If I were given the chance to rewrite it all, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

"Good afternoon, Heroes." The voice rings through her thoughts, threatening to pull her back into reality. "Your mission for today is to find and capture Lucas Huber. He is a NEXT with the ability to pass through physical objects and has just robbed several banks. Good luck, Heroes."

Agnes grimaces gently as she looks at the several different screens in front of her. Each one of them portrays views of Sternbild's favorite heroes. One camera in particular is focused on a new face; a young woman with strikingly blonde hair and a pink outfit to match. She's dressed in a white and pink jumpsuit with a matching domino mask.

"You're up, Miss Fortune." Agnes says, a small smile rising to her lips. "The criminal should be passing by you any minute. I'll get the cameras ready."

"Right." The woman gives a curt reply. From the screen, Agnes watches as the woman moves away from the alley she was in.

"Alright, let's move the cameras to our newest hero."

There's no turning back now, I guess.

"Barnaby and Wild Tiger are moving in on the suspect! Oh, but wait, what's this? It's Hero TV's newest hero; Miss Fortune!"

Miss Fortune steps out of the alley she was previously hiding in. She takes a deep breath and releases it quietly. Adjusting her pink mask, she murmurs softly, "Alright, Sophie, here we go." She watches as a man dressed in casual clothing rushes toward her. She stands, quietly, waiting for her cue. If she didn't time this correctly, she could lose any chance at gaining the spotlight for tonight.

Suddenly, she hears the loud voice of the announcer bounce off the buildings. She quickly puts on a smile and focuses on the criminal at hand. She lifts a single hand and says loudly, "Your thievery ends here!" The man smiles in response, but Miss Fortune mirrors that smile. Her body glows a soft blue and she cups her hands to her mouth.

A scream erupts from her lips, followed by visible sound waves rippling through the air. The waves move straight toward the criminal and shatter the nearby windows. There's a high pitched ringing that hits him almost immediately and within seconds, he is down on his knees clutching at his ears. A single sound wave reaches him shortly after and explodes; a loud, trembling scream tears through the air and shakes the earth for several seconds.

Miss Fortune dashes forward and slams the heel of her boot into the man's back. He drops to the ground on his face and lies still, moaning painfully. She quickly rests her foot on his back and turns toward the nearby cameras. She blows the center camera a kiss, winks, and waves to each and every camera.

"And there you have it, folks! Miss Fortune wins this round with a solid two hundred and forty points!"

Miss Fortune glances over at two of her soon-to-be co-workers; Wild Tiger and Barnaby Brooks Jr. Both of them are standing off to the side, their arms crossed, and their eyes on her. She waves at them softly and quickly returns her eyes to the cameras.

She knew exactly what the two of them were thinking; the newbie had just stolen their points for the sake of publicity.

"Geez," she mumbled gently. This was definitely not how she pictured her grand appearance on Hero TV.
