The last test

I arrive the last door, the attendants by it press the button by the door, causing it to open immediately. Inside, was an ivory room with two matching pearly chairs separated by a white table.

"Go inside and pick a seat to sit at," the attendant said.

I took a step in, the room was a similar size to the combat test room, but different from that, there was nothing to hide behind.

"Damn this room is big," Ahe said as I kept on walking, "They really got some money to spend huh? I wonder whose body I gotta jack to get some of that dough."

I snicked at Ahe's comment, I doubt that he'll be able to get away with stealing the government's money, but the sentiment itself was funny enough. It felt like 10 minutes as I reached the chairs, but I know it was a lot less.

I picked the chair on the right as I sat down, not long after that the door swung open again, and in came a figure enveloped in shiny black latex. His suit clung to him like a second skin, covering him from head to toe. The fabric stretched over his sculpted form, each muscle defined, and an unmistakable bulge making a statement in the front. As the blinding whiteness of the room reflected off of his body, it formed odd stripes of white and black at the places where creases and bumps formed.

Ahe murmured into my ear, "Well, isn't he packaged like a midnight gift? One could ride that bulge till dawn. A latex-bound hero, who knew."

"I am The Gimp, and I will be conducting your last test," the man said as he sat down, his mouth exposed, and his covered eyes stared at me with an intensity that was palpable. His voice was deep and serious as he spoke, "Tell me, what drives you to become a hero?"

“I want to help people,” I responded earnestly, an easy question to answer.

The Gimp’s unwavering voice continued, "If faced with a situation where your life was in jeopardy, would you choose to save yourself or save others?”

“I’d save others, even if it meant risking my life,” I affirmed, remembering all of the superheros I've adored since I was a child.

Ahe snickered, “Oh, such a selfless lover we’d make! No cherry left unpopped in our noble quest!”

The Gimp continued, “Have you ever harbored any ill will towards society or considered using your powers for personal gain?”

“No, never. My purpose is to protect and serve,” Ahe's power will help my personal gain a lot better, I'll use my powers for crime fighting.

The Gimp's last question was firm, "Will you pledge your allegiance to the code of heroes and vow to bring no harm to innocents?”

“I pledge my allegiance and vow to protect the innocent,” I declared.

Ahe erupted into raucous laughter, “By the power vested in that glorious bulge, we shall prevail!”

The Gimp nodded solemnly, and without another word, stood up and left the room.

As I sat there, Ahe’s laughter still ringing in my ears, I couldn’t help but wonder if this strange encounter brought me any closer to my dream of becoming a hero.

Gimp finally stood up, his latex suit squeaking as he did. His bulge, as mighty as ever, seemed to salute my honesty.

“You’ve passed this test. ” he declared as he handed me a sealed yellow envelope, "Please take this folder to a front desk assistant, and they will help you from there."

I take the packet from his shiny black hands, then start making my way out of this room.
