hmm... wonder what the heroes are up to (:
second of the three filler chapters to set up the groundwork for a big thing :D
here we have the heroes!
A flash of light zipped into the Luminary Edifice, Shockwave shaking away the excess sparks of electricity off of his suit.
"Fancy seeing you here, Shock," a voice smugly giggled. Shock rolled his eyes behind his metal suit, watching as their local gearsmith Total Chaos walked over to the hero, shaking hands before briefly hugging.
"Haha, very funny seeing as we both work here," Shock laughs, "Anyways, what's up, TC? Haven't heard from you in a hot while since..."
"That Blackjack encounter?" TC filled in, "Helping a friend. You know how it is."
Walking and conversing together, the pair entered the building's main gathering space, where they both sat down on benches close to the center. Ixionid and Stellar Sea entered the room as they were doing this, covered in rainbow slime and glitter.
"Slimecicle again?" Shock guessed, and from the silence that radiated from the two of them, he decided to leave them be. It had probably gone too far that the slime guy just dipped. Social anxiety, Shock can understand. Either that or he didn't want to face Ixionid's wrath, which is also fair.
As they left the room, Stellar muttered something about taking a shower. Immediately after they left, the one-sided window behind Shock, which is normally impenetrable, suddenly collapsed on itself, sending shards of glass hurtling away from the impact before being sucked in by an invisible force. A figure covered in ice and flames lay nearly lifeless on their floor. No one moved for a little period of time as attempts to understand what had just transpired failed, and then TC simply began to walk away.
"Not a hero," he started, backing away, "Not my problem," before leaving the building, leaving Shockwave to his devices and weird isekai man.
<-~->
Ixionid wasn't sure what the shattering noise in the main room was, but as long as Total Chaos and Shockwave were present, everything would be alright. In addition, the first thing he needed to do was wash the glitter and slime out of his hair and superhero suit. Given that he and the Frost Warden are currently pretty much archenemies, he had faith that Shock could handle it.
Well, he'd learn later. Right now, shower.
<-~->
As Stellar Sea got out of the changing room, readjusting the beak mask she typically wore, walking into a total mess was not what she expected. Ixionid was dragging back in Total Chaos - when had that dolt left? - and Shockwave was crouched down next to... a figure? She couldn't tell, the ice and flames that they seemed immune to covered pretty much their entire form.
Stellar walked towards Shock, not bothering to avoid the glass thanks to her metal-bottomed boots, squatting down next to him.
"Are they..." she started, "...okay?"
Shock glanced up, who apparently hadn't noticed Stellar nearby, "Yeah, I just don't know how we're meant to get rid of the... stuff."
"Have you called one of the med-"
The figure suddenly rose, ice and flames erupting from them as they began removing the filth that had been covering their now-apparent gray-green cloak, which appeared to be fighting the trash off of them. They began to leap up and hurry for the gaping exit that was once their window, either not recognizing the two heroes next to them or simply ignoring them.
