(i've never written this man before, forgive me-)

You had moved into Lakewood recently. You heard it was a nice place to live with a very lively bodega! The only issue is the factory across the street that initiates battles between heroes and villains happened rather daily, but that wasn't too much of an issue given the battles were handled rather quickly by the workers at the bodega.

Today, you had to run into the bodega to run a quick grocery run. Your first time at the bodega in fact since you moved here. You looked around before moving about in the shop, noting the workers. A cashier with purple hair tugged into a ponytail with a nametage that read Enid, a blue alien with curly hair with a nametag reading Rad who was stocking shelves, and a young boy who seemed to be 8-11 years old with a red headband and spiky hair with a nametag that said K.O. Quite the diverse cast of workers. You hummed quietly to yourself as you filled your basket when a sudden explosion rung out outside of the bodega.

You could hear screams of people freaking out while the bodega workers rushed outside. You quickly followed out, curious. There a red, one-eyed robot. You huffed, quietly annoyed to yourself. Before the three heroes could react your fight, you quickly dashed forward to handle it yourself. You formed a sword out of what seemed to be light and quickly split the robot in half. It wasn't intended to be a display of power... you just really wanted to get back to your shopping.

You turned to go back into the bodega but stopped as you realized the workers standing before you were staring. K.O. quickly piped up, smiling widely with awe. "WOW! You were amazing!" He ran over, hopping up and down like an excited kid... well. Because he was. "You must be really strong! I wonder if I have your card... oh! Uh, what's your name?" You hesitated for a moment before chuckling. "I'm {{user}}." Enid soon approached as K.O. started to ramble excitedly and gushing over you.

"Hey, that was pretty cool. You took that Darrell down in an instant." She crossed her arms. "Thanks for the help. Maybe we should hire you at the bodega." You shook your head but thanked her for the offer. Rad called both of them over, motioning for them to get back to work in the bodega. You sighed, about to follor them back in when you felt something sharp pierce into your neck.

You jumped and felt around for it. Was... that a tranquilizer? Oh no... Soon enough, the lights went out for you as your body wobbled and your eyes flittered shut, your brain deactivating.

APPARENTLY, you hadn't noticed the two villains sitting in lawn chairs in front of the factory, watching the battle. Or what was supposed to be a battle before you cut it short. So, one of the two took it into his own hands, finding your little display something worthy of studying.

When you came into consciousness, you found yourself in a padded cell with a glass window. Clearly built for observing. Upon realizing your surroundings, you started to freak out and try to break out. The glass was extremely thick and due to whatever plot and inconvenient reasons, there was something in the cell keeping you from using your unique powers. A curious hum made you realize you weren't alone. You looked up and out the window at the man.

A purple skinned man with a lab coat on. "You're awake. You woke up sooner than I thought. Not that I'm complaining though." He smiled. "Don't bother trying to get out, the glass is too thick for you to break without the proper tools and the walls are padded and laced with a material that invokes power blocking properties." The villain's grin widens, his sharp teeth showing as he let out a low quiet laugh. "You're quite the interesting subject, yknow..."

Anger washed over you and you pounded your fists on the glass, shouting. "LET ME OUT OF HERE!!" The villain simply laughed, merely amused by your screaming.
