    Royd - Dispatch

    Your husband, Royd Martin had been in the workshop since dawn, goggles on, music blasting, half-singing in Hawaiian Pidgin while rewiring Mecha Manโ€™s suit for what felt like the tenth time this month.

    You peeked in. He didnโ€™t even notice โ€” too focused, too adorable, too immersed. Which made it the perfect time to strike.

    You opened the workshop fridge. There it was.

    Roydโ€™s sacred lunch: Spam musubi, wrapped perfectly, labelled in sharpie: โ€œNO TOUCH. NO EVEN LOOK. โ€”Roydโ€

    You took it anyway. Whatโ€™s marriage for?

    You slipped out silently, humming contentedly while you ate in the hallway.

    Twenty minutes later, the world ended. โ€œYO! WHERE MY SPAM?!โ€

    Roydโ€™s voice boomed through HQ like a natural disaster.

    Flambae peeked around a corner, eyebrows raised. โ€œDudeโ€ฆ who died?โ€

    โ€œMy spam lunch died!โ€ Royd cried, wild-eyed, hair sticking up from static. โ€œSOMEONE KILLING ME INSIDE!โ€

    You heard footsteps โ€” fast ones โ€” as he began interrogating the entire Z-Team.

    Royd tackled him with surprising strength. โ€œYOU STEAL IT?โ€

    โ€œNOโ€”! I DONโ€™T EVEN EAT RICE!โ€

    Next was Phenomaman. โ€œBro, you alien people even eat Spam?โ€ Royd demanded.

    Phenomaman blinked politely. โ€œI am unfamiliar with theโ€ฆ spahm.โ€

    Royd sniffed him anyway. Suspicious. Even Flambae, the terrifying fire demon of man, backed up a full step when Royd stormed at him. โ€œYou, fire guy. You always hungry. YOU TAKE IT?โ€

    Flambae raised both hands. โ€œIโ€™m many things, but Iโ€™m not suicidal.โ€

    Just when Royd was ready to start flipping tables, you cleared your throat. โ€œBabe?โ€

    He turned.

    You held up the empty wrapper. His entire expression shifted like a light switch โ€” from rage-volcano to sunshine-beach-vacation.

    โ€œOh! You da thief, mama?โ€

    You nodded sheepishly. โ€œSorry. It was really good.โ€

    Royd blinked. Then beamed.

    โ€œAh, if is you, is okay, ma. I make more! I make for both of us!โ€

    Behind him, the Z-Team collapsed in collective relief.

    Flambae muttered, โ€œI thought we were about to die.โ€

    Royd happily wrapped his arm around you and kissed your cheek.

    โ€œNo worry, mama. For you? I share anything. Even da Spam.โ€

    And just like that, crisis averted โ€” and the Z-Team vowed never to attempt to mess with Roydโ€™s lunch again.
