Hm.

I guess you should do it if you really want to.

I wouldn't exactly complain about getting to be a superhero or anything. Actually, that's kind of a great side adventure, and not everybody gets to have those. I'll get a secret identity, a costume- maybe even a partner. Every Batman needs a Robin, like every Inspector needs a Constable. It brings previously untouchable plot ideas back into reach. Friendship dynamics, problems separating their personal lives from the professional, broadening audience appeal. People can usually relate to one partner or the other.

I'd probably have to put a lot of work into finding the right person in the first place, since I'd be all by myself.

Personally I don't see a lot of appeal in that, but everyone's entitled to their opinion. This can be my Batman Begins.

Oh. [ And the potential New York trip got ten times cooler. Go go gadget questions. ] Sorry. I probably shouldn't have assumed I'd be alone before I knew anything for sure. This mun is the worst commissioner I've ever had.

But now that I know I wouldn't have to hold auditions for a partner, I can take it off of my to-do list. What are your powers? What about me and Annie before we disappeared? Do you know what Shirley's were? What do you think of the Wonder Twins?

The world is my toolbox and everything around me is Perfect Room Temperature. Mine was pretty easy to figure out, though. You and Annie must've had something more complicated, because we never found anything that worked. I don't know about Shirley, either. And they're okay? I don't know if you mean, like, the guys from the Super Friends or if that's a suggestion...

I'm the Repairman. People keep thinking I'm gonna beat people to death.

Cool. Cool, cool, cool. I guess they wouldn't think you were there to start a porno like people would in a porno. I asked about the Wonder Twins because I'm trying to gauge your feelings on coordinated costumes and team power rings. [ And here is where his hand snaps up to point at you, Troy. ] The two of us would be a lot more interesting than them, of course. I'm pretty sure nobody would turn into a bucket of water.

Yeah, that guy drew the short straw on powers...

I mean, mine aren't all that cool or anything, but maybe you'll get something really neat!

The world is your toolbox, Troy. That's awesome. We could be prepared for anything. And we could be at the perfect level of room temperature comfort while we're at it. Not everybody gets to fly, but it's not always a bad thing.

Yeah? [ Beat. He'd try to say he never cries, but he kind of does a lot and Abed's already pointed that out. He'd kind of on the edge of it now, but in a good way. ] Thanks, man.

I really miss you. I hope you can make it, even if I did have to be the lame Wonder Twin.

Don't worry about it. We'll revamp. Better, faster, stronger. Twice the wonder. None of the creepy twins.

I'm in. Never a question.

Yep. Never a question. [ BRING IT IN FOR A HAND THING, BRO. ] We'll probably have that exact same conversation if I make it in. Could get pretty meta.

[ Clap, clap! ] No problem, right? If there's anybody who can handle this place that isn't already a superhero, it's probably you.

I am pretty adaptable.

Everyone waits around to get called to be a superhero, and we get a chance to really do it. I bet I could make a great documentary out of it. Ooh, or superhero-sighting bingo. Crossover alliances. It'll be like that time the Ninja Turtles met the Power Rangers.
