[ the ourpowers feed starts up with kamala and amadeus in the park. except they’re not kamala and amadeus, but ms. marvel in full costume and amadeus as the hulk, except not the hulk most people might be familiar with. he’s a younger, more confident hulk. they’re sitting on a bench and kamala flashes a peace sign. ]

I’m Amadeus also known as the Totally Awesome Hulk. [he flexes for the camera.] And this here is Ms. Marvel. Back home us and a few others had a team going and while it’s just the two of us so far why not expand?

Hey, so we’ve been thinking about this for a while and we were wondering if anyone would be interested in a kind of . . . off brand guild. No special privileges or anything, sorry. But a guild we can all agree and work together and not be . . . part of the system.

I know we’ve all been there. Been burned by adults and other heroes. Seen what corporations can do to heroes. And I think here, we can start our own guild. Do what’s right because that’s what heroes do. Small or big, up to you.

So what do you say? Want to start the Protectors with us?

My only rules are you can’t have signed up with the guilds already. And if you’re underaged let me know and I can sign whatever notes you need to get out of school.

[ she glances at him. ]

You can do that?

I am 19, you know. Schools usually just want to cover their butts so as long as someone else says they’ll take responsibility it’s fine.

Old. Anyway, if you’re interested, maybe tell us a bit about yourself? Code name, powers, maybe what you’d like to get out of being in a guild like this. We all need to work together.

We can’t all kick back and relax like Fantastic.

[ it takes her a moment to realize he doesn't mean Mr. Fantastic. she's still not used to the heroes here. ]

they do seem pretty chilled out.

[ He can’t be the only one hitting up libraries to build profiles of all the major in-universe heroes. ]

I’m not used to heroes and vigilantes having an online presence.

We had one. It just made more sense. There are drawbacks, I know, but the risk is worth it.

[mostdangerousbird]

Is it? Even this anonymous feature seems like a liability to me. Is there something between trying to be a superhero influencer and an urban legend? With all the PR the Guardian Alliance does, I really can’t see how it helps anyone to add social media into the toolkit.

I mean.

You could become a creepypasta hero. I guess.

[mostdangerousbird]

Not exactly what I was going for, but intriguing idea really. 🧐

Think of the fear Slenderman would inspire in the hearts and minds of criminals.

[bestversion]

It could work.

[mostdangerousbird]

I’ll workshop it.

Good luck!
