Shin Eunjin walked along Korea's pavements. The light from the street lamps illuminated her path. She had just left her school building and was making her way towards her house. She sighed. Since neither her parents nor her brother were home, there would be no one waiting for her with dinner, no one waiting to greet her when she walked through the door. Out of boredom, Eunjin decided to stop at a convenience store and buy a sweet treat.She walked in and noticed that there were barely any customers inside. Just an older man arguing about the price of soju with the cashier. Eunjin picked up a chocolate bar and walked towards the register, politely smiling at the older man, who just ignored her and continued shouting. She placed money on the counter. The cashier didn't bother looking at her. He just gestured towards the door, so she left.As soon as Eunjin left the store, she heard a loud bang from off in the distance. Her heart raced with anticipation. She felt excited, happy, needed. She quickly ran behind the store’s building. Away from all the cameras. Eunjin took out a change of clothes from her backpack and a bottle of spray on hair dye. She suited up and then ran towards the noise. Leaving all of her things behind, she’d come back for them later. Soon stood in front of a large building, burning in flames, people running, screaming, her name.“Pia!” she heard coming from nowhere. Eunjin, well… Pia knew it wasn't nowhere. The voice was her best friend. Possibly the only person she could call her friend. She just couldn't see her right now.“You okay, what happened?” Pia asked.“They tried to rob it, the bank… I tried to follow one of the guys, but I lost him. Fuck, my leg!” Pia heard a thump and saw a puddle of blood dripping from the air.“Are you hurt? Do you wanna sit this one out?” Pia asked.“No, I'm okay, just need a minute. That guy next to the bank’s door has the description of the robbers… You can ask him for it” that was the last thing Pia heard, then she saw droplets of blood slowly making their way to a nearby bench. Pia ran towards the man who her friend mentioned.“Oh, MP, how good you're here! They blew it up! My money, oh God…”“I'm here to help. Can you describe the robbers to me?”“Yes… ah… I took a photo, but it's a bit blurry” the man showed her his phone. Pia could make up the outfits of the robbers, but not their faces. One of them was wearing neon green trainers, she’ll definitely spot him.“Thank you. Did you see what direction they went?” Pia asked and the man pointed towards one of the busier roads. Pia gave him his phone back and ran in that direction.She felt excited as she ran past the buildings trying to locate the culprits. MP was everything Eunjin wasn't, she could be anywhere at any time, while Eunjin could hardly have a minute for herself. Sometimes it felt as if the two of them were different people, but they really weren't. Though Eunjin dreamt she could use some of MP’s powers in her daily life she knew she couldn't. It would all end if she did. That’s how it worked after all. She’s been warned about it when she got her powers. She’s been told to only use them for the good of the world, not for selfish reasons. She didn’t wanna risk proving the warning wrong. She didn’t wanna lose what she has.“Stop right there!” MP yelled at a man with neon green trainers and another man standing next to him. She thought they could be the robbers. They turned to look at her then started running in opposite directions. It wasn't a problem for Pia though. She stood still and focused. Cloning herself wasn’t hard, but she needed to focus on it, just a bit. Soon in front of her stood a clone, an exact replica of her, it just couldn’t think for itself. “Catch the guy with the neon green trainers” she commanded the clone and it ran after one of the men. Pia ran after the other.Pia chased him into a forest. The man was probably hoping she would lose track of him. But she wouldn't do that. She never did. She followed closely behind him for a while. Pia walked slowly and quietly to not draw too much attention to herself. The robber stopped to catch his breath, like he was safe. He wasn’t.Pia hid next to a tree behind him. The man bent over to tie his shoe. Perfect. She got closer to him. She was right behind him, ready to push him to the ground and cuff his hands behind his back. But she felt herself getting pushed to the ground by an unknown force. Fast, too fast. She fell to the ground. Her head hitting a rock. She wouldn't make it, her consciousness drifted away. The last thing she saw was a tall figure dressed in purple standing over her.

