.

CJ- You're telling me, besides that OP guy, who, thanks to him, we're now in debt for this mission, there wasn't one decent hero among them.

RM 552- Maybe we'll have more luck with the rest.

CJ- So how many more of those interviews are we going to have to go through?

(young) looks out the window and sees the line of heroes going down the sidewalk and rounding the corner.

(young)- Man looks like there was a big turnout. So why couldn't any of these heroes handle the CSF and La Machine.

Wednesday- Apparently they all went on strike. They wanted better benefits and pay.

Ace- HA! Well they won't be getting that here!

RM 552- Alright guys, we'd better get back to work. It looks like this could take a while.

Ace- Okay

Ace presses a button to a speaker outside. Hero 23, We're ready for you to come in and interview now.

HERO 23

Wednesday- Hi. Lets see, your name is...

Hero 23- My name is Di Mid-La Cowace Wedtanica 552

JLR- Ummmm...

552- Thats a uh... a bit of a mouthful. Maybe you should just give us a bit of a rundown of your powers.

Di Mid-La blah blah blah- Ah of course. Well, I have some psychic abilities, super strength, a super flicking ability, these spiked boots that I wear; which ,I know technically don't count as a super power, but they look great on me, don't they; independent third toe movement, information overload, and all of these powers are augmented depending upon how a sports team is doing, with the random sports team changing every 7 days.

The JLR is left speechless and wide-eyed. Wednesday is the first to speak

Wednesday- Umm, group huddle guys!

RM- God, Did you hear all of those powers he had? What should we do?

Ace- Well we cant let him on the team. He'll make us all look bad in comparison. He's like all of us rolled into one.

Wednesday- Relax guys, I'll handle it.

He turns from his teammates and back to the hero flashing a smile.

Wednesday- Thank you, that'll be all.

Hero- What?!?

Wednesday- We'll let you know.

Hero- But I'm the best quail-

Wednesday- Sir, if you do not calm down I'm going to have to call security.

Hero- But-

Wednesday pushes the speaker button and speaks into the speaker.

Wednesday- Security, we've got a problem.

Security comes in and starts dragging him out of the room.

Hero- This.. this is crazy! No, no wait! I also make a delicious apple crisp... and.... and I'll clean up after all the rest of the team! I swear! I used to be a janito-

SLAM

Wednesday- Whew! What a nut, huh?

Hero 35

(young)- Whos next?

Ace- Hero 35 is.

CJ-Aright Hero 35 you can come in now.

In walks an ordinary man in a business suit.

CJ- Uh, it says here that your name is Super Steve.

Super Steve- Yes thats right.

CJ- Okay and what superpowers do you have, Super Steve?

Super Steve- Uh none, actually

CJ- Oh. Well thats uh thats okay. So then why do you want to join the JLR?

Super Steve- Well I'm glad you mentioned that. You all look like smart young ladies and gentlemen-

-but I'll bet you all get into many a tumble, am I right?

RM 552- Well, yeah but we're super heroes...

Super Steve- ...And I'll bet most insurance companies turn you down due to the high risk factors don't th-

RM 552- I'm sorry, actually we learned our lesson about insurance a couple of adventures ago so we're pretty much set.

Super Steve- Oh, well lucky for you I also sell timeshares in my spare time. Think about it. You could use a place to go to and relax after those long grueling battles, huh?

Ace- (sigh)

Next!

Alright the next hero is... Oh you've got to be kidding me. Pirate Pete?!?

Pirate Pete- Right here matey!

CJ- Oh God... Alright Pete, why do you want to join the team?

Argh! Me corporation asked me to join ye landlubbers team for some free publicity. We can work it all out. We'll have a whole line of JL-Argh! Action figures in our treasure chest meals! Plus all team-mateys get 20 percent discounts on all meals!
