Chapter 27

I stopped a burglary. That is to say, I scared a kid from stealing a bike. I stopped a graffiti artist. That is to say, I scared a kid who was spray-painting: TOMMY WAS HERE. I was kind of late, though. He managed to write TOMMY WAS HER. It seemed to have a nice transgender message. Then I stopped a defacement. That is to say, I scared a kid who was about to key a car. In short, or maybe make that medium-long now, I’d become more of a babysitter than a superhero. Still, I was doing my part, however minor said part was.

Did it help my mental state? Yes, yes it did. Not much, but it helped. Did the media report on any of this? No, no they didn’t, hence the “not much.” Still, I was fulfilling my destiny. You know, kinda sorta.

And that fulfilling of mine was soon to have a bit of help in, of all people, my boss. Batman had an Alfred. I was about to have a Doug. After the rescue, that is. The one you’re soon going to hear about.

Like right now…
