The story is based on the song Hero from Mariah Carey. I don't own both the song and The Secret Show.

TSS - Hero
There's a hero,
If you look inside your heart,
You don't have to be afraid of what you are,
There's an answer,
If you reach into your soul,
And the sorrow that you know will melt away.
Victor looked around him. He sat on a hill, just out town. It was too much. Every day, he had to fight against crime. But it was too much right now. He had to admit that it was nice to work with everybody of U.Z.Z., but he couldn't take it anymore. It looked like it was taking over his life. Everything he did had something to do with U.Z.Z. or it's villains. But it was too much right now.
It's a long road,
When you face the world alone,
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold,
You can find love,
If you search within yourself,
And the emptiness you felt will disappear.
There was nothing wrong with working together with Anita. In fact, he just loved his work because of her. If she asked him to go back, he would go back. But Anita wasn't here and she wasn't looking for him, he knew that. Sometimes, he wanted that the things were like before he joined U.Z.Z. Nobody complaining about the things going wrong because of him.
Lord knows,
Dreams are hard to follow,
But don't let anyone tear them away,
Hold on,
There will be tomorrow,
In time you'll find the way.
"I knew I could find you here." Suddenly sounded and Victor turned around. He didn't expect her here. "It was just a guess you would here." Anita said when she sat down next to Victor. "But what's going on?"
Victor looked to Anita. "I don't know if I can take it anymore." he said. "I mean…"
"Victor, it's not because of me, is it?" Anita asked. "If it's me, then I'm really sorry."
"No, no, no, of course it's not because of you." Victor said and he gave Anita a little smile. "It's because of me."
"But," Anita smiled. "There is something you must know."
"What?"
"Without you, I would be lost." Anita said. "You save me so many times, that I lost the count."
"That's not true, you're always the one who…"
"You saved me because you were always there for me to hold me back on the stupid things I would do. Maybe, you don't know it, but there is a hero inside your heart."
"Really?" Victor asked and Anita nodded.
And then a hero comes along,
With the strength to carry on,
And you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive,
So when you feel like hope is gone,
Look inside you and be strong,
And you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you.
"Well, come on." she said when she stood up. "The world isn't going to save itself from the impostors."
Victor smiled when he stood up. "You're right." he said. He looked to Anita. "Thanks, I guess I needed that."
"No problem."
