"Stacey Starkweather here at the Hall of Justice where I'll be getting exclusives with the young heroes who have been officially recognized by the Justice League of America. Follow us over the next few days as we enter a world of heroic adventures and get insider information about the workings of the Justice League!" Stacey cocked her head once to allow her shining black hair to catch on to the wind breezing by and flashed a Crest white smile.
"…And we're good." Stan twisted his baseball cap back around so it sat front and center on his gingery hair and peeked out from behind the camera.
"That sounded like a bad tabloid," Stacey cringed.
Stan shook his head, small blue eyes locked on the Hall of Justice entrance behind Stacey. "It was good." He said, "Attention grabbing."
"What?" Stacey whipped out a purple rhinestoned compact and flipped open the small mirror to inspect her face for flaws. "About the kids?" She couldn't find any, but settled on a quick reapplication of lip stick anyway.
The kids were the whole point of all this –this government requested 'investigation' on the young heroes. Just a bunch of little kids being thrown into the big-bad-world of dangerous psychos. The Justice League chose to comply with the government's demand for access.
So here they were. Stacey Starkweather led the uninformative interview for the public eye, and some government type from the department of ChildSomethingOrOther was around for snoopy government files.
Camera time was camera time though.
"Sure." Stan shrugged, "People love them."
She smiled, her perfectly lined lips upturned in a little heart, "Love worrying about them you mean."
"Yeah, a lot of that too."
All righty. So, that was very short, yes? Well, all the other chapters aren't. Consider this the introduction chapter. Everything else will play out in interview forms (mostly) with maybe some side snooping by Stacey. All from her, or her people's, point of view, not the Teams or anyone in the League. Third person, folks.
