B: Batman/Bruce Wayne R: Robin/Tim Drake K: Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler

T: Tony Stark/Ironman C: Clark Kent (S: Superman) L: Logan/Wolverine

A: Alfred Pennyworth Loi: Lois Lane Sc: Scott Summers (Cyclops) J: Jean Grey Pep: Pepper Potts (Iron Man's assistant)

Team: Tony and Clark Location: Upstairs in the mansion (no one is around so Clark is in Superman mode)

(Tony walks along the hallway examining the list as Superman bounds ahead opening every door he comes to and leaping in only to emerge moments later to bound to the next door)

T: Clark, do you even know what we're looking for?

S: What's that, Friend? (poking his head out from a doorway)

T: (skeptical look) You have no idea what we're doing here, do you?

S: (leans in as if sharing a secret) Searching for clues.

T: Searching for clues, huh? Clues to what, may I ask?

S: (bounding to the next door) That is as of yet unknown! But soon, very soon, we shall stumble upon the answer!

(Superman opens the door and, with a heroic grin and a strange breeze blowing his cape, he leaps through... or down as the case may be...)

T: (hurries to the door) Clark! Clark, are you alright?

S: (Hovers back up) That was a fascinating discovery! Did we learn anything?

T: Apart from the fact that Bruce has an elevator disguised as a regular room, no.

(They hear someone coming, Tony turns to see Lois and Jean walking down the

hallway towards them. Superman shoves the door shut. Tony winces and waits

for the inevitable. Sure enough, there is a frantic rattling of the door handle

then an echoing yell followed closely by a thud as Clark turns back into… Clark...

thankfully the ladies weren't close enough to hear this. Tony puts on his best

"everything's fine" grin and leans against the door casually)

J: Oh, hello Mr. Stark.

Loi: Where's Clark?

T: (jabs a thumb at the closed door) I'm afraid I've lost him.

Loi: (glares disapprovingly at Tony thinking he's locked poor clueless Clark into an empty room or something) Now, Mr. Stark! I thought you of all people would be able to keep your manners even when you're alone! (she marches forward and grabs the door handle. Tony's eyes widen as he sees what she plans to do, but before he can say or do anything, she pushes the door open. With a yelp, Tony disappears.)

J: (who had walked further ahead calls) Lois! Come look, I think this is what he means by a fuzzy portrait!

Loi: (her head turns just as Tony falls in. Not seeing the pit in front of her, she closes the door and hurries to catch up to Jean...)

Team: Robin and Kurt Location: Garage

R: Oh, wow!

K: Vhat? Did you find something?

R: No, no! Not that silly list! This bike! It's gorgeous!

(Robin strokes Logan/Scott's bike as Kurt watches looking somewhat disgusted)

K: You don't really care that ve're going to lose, do you?

R: (in a dreamy voice) Lose what?

K: Come on. (drags Robin off the bike ignoring his protests) Ve're going to find this bumper sticker if ve have to search every car in this garage!

R: Hey! (being dragged by the back of his shirt) Don't I have a say in this?

K: No.

R: Fine then. (struggling free) You take that side and I'll take this side.

K: Alright, but no more distractions!

R: Right.

(they march off in different directions each searching the many cars for one single bumper sticker. A little while later, Kurt hears music playing. With a sigh, he follows it to a sleek red car. Robin is sitting inside messing with the radio.)

R: Hop in, Kurt!

K: Robin, I thought ve said no more distractions.

R: This isn't a distraction! I'm gonna make us win! We'll just go but the stuff we need!

K: Isn't that cheating?

R: No, in a scavenger hunt all you have to do is find the stuff. For example, I know a guy who has some mint flavored toothpicks! We can just go ask him for one!

K: Disregarding the fact that he uses mint flavored toothpicks, do you really think he'll let us have one?

R: Sure! Hop in!

K: Okay, but I'm driving.

R: What? Why?

K: Because, I've got a license. (waves it in front of Robin's face with his tail)

So move over.

R: Fine, fine.

(they drive off in search of mint flavored toothpicks and listening to music on the $1000 radio...)

Author: Okay… one or two pairs per chapter… they're shorter than I thought.
