    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 Man’s suit for what felt like the tenth time this month.

    You peeked in. He didn’t even notice β€” too focused, too adorable, too immersed. Which made it the perfect time to strike.

    You opened the workshop fridge. There it was.

    Royd’s sacred lunch: Spam musubi, wrapped perfectly, labelled in sharpie: β€œNO TOUCH. NO EVEN LOOK. β€”Royd”

    You took it anyway. What’s marriage for?

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

    Twenty minutes later, the world ended. β€œYO! WHERE MY SPAM?!”

    Royd’s voice boomed through HQ like a natural disaster.

    Flambae peeked around a corner, eyebrows raised. β€œDude… who died?”

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

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

    Royd tackled him with surprising strength. β€œYOU STEAL IT?”

    β€œNOβ€”! I DON’T EVEN EAT RICE!”

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

    Phenomaman blinked politely. β€œI am unfamiliar with the… spahm.”

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

    Flambae raised both hands. β€œI’m many things, but I’m not suicidal.”

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

    He turned.

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

    β€œOh! You da thief, mama?”

    You nodded sheepishly. β€œSorry. It was really good.”

    Royd blinked. Then beamed.

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

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

    Flambae muttered, β€œI thought we were about to die.”

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

    β€œNo worry, mama. For you? I share anything. Even da Spam.”

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