With a Little Help From My Friends
Alex wasn't one to sweat the little things. He considered himself a pretty laid back guy, but lately he had been fretting over something. He didn't tell anyone of course. Alex had a hard time opening up to people in general and this was something really embarrassing. There was a solution of course, he just didn't know what do to or how to even get started.

Which meant he had to ask for help.

There was only one person he could go to. He went searching for Jordan.

Jordan is pretty easy to find. He's currently in the Temple, playing the Super Buddies video game - in his Captain Canada t-shirt, for good measure. Its not out yet, but he got a free promo copy for helping shoot a commercial for it - after getting to know the developers a little when the Canadiens wanted to use C.C. for a couple big screen animations during games.

"Oh, hey Alex."

	"Hey," he said and fell onto the couch. He automatically picked up the other controller and pressed a button to join the game. "I need your help with something if you got a few minutes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jordan continues playing without missing a beat. "Mason's in here - pretty playable too." he offers as Alex joins in. "But sure, I have all kinds of time. What can I help with?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I went to school, but I never finished sixth grade and I was wondering if you would help me get started on getting my GED." Not that Alex really cared about it for himself, he wanted to be someone Mel deserved. She didn't deserve a primary school dropout. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jordan glances at Alex, ending up getting hit a couple times on the game. He pauses it, then looks over again. "Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. Sure. Shouldn't be too hard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cool. Thanks. I just don't want to be someone who would embarrass Mel." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Why would you embarrass Mel? If you're going to get your GED, do it for the right reasons. She knows where you come from, what your circumstances are. She knows how smart you are, what you like to talk about, the things you do together... not a piece of paper that says you know how to dot your i's and cross your t's. Its a good thing to have... but Mel wouldn't think any less of you without it."

	"I know she knows where I come from and what the circumstances were, but if we're out somewhere with others I don't want to look like an idiot and embarrass her or Alpha Flight. It's something I should have anyway. Can't be doing this hero thing for the rest of my life either." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You haven't embarrassed anyone yet. I'll get the process started, and put a hush on it so we don't get any kind of stupid media attention on it. If you need help with anything, let me know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jordan laughs. Then he laughs some more.

"Mason /hates/ this show. Which is why I keep loading it on his computer and put it up to go whenever the TV is turned on in the temple. Yeah, the game is awesome though - ever since the Captain Canada episode, I've been working with the producers to let them do some promos with NHL teams, toys, things like that using Captain Canada."
