Elite Comic Universe PBP

Arturo was putting up new decorations and advertisements for new seasonal menu items.

Bea was working this shift also.

"The pumpkin veggie smoothie was such a hit over the fall! But this new green cranberry smoothie looks delicious."

She decided to buy one to sample it, so she could talk it up.

"I can't believe the competition and filming is almost over. What do you think will happen at the end?"

"Good work, getting those decorations up," Chadwick said. "I can't believe our time is almost done here. Corporate said you guys finish filming soon, right?"

"Yeah, we were just talking about that." he nodded. "I'm not sure what they'll make of all the footage. They'll be looking for stories to tell about each of us."

"Whatever happens, the students will continue here. But I'm not sure ... people like me that aren't enrolled. But maybe I should figure out a ... back up plan."

"You're an elite, you'll make money, you're cool," he said confidently.

"Maybe I could get a job at UNJE. Or here in the community. I have made some nice friends here."

And there was a new matter she was interested in investigating. At UNJE.

"Well if you really need a job, I am sure I can get you hired here, as the Assistant Manager," he said.

"Oh that's so kind of you, Chadwick. Truthfully, I can't work long-term for a place that sells caffeine. But it's been wonderful experience, and I think your veggie smoothies are splendid."

"The show will likely open doors to new opportunities for all of us." Arturo said. "What would you like to do?"

"If I could do anything - other than helping a team like the Justice Elite - I'd say something like ... a role with my church or a role working with animals."

"Well, we've brought a lot of attention to the shelter." He said. "They may need more help going forward."

She nodded.

"I'm so glad you've been helping there, too. There's been lots more foot traffic and adoptions with the added publicity."

"I think there's a two-year degree out there to become a shelter manager. Maybe that's something to think about!"

"I've found I like animals more than some people." He said. "They certainly deserve to be cared for and loved."

She smiled.

"I like being near animals, too. And they need someone to be their voice. Most people can't talk to them. And yes, to care and love for them."

"How about you? What might you want to do, if not be part of a UNJE team - though I hope you make the team."

"I want to help others." He answered. "That's the simplest way to put it. I can communicate with all living things. That has just reinforced how precious life can be. I want to protect it, preserve it. If I can't do that as a hero, I'll find another way."

"Well I got jobs for either of you, if you need it, or a glowing recommendation from the Assistant Manager and current Employee of the Month," he said kindly.

She smiled at them both.

"You are both just shining with kindness. That's all we can ever hope to be, day by day."

"True." he agreed. "Do right by others and hope they do the same."
