Ezra got into his superhero get-up and went to the lounge of the superhero centre to try and get his plan in motion.

“Echo!”

“There’s really no need to yell i could hear your footsteps from a block away”

“Okay Mr supersonic hearing I need to cash in a favour”

“I don’t owe you a favour”

“Well you do now, I need you to make a phone call offering an engineering job to a friend of mine”

“And why can’t he just apply for a job”

“Well he doesn’t want it but I’m sure we can change his mind, in return I’ll let you use some of the fancy gadgets he makes”

“Fine but if he says no I’m not going to argue”

Toby was in the kitchen making a batch of instant ramen when the phone line rang. The call was from the superhero league, something about seeing his work at the bank and wanting to offer him a job. How did they even get his phone number? Of course he had absolutely no desire to go, they told him to just come and see what it’s about before declining. He didn’t need to, he knew what they weren’t about and that was helping people like him.

Maya sat on the kitchen table kicking her feet waiting for her dinner, “Who was that?”

“Y’know that glorified pigeon man at the bank, he wants me to come work for him”

“Work for a superhero? That’s so cool!, please please let me come with you”

“I’m not going to work for him, but… if it would really make you happy we can go there. Just for one day”

“Yay!,” she exclaimed, hugging her father, honestly even though he doesn’t want to admit it, he also really wanted to check it out, Magic has always fascinated him even though the people who have it usually end up power hungry bastards. And so the next day they would go, scope it out and then politely decline. Maybe he could even nick some high tech materials.
