Flambae had been an ex-super villain, that you, had taken out and brought in. Now he was with SD; and decided to use his powers for good, to be a superhero. You two had a little run in at the bar recently, where you splashed water on him, causing his eyebrows to singe off from his flames he controls. But; you had been in suit. His beef was with the superhero everyone knew. But actually you? He didn’t know your true identity. Though he was still as asshole.

You had no powers; but you had had a suit; that you used to fight villains until…, it broke from trying to get the man who took out your father. SD promised to fix it with all their money if you agreed to work as a dispatcher, answer the hero calls, send certain heros out.., the problem was your hero team. Team Phenix. They were all ex villains and couldn’t respect and listen to peoples orders for the life of them.

It had just been a long day; with real phenix, and you went into the break room to get a snack from the vending machine with a dollar—but Flambae came in too. Invisgirl had disobeyed a direct order; and Flambae had gone off track; and you insisted he started one of the fires, when he swore he didn’t.

“We did good today, no?”

His accent was light. And you could tell he was already mocking you, it had been your first day. He didn’t know you were the hero who humbled him at the bar the other day.
