In the pentagon, the new guardians of the globe were handed out packets, given to them by Robot.

'As soon as the forensic investigation has concluded, we'll be moving into the guardians headquarters; until then, we'll be training here' Robot then lists things from the packet.

'Breakfast is at 6:00 a.m., then close-in combat exercises until lunch' Robot look up to notice one of Dupli-Kate's clones.

'Where is Kate Prime?' He ask

'Had a thing, I can fill her in' She responded.

Rex then butted in; he recovered but had a black eye.

'Okay, just to make it clear, there is no universe in which I wake up at 6:00 a.m. and the world isn't on fire' Rex burned his packet.

'Come on, Robot We don't need this boot camp bullshit; it's us'

'We're not on the Team Team any longer, Rex' Robot said.

'Exactly' Black Samson said.

'I'm sure you've had a lot of experience wrangling teenagers, but I was with guardians from day one'

'Wow, thanks, dad' Rex said sarcastically.

'Maybe if you didn't lose your powers, you might've been there to help the guardians on their last day.

'Rex, you should shut up' Andrew said.

'And what if I don't?' Rex said

Andrew got close to his face.

'If you don't want another ass kick, I suggest you Shut Up' Andrew said in a threating tone that shocked everyone, even Black Samon, Rex could swear he could see glowing red eyes from his back sunglasses. Andrew then went back to his spot.

'Look, I don't know you, but we need a leader we can look at in the eye, not a bunch of one's and zero's, no offense' Samon said

'That's actually super offensive, so wait, you think you should be in charge?' The clone ask.

'I am the most experienced' He said.

'Yea, at losing your powers' Rex cracked another joke.

'Didn't I crack that joke already?'

Rex stood and walked around.

'Why are we even putting up with this guy?' Rex ask.

'He wears a suit! It takes batteries; let's just get Eve back in here'

'I'm new to this whole team thing, but I thought it involved teamwork' Rae said.

'So did I' Robot said. Rae stood up and walked out, leaving her packet behind.

'Call me when you figure it out; I'll be in the gym' Soon Kate's clone left as well.

'Me too' Then Rex walks out.

'I'll go supervise'

'No, you won't!' Kate Clone said.

Rex let out a laugh.

'I can do whatever I like' Black Samson then left.

'Good, first day, Robot'

Once Samson left the room, only Andrew, Robot, and Monster Girl remained.

'Oh, Andrew I have received a massage from Cecil, he wants to see you in his office'

'Ok' Andrew said before leaving the room.

'Um...I can't do three combat exercises a day' Monster girl said.

'I'm on a rather tight timetable to get this team operational'
