Who gave me superpowers?!

[The camera flips from Nightwing's masked face around to a doorway. The door is lying on the ground, ripped clean off its hinges because Nightwing was in a hurry.

It's his first Sanguis...]

I'm not Superman! I don't want to be Superman! No offense to the big guy, but I've been working my whole life to perfect my acrobatics, my detective work, my martial arts, and now-- all of that-- is just going to waste?

[He is not Superman, but he's starting to feel like Superboy circa five years ago.]

Whatever. Now I have to figure out the exact extent of this stupid, stupid development so I don't accidentally kill somebody.

Who's got some heavier-duty doors I can rip off? This one is a good standard control. Actually, I have no idea what the control for this experiment would look like, just that I want to be gathering a lot of data.

[In other words, who wants a fight?]

People who have no powers are allowed to apply and take the entrance exam, though they are at a disadvantage in the combat exam portion. Rather than fighting other people, we had to fight giant robots. The examiners would award points both for defeating the robots and rescuing other people from the robots, so there would be a chance, but...

[Well. Like he said, it's a disadvantage.]

My school has four divisions. The hero program, the support program for people who make items for pro heroes, the business program for people who intend to work behind the scenes to help with managing finances for heroes, and the general studies program. We have a sports festival that's televised nationally, although we're the only school in the country that does it. People in the other three programs have a chance of being able to transfer into the hero program if they perform well in the sports festival.

Would an EMP emitter be considered cheating? That's how I handled that a few years ago.

[Ignoring the fact that his superpowered BFF told him how to build it-- it wasn't his powers that gave him that knowledge. In fact, it was his knowledge (and recklessness) that gave him powers.]

It is actually really, really embarrassing how much I want to get my non-powered friends together to take that test.

And forget what I said earlier-- not being a superhero because you failed a sports festival is the real villain origin story.
