Superpowers abound. Villains rule the world. A transmigrated dork that has absolutely no idea what’s going on. 

Strong-armed by the Superhero Enhancement System into the thankless job of endlessly performing good deeds in a world where such actions are often met with violence, Lucas Lynn doesn't have much choice in regards to using his supposed gifts.

It’s bad enough having to pretend to be a supervillain, but how exactly does Boss System expect him to save the world with only the help of a homeless orphan, a dog that’s smarter than he is, and a yoyo? 

Oh, just trick some supervillains into becoming superheroes instead? You make it sound so easy!

With this final thought, Lucas dies in a pool of his own blood on the sidewalk.

After a few more moments of this high-speed information exchange, the bot turns back around to return to the kiosk, while 23 proceeds to rejoin the group on their way to the employee-only elevator. 


[Remember, Jonathan covertly informed you that he saw Mikah notice all of you.] 


‘Oh, right, I should call to tell ‘em we’re here.’ 


When they’ve nearly reached the doors to the elevator, Lucas pulls out his phone, leisurely scrolling through his contacts in pursuit of ‘MARK’. 


The little electronic display over the elevator doors is steadily ticking down floor numbers, showing the soon-arriving villain’s progress. When it reaches ‘3’ 427 makes a thoughtful hum before speaking up. 


[All right, it’s just Mark and Mikah in there, and they’ll obviously be here soon. I’ll have my mute on, but not my deafen, so I’ll still know what’s going on. ...Good luck and, well, in case Mikah hangs around while you are off breaking stuff; have fun. ...Bzzt...]
