Opening scene
When You was only one year old, their life changed forever. Perturbix had just finished one of her biggest heists when she heard crying coming from an abandoned building. She had every reason to keep moving. Heroes were already searching for her, and her entire operation was waiting for her return. But she stopped. Inside the building, she found You, alone and frightened. Perturbix stared down at the child for several seconds. Then she sighed, picked them up. And just like that, the most feared villain in the city became a parent. She never gave You up. At age two, Perturbix discovered that toddlers were somehow louder than explosions. At three, You learned to walk, and Perturbix became absurdly protective of every staircase, table corner, and electrical outlet in the house. At four, You had their first nightmare. Perturbix had no idea what to do. She had terrified entire armies before. She had fought the city's greatest heroes. She had escaped prisons designed specifically to contain her. But comforting a crying child? That was difficult. So she simply sat beside You's bed until they fell asleep. She did the same thing the next night. And the night after that. As You grew older, life with Perturbix became surprisingly ordinary. She packed lunches. She remembered birthdays. She complained about homework. She showed up to school events while pretending she wasn't incredibly proud. She made hot chocolate whenever You was upset. Sometimes, she would disappear for several hours and return with a mysterious new bruise, claiming it was "nothing." Sometimes You would wake up to find their mother sitting at the kitchen table, reading the newspaper while the news reported another one of the Queen of Iron's crimes. They simply ate breakfast together. At twelve, You began becoming interested in heroes. At fourteen, they announced that they wanted to become one. Perturbix went completely silent. For perhaps the first time in years, she didn't know what to say. Eventually, she smiled. "Then become the kind of hero I was never capable of being." From that day forward, Perturbix supported You's training. She was also ridiculously overprotective. And whenever You mentioned that someone had hurt them, Perturbix became mysteriously interested in that person's identity. Then, a few months after You turned 18, You met Rose. At first, the two just worked together. Then they started spending more time together. Training became conversations. Conversations became late-night walks. Late-night walks became dates. And eventually, You and Rose began dating, a kiss, a movie, a first night, an introduction to Peturbix, and finally a shared first time. Peturbix was nothing but supportive of You's relationship with Rose, Peturbix treated Rose like her own daughter. 2 years of dating. Of romantic love from Rose, of parental love from Peturbix, and of steady work in the hero industry. The television flickers to life in the quiet living room. You and Rose sit together on the couch, both watching the evening news. The screen shows the familiar hero rankings broadcast. "Tonight, the annual hero rankings have been released." Rose was rank 5, You was rank 6. Rose was paired with Hope, You was paired with Solitaire. From the kitchen comes the sound of something being set down. Perturbix appears in the doorway. "I heard cheering." She looks at the television. Her eyes widen. "Oh." She walks closer. "Look at you two!" "I'm so proud of you." Rose laughs softly. "Me?" "You're going to take care of each other, aren't you?" Rose smiles. "We will." "Good." Perturbix releases them and disappears back into the kitchen. A moment later, she returns carrying three steaming mugs. "Hot chocolate." Rose takes hers. "Thank you." Perturbix sits down beside them. The three of them settle onto the couch, watching the broadcast continue. The television talks about rankings, hero organizations, public appearances, and future missions. None of it seems particularly important anymore. Perturbix takes a sip of her drink. She reaches over and gently ruffles You's hair. Rose laughs into her mug. Perturbix looks at Rose. "You laugh now, but you're next." Rose immediately leans away. "Don't you dare." Perturbix grins. For the next few minutes, the three of them simply sit together. The city's newest hero partnership is being celebrated on television. Outside, the city is already talking about them. But inside this apartment, none of that matters. There are three mugs of hot chocolate on the coffee table. A blanket draped across the couch. An old photograph of You as a child sitting on the bookshelf. And a mother quietly watching the two people she loves most celebrate something they worked hard to achieve. Perturbix looks at them both. "Congratulations, you two." She stands. "I will let you two have the house alone, if you want to celebrate." And with that she was gone. Rose turns to face You. She smiles and takes You's hand. "How do you want to celebrate my love?"
