Tommy looked up at the tall tower in front of him. He hated to admit it but he was nervous. Not scared, but nervous. The great Tommy innit in never scared!

He doubts the heroes would see through his forged papers. Running through his papers through his head once again like he did last night he was sure that the heroes would not see through his lie. Not yet and not ever. He needed this job.

Taking a deep breath he stepped into the building... and almost immediately ran into the #5 pro hero Kitsune. Well shit. What an amazing first impression.

"Sorry" Saying that I cringed at what my voice sounded like.

"No, it's my fault. Are you here for the Dream Team job?" Kitsune looked at me from underneath his fox masquerade mask. Fucking Furry.

"Yeah" Giving him a nod I walked (More like ran) to the front desk with the secretary.

"I'm here for the Dream Team Job application" The lady in front of me had long black hair that was in a ponytail. Her name tag said her name was Kristin.

"What is your name and last name?" She politely asked looking up from her computer.

"Tom Simons" She typed something in her computer before giving me a name card.

"This will give you clearance for the day. There are three stages of testing. You have to pass all three stages before you get the job. The first stage is an interview. The second is how well you use your power, if you don't have a power they test how well you handle random situations in a seconds notice. The third is how well you'll hold up in a fight, you never know when someone will try to stack the tower. Good luck!

Giving her a wave as I walked over to the elevator. On the paper that she gave me it said I would go to floor 50. Pressing the 50 button on the elevator I waited. The elevator music was quite annoying and did nothing to help my rising anxiety. There was a light chime and the elevator doors opened.

The hallway was filled with people reading over papers and reciting lines. There were a bunch more people applying for the job than I expected. Now that I think about it is expected that a bunch of people would apply for this job. It was the chance of a lifetime to meet the top three heroes.

Leaning against the wall I waited for my name to be called. The cut on my arm from last night was throbbing. I forgot to clean and bandage that. Oops, hopefully It doesn't start bleeding. That would be bad.

After what felt like an eternity my name was called. Yay! Walking through the white hall I made it to another elevator. Thai time I had to press the button for floor 51. Once the chime sounded and the doors opened I walked to a door on the other side of the hallway.

"Tom Simons?" As I entered the office I was greeted by Flame sitting in a chair. He looked incredibly bored and done with this all.

He looked just like he did on TV. Black messy hair with orange tips. Pointy ears and canines with a white bandana. His hero costume was a white and black hoodie with a bullet proof vest on top. He had cargo pants which I'm guessing is made of a more flexible fabric.

"Yep, that's me." I put my hands in my pocket to hide them. I didn't need the #2 heroe to see my hands shaking.

"Please take a seat." He indicated the chair in front of him.

"Ah yes, the chair of doom" I didn't mean to say that out loud as I took a seat but apparently I did. It received a snicker from Flame in response.

"This part of the interview is the part where we talk about your papers and why you want the job. It's the actual interview part.

Sorry I only spea- "Tommy Shut The Fuck Up!"Where stories live. Discover now
