Try-$quad

I was thinking of my life would have been if I did not choose this path. But this is not the time for the what ifs, this is the time I tell you of how the squad formed.

I don't remember where I was before this but I know there were four others in this place: a female, two males, and one I wasn't sure about. I swear there were two more beings with us but I could not know for sure. Each one looking weird. There was a man with twenty-four watches and a clock necklace. He was wearing a shirt, pants with more pockets than needed, mask, socks, and shoes. There was the other man wearing a ship captain's hat, mask, spandex with letters C and O near the chest region, white gloves, and boots. The female was in what looked like a lavender librarian attire, she was holding a pen and book titled 'How to look like a librarian while wearing armor'. The last one was wearing a modified hazmat suit that was white with a radioactive symbol in the chest area, yellow gloves and boots with blue stripes. He was in handcuffs.

Then a really old dude came up to us and the one with twenty-four watches said "Hello Grandfather Time."

"I need a good team to save the world but with problems on my end I got stuck with you guys so now you must go save the world. Let me introduce myself, I'm Father Time. I have stopped time so you five can train." father time said.

"Why do you have to stop time? What is going on? Irony is this your doing? It is not your doing, well sorry Irony." The person in the hazmat suit asked in a muffled voice.

"Is it not obvious? Because of him, we are a team now, but he was hoping for the best team and with problems on his end, he got us and now we must save the world from trouble." the guy with the spandex said.

"Well, no duh, Captain Obvious! Most of us figured that much out. What we need to know is why?" the Librarian asked.

"How do you know my superhero name?" Captain Obvious asked.

"Wait a minute your superhero name is Captain Obvious? Ha! That is rich. Introductions are needed. I am Minuteman. I must do things in a minute, no more, no less, and by the time this sentence ends it will be a minute." Minuteman said.

"I do not remember my true name so call me Try-El. I have brought a transforming shotgun that will always have one in the chamber." I said.

"You obviously know my superhero name. I could tell you my powers that I must state the obvious most of the time and become the obvious." Captain Obvious said.

"Germ-O-Man can shrink to the size of a germ, I am germophobic and... What is it Irony? You want me to tell them that I'm crazy that I should be in the loonie bin. and other things? By the way, can you take these cuffs off?" Germ-O-Man asked with a muffled voice.

"Lavender Librarian can do anything I want as long as it Lavender colored." Lavender Librarian said.

"Settle down people, and train quickly for the movement of time slowly start." Father Time said.

Lavender Librarian wanted to fight me and I was happy to say yes so I changed my Transforming Shotgun ammunition from lethal to nonlethal. She and I got into our fighting stance I heard a click and saw her Librarian attire was now Librarian armor her pen turned into a sword and her book turned into a shield. My shotgun turned into a shotgun-gunsword. Our swords traded blows. We were evenly matched until she temporarily colored my clothes to Lavender and lifted me up and threw me into a giant hourglass, cracking the glass. Father time said, "Stop! You are about to break the Time Stream Hourglass(T.S.H.) luckily it cracked but did not shatter. If that happens history could change as I known it..." Father time said. *Crack* *Crack* *Shattered.* "What have you done? Who knows what will happen next, last, or now! Ugh! This is why I wanted the best team in any known universes, but I got you five. With the power of doing everything in a minute, sorry grandson, a librarian doing anything she can think of as long as it was Lavender colored, a superhero wannabe stateing and becoming the obvious, a person that can shrink to a size of germ but is germophobic, an angel with one wing and a transforming shotgun that has unlimited ammo as long as it has one in there, have I missed anything else? Captain Obvious don't talk." father time asked.

"Shutting up." Captain Obvious said as his mouth turned into a zipper.

Space-time ripped apart as Grandfather Time was ranting about the incompetence of the squad. The past was left untouched, but the present and future were messed up. Reality had changed for the worse with the time stopped at 4:59, the most annoying time imaginable. Nobody is awake at 4:59 am and time at 4:59 pm slows down as everyone waits for the work day to be over. Every person had a small rain cloud that followed them around, perpetually raining. Hyper-dumb aliens had accidentally found earth and integrated into the workforce. Each one was the most annoying co-worker possible. The aliens were only good at one thing, spoiling endings (movies, TV shows, video games, books, etc.) The aliens forced their way into every business, including the Try-$quad. Spoilers the Alien became the newest member of the Try-Squad. There would be more troubles, that would happen later on.

"Now I also have a hyper-dumb alien which is only good at spoiling endings. Tell me Spoilers how does this end?" father time asked.

"Your Squad which will be called Try-$quad will save this world but not today." Spoilers the alien said.

*Zipped*

"All we have to do is fix the present, and the future will be better, hopefully. Is that right?" Captain Obvious asked.

"Actually, all you have to do, is fix the time-stream hourglass, and the problems will solve itself. Which will be fixed at the end of this part." Spoilers the Alien said as I (Try-El) thought 'This alien might be worse than Captain Obvious.'

"We are wasting time if there was any left, Spoilers you stay here with me while the others go, and fix the problem." Father Time said to us, as he waved his arm to teleport us, to the closest place, near the source of the problem.

We landed in the alien spaceship, I was teleported inside the cages while the others were outside. Minuteman said he could pick the lock in a minute, but sirens came on, alerting the aliens, and I said, "We don't have a minute! Lavender Librarian, can you make a key?" I asked.

"If you don't mind it being a lavender color, then yes I can do it...come on...work got it." Lavender Librarian said as she unlocked the cage, letting me out. The aliens tried to ambush us, but Captain Obvious distracted them with the 'look over there!' trick.

By dumb luck, we were trapped. But not even 5 minutes later, the aliens and the ship started fading in and out, I guess that the time stream hourglass, was fixed. Lavender Librarian said, "We don't have a minute to get out of here, and I ran out of lavender ideas, Captain Obvious teleport us to Father Time."

"On it." Captain Obvious said as he teleported with the team, back to Father Time. When we got there, Spoilers the Alien was still there, but the giant hourglass was fixed.

"Well done...for your first time, not. Spoilers told me that this would not be the end, but the rest can be said better with Spoilers." Father Time said.

"Wait, you 2 fixed the time stream, and the rest of the aliens vanished. But why are you here? Shouldn't you have disappeared with the rest?" Captain Obvious asked Spoilers.

"I thank you Try-$quad. Without your help, I would've been forever dumb, and the reason why I didn't disappear, is because this place, protects people from different time streams, or, in this case, an alien which means I can never leave this place, without reverting to my dumb self. So I will help you in any way I can, but it must be here. For example, Germ-O-Man your Mr. E. (microscopic radioactive energy), is still in the prototype phase. I can fix it and worry not about your secret. I made a hidden room for you. For Lavender Librarian, I can modify your Librarian attire armor, sharpen the sword and polish the shield. And so much more, also, I'm a princess, soon to be the queen of the planet Pluto." Spoilers the Alien said in a royal voice.

"You know that pluto is not a planet anymore right?" Captain Obvious asked.

"Curse you Earthlings scientists." Spoilers the Alien said.
