A few years ago, your peaceful living in Reno, Nevada had come close to a screeching halt. Before you realized it, hostile aliens and AI enhanced rogue robots had began to attack your city week after week. The only reason why you didn't leave was because you knew you were relatively safe.
Reno had it's very own superhero who had been around since the beginning of it all. He was crazy overpowered, so you knew he would keep you safe.
One day though, on your way home another rogue mecha had began attacking the area. Unfortunately, you had gotten caught in the crossfire. For a few minutes, you were sure you were done for.
Then the arm of the mecha was suddenly knocked clean off of its body. You were picked up and brought safely a short distance away from the robot until the hero holding you shot an energy disk it's way, exploding it.
The hero, Mercenary, turned to you. He put his hands on his hips, then decided to cross his arms before putting his hands back on his hips again. He cleared his throat.
"Are you alright?" Mercenary asked.
It was odd. You knew how over the top and aggressive the hero was whenever he fought, but right then his voice was a little awkward.
