A Smashing Start

Summary
After four to ten months of hero training, our heroes finally meet the rest of the team. Every member received an email with a time and a place to meet, along with a list of the rest of the team's names.

"Gerard" arrives to the meeting place, a conference room in the NASP hero academy barracks, half an hour early and spends the whole time doing really uncomfortable-looking stretches. Xavier and Dahlia both arrive exactly on time, Xavier with a bag of cinnamon sugar cookie dough. Val and Flare roll up on heelies fifteen minutes late with Starbucks, and Flare illusions confetti with a party popper noise to mark their arrival. Upon viewing the aesthetic of the rest of the team, which was decidedly edgy, Flare uses their morph ability to change into sunglasses and a black leather jacket.

A NASP employee enters the room and gives them a file with information about their new placement as well as forms for registering their new hero names and team name. He then exits.

"Gerard" asks the twins if they have any powers other than their wings, and the twins telepathically agree to tell the others that they're Kryptonians. Xavier, knowing that the twins are bullshitting him, replies that he's Yithian. "Gerard" asserts that he doesn't care what the others are, only what they can do, and he doesn't even care about that very much.

Notable Quotes
“Y’all better not go outside during November, someone might try to bag themselves a Thanksgiving dinner.” -"Gerard", commenting on the twin's birdlike appearance.
