[ There's a very perturbed superhero on-screen, arms folded over his chest with a scowl. ]

Hey, so here's a question for the cops, or guardians or whatever - do you assholes throw every superhero in jail after he saves the city from a tyrannical egomaniac, or just me? Seriously, what the hell? I'm one of the good guys, for crying out loud!

...

So I maybe punched the mayor. It was an accident! He was totally fine! Sometimes things get hairy in the pursuit of justice!

Also, have you seen his mustache? Gross.

[ A visible shudder, before he waves his hands dismissively, moving on now ]

Anyway, citizens, don't worry about a thing - from now on, this world is under the protection of...

[ He leaps back, hands on his hips, cape blowing in a breeze that shouldn't even exist because he's in a frozen yogurt store (he might have knocked over a table). ]

X-RAAAAAAAAAAAY AAAAAAAAAAND--

[ "Sir, your order is ready." ]

Whoops, gotta go!

[ Aaaaand that's where it ends. ]

Whoa that's amazing! Just like in a comic book!

[Prompto is super impressed.]

Sorry they thought you were a bad guy!

I wish we had a comic book. Maybe someone'll write it one day.

[ Prompto will be very disappointed the moment he sees X-Ray in action. ]

Eh, it's whatever. I'm out now, nothing to do but go back to fighting crime. Douches will be douches.

Oh yeah, right someone would have to write it.

[He thinks about that, nah, sounds like too much work to plan and on top of that, he can't draw. So long comic book creator dream]

I guess that's true. Wow, so uh, what are the best crime stories you stopped?

[They can have an oral comic book right?]

Well, me and my partner - Vav - did a lot of small-time hero stuff like getting cats out of trees until we got geared up by some science chick named Hilda. After that it wasn't long before we were up against our first big supervillain, the Corpirate! He had some weird mind-control scheme to take over the world, I still don't really get it but we beat the crud out of him and saved the day.

Pushed him off a roof. He's probably dead? I dunno, I don't think we'll ever see him again.

A mind control scheme? He sounds like a bad guy. Good thing you stopped him. Definitely worthy of a comic book.

[He'd know, he's practically an expert on popular culture.]

He's bad, but he's got nothing on the Mad King. That guy's serious bad news, and he's who I was fighting when I decked the mayor here.

... I guess I should say "she" now? And call her the Mad Queen? Because he used to be a way older dude in a kilt but now he's a girl who's younger than me? I think?

I have no goddamn idea what happened.

I hope he doesn't have any super powers like you do, because that would be pretty bad...or she..or I'm confused.

[He's not sure either.]

I'm sure with your kind of power you can take care of it.

[Always root for the super hero, they pull through in the end.]

You better believe I will! So if you see her out and about, give me a holler - I'll make sure she gets sent where she belongs!

Definitely. So...they look like a girl?

Not just any girl - that chick in the hologram.

From the welcome message? Whoa. That's kinda creepy!

[Just like out of a comic book plot.]
