Issue #10 - Revenge of the Marketing Drones!

[boostedfailure]

[Christmas came and went, and Booster recovered from that terrible cold that the raid on the Milkman's factory generated after all the singing. So much singing. So much Skeets telling him "I told you so." When the cards came on Christmas Mike threw them in a corner, finally opening them today

One of your endorsements?

[Integra has put the parking brake on the car and rests her elbow on the opened window, her eye on the billboard. She'd slowed down after seeing Booster on the side of the road.]

[boostedfailure]

Something like that. Man's gotta eat, just... Never EVER eat that. If it ever shows up, just let it sit there collecting dust.

[hellsing_knight]

Then why endorse it in the first place?

[boostedfailure]

It involved a dump truck full of money and the ability to do things like get a nice apartment and actually pay for suit repairs?

[hellsing_knight]

All for something you would not eat yourself. [There's no hostility there, it's merely an observation. She glances up at the billboard again, then to Skeets, and finally to Booster once more. Integra's breath is a puff of white in the cold air.]

Are there others like you, back home?

[boostedfailure]

Super Heroes, or sell outs?

[hellsing_knight]

Wanting financial stability doesn't make you a sell out, Mr Gold. [Selling your image for kiddie cereal juuuuuuuust might though, but she's feeling polite.] And I did mean Super Heroes.

[boostedfailure]

There are more than enough super villains here, but there are a few heroes. But most of the villain types are from Gotham from what I can tell so they are.... More disturbingly dangerous and less knock buildings overy dangerous than back home.

[hellsing_knight]

"Super villains"? Would you mind telling me who they are?

[boostedfailure]

There's Lex Luthor and the Joker. Those two are about the two most dangerous people on my world and last I heard they were here. There are also a bunch of other gotham types, but that wasn't my city so I'm not as well versed in their habits and actions.

[hellsing_knight]

Yes, that's right- you mentioned Metropolis once before.

[She gives the key in the ignition a turn back, the engine going quiet. Might as well save gas if they're going to chat.]

What made you step into heroics?

[boostedfailure]

I made some bad career decisions and threw away a decent life by being an idiot. The idea came to me when I was kind of at a low so I ran with it.
