To Infinity And Beyond!

Commerce City, glorious American beacon of business and model metropolis for the world, is under the constant threat of supervillains. The police are either too helpless, incompetent, or smart to oppose the dastardly madmen (and madwomen) that would unleash havoc on the lives of the millions of commuters that call the city their home. Are there any heroes that will heed the call and defend Commerce City for free.

Charade points at the Spark folds her forearms atop each other perpendicular to the "earth" and flexes her head down with a significant nod....

Billiards offers a pointed thumb at Charade "Look at I Dream of Genie over here pretending to teleport her into her bottle." He whispers to Bravehound, "Perhaps she need a rest." He winks joking with the shining hero.

The Electric Avenger copies Charade's gestures, and looks silly.

There's a loud pop and Charade vanishes!

"Now to No Scratch Slim at the Hq camp," says Quizno impatiently. He leads them through the jungle and there are many exciting adventures along the way.

They arrive at a swampy area of yellow barked red-leaved mangrove trees. Interconnected roots cover the marshy ground, and all the heroes are splattered with mud as they progress across the difficult terrain. "Had to hide somewhere the foreheads wouldn't look," says Quizno sadly.

Eventually the heroes reach a cluster of about twenty tents. There are dozens of Green Tables milling about, being industrious or playing pool on makeshift wooden tables, using fruit as balls.

One young-looking Green Table, perhaps only sixteen or so, is cooking ugly looking swampfishes over a campfire, his starcue serving as the spit. Apparently starcues are fireproof, notes Billiards Boy, happy to find his weapon can double as a steak skewer on July 4th.

"Where's No Scratch?" asks Quizno. The boy points and the heroes are led into a large tent. A small, elderly blue man about two feet high is standing on a table. The table has a large map of Hq laid out on it, the rebel camp is marked, along with the occupied pool hall on Whiskey Lake. "Blast!" curses the old man as he shuffles pieces around.

Billiards looks around with interest, espcially to see if any of the Green Tables are women. How boring would this place be with only men? He shakes his head when he sees No Scratch, the little man remainds him of a cube of blue chalk, "Greeting!" He stands with hands on hips very heroic like.

There's an equal mix of male and female Green Tables of the humanoid kinds, you see a few aliens here and there with no immediately discernible gender. The Green Tables seem to have the standard population breakdown in a sci-fi guardian league: mostly human looking, with a few weird token individuals like a lizard guy, someone with three eyes, a big fuzzy thing, etc.
"WHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA?" says No Scratch Slim. "The lost Starcue! And it seems like it chose a new wielder. What a joyous occasion, but first...*$&%(#! and $(*(#*$! and $$(*@#!" he continues cursing at the map. He then turns back, "Who are you all?"

"These are super heroes from 'ert', they've agreed to help us against the foreheads," says Quizno.

When Charade dissapears, the Spark looks himself up and down to see if he also has "gone somewhere else".

Billiards looks at his Starcue and then corrects Quizno, "Its Earth...anyhow, we are H.O.T.S.T.U.F.F., and we have come to recharge my Cue, help our alien friend recharge his ship, and to save HQ for you. Not all of us are here, but they may be back. I'm known as Billiards Boy...I mean Billiards Man." He keeps kicking himself for screwing that up, the press can really sway one's opinion, "This is The Spark, and that is Bravehound. We are superheroes!" He winks at the little blue man, "Perhaps we can help?" He glances at the map from his location.

Billiard's scratches himself and looks around unsure if time just stopped or if he's being totally ignored.
