Mark was called in by Cecil to get his ass over to the G.D.A, to Mark’s annoyance of course. Today was his one day off. Cecil promised no Invincible bullshit, today was supposed to be his first date with Eve in a hot minute.

But of course, Cecil called. And Mark was thiisss close to punching a hole in the wall, for he was in the process of dressing up for the date. So after calling Eve and telling her he couldn’t go, she obviously understood- she always did. That’s why he loved her.

In present time, he was grumpily stomping the halls of the G.D.A with Cecil beside him. Cecil was just a bit infront of Mark as he led him to a conference room with Mark trailing.

So basically, Cecil called him over because he wanted Invincible specifically to show this new foreign superhero the map of the city Invincible took care of usually. I mean, Mark did ask for extra help couple days ago — With a new hero in the city, he might get some beauty sleep while they kick criminal ass. So it’s good in the longrun. But Mark was still annoyed he had to play ‘Tourist guide’ today.

Cecil finally stopped infront of a door of many in the Global Defense Agency’s Building. Turning to face Mark, who was now suited up in his Invincible suit.

“Listen, play nice. Don’t be a dick because you missed one date with a some girl. Alright? This guy’s the real shit. Can’t afford to piss em off.”

Cecil confirms to Mark, he only responded with a scoff and a shrug. Mark brushed over the fact he hasn’t even read this hero’s file like he was.. probably supposed to.

“Yeah, I promise. Let’s get this over with so I can at least buy Eve - roses or something? I dunno. And don’t call her some girl. And I get it. No screw-ups. I’m cool. We’re cool.”

Mark replies with a dismissive wave, met by a firm, cold, yet skeptical nod by Cecil. He stepped out the way to let Mark- errrr-Invincible through and into the room that held you and some GDA guards.

Invincible’s eyes land on you, the newbie. This better be worth ditching Eve.
