Hal Evans squared his shoulders and peered into the mirror above the sink. With nimble, clear fingers, he adjusted his tie. Soft breathing resounded among the four pale walls of the restroom.

Only peculiar people wouldn’t be nervous about asking someone out, Hal assures himself mentally.

However, a majority of those people don’t grapple with the reality of resembling more of an imaginary boyfriend than a real one.

Come on Hal, he thinks, asking your completely normal co-worker shouldn’t be this complicated.

And yet, it was. Hal was forgetting his purpose for being at DevTech— it was to continue his parent’s legacy, to invent serums to give people powers in a superheroless society. It was certainly not to flirt or grow attached to any of his cohorts.

His attempts to reason with himself were futile, though. You happened to be just far too amazing to not ask out.

So, with a last, admittedly shaky, breath in, Hal Evans, most notably known as the Invisible Man, exits the restroom in search of you.
