“Hey, now that we finished saving the world, do you want to go on a da-”
*Narrows eyes* “Don’t even think about it.”
“Yeah okay, you’re right. I don’t even know why I-like, we’ve had zero buildup throughout the story. Hooking up at the last second would just be weird and make no sense.”
“Shut the window, you’re letting all the air out.”
“You just found out that I’m Hero, and that’s all you have to say about this?”
Beat. “Eh. Don’t forget to lock it. I don’t want my things to get stolen.”
“That’s it?”
“Kid, I don’t care what you do outside my house, as long as it doesn’t make the social worker take you and my respective stipend check away.”
“Oh, okay.”
“And for the record, I always knew you were Hero.”
“I should’ve never led you on for so long, but I did, and I’m sorry I hurt you that way.” Her eyes then hardened to steel. “But I’d do it all over again if it means keeping this city safe from you.”
“Of course. In the grand scheme of things, the lives of innocent civilians are worth more than one villain’s broken heart.”
“Now you’re getting it.”
“How cruelly pragmatic.” He sneered as the first tears ran down his cheeks. “You would’ve made a better villain than I ever was.”
“I never meant to hurt you. Not like this. It was stupid of me to think that you would ever give up. I realize now that it’s because you can’t. You truly believe in doing the right thing. I used to hate you for that, you know? You were always getting in my way, until the day I snapped and went too far-”
*sigh*
“I don’t know if you can hear me, but if you can, I just want to say that I’m sorry. And…and I love you. Please wake up.”
“I thought being healed faster would make me feel better, not worse.”
“I told you, it doesn’t work like that. There’s a reason it takes so long for humans to recover from sickness or injuries - it takes up a lot of energy. You feel that way because your body had to rapidly cannibalize your muscle mass and burn through your fat reserves.”
“Wait, you mean-no! My abs are gone!”
“Small price to pay for being alive. Next time, try to avoid getting mortally wounded.”
“No promises.”
“I’m serious. I was forced to accelerate your healing factor in order to save your life. But right now, if you got hurt again and I tried to heal you, your body would consume itself to dust.”
“You…you sound like you’re saying that from experience.”
“…just be more careful out there. Please.”
“You can’t adopt me! I already have parents.”
“Oh, well if that was the only thing bothering you, I can fix that.”
“What?”
“Preferably, if you give me your parents’ identities, I can get rid of them right now. Otherwise, I’d have to systematically get rid of all this city’s parents with kids who are roughly your age, gender, and ethnicity. It’d take me a while, but it’ll be worth it to have you as my kid.”
