3rd Person POV:

"Argh! I am going to be late," Remus thinks as he jumps inside the elevator right before it closes. Panting, he catches his breath as he straightens his bag.

Remus Lupin is an English language and linguistics professor at the University of Manchester. He lives alone in his apartment, save for his dog, Norman. He has brown hair, light blue eyes, is 6'2" and is 28 years old. He is usually on time or early for everything, but today, it seems like the world is against him. For starters, his alarm didn't go off, causing him to wake up 30 minutes before his first class of the day. Then he couldn't find his laptop for another 5 minutes and his dog seemed intent on making sure he left home late. When he finally got on the elevator, he had 10 minutes to spare before he was officially late, and the college was a 15-minute car ride away.

The elevator traveled down slowly and Remus looked around to find an odd bunch of people. "Pretty normal," he thinks. Just as they were going to reach the ground level and Remus was getting ready to make a run for it, a brown-haired man, who seemed to be slightly younger than him, said, "So, I bet you're wondering why I have gathered you here." Before Remus had time to process what he just heard, the black-haired man pressed the emergency stop button, causing the elevator to jerk to a stop.

Surprised and terrified gasps erupted from everyone, but Remus remained silent. "What is happening? Is this a joke? Please let me go, I am going to be late," he says to the black-haired man. The man, who is wearing a black suit, looks at him and says, "This is not a joke. I will explain everything to you, Remus." Shocked, Remus says, "How do you know my name?"

"I am the one who gathered you guys here," the man says, before addressing everyone in the elevator.

"Hello guys, my name is Sirius Black and I work for The Time-Savers. You have all been under surveillance from our team for the past 2 months and have shown that you all are capable of saving this planet from what is to come."

"How is that possible? Save the planet from what?" a blonde-haired woman inquires.

"Your simple day-to-day actions are what have led you 5 people to be chosen for this job. The rest will be explained soon," the man, Sirius, clarifies. "Now, first things first, I need you all to introduce yourselves to each other. Start with your names and occupations. You can go first," he said, pointing to the woman you spoke earlier.

"Okay. My name is Louise Page and I am a taxi driver," she says.

"I am Martyn Sanders and I am the IT manager for Pinterest."

"I am Sam Patters and I work as a Chemistry teacher."

"My name is Ella Blackwood and I work at a pub down the street."

Finally, it was Remus's turn. "I am Remus Lupin and I am an English professor at Manchester University."

Sirius smiles and claps his hands as they finish. "Perfect, now we can get out of this elevator."

He presses the button for opening the doors and 5 seconds later, the doors open to a white corridor with a face scanner on the side. It scans everyone's faces and a computer's voice says, "Welcome to the Time-Savers headquarters."

Sirius leads them through the corridor to an opaque door that opens with his fingerprint. Beyond that door was a huge space, bustling with people and desks and papers. There was a giant clock at the furthest end that was ticking slowly. Sirius leads them to a bare and grey room with a long table around which are 7 chairs. They take their seats when another woman enters the room. She has long light brown hair and is wearing a white formal dress. She takes the empty seat at the head of the table and greets Sirius before addressing everyone else.
