Sister Shadow, another student who seemed to fade into the background of the larger group, approached Arsenal and the digitizer next. She essentially made herself shadows from the waist down and moved on a black ink or smoke like darkness beneath her. After she stepped out another female with a Czech accent, Gravitas, came forward. It seemed as if Shattercrash and Shuriken were finishing up and Alex stepped up to Arsenal as most of the others had already got suits made. Even the blonde kid that floats everywhere who picked the alias Warlock…

[color=#FFD700]“Can I go next?”[/color] Alex asked again as another face at the academy that also sported a worn superhero suit came forward. 

[color=green]“I’ll fight him.”[/color] said the time lost hero Legion, stepping up to the front.

Arsenal grinned and liked seeing enthusiasm among the group. These two and the speedster came in with decently made super-suits that just needed upgrades. Roy could remember the guy in green, yellow, and black… he was some sort of time displaced hero from the 40’s. With the Justice Society trying and failing to rise up again in the superhero community, Titans Academy was his next best bet. The kid in the white hood though, Arsenal remembered the power set but the name just wasn’t coming to him. 

[color=red]“What was your alias again, bro?”[/color] he asked Alex. 

[color=yellow]“The Shield.”[/color] Alex replied proudly.

[color=red]“Yeah… pretty sure the Red Circle Comics group would sue you into oblivion for that one. Gonna have to workshop something later.”[/color] Roy stated bursting the kids bubble. [color=red]“You were the guy from the 40’s right?”[/color] he then asked turning to Legion before being interrupted by Switchblade. 

Switchblade had eyes all over the place. Between Oracle, Flamebird, Gravitas, and Sister Shadow he didn’t know which one he wanted to try and impress. Most of the other students were talking amongst themselves about their new suits and what they wanted to try in the War Room, so Randall took his shot. He wanted to be the one to best Alex, as they grew up together in Midway and went to some of the same schools. He’d be damned if this guy who smelled like old people and polyester was going to get one over on him. 

[color=#1E90FF]“I wanted to go against Alex in the War Room. Everybody thinks he’s team leader material… but I’M the guy who almost took down Polaris!”[/color] Switchblade got loud, making his case. 

[color=red]“You got lucky and speared him through the shoulder, I’ll give you that. Let’s make it interesting… we’ll put the three of you in the War Room...”[/color] Arsenal began to say before turning to the rest of the group, [color=red]“...unless anybody else wants in on this one?! Who’s tired of standing around?”[/color]

[color=yellow]"You didn't even get lucky, Randall. You're reckless and you're gonna get somebody hurt."[/color] Alex talked smack in the most polite of ways. 

[color=#1E90FF]"The scenery's gonna be fake, but the beating I'm gonna give ya is gonna be real."[/color] Switchblade responded with a smirk looking over his shoulder to see if any of the girls were paying attention. 

[color=red]"This isn't Mortal Kombat, none of the objectives include hospitalizing your teammates. You want to see how tough you are work up the villain roster in the holo-droid settings. If you can beat level 8 metahumans and super criminals then I'll give you access to levels 9 and 10."[/color] Arsenal explained to try and deescalate the situation brewing. 

[b][color=yellow]"This isn't the 6th grade, he wants to scrap we can scrap. Back then my mom would've whipped me and grounded me for three weeks for getting into a fight at school. Guy's always been kind of a creep towards girls, and he's just generally a douchebag..."[/color][/b] Alex thought before stepping into the digitizer and getting a new suit without a hood, or sleeves for that matter.

[color=red]"That's an upgrade, I like that you went..."[/color] Arsenal began to comment before Switchblade shoulder checked Alex on his way into the digitizer.

[color=yellow][b]"Douchebag isn't the right word..."[/b][/color] Alex thought. 

After a few moments Switchblade stepped out basically looking like a character from Mortal Kombat. Complete with the ninja-like mask.

[color=red]"The digitizer is ready when you are, soldier."[/color] Arsenal said looking over to Legion before turning to the rest of the Academy students. [color=red]"If anybody else wants in on the simulation, speak now or forever wait in line!"[/color]
