009 // not superhero behavior // video; UNFLITERED
[The video cuts in and there's a cacophony of noise and shouting and, in the distance, the loud creaking groan of metal and glass shattering. When the camera finally focuses, it's on a car which seems to have been tossed into the side of the a building. It leans precariously out onto its side, pedestrians scrambling out of its way, before it tips and flips out onto its hood back down onto the sidewalk. From behind the camera somebody laughs and then whistles, like he's impressed. There's a blur of motion and then the camera settles on the face of a frazzled looking young woman; her hair is disheveled and there's a small cut on her cheek. Whomever is holding the camera speaks; it's Teddy.]
'Kay, so now tell the camera what you just told me.
[The woman seems confused, but then finally speaks in a shaky voice, the words a bit robot as she's having to repeat them a second time.] Th-thank you so much for helping me. If only more h-heroes in the city were like you, H-Hulkling. [She nods to reafirm this statement, though her eyes dart back and forth skittishly. The camera quickly whips around to show Teddy's smiling. He mouths the words: 'Oh yeah, I'm good.' Quickly, he turns the camera back at the woman who is trying to brush bits of asphalt out of her hair.]
So, newly-saved citizen. You think today's fine example of superheroing deserves some kind of recognition? Maybe bigger and brighter things for the Hulkling? Movin' on up, to the East side, to that deluxe apartment in the Superheroing sky? Whatdya say?
[The woman seems even more confused, but eventually nods, completely unsure of what she's agreeing to.] Y-yes?
[When the camera whips round again to Teddy, he is grinning even wider now with lazy satisfaction.] You heard it here first, folks. One out of every one civilian saved by daring acts of white-knuckled heroism says Hulkling deserves bigger and brighter things. And since, last I checked, my team leader had whatever awesome he used to have sucked out of him by one of those facehugging emo-vaccuums -- thus rendering him as effective as a Care Bear -- that only means one thing.
As of right now, Hulking is the newly appointed leader of the Young Avengers. Oh yeah. It's true. The wait is over.
ooc; having gone out to do some patrolling to work off the stress of billy and eli's apparent polymorphing, teddy himself has been polymorphed. Surprise, surprise. he's lost his modesty/shame/self-doubt (newly added). Which means cocky, dickish, overconfident!Teddy is a go. heroes may hear that woman was just saved from being run over by a car by Hulkling, though in the process he racked up a bunch of unnecessary property damage and went about it in a way that could have gotten a lot of innocent people hurt. nobody was, though.
