Chapter Three: " Re-Immersion."
"BUT YOU CAN'T QUIT! Do you really think that a guy who needs to drink tea just so he can speak Interlac, a dude who can travel through time, and a dude in a bad suit of armor can strike fear into the hearts of the bad guys?" Boombastic asked.
"Well, no, but you have to understand. You three have a chance of joining the big squad. We have none. Therefore, when the Science Police called for us, we had to accept the charges. Now, just let us go to this. One day you three will get your call of opportunity," Brisk said. Suddenly, the phone rang. "See?"
"Well, our code says that the LEADER answers the phone. How do we do it?" Boombastic asked.
"Well, you're the most serious of us. You've got the Leader job. Make me proud, bro." Brisk handed his Sub belt to Boombastic. Boombastic answered the phone.
"Wassup?"
"Hi, is John there?" the voice on the other line asked.
"He's resigned to go to the Science Police. I'm the leader now."
"This is Invisible Kid, new leader of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Congratulations, who is this?"
"Um, it's Shane."
"Shane, you're the new Deputy Leader of the Legion."
"KICK ASS!" Boombastic turned to Brisk. "They just made the Subs' leader Deputy leader. Just thought you'd be interested."
"Great. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy," Brisk said. "Except me," he thought.
"Okay. I need to talk to the big man." Boombastic picked up the phone. "Yeah, we need some people, though."
"What's this about?"
"Well, I doubt a three man "Legion" can work for a long period of time."
"We've got a person who can't join the Legion due to planetary reasons. We'll send her over. We'll fax you her stats. Hasta." Invisible Kid hung up. Boombastic recieved the fax. He proceeded to read it:
"________________LEGION FILE: NIGHTFALL___________
Birthplace: Kathoon.
Powers: X-Ray Vision, Heat Vision,Electric Vision, Magnetic Vision (alternate randomly each day between day/night and night/day.)
Biography: Jamy Greyzin was roommates at boarding school with current Legionnaire Lydda Jath. Both had some typical teenybopper crush on Legionnaire Rokk Krinn. Theirs was serious enough to merit them both finalist positions on FANatic, but failed to get them a meeting with Krinn. Desperate, they tried to use some experimental power boosts in order to help them. Greyzin ended up with the ability to either have fully working X-ray vision, Electric Vision, Magnetic Vision or Heat Vision (Depending on the randomness of that day and the time of said day), but the strain of these powers on her eyes made her legally blind in the daytime. (END TRANSMISSION.)"
"FINALLY! We get a female on the team!" Boombastic cried out.
"YES! No doubt a hot mama who will enjoy our bul-ges!" Bender replied.
"Do I have to be Den mother for this team?" Time Warp asked.
"Um, no. We'll be good. Or at least pick out a really deserted floor of this place to double up on her." The three went to the bottom floor. Boombastic was left to greet the new member. He waited as various people went upwards for a huge blast. Finally, Nightfall arrived.
"So, is this the Sub Tower?" Nightfall asked.
"Yep." Boombastic replied.
"Finally! It took me a while. So, are you...Rokk?"
"Um, no. I'm Shane. You can call me Boombastic."
"Well, you SURE look like the guy. You are dead sexy."
"Well, thank you. I checked out your file. I think you could make a fine team member."
"Thank you. It is an honor to be on your team, Shane."
"Well, there are a few questions the boys wanted to know about first."
"Shoot."
"Okay, this first one's from Stefan, 'What size do you take?' Valor, that's a bad one."
"Okay. I'll answer the next one no matter what."
"Okay. Second question: 'Do you Spit or Swallow?' WHAT THE FUCK?"
"Well, I said so. Answer is whatever you want me to do at that time."
"WHOA. Question session over. Let's go up to meet the team." The two followed the mess to a room where Time Warp and Bender were teaming up against two unknown people in a nude Greco-Roman wrestling match.
"Will you guys get your pants on! We've got a new member present!" Boombastic shouted. Time Warp and Bender quickly dressed and greeted Nightfall.
"Greetings, madam. I've heard about your skills." Time Warp replied. He kissed her hand.
"Oh. Thank you."
"Would you like to touch my penis?" Bender replied.
"WHAT?" Nightfall asked.
"I am a Sex MACHINE!" Bender shouted.
"Did you forget to give him his tea?" Boombastic asked.
"Actually, he just drank it." Time Warp replied.
"Oh dear. Well, play nicely with the new recruit. I'm going to get us some more people." Boombastic went over to the elevator. He quickly stopped it up. "Sparrow to Nest, come in, Nest."
"Secret World Operations. What's up, Shane?"
"The Sparrow needs some of your most ready birds to come to his cage."
"Excellent. We'll send you over some."
The Fearless Leader had some definite fear from this. In one fell swoop, the Legion had embarrassed one of their finest by utter defeat and then took from them the member who may have been, pound for pound, one of the finest members they had. Now that person was trying to get their quality people? What was his allegiance? "I'll show that upstart. I'll send out a team of our biggest headcases."
"NOTICE TO ALL DRONES: THE LIST OF PEOPLE WHO WE DEEMED WORTHY TO GO OUT FOR MEMBERSHIP INTO THE LEGION OF SUBSTITUTE HEROES IS ON THE WALL. IF YOU ARE ON THE LIST, YOU WILL BE SENT TO SUBSTITUTE HEADQUARTERS. THAT IS ALL."
"WHAT THE FUCK? I AM TEN TIMES BETTER THAN THOSE PEOPLE!," the girl thought. She had come through a few weeks ago, and had proven her skills through the battles she got a chance inside. When she heard about the Subs taking people, she thought she would finally get some major props. The second she saw her own snub, all the previous snubs in her life had come to the fore. "I am going on this tryout if it kills me."
"GIVE ME ENTRANCE TO TRY OUT FOR MEMBERSHIP," she screamed at the Fearless Leader.
"Scion? What has happened with you? You're usually so...so..."
"So agreeable? So docile? So much of a SHEEP? That was until I realized that I'll never get any play doing it like that. I want what's coming to me."
"I'm sorry, but you're too new. I can't afford losing you just yet."
"Then you're going to lose me right now. I quit." The girl put her ID card on the Fearless Leader's desk and took her S.W.O. armor off. She kept the tools that she felt would be necessary and left.
"Stupid idiots. Time to get what I want for myself." The girl put on a pair of magnetic gloves and a pair of magnetic boots. She then put on a bad Gremlin costume and hooked onto the cruiser going toward Sub Headquarters. "Now to just wait until we get there." The girl took out a CD player, cranked up some tunes, and just hung out. "Well, my first concern is a new code name. I doubt those jerks will let me use 'Scion' anymore. I need some sign of what it should be." The cruiser eventually had to make a quick stop due to traffic before heading airborne. The girl looked to her side and saw that the bus was right next to a city sign for the town of Cornell. "Any sign at all."
The cruiser touched down at the remnants of an airport. The girl quickly hid out and tried to find a taxi. She watched as her "co-conspirators" got picked up in the finest mid-level speeder money could buy. She finally got to a taxi and told the driver to head for the nearest clothing store. The driver got her to a cheap clothing store. "That'll be 25 creds." "Oh crap," she thought. She was broke. She decided to use her skills on him. "What, this sight isn't good enough for you?" He agreed it was good, but that he needed money. She quickly passed him one of her many fake credit cards under Leland McCauley's name. "Keep it. Go buy yourself a dick that works." She quickly snuck into the clothing store and looked around. She found a number that had some strange old symbol like Superman's on it, only with a C instead of the trademark S. She considered it a sign. She quickly took her patented signal jammer and rubbed it around the outfit's anti-theft devices, then left with it.
Meanwhile, the rest of their crew was ready to rock at the Sub HQ. Boombastic greeted the members at the door. "May I help you?" Kid Psycho was the first to enter. "Hey, Shane-O!"
"What's down, Psycho?"
"Not much. You still have your Info reader?"
"Of course." Kid Psycho gave Boombastic a CD.
"Well, load me up, mate!" Boombastic put it in and was greeted with loud punk music.

