Chapter 3

SDN offices are with Dispatchers on computers answering calls, all around Torrance and even other doing own their things like taking breaks, and heroes going for calls being sent to help.

Blonde Blazer is giving YN Robert and Ayane a tour around the building.

Blonde Blazer: We're not the highest profile branch in the network. But we've got what makes the real difference... great people. Some of them aren't even people, and they're still great.

YN: (mumbles) Wonder if there's fiends here.

Blonde Blazer: What?

YN: Nothing.

Blonde Blazer continue the tour.

Blonde Blazer: One of three copiers on this floor. Fax. Scan. Does literally everything. Documentation, one of the three 'D's' at SDN. There tends to be a healthy amount of paperwork. I used to call it triple D's but I was informed that had a different connotation...

Robert: Three Dr's?

Blonde Blazer: Dispatching... Documentation... Diversity is the third. Not in terms of priority of course. Yup we're all about diversity. Lana works in the mailroom,

She pointed to a alien being walking past them.

Blonde Blazer: from a different galaxy altogether.

YN: (minds) What the hell has America turn into.

Blonde Blazer: And then there's Galen...way back there.

She pointed to dispatcher across the room.

Blonde Blazer: Born with super hearing. He's from... I wanna say...

Ayane: India?

Galen: Florida.

Blonde Blazer: Florida. Of course. Florida man over there. (Whisper) Hey, easy on the bath salts.

Galen: That was one guy.

Robert: Hey, speaking of bath, where is the uh...

Blonde Blazer: Oh need a bio break?

Robert: Excuse me?

Blonde Blazer: Restroom. I mean. It's right over there. Sorry. At work I tend to get a little...

YN: Corny?

Blonde Blazer: Corporate. Dick. Meet me in the Records Room when you're done. If you get lost look for the door that says Records Room

Blonde Blazer turn around and leaves.

Ayane: I like her and I also need to use the bathroom.

Some time later. YN is seen leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, waiting for Robert and Ayane to be done using the bathroom. The men's room door opens and Robert comes with a very large man

YN: Hey who's your new friend?

Royd: Wassup bruddah, my auntie name me Roy, but people call me Royd.

YN: I'm YN Hayabusa.

Royd offer a fistbump and so YN gives him a fistbump.

Royd: Aurite. Good to meet you, brah.

YN: Likewise.

Royd: So we got a Hayabusa and Mecha man in the same buildin'.

YN: Wait? He knows your Mecha man Robert.

Robert: Yeah, I guess Blonde Blazer told him and he's gonna be repairing my suit.

YN: Did she told everyone who you are?

Royd: Nah. Bruddah. It's kapu.

YN: Okay.

Ayane comes out the bathroom.

Ayane: Hey guys who this? And why does he look like the guy from Moana? No offense.

Royd: All good Sis. I'm Royd.

Royd offer a fistbump.

Ayane: do you wash your hands because I'm not giving you a fistbump if you didn't wash your hands.

Royd: Nah sis, I neva touch nothin'. Just touch my pants, underwear only. Even fo shake. I just do like dis.

After he shows he means. Ayane was confused.

Ayane: can you do that again because I'm confused.

YN Ayane and Robert leaves the bathroom and they find the Records Room and they then see a very old man.

Very Old Man: Holy shit. Who's this freckle faced fuck? And ninja motherfuckers. How are ya?

Robert: That's an aggres(gets hugged tightly)sive way to great someone--

Very Old Man: Look at this skinny latte prick. You're bones, Kid. You here to whip these assholes into shape or what?

Blonde Blazer appear behind them.

Blonde Blazer: That's the idea.

Robert: Umm I'm sorry, do I know you?

Very Old Man: Why're you all tense? What? It's a hug. Not a handjob. Lighten up

Robert: Be that as it may, I'm still confused...

Very Old Man: Oh. Right. Cause I'm old as shit. How about this.

He does a superhero pose like he's about to run off.

Very Old Man: This jog your memory?

Robert: Track Star? Holy shit!

Robert hug him and Track Star hugs back.

Chase: Yeah, ya fucker. Why're you accepting hugs from old men ya don't know? Oh and hey, they call me Chase around here so keep it... you know.

Robert: Sure, right, yeah, Chase.

Chase: It's been, what? Ten, fifteen years?

YN: Wait you know this old man?

Blonde Blazer: Has it really been that long?

Chase: Yeah, I reached out to this little pissant when his dad passed. Then he got to duckin' me like he owed me money.

Robert: I was in a weird place.

Chase: I understand, kid. It was tough on all of us, so I can't imagine what you went through.

Robert: Yeah. So, what's up? You gonna tell me why you look like black Einstein?

YN chuckles and Ayane smiles then Blonde Blazer laughs.

Blonde Blazer: Sorry. I never noticed.

Chase: Fucker. It's the powers. I could move fifty times faster than the average person. But I didn't realize until it was too late that I was aging fifty times faster when I used my powers. Nowadays I'm movin' slower than frozen piss to keep the ole ticker from poppin' on me.

Robert: I had no idea. I'm so sorry, Chase.

Chase: Hey, if I feel another ounce of pity from you, I will run you over in the parking lot and say it was an accident.

YN and Ayane laughs.

Chase: They'll believe me cause it looks like I'm wearin' diapers.

Robert: So, I guess this means you're the one person I can't complain to about losing my suit.

