A steel-drum rendition of a typical nightly news theme can be heard - a familiar antennaed silhouette sits behind a desk, holding a stack of papers. As the lights come up, the three-piece suit and bad toupee are revealed.

"Good evening. Our top story tonight - famed comic book writer Mark Millar has been killed in the Marvel Universe, causing a spontaneous outpouring of joy amongst the heroes of that world. When asked to comment on the seemingly out-of-character celebration of a human being's death, several sources simply shrugged and said that it made for 'a better story.' More on that as it develops."

He looks to his co-anchor, a familiar mute kewpie doll in a red superhero jumpsuit - ALSO wearing a bad toupee. "I'm Ambush Bug, and this is my co-anchor, Cheeks. Welcome to WTDC Channel 5 News. Other hard-hitting stories, sports, and weather, all coming up next. Stay tuned."

Narration: "Rick.. had a problem. He just couldn't stand up to criminals the way he used to. But now, his resolve is stiffer than ever."

[Cheery whistling tune]

Hourman leaps into a swarm of criminals, an eerie grin on his face, fists connecting with jaws, one after the other.

Narration: "Miraclo, for natural male enhancement."

[A montage of video plays, various fight scenes with Amazo attacking the Justice League]

Narration: "Sometimes, power is important. You need batteries you can trust. And when Professor Ivo and T.O. Morrow send one of their killer Amazo androids up against the Justice League, the only battery they trust is Evercell."

[A spinning battery is shown, with the familiar three-note musical sting.]

A miniature covered wagon rounds a tight corner into a kitchen, the tiny driver cracking the whip on the miniature horses.

Narration: "New Feed Wagon X-Treme.."

A white dog, wearing a cape, is in hot pursuit - the wagon driver steers into a cabinet, only to have the dog effortlessly smash through the cabinet in its zeal.

Narration: ".. for Super-Pets."

The wagon is quickly smashed by the dog, who begins to devour the edible cargo while the driver flees.

"Erm, interview? About underage superheroing? I'm completely for it. Heck I used to do it myself, and now I don't cause I'm 18 so now it's not underage superheroing anymore, but uh...
Yeah, I have no idea where I was going with that either. Who the hell are you anyways?"

"Probably takes better guidance than most of them get, I suspect. There's a lot of trouble out there- and putting a teenaged kid right in the front line? That can just be asking for trouble, if you don't pay attention to what you're doing."
Something amuses Nightwing about the question, for some reason. It is a mystery.

"Kinda crazy, innit? Sometimes, man, I think, what is that about, like, who do they think they are? Sometimes a guy can be engaged in perfectly legal situations, you know what I'm sayin, and it just all looks shady but that's life! -- Hey, check me, Mandy, I'm on TV!"
Alvin might not, in fact, know what he's saying.

"Ah? Underage superheroes? I think it all depends on the circumstances. If they are a part of a superhero family or a professional group, I think they should be fine. I myself am kinda wary about the sidekick thing though."

"Huh. Guess it's better than joining a cult-like terrorist organization with highly prejudiced ideals. You probably get to pick your own clothes..."

Is there an echo out here? Probably just a crappy typist.

The man seems to hold it together briefly... then his chin begins to wibble.

Then he begins to bawl.

"BUUUUUUUCCKYYYYYYY!!!!!" He grasps Ambush Bug and begins to sob.

"Well, statistically, while a teenage superhero might not have the training or experience of his or her older equivalent, so much of the superheroism business comes down to judgment, sheer power, or pure dumb luck that I don't see why it's a problem."

The camera is focused six inches below Caitlin's face.

I'd be the biggest damn hypocrite around if I said banning underage vigilantism was a good idea. I mean, think about it - being a vigilante's considered illegal to start with. What's the point in banning something that's already illegal? If a kid wants to do something bad enough, they'll find a way to do it. Better to do it with the right training than none at all, but somehow I don't really trust the federal government to have a clue as to how to go about doing that right.

Pause.

I sure as hell hope that's my bike you're staring at.
