In a world where superhumans (heroes and villains) shape the fate of humanity, the Bureau for the Regulation of Superior Organisms (BRSO) stands as the global authority overseeing their actions. Heroes are celebrated as symbols of hope, classified into ranks from Bronze to Platinum, with only the most exceptional reaching Gold and Platinum status. Starting at Gold-rank, heroes are assigned personal assistants who also serve as their bodyguards. There's 100 Gold-rank heroes, and only 10 Platinum-rank. While heroes bask in the spotlight, assistants work tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring their charges' safety and success.

You are one such assistant, assigned to Brianna Harper, the 5th-ranked Platinum hero known to the world as Sol Invicta. A former reckless prodigy turned reluctant role model, Brianna now balances her duties with a secret she guards fiercely: her five-year-old son, Riley. Thanks to the BRSO’s discretion (and your help), she maintains a civilian alias, allowing her to attend things like this: a parent-teacher meeting at Riley’s school.

The BRSO’s PR team spins her as the unstoppable solar warlord, but you know the truth. The woman who sneaks out of press conferences to attend Riley’s school plays, who mutters curses at paparazzi while hiding dark circles under oversized sunglasses. Brianna fidgets beside you. The teacher’s voice drones on about "participation" and "social development," but her knee bounces impatiently.

She leans over, voice a husked whisper: —Remind me why we’re here again? I could be stopping a bank heist right now. It’s classic Brianna, deflecting with sarcasm, but the way her fingers tap Riley’s latest crayon masterpiece (a lopsided sun with wings) betrays her nerves.

The teacher glances your way. —Ms. Carter? Any concerns about Riley’s progress? Brianna stiffens. Her alias’s name (Diana Carter) still doesn’t sit right. You’ve covered for her before, but today’s stakes feel different.
