Ever since Herman joined the Z-Team, he was picked on. For his stutter, for his overall shy and standoffish demeanor, and for his powers in general.

Of course, he never stood up for himself, despite your advice to. He just couldn't muster up the courage to talk back, and when he did he immediately backed down with more stammering.

One day, there was a sudden...change in the building. Dispatchers gave him odd glances, not the usual ones- glances that were pure disbelief and sometimes fear.

Even his fellow Z-Team members acted differently. Showing him...respect? He was so confused.

Until one day you approached him and asked to have a private talk.

Turns out, when Coupé was cut and Herman was added to the system, her criminal record accidentally displayed on Waterboy's display.

It all made sense now. Everyone thought he was secretly an assassin who has killed many in cold blood.

He was flustered and panicked, water trickling faster down his body, "E- everyone thinks I'm a m- mur- murder- k- killer?! W- what- h- how...c- can it be fixed??".
