1-3 (CR-SO1) So much for heroes

"... Great."

"Is there a problem, young master?"

I looked up at the seemingly fragile butler who hadn't aged a day since I last saw him.

"Huh? Oh no, it's nothing. Just gathering my thoughts is all."

"I see. Well if there's any way I can be of service.."

I quietly nodded and swung my legs back and forth from the bed, almost like an impatient child. An air of silence surrounded us, and these are times when I wish my bars were still up so I'd have some sort of barrier from this embarrassment. I've been put through way worse since Holden let me stay here of course but, part of me always hated silence and being forced to find ways to pass time since I was never too good at it.

I let my head hang low and could finally reach a calming state; remembering my old family always helped with that. I thought back to how Rose and I would play out in the fields and she'd force me to pick out flowers for her room, and how the professor would get mad at us for tracking mud into the house and on the new flooring. Or how the professor would start experimenting with different chemicals and I would look over his shoulder from a tall stool and observe quietly... I felt myself crack a small smile and heard a small gasp like squeak from behind as I raised my head back up.

"You've practiced with that haven't you? It's gotten better." Tomoe smiled sweetly from behind her butler. Again from out of nowhere, always finding some way to startle me.

"Tomoe... You're back already?"

"Mhmm. Suprised?"

"I mean, I know you've gotten more skilled but this is-"

"This one was nothing big. It wasn't too special after all, though I heard yours wasn't the case."

"Yea... Oh that reminds me! Has Dr. Cunningham gotten the results back yet?"

"Not quite. He's taking his time as usual. I just checked up on him and he told me what happened."

"I suspected as much. Anyway uh... Thank you, but I should probably get going now." I scratched the back of my head and got up slowly, adjusting my ID tag.

"I understand, I'll walk you out." I waited for a moment and nodded so she knew I would oblige, and curtly followed the endoscopic surgeon outside and towards the conference room. We didn't make it too far down the main hall before there was a sudden shake and a crash. Chunks of wall and dust flew out just in front of us, I raised my arm over to cover my face and stepped back.

"What the hell was THAT?!"

"Maria?" Tomoe called out from the smoke covered walkway.

I took a few steps forward just into the eye of it, though it still didn't start to clear yet. I felt a form crunch underneath my feet and scanned the broken shards of what seemed like dark black glass that had scattered across the floor. It wasn't until I had lifted my foot up that I realized how they were familiar.

"These are her goggles...?" I bent down and carefully picked them up, avoiding the sharp shards and dusted them off.

"Hey! You're gonna pay for this, get back here!"

"Huh? I- I didn't mean to, it was an accident I swear!"

"What are you going on about now moron?" I knew it was Maria's voice, but I couldn't see anything but a shadow that angrily stomped closer towards me. "...! You. You asshole, why'd you break those?!" Following that was a quick, stinging slap to the face that almost made me fall back.

"Take it easy Maria!"

"Yea, I'm sorry..."

"Sorry don't cut it! Now you better get- huh?" Another crash coming from the entrance had thankfully interrupted us- and triggered the security alarms. "That.. Damn idiot!"

The rest of the staff barreled through us and ran straight to the exit. I looked to Tomoe and nodded, figuring we should follow and see what all of this was about. Once we had reached the light from outside and made it to the front of the crowd; we were welcomed with a completely busted and shattered door, and a tall man wearing some kind of blue... Bird like suit, and

he was panting like a mad man.

"... Huff.. Fear not citizens! The ambassador of love and justice, Captain eagle, has got this situation under control!"

"Ah of course big guy. We'll leave it to you." Dr. Cunningham stepped forward and smirked haughtily with his cigarette to the side.

"Er- um. Who is this 'big guy' you're referring to? The name's CAPTAIN EA-"

"Yea yea... You can drop the act buddy, we all know it's you."

"Someone's no fun... Captain Eagle-" I could almost hear him mutter to himself, like he had become slightly agitated by Gabe's smart remarks.

"And the green flurry!"

"Away!"

The masked blue 'eagle' and his green- hooded assistant had 'flown' away and quickly left the scene, with no tracks except all the newfound exterior damage to the hospital...

"Eyyyy HANK!-"

"Don't worry, I'll pay for it lateeeeerrrrrr!"

"Great. Just great. So that's all we hear from the blundering captain... C'mon everyone, let's go back inside and clean some of the mess up."

I looked to Tomoe with a puzzled look on my face. "Hank? Was I really the only one who didn't know...?"

She nodded and followed everyone else back.

Great. So now Gabe's pissed... Who next?

A/N: That is indeed the question here isn't it..? Hmmmm. Oh and *bus flashbacks* yea there's not gonna be any of that happening here. For now...~ no but seriously, I'm kind of making this up as I go along as usual so I'd think it's turning out pretty good- and if there's small mistakes I didn't catch, I'm writing this up on my phone and Autocorrect.. Yea so if there's anything you guys wanna say or have questions about, reviews would be appreciated. Thanks :3