Chase: You better not. I would resurrect then rekill your fuckin father in front of you if it meant being able to use my powers again.

YN: Damn.

Blonde Blazer: Jesus Chase.

Robert: Wow...

Chase: What? Obviously, I'd let Robert have one last "I love you" before I...before I extinguish the light from this eyes.

They laughs.

YN: Me and father never acted like this.

Blonde Blazer: Was he always like this?

Robert: Yes, actually.

Chase: We joke. We laugh. We suppress our trauma.

Ayane: it was fucked up. But I ain't gonna question it.

Chase; Alright, enough of this feeling shit, let introduce you to your team of losers.

Chase goes to computer turning it on and add a hard drive to it.

Chase: Now, if I'm being honest, I thought, and still think, we shoulda canned these turns months ago.

Blonde Blazer: And you might get your wish, Cause if we don't see improvement soon, the whole program will be scrapped.

Robert: Cool, No pressure.

YN: Let's see who're working with.

Robert click the first file.

Blonde Blazer: Sonar here was a Harvard graduate who--

Chase: Who will not shut the fuck up about being a Harvard graduate, like all Harvard graduates.

Blonde Blazer: Who also orchestrated some of the most effective Silicon Valley investment frauds in US history. Also...

Chase: Also sometimes he transforms into a fuckin' bat monster that would eat you ass-first after he emptied your pension plan.

YN: honestly kinda of seems like a cool guy.

Next

Blonde Blazer: Flambae. He--

Robert: --"controls the fire and the flame and his skin does not burn."

Chase: Right, you've met him. Didn't you have a run in with him years back?

Robert: I did, yeah.

Chase: So, you know he's a certifiable dickhead.

YN: if his skin doesn't burn why are his eyebrows missing?

Robert: oh that's because I threw alcohol at him.

Ayane: So he still can be burn.

Next file.

Blonde Blazer: Invisigal. Who you met. Turned herself in a few months ago and entered the program on the condition we didn't ask questions.

YN: doesn't that seem suspicious?

Chase: Suspicious? Really? Of a criminal that turns invisible and doesn't like to answer questions? What tipped you off, Sherlock?

Robert press the next file.

Blonde Blazer: Here we have Coupè, which I recently learned is a French ballet term that means, to cut. Hence the knives.

Robert: That's very clever.

Chase: Yeah, but it sounds dumb to say so everybody calls her Coop. She was an assassin for the mob then went independent.

YN: hopefully she'll cool.

Next.

Chase: Punch Up.

Blonde Blazer: Carnival strong man who made a deal with a sorcereress. She gave him the strength of ten men. His muscles grew--but his body shrunk.

Chase: He's got the all the charm and brains of a greasy bowling ball.

YN: This is why you should never trust sorcerer.

Ayane: Funny if he ask for speed, I bet he would be yelling Speed is Key.

Next

Blonde Blazer: Malevola, terrifying. She's got a magic sword and she creates portals that allow her to teleport.

Chase: And somehow she's still late for every fucking meeting.

Blonde Blazer: Yeah, I'm pretty sure she does that on purpose.

YN: you really have a demon here.

Ayane; didn't know demons can be arrested.

Next

Blonde Blazer: That's Golem. He's is a construct.

Robert: A construct?

Blonde Blazer: Yeah, a bunch of dirt and mud made sentient with magic. I think he's lonely.

YN: Probably needs a friend.

Ayane: I think we'll get along.

Next

Chase: Prism. Michigan born and raised. Her power is weird. She weaponizes light rays or some shit. A lot of this stuff is a guess

Robert: Why does she dress like a pop star?

Blonde Blazer: She's actually super talented.

YN: she could of have had a music career if she didn't turn to life of crime.

Robert click the final file

Blonde Blazer: Yaiba Kamikaze, a ninja from the Kamikaze clan.

Chase: Who's a drunk selfish cyborg ninja asshole, doesn't really care about anyone but himself don't know why he's even in this program he's not even trying.

Blonde Blazer: but I do believe there is some good in him.

YN: wait a minute I know this guy my dad encounter him years ago he's still alive.

Robert: your dad encounter him?

YN: yeah and he's the reason why he has a cyborg arm.

Blonde Blazer: how did it happen.

YN: ......Well.....

YN: and that's how it happen.

Chase: Holy shit your dad a badass motherfucker.

YN: Yup

Robert: Wait, so uh the Z-team, my team they're Phoenix Program?

Blonde Blazer: That is correct.

Chase: Your own motley crew of dangerous fuck ups.

Blonde Blazer: We're not looking for miracles...but we'd love one if we can get it. Can you show him his desk.

Chase: Sure.

Blonde Blazer: YN, Ayane be ready for your first shift.

YN: No problem.

Blonde Blazer smiled and squeeze his arm and leaves the Records Room room.

Chase: What's that arm squeeze about kid?

YN: you want one too old man.

Chase: Fuck off!

Chase and Robert leaves the Records Room.

Ayane: YN I think you like Blonde Blazer.

YN: Ayane that kiss was nothing. It was just stupid and dumb I was caught in a moment and I blame myself for that I got nothing with her.

Ayane: Rightttttt. Well better get ready for our first shift hopefully it's worth it here.

Ayane leaves the Records Room.

YN: mother would go crazy if she finds out about me dating someone.