“Oh God! I killed a girl!” screamed Velocity. Under her feet lay the body of a young girl, her head bleeding. Velocity looked down horrified. That's not what was supposed to happen. She wasn't the only one horrified. The man looked towards her and started trembling. He slowly backed away. He wouldn't get far though. Velocity ran towards him, faster than light, and pushed him to the ground. The man got lucky, unlike the girl from before, and survived the fall. Velocity tied him up.She left the man on the ground and walked back to the girl. She kneeled down next to her and put a finger on her throat, trying to feel a pulse.Oh God, she thought. First day as a superhero, and I killed a different superhero! God, that’s it. First and last day, no way they’ll let me stay!Velocity started to panic. She ran towards the city, maybe she could find some help. Maybe there was still time. Velocity arrived at a police station. It was closer than the hospital and every second mattered.“Excuse me! Mister!” she screamed. a police officer was standing with his back to her, talking to somebody else. He excused the other person and turned to her.“Yes? What happened?”“There is a robber. I caught him in the forest. And the girl…” Velocity started explaining, but she soon stopped, her eyes widening.“Oh! You got him! Awesome! I tried, but someone knocked me out. I'm MP! What's your name?” MP interrupted and the policeman ran to detain the remaining robber.“You- I- But-” Velocity stuttered.“You okay?”“How are you here? You’re okay?”“Why wouldn’t I be?”“Cause you were there?!” Velocity pointed outside. “And you weren’t breathing!”“Wait, you were the one who pushed me? I thought that was one of the robbers! What the fuck?!” screamed MP.“But, how are you…”“How am I? How do you think?! Maybe say sorry, huh?! You fucking killed me!”“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m very new to this, I don’t really know what I’m doing… Can we start over?” Velocity asked hopefully.“Okay, I can see that you're a little bit lost, so sure. Let’s do that. My name is MP. My friends call me Pia. I'm a superhero. What about you?” MP smiled at Velocity, who was still standing still and looking at her still in shock.“I-I’m Velocity. But how?”“I can make clones of myself, copies of my body that do whatever I command them to. I'm alive as long as one of my clones is alive. What can you do?”“I’m… fast” Velocity was still in shock at what had just happened. She was sure she had killed somebody!“Great, you have super speed. That must be how you smacked me so hard. You know, it really hurt me. But it's okay now. Wanna go take a seat somewhere?” MP took Velocity by her hand without waiting for a response and dragged her off to a bench.“How is that possible? You’re still alive! What kind of science…” asked Velocity.“I don't know, it just happens” answered MP.“But… how can you not know?”“Well, how about you? How is super speed possible?”“I… don’t actually know. I just woke up one day, and I could do it. It’s a long story.”“Didn't you see me before on the news? I thought everyone knew that about me already”“No, I didn't really care about the whole… superhero thing until I became one, which was very recent”“Ah, I see. Would you like some water?” MP gestured towards a vending machine. Velocity nodded, clearly fatigued from the whole ordeal.“Want me to get you some?” asked a voice coming from next to Velocity. Velocity screamed.“Relax! It's my friend, she's invisible. Yes, please, get us some water, honey. Didn't you see the floating bandage?”“Jesus, you're gonna kill me! And no, I didn't” exclaimed Velocity.“No, no. You killed me” MP joked and leaned back on the bench. She looked to the side at Velocity. The girl was very tall. MP thought she must be older than her. MP’s friend came back with a water bottle and gave it to Velocity. She took a sip and gave the water bottle back.“This is weird”“Welcome to superhero-ing! How long have you been at it?” asked MP.“Um, I had just gotten those powers like… two weeks ago? I think”“So not long! Wow. Do you have an account already? On Opaque? The app should be on your phone. With a calculator icon! You should add me!”“Oh, yeah, I noticed that. I wasn't sure what it was” Velocity took her phone out, it wasn't anything special. One of the newer models, black. She unlocked it, the wallpaper was the default one, the phone was clearly new.Velocity navigated to the apps menu. What stood out most were two calculators. One next to the other. She clicked the one with the blue icon. What opened up wasn't a calculator at all. The name Opaque showed on the screen. a secret social media just for superheroes.It appeared on Velocity’s phone when she got her powers. She doesn't remember downloading it. At first she thought it was a virus, that's why she'd gotten a new phone. But the weird app appeared on her new phone as well. Only recently she had opened it and realised what it actually was. She hasn't explored the app much though. MP took the phone from Velocity and navigated to the friends tab, she searched for her username and sent a friend request.“There! Done! We can talk to each other now! How exciting!” MP stood up from the bench.“So… what now? The robbers are caught. Is there something else we need to do?” asked Velocity.“Nothing. Now we go and do whatever it is that we do in our boring daily lives. See you later” explained Pia and ran off.

