the Legion could also be Dorfs... hidden, perhaps, even from
themselves..."

"And we now know that the Dorfs were involved in the LNH's first
mission," Masterplan Lad said. "And that something terrible happened...
so terrible that the Legion still considers the Dorfs to be one of its
greatest adversaries."

"Fine," said Master Blaster, folding his arms. "But I still don't
see why we have to go digging through Toony Stork's mental shoebox.
Couldn't we just ask somebody else who was along for the ride?"

"You could ask Pocket Man. Or Rebel Yell," Namer Boy said.
"Assuming you could find them, of course."

"Sounds like a job for List Lad," Ubiquitous Boy Lad, Jr. suggested.

Irony Man snorted. "A job for List Lad? That's something that's
never been said in the entire recorded history of the LNH."

"Oh, I don't know," said Painful Pun Person, entering the cafeteria
with a coffee cup in her hand. (First appearance! Collect them all!)
"I've been feeling a little listless myself, lately."

"Besides, Irony Man, how would you know?" Cynical Lass asked. "Your
memory is in the basement."

"Well, there you go," said Master Blaster, pausing briefly to leer
at Painful Pun Person. "We'll just ask List Lad about this when he
arrives for the anniversary party tonight."

"List Lad won't be here tonight," Pulls-Paper-Out-Of-Hats Lad said.

"Really?" Irony Man asked. "Is there a list-related emergency going
on somewhere that none of us knows about?"

"I have his letter right here," said Pulls-Paper-Out-of-Hats Lad,
who, not surprisingly, removed the letter in question from his hat.

"Top Five Reasons Why I Will Not Be Attending The LNH's 20th
Anniversary Party, Even Though Catalyst Lass Is a Smoking-Hot Babe," Pulls-Paper-Out-of-Hats Lad read. "Number 5: All tuxedos in town have
been rented in anticipation of RACCies ceremony that was supposed to
happen in March."

"Oh, good," Poignant Death Lass said. "I was afraid we had missed
that. Being dead and all."

"Number 4: Afraid I'll be seated with some subgroup that has an humiliating name."

"You mean, like, 'The Incredibly Strange Former Super-Heroes Who
Stopped Working And Became Deadbeats?'" Horrible Name Lad suggested.

"Number 3: Can't find a date, because Pullls-Paper-Out-Of-Hats-Lad
and wReamhack found a way to hack the Match.com and eHarmony Web sites. Whoops," said Pulls-Paper-Out-of-Hats Lad, turning crimson.

"I knew that story about groupies was too good to be true," Namer
Lad muttered.

"Number 2: Afraid I might have a bad reaction to something I ate at
the reception."

"You can say that again," muttered You're-Not-Hitting-Me-Hard-Enough
Lad, who had managed to sit up at last.

"And the number one reason List Lad won't be attending tonight's
party," Pulls-Paper-Out-of-Hats Lad continued. "Because of what Toony
Stork did to me and the woman we both loved during the LNH's very first mission."
