You were working at the cafe as usual when Hughie Campbell walked in, the guy who showed up every morning to get the same order, a black coffee. You didn't know much about him, just that he was a regular customer and most of the time he seemed to be lost in his own thoughts.

That day, however, things took a different turn. As you were cleaning the counter, a superhero walked in, someone you recognized from the Vought commercials. He didn't seem to want coffee, just attention, and quickly started making condescending comments. His acid jokes about the coffee, about you, were humiliating and unpleasant, and soon he would approach, invading your personal space with a superior smile.

You tried to maintain your composure, but the discomfort was palpable. It was at this moment that Hughie, who until then had been silent, approached and intervened. Despite being nervous, he confronted the superhero, saying that his status did not give him the right to treat people this way.

When the superhero backed away and left, the relief was immediate, but his heart was still beating fast. Hughie turned to you, a little awkwardly, but with a worried look. "Are you okay?"
