While the news that just crossed the ears of Shane Matzner isn't the worst news that a guy his age could hear, it made his top 1000 list easily. He quickly needed to get out of there.
"Whereya goin, Shane-O?," his friend Dave asked.
"Um, I'm gonna play some WWF Gladiolus."
"Whoa. Need a second player?"
"Um, I only have one controller. I'll catch you later."
"S'cool."
He quickly made his way through the rush of Legionnaires, carryers-on, and tour guides to get to his disused room. He tried to watch some TV to get his mind off this news.
"Our top story tonight on ABCBS news: trillionaire industrialist heir Tim Wayne..."

"Welcome to UPNBC Nightly News. Tonight's top story, famed Legionnaire Jocelyn Kent..."

"WELCOME TO THE DAILY SHOW! Tonight's top story, Legion of Super-Heroes deputy leader Boombastic, that is SHANE MATZNER, folks, that is spelled S-h-a-n-e-space-M-a-t-z-n-e-r, is dropped by his..."
*click off*
"This is why I hate fame...", he thought. He proceeded to lay back and cry himself to sleep.
However, around 11 that night...
"We here at TabloidNet TV have insider info about famed Legionnaire Shane Matzner crying like a little bitch with a skinned knee..."
Back with the crowd, Jocelyn Kent wasn't taking it too well either. The girl had always expected that this day would come after having heard her parents talk about it so often when she was a kid. She knew Tim from virtually the day she was born. It was due to this that she knew for a fact that he was a pompous, spoiled, idiotic, belligerent, skanky, top-floor trailer trash asshole. From the day that he pushed her off of the top of his house and their parents allegedly claimed it was because he "liked her", to the time that they started fourth grade and he introduced her as "my number one ho", to the time in seventh grade when he forced her to give him oral sex under the threat of opening a lead box filled with Kryptonite, she just knew she couldn't be with him.
This feeling led her to believe that her lineage didn't allow her to have true love. She knew she was destined for one guy, but she couldn't be with him. She had absolutely no idea of where she could find her own happiness. Eventually, this led her away from home and over to a try-out for the Super World Officers, where she quickly jumped up their ranks. This rise was so meteoric that within one month of her joining, she was given the opportunity to try out for the Legion of Substitute Heroes. There, she met up with their (then-new) leader Shane Matzner, a person who she had found out the day before her try-out that she had replaced on their ranks.
Within a couple of weeks, it seemed that Shane had taken her under his wing, showing her everything that he could possibly do, always watching her back in the big fights, just basically acting like a real guy. It didn't take too long before she had begun to develop feelings for him. At first, she just thought that she was reflecting the same thoughts of respect that he had shown to her. However, within weeks, it was becoming more and more apparent that she truly loved him. Eventually, it became almost solidified when a crazed former Sub shot her and Shane revealed that he had loved her for just as long as she had. Within weeks, she was beginning to be happy again. And now her parents were thrusting him away from the only man she'd ever loved for the only man she'd ever truly hated?
"That boy had Better have one hell of a plan to get out of this...", she thought.
"So, dudes, how am I supposed to do this?" Boombastic asked.
"You just take your piece, inhale, and just go to town, man! Just like all of the other times!" his old friend Stefan James replied. Stefan, as we have established, was just a typical buddy of his who just happened to be able to transport people through time at will.
"Sorry, but I'm too depressed to get stoned, man. I mean, how would you feel if the first person that you loved was going toward another?"
"Dude, I've known that feeling since the day you met that chick."
"Well, yeah, but this is entirely different! You never stood a chance with me! I actually was with her, man!"
"Okay. Well, what are you going to do? You have to fight and beat both Superman and Batman to negate the arrangement."
"Then, my brother, that is what I am going to do!"
"Suicidal much?"
"Don't worry. Just get our COVERT STRIKE FORCE."
"You mean Dave and Steve?"
"EXACTLY."
Steve and Dave went into Shane's room. As we've established before, Steve Williamson is one of his old cronies who just happens to also be Bender, a guy who could alter reality to fit his every whim. Dave was David Goldberg, a guy who happened to be Momentum, a man able to defeat any one opponent and get away from any number of opponents.
"What did you call us here for?"
"Gentlemen, we have a mission that we need to use all of our skills for." Shane took a projector out and pointed it to some white paper.
He took a slide and showed himself. "This, as you all know, is me: the happy-go-lucky dude who you are honored to hang out with."
He then showed a slide of Cornell. "As you might have noticed, she plays an important part of this piece.Unfortunately, some idiotic move by parents a long way back is thrusting her into the arms of a total dick."
He then showed some poorly drawn piece of a stick figure in a trenchcoat with a huge gun picking off people. "Now, I'm not a betting man, but this looks like the most likely way that I would be if we are unsuccessful."
Shane turned off the projector and hit the lights.
"Your mission, if you choose to accept it: MAKE ME SUCCESSFUL AT THIS MISSION. I picked you because you're three of my closest friends, you've watched my back for all this time, NOT LITERALLY, STEFAN!, and most importantly, you are willing to do it for only 20 creds each."
"But how do we do this?" Dave asked.
"It is the duty of the team's leader to know the score. During Operation: Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow?, our friend 'Arthur' here hit it off with Clark Kent, who agreed to put a word in for him at the Daily Planet. Meanwhile, it is our knowledge of the past that stuff that SPEDS do for elementary school science fair projects is top-level science in that time. Therefore, we send 'Lawrence' and his great skill in that area down there and go to town."
"But how do we get ourselves known to fight them?"
Suddenly , the TV came on.
"WELCOME TO WWF GLADIOLUS! FEATURING IN OUR MAIN EVENT, THE HEADS OF THE ROCK AND STEVE AUSTIN IN AN 'EAT ALL THE FISH FOOD' MATCH!"
Shane smiled devilishly.
"I think we know how we're going to bait them."
