Synopsis for "Interviews"

Derek consulted Ernie on intervening in a fight as Sideways between Replicant and Hot Spot that was being broadcast and the blonde insisted on researching the former of the two combatants. However, Sideways disregarded this and walked through a rift. By 1:15 P.M., Derek was late for meeting his mother at Dark Star Sciences, while Leto Dominus was waiting. Derek was supposed to meet Leto Dominus with his mother for an internship and his absence annoyed the former of the two women, as he was several hundred miles away in Metropolis.

Replicant was defeating Hot Spot before Sideways saved the latter by using a rift on the former. Sideways and Hot Spot briefly introduced themselves to each other before Replicant returned and attempted to learn the former of the two heroes' powers. Sideways learned that Derek could copy powers, as Leto Dominus pointed out that he was half an hour late for their interview. After his mother vouched for him, her boss allowed the interview to be rescheduled.

Replicant, who duplicated Sideways' powers, attempted to learn how to use them. The former attempted to use Hot Spot's fire powers on the two heroes, but Sideways created a rift that redirected them, hurting him. Replicant touched his body while rifting, causing himself to explode and die. Derek returned to his house and learned that his mother had set up an interview for him before checking her texts. When Derek opened the door of his room, he found Tempus Fuginaut waiting and he offered to train him, as the dimensional lines were breaking.

As Derek's mother left Leto Dominus' office, she walked past Professor Portefoy, who expressed his dislike towards her before revealing that he found no traces of residual energy or effect after the former of the two women was exposed to dark matter and after the latter instructed him to run the scans she sent. Portefoy tracked Sideways' every appearance and Leto Dominus ordered the hero to be found at all costs.
