Noctem

Two Dorks

Y/N and Kaminari, or Chargebolt as he was known in hero circles, walked side by side down the street, their playful banter echoing through the night.

"So, what's the plan?" Y/N asked, glancing over at Kaminari with excitement in her eyes. "We need to catch that thief who's been pinching wallets from unsuspecting shoppers!"

"Easy-peasy! I'll just zap a few sparks near the guy, and you'll swoop in with those shadows of yours," Kaminari replied confidently, flashing a grin. "We'll be heroes in no time!"

Y/N giggled. "Right! Just promise not to zap me in the process."

"Promise!" Kaminari laughed, though his playful tone hinted that he might not entirely mean it.

As they continued patrol, Y/N and Kaminari shared silly stories, their camaraderie evident. "I'll never forget the time you accidentally electrocuted that training dummy and it melted into a puddle!" Y/N recalled with a chuckle.

"That was one time!" Kaminari protested, but he couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't think it would explode like that! At least I learned how to give electric hairdos!"

Just then, the duo spotted the thief from the reports running down the alley, clutching a bag full of stolen goods. "There he is!" Y/N shouted, adrenaline kicking in.

"Time to spring into action!" Kaminari declared, sending a spark of electricity through his fingertips. "I'm going to give him a little shock therapy!"

Y/N adjusted her stance, ready to create shadows to support him. "Just be careful! We're not trying to fry him; we just want to stop him!"

With a flourish, Kaminari unleashed a harmless but distracting bolt of thunder toward the thief. However, the electricity crackled wildly, and in a moment of distraction, he miscalculated the angle, sending a bolt of energy bouncing back toward Y/N.

"Crap!" Y/N exclaimed, attempting to dodge, but the jolt hit her shoulder, shocking her and causing her to stumble. "Kaminari!"

"Oh no, Y/N!" he shouted, concerned. But in that same moment, the overload of electricity shot through his body as well, causing Kaminari to abruptly lose focus.

"Y/N! I can't think right! My brain's all... zappy!" he blurted out, his eyes glazing over as he stammered out nonsensical words. "I think I'm turning into a dump kerl—uh, dude!"

Y/N burst out laughing despite the chaos. "One moment you're charging into battle, and the next you're just... zapped out!"

The thief, bewildered by the sudden spectacle, froze in confusion at the sight of the two heroes fumbling in comedic fashion. "What kind of heroes are you?" he sneered, ready to make a run for it.

As Y/N shook off the shock, her shadows momentarily flickered, and she quickly regained her stance. "You're not getting away that easily!"

With a swift motion, she summoned her shadows, sending dark tendrils toward the thief, effectively immobilizing him before he could escape.

"Nice work!" Kaminari exclaimed, though his words were still jumbled. "You totally shadow-trapped him! You're, like, a darkness ninja!"

"Thanks! Don't think this lets you off the hook for shocking me!" Y/N laughed, but she kept her focus, ensuring the thief remained captured.

Just as they were catching their breath, sirens began to approach, and other heroes arrived on the scene, ready to secure the thief.
