Redemption: What A Crock [Period 6, Monday]

After the class had assembled in the danger shop, Ares pointed to two lists of names. "I have, purely randomly of course, assigned you to two groups, the Wannabe Heroes, in search of redemption, and the Annoying Sidekicks, who will supposedly aid the Heroes on their quest."

"Now, today, you will choose your sidekick. Or more accurately, your sidekick will choose you, because they're annoying that way. Heroes, your job will be to try to dissuade your sidekick from following you around on your lonely quest for redemption, however actual physical force that would result in damage to your sidekick, while amusing to me, is not generally considered a good tactic. Sidekicks, you stick to your heroes like glue. Let nothing, not even physical force, stop you."

"Well, let's get started."

"Oh, I'm a regular MacGadget," Rodney assured Dawn. "If there's a better solution possible, I'm the one who can find it in time. I'm a member of Mensa, you know." He may have puffed his chest out a bit at that.

"What's Mensa?" Dawn asked, oh-so-innocently.

Rodney gave her a look but answered anyway. He was practically incapable of not answering. "It's an international society of geniuses devoted to stimulating intellectual development."

ooc: I'm turning in but we can pick it up tomorrow afternoon if you want.

"Huh." Dawn considered that. "What's your best idea for a super gadget?"

[ooc: Night! Okay.]

"I'm actually working on the design for a personal shield device that would make the wearer invulnerable." Rodney thought that would be the perfect gadget for a hero without superpowers. "You could fight a villain stronger and faster than you and never risk getting hurt. Even if he had laser vision, you'd be completely protected."

"What about X-ray vision?" Dawn was trying very, very hard not to compare him with Warren, but it never hurt to check. "How do you feel about robots made to look like human girls? But, um, for sex purposes and to cater to every whim you have?"

"X-ray vision is okay, but it lacks universal applicability. I mean, how often are you likely to save the day just by seeing through a wall? Not having to worry about getting injured, on the other hand, will always be a benefit."

Rodney stared at Dawn when she started talking about sex robots. He had no idea she was a lesbian. "Um, are you likely to want a fembot? Not that it wouldn't be totally hot and all, but don't you think that's a little bit creepy?"

"Oh, thank god, that was so the right answer," she beamed at him, enjoying the feeling of relief. "It's totally creepy, but I knew another guy who apparently isn't anything like you who made fembots and it was gross."

Satisfied with that, she said, "Okay, you can be my sidekick. Do you want a nickname, or should I just call you Rodney?"

Rodney was pleased to have gotten through the trick question successfully ~~and a little disappointed that Dawn might not be a lesbian~~.

"Wonderful! I promise I will make a great sidekick and no, no nickname necessary." He had known he would ace this assignment. "Unless you're using a pseudonym as the hero, in which case I suppose I'll have to have one as well."

"I don't need a psuedonym, I don't think," Dawn decided. "I'd keep looking around for someone else anyway. Besides, keeping a secret like that lasts about ten minutes with the people I know."

"Oh good. I didn't want to get stuck with something really lame. 'Rodney' has always worked out just fine for me." There was no way he was going to mention how hard it was to get certain people *cough*Jeannie*cough* to call him that.

"You never wanted to be like The Astrophysicist, or something like that?" Dawn asked. "It's not that catchy, but it'd be very descriptive."

"Well, Nobel Prize Winner would be good, but it's a bit of a mouthful. I think I'll do well when I become Doctor McKay. It has a nice ring to it."

Rodney regarded Dawn. "What about you? Anything you wanted to go by?"

Buffy. "No, not so much," she admitted, "I'm kinda boring for a superhero. Sorry about that."

"That's all right," he waved away Dawn's apology. "I'm not that good with names anyway so that's one less thing to worry about." Most of the time, he didn't even bother to learn names unless someone impressed him or he had to deal with them a lot.

"So, oh sidekick mine, I have another question for you, and this is really really important." She paused, and gave him a very serious look. "What do you like on your pizza? And what's your favorite kind of doughnut?"

Rodney smiled. These were very important questions indeed. "I like everything on my pizza. As for donuts, I love the glazed chocolate cake ones but I'll certainly eat any others as long as they aren't lemon-filled." He gave Dawn a serious look. "I have a severe citrus allergy."

"No citrus, check." Then Dawn realized exactly what that meant. "You can't have key lime pie? Like, ever? Whoa, major suckage. And when you say everything, do you mean, like, anchovies?"

She looked at him very hopefully.

"Not ever, no. But really, it's not like I know what I'm missing so it's not all that bad." The potential for anaphylactic shock bothered him much more than missing a dessert he'd never tasted. "Anchovies? They aren't a necessity but sure, why not?"

"You should try them with pineapple sometime," Dawn said, then thought, "or wait, are they a citrus fruit, too? I thought I remembered hearing that somewhere."

"No, pineapple isn't a citrus." Rodney looked like he was very far away for a moment. "Mmmm... Hawaiian pizza."

"Oh, excellent!" Dawn bounced excitedly. "So, what kind of villains should we go after, do you think?"

Rodney considered this. "Well, my talents would be best put to use against the crazy mad scientist type. What about you?"

[ooc: I feel like I should be in the Superheroes class.]

"Oooh, those are good ones! I'm usually more the demon and vampire type, but I don't mind diversifying to give you something new to do," she offered.

[ooc: *snerk* ]

"Thanks for the consideration," he smirked. "You'd hate to see me when I get bored."
