"Would ya mind getting out of here?"

"One more second! I'm almost finished with this last page."

Metal Bat tightened his hold on the weapon that earned him his hero name to stop him from bashing this woman's head into mush.

He could have defeated this monster easily and in fact he was going to, until that stupid journalist (or something along the lines of journalist) stepped in the scene and began filling pages of a small note book.

He thought she was lost or confused, after all most civilians didn't know what to do in the presence of a monster, but she merely told him "Carry on" and sat on a nearby bench, oblivious to the weak tiger level monster he was about to battle.

Didn't she understand she was putting herself in danger? He previously tried carrying her a few blocks away and returning to the fight, but she stubbornly returned and carried on scribbling in the rapidly filling notebook.

He now was tasked with protecting her from the various slime balls the slug monster spat, and it was certainly getting on his nerves. He couldn't get close to the slug or he would risk the journalist's life and as annoying as she was, he opted to wait until she was finished rather than end her life.

"Alrighty! One question and I'm done! Do you enjoy fighting monsters?"

Metal Bat perked up at the thought of her being done and answered passionately with, "Hell no!"

He faintly heard vicious scribbling and then a click of a pen, before she gave him a pat on the shoulder, hence another tightened grip on the bat, and ran off to safety behind him.

With an ecstatic yell of "Finally!" he leaped forward to end the disgusting monster's life.

Vera hummed happily as she leaned back in her dingy office chair. On cue, it tipped over and she was sent flying into the ground. And for the 20th time that night, she sat in the chair again and forgot how it was never wise to lean back in a 10 year old worn chair that even a fly could tip over. But it had been her father's, and no matter how horrible it was she couldn't bring herself to discard it, despite the fact it was not even a sentimental object as her father was still alive.

But nonetheless, she was done on her article containing most of Metal Bat's known fights, including his most recent. Though as a result it was now early in the morning and the dark bags under her eyes were quite conspicuous.

With a few more clicks and subtle movements of her mouse, she had sent the article via email to her boss. A smile that had appeared moments earlier grew bigger at the thought of well deserved sleep.

After running a hand through her black hair and feeling the oil, Vera decided it was best if she showered before her well deserved nap.

But alas, life had other plans for her as her "a potential story is waiting" senses tingled and she switched on her TV, switching the channel to her local news station.

And indeed, a story was waiting for her. With pure glee in her green eyes, Vera quickly ran back to her chair and hopped back on the old thing, making the number of times she tipped onto the ground that day rise to 21.

"Sea King Defeated by Fraud!"

To say Vera was disappointed was an understatement.

She had went on an information hunt online attempting to find out more about this supposed fraud who had defeated the Sea King in one punch, but either her searching skills were lacking or it was just too soon for any valuable information to have found its way on the web. Vera, for the sake of her self esteem, decided it was a bit of both.

The only information she had gotten about this fraud was that he was bald.

And so, with a sigh, she looked down at her new black notebook that only contained the word bald written in angry letters.

But if he was a hero, how many bald heroes could there be?

With a new mission, she viciously typed 'bald heroes' and narrowed it down to; Superallow Darkshine, Heavy Kong, Caped Baldy, and a few other superheroes that held a possibility of being bald but their heads were hidden.

Vera doubted it was Superallow Darkshine. Because of his high rank and very noticeable features, she was sure someone would recognize him. She crossed out his name.

Heavy Kong was the defender of W-City and an A-Class hero, so she also doubted it was him. Another name was crossed out.

The only remaining name was one she had never seen before. But he was a low level hero, C-Class to be exact so Vera wasn't surprised.

He was bald and relatively unknown. Perfect! Though it wasn't solid, it was the only lead she had.

Vera grinned proudly to herself and leaned back in relaxation.

She was met with the floor, earning a startled shriek.
