taco man and Ronnie pull up to an old Chinese restaurant
Ronnie "oh cool this Chinese restaurant is a front for your hero agency."
Taco man puts the car in park "no we just work out of the basement. Miss Wu is awesome she let us rent out the room for practically nothing."
they open the door to the Chinese restaurant you hear a bell ring. when the door opens a man is sitting behind the counter and an older woman in the background cleaning.
taco man says excitedly " hey Miss wu hay Shinji." he also says something in Chinese.
The younger gentleman behind the counter says "how many times do I have to tell you my name's not Shinji it's Dave."
Mis wu Interrupts yelling across the restaurant " do you have my money yet you're 3 months behind on rent! for that pigsty you call it an agency, office or whatever you do."
taco man says frantically pointing to the back room "Quickly to my office!"
Dave says trying not to laugh " is it an office if you live there."
Taco man gets right in Dave's face pointing at him. "look I don't know what you did with Shinji! but I will find out what you've done and bring Shinji back!" walking away backward doing the I got my eyes on you hand Signal.
As Taco man and Ronnie go to the back room Miss Wu yells. "bring me my rent by the end of the week and stop trying to speak Chinese! you don't even know what you're even saying!"
They go into the basement of the Chinese restaurant you see the table, chairs, couch, TV a kitchen, and a few cots. It is very much lived in there's a mess everywhere and empty wrappers. It's not filthy but you can tell they don't clean up a lot.
Taco man calls out "STEVEN!!!! come here and meet our new recruit!"
You see someone sitting up from the couch turning his head looking over at the door "oh hey boss I didn't hear you come in." A speaking with kind of a nasally/congested voice. He has a metal plate on his forehead that goes to the back of their head kind of looks like a mohawk. There's some engine/rocket booster on the back of his head.
Steven "who is this guy a witness? Maybe he's a major villain that you captured!"
Taco man puts his arm around Ronnie "No I just hit him with my car earlier."
Steven placed his hands on his head looking very freaked out "WHAT!!!" put his head in his hands saying with distress. "we can't afford this right now our insurance is going to go through the roof! we're going to lose everything!"
Taco man "don't worry he's going to pay us back he's our new sidekick"
Ronnie squinting his eyes saying with a concerning voice. " I don't remember agreeing to that I'm pretty sure the accident was your fault."
Steven smiling "I should have known the great taco man had everything figured out"
Steven said aggressively. "wait a minute taco man we don't need another person we handled crisis just fine on our own. Like that time you locked yourself in your car. Or that time we beat up a gang of midgets. all wearing uniforms carrying bats led by one older fat guy with a whistle around his neck."
Taco man puts his head down " everything you just stated is true we did overcome impossible odds. But when you hear about our new sidekick." Throw his hand up in the air with Spotlight and fire appearing. he is holding a microphone in his other hand. "you'll be begging for him to join our team. Once you hear a little bit more about him. Now let me introduce our new sidekick" pointing to Ronnie
Taco man starts talking like a game show host. "Let me introduce our new sidekick. Ronnie but to the rest of the world, he goes by armor lock. his ability is he can make a forcefield appear around his body that makes him invulnerable. but there's a catch he cannot move while it's activated. he may not be able to control it yet but he has the spirit of a hero. he is 20 years old has low self-esteem but he wants to help anyone he can."
Ronnie "how did you get all my information I didn't even tell you half of that?"
Steven shouting " don't interrupt in the middle of his show!"
Taco man clearing his throat " like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. my number 2 in command is Steven. hero name Hammerhead Steven power hammerhead. he has a metal plate on his head with a rocket booster in the back of the skull. fun fact whenever he sneezes. the rocket booster goes off automatically and he has horrible allergies so that happens quite often." pointing at a hole in the wall and a hole in the table. "he is 17 years old and he's very loyal to his leading officer taco man which he looks up to like a father figure."
"and now for our leader taco man. hero name taco man. hero row rink 322,839. Power BADASS! personality well you all know who taco man is."
"Now that introductions are out of the wedding we can begin the fun stuff." rubbing his hands together menacingly. " let's begin your hero training." pointing at a chair. "please have a seat Steven let's show him our Training Method shall we."
Steven Whispering quietly to talk taco man. "Training Method what training method? we've never trained before."
taco man whispering. "it's okay Follow My Lead just tye him down and I'll do the rest."
Taco man and Steven beginning to tie Ronnie to the chair.
Ronnie saying very concerned. "what the hell is going on here why are you tying me up!"
Play tied to the chair with a stupid amount of rope like you would see in a cartoon.
Taco man Starts running into the kitchen saying. "we're about a test your stamina along with reaction time. using your ability will teach you how to activate it. without being in stressful situations. So we will be putting you in stressful situations."
Ronnie saying concerned and Confused. "that doesn't make any sense? how are you going to train me not to be stressed when you're making me stressed!?"
taco man "don't worry it is all a part of the process Steven come here and grab this."
Taco man and Steven are walking toward Ronnie tied to the chair. Steven is holding a power drill, Taco man has a giant knife! "all right we're going to test your abilities."
