fandomhigh | Leadership For Social Change - Class 2

When the students arrived, they found the classroom set up like a high school auditorium. A big banner declared "Welcome, Henchpeople!" Tables lined the edge of the auditorium with signs announcing the companies represented. Lexcorp, Primatech, Umbrella Corp., Wolfram and Hart, Prescott Pharmaceuticals, Microsoft and others all appear to have a presence here.

"What up, leaders?" Dr. Horrible asked the class. Today he wore a white lab coat and white gloves. "Today we're going to discuss recruiting. You may think you can hire any old thug off the street to do your bidding. While it is true that cash will entice many to follow you, those that are motivated strictly by cash are easily lured from your side at times of pressure. Hire a union henchperson and you'll pay more, yes, but you get your money's worth.

"I want you to practice your henchperson recruiting speech. Tell them what you have to offer. Benefits and pensions are a good start but try to be creative. And as you listen to your fellow students, try to think of what a henchperson would be looking for and feel free to ask questions."

[OCD ~~coming~~ up. Work's likely to be crazy for me today, but please tag off each other if you feel like it!]

"Here's the thing, darlings," Emma began, looking them over. "I know what it is you want. I know every wish from the first time you blew out your birthday candles to your deepest darkest desires. And you can either work for me, where some of those dreams have a chance of coming true, or you can go against me and see them go up in flames. Or all over the front page of the local news papers if I get bored."

"It's your choice, of course, and there's no guarantee that I'll even hire you, but don't you want to inherit the Earth?"

Jane raised her hand. "I don't think I'm meek enough to inherit the Earth."

Apparently Jane was going all out with the references today, up to and including the Bible.

"The meek don't get anything except stepped on," Emma sniffed. "Darwinism, darling."

"I'm looking for people with passion, ambition, and a willingness to toss out the current status-quo. Those with a weak constitution need not apply."

"Oh, you lost me at 'ambition'," Jane said. "Best to move on to the next minion."

"Indeed. Good luck at Microsoft, dear."

"Why do you think we need your help inheriting the earth?" Quinn asked, with more confidence than she necessarily felt. "Other than the implied blackmail."

Emma was just going to give the poor little new girl the smile that unsettled grown men.

"It's very simple," she assured her. "I get what I want. And the more useful you make yourself to me, the bigger your piece of the pie."

Oh, please, like what worked on grown men had anything to do with what worked on Quinn. She simply smiled back.

"It'd have to be mighty good pie to get me to work for someone else."
