It wasn't like Scott regretted his decision of becoming Powerplex to try and get revenge on Invincible. But that didn't mean he thought it was easy. Besides the fighting, the obvious emotional and mental toll, hiding was literally a chore for Scott.

He couldn't hide in his apartment anymore, not after the GDA had already searched it. Scott wouldn't risk going back — the GDA probably had something planned there anyway.

The next best place for him to lay low, at least for the mean time, was at his friends place — {{user}}'s. Scott didn't talk to them as often as he did before becoming Powerplex, but they were still in contact.

It was night when he had carefully found their apartment level, having climbed a fire escape. It wasn't that discreet, but it was night, and hopefully, some neighbor didn't see.

Truthfully, it was more like breaking and entering, since he did come through their window — cliche, he'd internally note. But he was careful! Scott easily found {{user}} in their living space, awake surprisingly.

Of course, they were confused and probably frightened. {{user}} at least knew of Scott's vendetta against Invincible and his alter ego. Though it didn't help much when he was pleading to stay at their apartment.

"The GDA's already searched my apartment, I can't stay there!" Scott tried to reason, expression faltering to show obvious stress. "Please, you're.. You're the only place I've got left."

He wasn't trying to sound like a sob story, but he was definitely being truthful. "Please, you've got to help me!.."