MP walked back to the convenience store. She was still a bit upset with the new girl for pushing her, but she was glad to have somebody else to fight with on her side. She reached for her belongings and changed her clothes. Boring self. Boring uniform. Boring life. She put a hood over her head and started walking back home. Her parents would probably be there already, maybe her brother too. She'll probably get in trouble for being late.Eunjin slowly opened the door of her house. She had hoped to make it to the bathroom quickly and avoid her mother's comments. Unfortunately, today wasn't on her side.“Shin Eunjin!”“Mum”“Why are you wearing a hood? Did you get into a fight?” her mother asked, already sounding annoyed.“No, I didn't. I'm fine”“Then take the hood off. You’re a girl, Eunjin”“I'll take it off in the bathroom” Eunjin said, and turned towards the stairs.“Because?”Because I dyed my hair with spray dye and you'll get even more mad at me than you are now, if you see it. “Because a bird shat on my head”“Eunjin! Language!”“Sorry” she mumbled and hurried upstairs before her mum could say anything else. Once inside the bathroom, she locked the door behind her and turned on the shower. As warm water washed over her, she scrubbed away the dirt and temporary dye. She knew it wasn't the best choice to dye her hair like that every time she needed to become MP, but she did it anyway because she liked it.Eunjin got out of the shower and lay on her bed. She took her phone out, opened Opaque and texted Velocity. Eunjin remembered how scared she felt after her own first day of being a superhero. If the invisible girl wasn't there for her, Eunjin probably wouldn't have decided to keep being a hero.[MP] Hey! How are you feeling after your first day? ^‿[Velocity] Good, I think.[MP] I'm still mad you pushed me. ಠ︵ಠ[Velocity] I'm so sorry! I'm still getting used to being that fast. I get dizzy sometimes.[MP] I get it. I was very confused when I first started out too... The invisible girl you met today helped me a lot back then. ^‿[Velocity] Oh! That reminds me, I forgot to thank her for the water. What's her username?[MP] I’ll make a group chat! ✷‿✷User MP added user(s) Velocity and … to this group chat[MP] Here it is! HI girls! ✷‿✷[Velocity] Hi![...] hello[Velocity] Hi! I wanted to say thank you for the water earlier today. It really helped me out.[...] dont worry about       its the least I could do[Velocity] Still, thank you. What's your name?[...] I dont have one[Velocity] What? Why not? What do people call you?[...] most people dont really know I exist       I dont like to be noticed[Velocity] Oh, I see.[...] besides pia has enough names for both of us       I can just take one of hers[MP] THAT;S MOT TRUWEEEF ಠ︵ಠ[...] I think she has like 7[MP] LIAR! OBEREGXAGGURATOR ಠ︵ಠ[Velocity] Wait, how many names do you have?[MP] Well, there's MP, Pia and my irl name. Just three ^‿[...] I thought your nonhero friends called you by nicknames too[MP] Okay, four names. Happy now? ಠ︵ಠ[...] yes[Velocity] Also I heard Pia call you honey. Is that something I can say?[...] id prefer not[Velocity] Okay, no problem!Eunjin’s texting got interrupted by a loud scream from downstairs.“Shin Eunwoo, put your phone down! Look at me! I asked why you're late again!”“Mum. I told you, I was at football practice” her twin brother replied.“I called the school. You are not part of the football team. Don't lie to your mother”“Mum, I-”“Son” she cut him off “We had an agreement. I'd let you keep your hair like that and you'd join the football team. Why do you continue to lie to me? To your own mother!” their mum wasn’t just mad, she was pissed.Honestly speaking, Eunjin had no idea that her brother didn't actually sign up for the football team, but who was she to judge? She didn't sign up for piano either.“Mum. I tried out. They didn't let me on the team” Eunwoo tried to explain.“And you think that's a good enough excuse to lie to me?”“I didn't tell you, cause I knew you'd react like this!”“Like what?! Tomorrow, you're back asking them to reconsider, got it?!”Eunjin heard footsteps pounding up the stairs and then shortly after a door slamming beside hers.Eunjin wouldn't say she was especially close with her twin. Sure, they talk sometimes, but not often. Last time they talked was probably a month ago when their maternal grandfather died. They were both grieving and it brought them closer together for the time being. a knock came at her door. It had to be her brother, her parents never knocked.