Connor walked down to his house feeling depressed that he's fired, and can't get money to provide for his family. Then he feels like somebody's watching him, he turned and saw the kid on a tricycle from yesterday.
"And what are you, waiting for?" Connor questioned.
"I don't know, something amazing I guess." he answered, and Connor just sighed.
"Me too, kid." Connor sighed, and he went to the house.
Later, Connor went to his room and sat down. He opened his briefcase and looked at his old Protector Care handbook.
But due to losing his job, he threw it away. He then began throwing everything away, and poured everything out of his briefcase into his waste bucket. But, he heard a hard object.
Connor looked at an envelope, and took it out of the wast bucket, and opened it, revealing it to be a tablet. He wondered as the device continued to light up.
And there the screen then showed the words hold still.
"Hold still...?" Connor squinted his eyes.
Suddenly, the device seemed to scan Connor.
Match. New hero.
Connor flinched in surprise. He then dropped the device as it then started to scan the room to see if he was alone.
Room is secure. Commence message.
Soon the woman from Protector Care appeared on screen.
"Hello, hero." the woman greeted. "Yes, we know, who you are. Rest assured, your secret is safe with us. My name is Malinda, we have something in common, according to the government, neither of us exist. Please pay attention as this message is classified and will not be repeated."
Connor quickly struggled to get his tablet, and began recording it.
"I represent a top-secret division of the government." Malinda continued. "Designing and testing experimental technology, and we are in need of your unique abilities."
"Something has happened at our remote testing facility-"
"Connor." Faith called.
"Huh, w-what?" asked Connor.
"Dinners ready." she informed.
"Okay, okay." he said as Malinda continues.
"It is contained, within an isolated area." Malinda said. "It threatens to cause incalculable damage to itself, and our facility. Jeopardizing hundreds of millions of dollars, worth equipment-"
"Is someone in there?" Faith questioned. Then Connor is starting to get frustrated.
"It's t.v. trying to watch." he lied.
"Because of it's, highly insensitive nature-"
"Well, not crying, it's time for dinner!' Faith called out to Connor.
"One, minute!" Connor hollered, and kept recording everything.
"If you have served, you're payment will be triple, your current annual salary." Malinda continued. "Call the number on the card, you'll follow orders to the team leader, voice matching will be used to ensure security."
"The Quirkers aren't gone hero, you're still here. You can still do great things, or, you can listen to police scanners you're choice." Malinda informed. "You have 24 hours to respond, think about it." Malinda said before the screen turned off.
Connor stopped recording, and get back down. An offer given to him. He looked at his room with a hopeful smile, his room filled with posters, pictures, action figures of heroes. All his life he could be one, now he has a chance to be, a hero as he looked at his jacket.
Then a card came out of the device, and Connor looked at it revealing to be Malinda's phone number, and somehow the device started to beep.
This message will self-destruct.
"Oh boy." Connor said in shock.
Then the explosion was heard. Connor came out of his room, coughing then the fire alarm was turned on, and it activated the sprinklers. Then Connor's friend and siblings can be heard being drenched.
"CONNOR!" yelled Faith.
Meanwhile, late at night, the two college students are just drying up the house, that Connor caused. Faith walked towards him, glanced at him.
"You, are one distracted guy." said Faith,.
"Huh, am I?" Connor questioned. "I don't mean to be."
"I know you missed those heroes, and, and your job is frustrating. And, I-I just wanted you to know how much it means to me, so just stay out of it anyway." Faith said.
"Faith." Connor called. "About the job." Connor is trying to tell the truth to Faith, but he doesn't want her to get upset.
"What?" she asked.
"Something's happened."
"What?"
"The-the, uh..."
"What?!"
"The company is sending me to a, conference." Connor exclaimed.
"A conference?" Faith questioned.
"Uh, out of town. And I'm just gonna be gone, for a few days." he replied.
"They never send you, to a conference before." she questioned. Connor thought he was done for. "This is good, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"See. You're finally recognizing your talents." Faith said. "You're moving, up."
"Yes."
"Oh, Connor. This is wonderful."
"Yes it is." Connor agreed.
Later, Connor is waiting for Malinda to pick up.
"Hello?" Malinda called.
"This is Energyman. I'm in." said Connor as he looked at his jacket.
And now, all he has to do, is meet his team."
