It was a dark and stormy night, the perfect weather for a battle but definitely not the perfect weather to leave a child alone at home. Which was why she was headed to him right now because, in a few minutes, she would be expected to fight alongside her fellow Pro Heroes against the League of Villains. Small fights had broken out everywhere in the city, and it came to a point where the League of Villains challenged the Pro Heroes in order to settle these disputes once and for all—as in, all-out war. She knew the city had a chance it might be wrecked, but the child had to stay safe no matter what.

She knocked on the front door, metal cold to the touch. After a few seconds, the door opened, revealing a petite girl. The girl's eyes misted over, then cleared as she seemed to remember who the visitor standing at the door was. Quickly bustling her inside, the girl told her to wait while she ran to get someone. The girl returned, this time accompanied by a man. The man looked at his guest.

"What do you want?" he asked.

The woman's eyes narrowed the slightest. "You know what I'm about to ask."

He sighed. "If that's all you came here for, then my answer is no. I can't take the child in. I already have a few interns that I have to watch. A child will just make things more troublesome."

"Do you know what you're saying? What you're doing?" the woman said harshly.

The girl who had been watching from side tugged on the man's sleeve.

"Maybe you should take the child in. It wouldn't hurt and I could look after her."

But the man pushed the girl away. "I'll say it again: my answer is no. I do not have the time to dedicate myself to the child."

The woman knew there was no merit in continuing to persuade him so she turned.

But before she left, she told him, "The child will grow up and never know who you are, but if she learned who you are and what you have done on this day, she might forever hate you."

Her words echoed in his ears, but if he was affected by them, he didn't show it.

The woman clenched her fists as she made her way back. If he wouldn't take the child in, then no one else could. She had to make sure she made it back alive.


The battlefield was the city itself, and the villains showed no mercy charging at heroes with the intent to kill. Luckily there had been no casualties, yet. She looked around and for the first time actually took in what was going on.

The fight had escalated to a point where all the heroes that were available had to be deployed on the frontline. She was a hero that supported the offensive heroes, not the other way around and yet she had somehow found herself as their enemies' target.

"GET HER! GET HER!"

"KILL THAT WOMAN! SHE MUST NOT LEAVE HERE ALIVE!"

Although she did not have a strong offense, she was nimble and avoided many villains, but just barely. The cries of those who were out to kill her and those of her allies in need spurred her onwards.

It wasn't until she heard a strangled cry that she snapped out of her trance. She turned her head in the direction that it had come from and immediately teleported to her fallen ally. He was alive but needed medical attention. The city streets were no longer a safe place so she needed to get him somewhere sheltered. She spotted a nearby building that was abandoned and was about to teleport to there when suddenly she was knocked back.

Her back collided with upturned concrete and her vision when white. She tried to stand, but her head was spinning. There was a sharp pain in multiple areas of her body which signaled to her that there were multiple broken bones. A villain suddenly pinned her against whatever was behind her. Their grip was crushing her throat and blocking her air passage, causing her vision to flicker. Her captor growled into her ear, the low and raspy voice telling her it was a man, but she couldn't comprehend what he was saying.

Then, he held up what looked like a red cube. She heard a faint ticking sound and her brain knew it was a bomb. At the last second, he whispered one more thing into her ear then vanished, leaving her to be swallowed up by the bomb. She made no effort to escape as the bomb detonated, but the man's voice still echoed loud and clear in her head.

He had said a name.

A Pro Hero name.
