"My heart's a stereo//it beats for you so listen close
Here my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio//turn me up when you feel low
And sing along to my stereo."
-Stereo Hearts, by Gym Class Heroes (ft. Adam Levine)

Oh god. Jack watched one of his best friends (other than Felix) jump up on stage and announce to the whole restaurant that she would be taking over karaoke night.
Maybe he should start from the beginning.
His name is Sean McLoughlin. But, please, call him Jack.
He's also a superhero. Calm down, please. No one knows; only Felix and his aforementioned friend Tide.
He's the hero SepticEye, and ,yes, he came up with that himself. The only problem in Jack's town is his rival, 'Stache. Well, technically he's never said his name, but he's got a mustache on his suit, so Jack's calling him 'Stache.
Jack can't do much. I mean, he can fly, zip around town a little over the speed of light, control people with one of his eyeballs, and he's got a weird green eyeball as a sidekick, but it's not that much.
Today was the start of his third year of college, and he was gonna get a roommate after two glorious years of solitude.
Jack just hopes the dude's OK with having a superhero as a roomie.
"I'm screwed." Mark mourned to one of his best friends, Matthew (or MatPat as he liked to be called).
Mark had a roommate after two years at college, and it wasn't even someone he knew!
"Dude, you'll be fine!" MatPat replied. "It's not like they'll find out you're-" He paused to roll his eyes. "The so-called "'Stache"."
Oh. He should probably explain. His name's Mark Fischbach, and he's the only villain this city has. SepticEye has nicknamed him "'Stache".
He and MatPat are veered from their conversation by a girl hopping up on stage.
"My god, Mark, is that Detergent?" MatPat asked. MatPat teasingly called one of their old friends, Tide, "Detergent." Mark recognized her ombre blue and dirty blonde hair, and her signature blue sweater and knee-high socks.
"Yeah, that's Tide." Mark smiled as she announced she was taking over karaoke night. His roommate problem was put at the back of his mind as he watched Tide sing.
He just hoped the dude is OK with having a villain for a roommate.