"Geez, that is harsh, man. No explanation or anything. Well, I'll take you in. You did bring your stuff, right?" Boombastic asked.
"But of course."
"Well, we can make this easier. Could you get all of the Info disks for me?"
"Sure thing." Kid Psycho collected his teammates' info disks.

"Jolly good crowd, don't you think?" Kid Psycho asked.
"Do you not think they gave us the ones they planned to 'eliminate' next mission?" Boombastic asked.
"I had that thought."
"Well, let's examine them for uniforms. I doubt a bunch of people in armor will go over well." The new members left to call floors. Boombastic turned to leave before a person yelled out "STOP."
Boombastic turned around and saw the girl.
Boombastic fainted. Time Warp tried to give him mouth to mouth, but Boombastic woke up quickly.
"He-he-he-hello there." Boombastic said.
"Um, hi. Is this the place for the Substitute Heroes?" the girl asked.
"Well, I don't really know about Sub-sub, wait! I'm the Substitute Heroes! Oh, I mean the Substitute Heroes LEADER. Hi."
"Wait a minute. Boombastic? Shut up! You passed me your ID card..."
"When I was getting ready to come join the Legion! Yeah!"
"Well, I made that team and just quit. I have no place else to go. I've taken the liberty of updating my Info disk. You can put it in if you'd like."

"Um, I'm not John. I'm Shane, his brother. John's on the Science Police." Boombastic said.
"Well, I didn't know that when I was hacking it," Cornell replied.
"Well, I think I can squeeze a spot for you. Welcome aboard."
"ZANG!" Cornell replied. Cornell joined the team to find a floor while Boombastic went forth in a nicely done musical number that you can E-mail the author for the words to because he's too damn tired to do so right now.
"BUT YOU CAN'T QUIT! Do you really think that a guy who needs to drink tea just so he can speak Interlac, a dude who can travel through time, and a dude in a bad suit of armor can strike fear into the hearts of the bad guys?" Boombastic asked.
