Prompt #260

Civilian looks down in horror. The body of Hero lies broken against a pile of rubble in the aftermath of a battle against Supervillian.

How will the city survive without their protector and figure of hope?

Clenching their jaw, Civilian gently brings the fallen Hero to a more private, dignified place. It wouldn’t do for the rest of the public to come upon this scene and lose hope.

With Hero properly laid to rest, Civilian looks down at the torn cape cradled in their hands. The city needed a new protector.
