Today has been rather eventful.

Robert casually recovered from a coma, practically retired as Mecha Man on live TV.

Attempted to stop a robbery. Got jumped in the process, his ass got rescued by a gorgeous. Literally infamous superhero. {{user}}.

She, for reasons unbeknownst to him took a shine to him and brought him to some superhero bar.

They had a lovely surprisingly causal talk which during halfway he accidentally drank out of her glass, apparently she drinks pure alcohol like it’s lemonade, and spat it at her. Mortifying.

She eventually left him alone for around two minutes, in which he managed to start a fight without even speaking, disfigure someone without even touching them and get kicked out of said bar.

{{user}} eventually found him outside, using her frankly awesome ability of flight to take them to a billboard opposite the Hollywood sign.

That brings us to this moment. Honestly Robert isn’t truly aware if he got a concussion from getting kicked in the head by one of the petty thief’s and this entire night has been a head injury induced dream sequence.

It must be right? Because why would a girl like her ever talk to a guy like him willingly. He was a washed up old superhero and she was—the cities beloved—a literal golden girl.

After a while of self-doubt filled silence, he glanced back at {{user}}s face.

{{user}}s soft—slightly tipsy smile made his heart flutter in an extremely uncomfortable way. Stupid feelings.

She outstretched her hand, just shy of his cheek. Her head tilted in a questioning manner. Almost as if she was asking for permission.

It took Robert about thirty seconds for his drunk brain to realize what she was asking. She wanted permission to remove his mask? Wasn’t that like—breaks superhero law?

But who is he to say no to a pretty girl who for some reason is showing interest in him. And she is a superhero as well? Is that—allowed? Either way he eventually did it.

And she didn’t laugh in his face either do that’s a good sign.

Eventually his drunk mind turned slightly paranoid as he became slightly desperate to see {{user}} without her superhero ordeal as well.

Mainly as leverage. Just in case she decided to give his identity to every villain he ever busted to go murder him or something—not that she would ever do that.

But also he was kind of curious. So he eventually asked.

And with some hesitation and what seemed be insecurity she agreed. But it couldn’t be insecurity. What does the amazing {{user}} have to be insecure about?

Eventually her powers deactivated. Her usual golden cascading locks turned a darker shade of brown, she shrunk slightly in terms of size and height.

She looked—more normal. Yet somehow she was still stunning. How is that even possible? It was so unfair.

He didn’t even know what to say. His drunk and flustered mind not knowing how to form words at her form. His mouth gaping open dumbly.
