Prologue
Standing in the foyer of the Hall of Justice a field trip from the Metropolis School for Student Excellence is gathered. The teacher Ms. Reynolds, is about to give an opening speech. The colorful group of students before her are all anxiously waiting for the tour to start, but it is not excitement they are feeling. Its tension. You see these are no ordinary students and the causes of their tension are nothing short of complex.
"The Hall of Justice. Home to many of the relics and artifacts from our world's greatest heroes. Their battles, escapades, victories and failures. All these are wonderfully documented and preserved for the public's delight. You kids, excuse me, young people, are privileged to have this opportunity. Not many your age are able to enjoy this."
"Your parents or in some cases the state have invested much to give you the best education possible. The reason for this field trip is not only to teach you but also to provide you with role models. Real people who you all can look up to and strive to be like."
"So lets get going, due to the size and diversity of our group the outreach program kids will stay within their own groups along the side of the rest of the class. Ah, here is our tour guide now. Class let me introduce Red Tornado."
"It is a pleasure to meet you all, shall we get started?"