“Come in” she called out.Her brother walked in holding a controller in his hand. Without a word, she turned on her computer and opened up a two player game. They sat down on the floor, Eunjin holding her keyboard, Eunwoo holding his controller. They sat in silence for a little while, it wasn’t awkward, but the weight of the argument with their mum was still settling in.“Jin, where do you go when it's time for piano class?”“It depends on the day. Convenience stores, clothing shops, book stores. Why?” Eunjin turned to face her brother.“Jaekyung’s never gonna let me on the team. I'll just make a fool of myself if I ask again” Jaekyung was the football’s team captain. For some reason, he never liked Eunwoo.“Don't ask, then.” Eunjin said as if it were that easy.“That's why I asked where go you when it's time for piano”“Your hair is fucke- tangled”Eunjin grabbed her hair brush and sat down on her bed behind Eunwoo and gently detangled his hair.“It made mum mad” he said quietly.“I heard”They stayed silent after that. Just like before, but this time it felt lighter. Maybe being silent was better.

“Velocity! Run to the other side, you’ll catch him there” MP commanded. Velocity nodded her head and ran off.Another day, another superhero adventure. They've been working together for a couple of days now, maybe even two weeks? Velocity isn't sure, she hasn't really been keeping track. She quickly cut off the criminal on the other side of the building, pushed him on to the ground and tied his arms and legs. After escorting the criminal to the police, she went to meet back up with the other girls. They were already busy chatting.“You're really getting into the leader role, aren't you?”“Who? Me?” MP asked, looking in the direction of her friend’s voice.“Yeah, you! You keep bossing Velocity around”“Wha- That's not true! I'm just giving suggestions” MP corrected but her friend wasn't so sure if she believed that.“I don't mind being given orders, at least then I know what to do” Velocity pointed out.“See, she doesn't mind!" MP smiled “Anyways, I gotta run, I’ll see you next time!” MP waved and then she was gone.Velocity waved back at her. “Does she always leave this quickly?”“Mostly. She used to stick around more when she first started out. We used to hang out for hours after”“Oh, I see. I was gonna ask if you're even friends with her, cause she always leaves so quickly”“I’d like to think we are. Why do you ask?”“Well, I was just wondering” Velocity stopped for a minute “and I was kinda hoping that I could become friends with her too. But she's always… gone”“Ah, yeah. I think you're already friends though! I wouldn't worry about it that much!” her friend's cheerful words made her feel a little bit better about the situation. “Wanna do something together again?”“Sure, that'd be fun! Uh… How about the mall” Velocity suggested.Recently the two girls developed a habit of hanging out after they caught the bad guys. Velocity remembered when she asked to hang out the first time.“Would you like to go get some food maybe?”“Yeah, sure. Let me just get my clothes”“Hold on. Clothes? You're not…?”“Why would my clothing turn invisible? That makes no sense”Velocity watched as clothing started floating out of a bag laying next to a nearby bench. Soon the clothes formed into the shape of a human body. Then her hands slowly started to appear.“Oh, you're not gonna be…?” asked Velocity. She was a bit surprised that the other girl wasn’t going to be, well, invisible when they were hanging out.“No, I wouldn’t want to risk losing them. Let’s go” she started walking towards the mall. It felt weird for Velocity to see her now. She was quite short… shorter than she thought the girl would be.“What do you usually do when you go to the mall?” Velocity asked, snapping the girl from her flashback. It'd be their first time actually going to a mall, previously the other girl never had the time.“Usually I don’t go”“Oh! Sorry! I hope I’m not forcing you”“Nah, don’t worry about it. We can make it fun”They walked into the mall and Velocity led them to the arcade area downstairs. The place was quite large with lots of games to choose from. Velocity led them towards an air hockey table.“Ever played this one?”“Yeah, when I was younger” she walked to the other side of the table. Velocity inserted a coin to the machine and they started playing.“You know” Velocity started “I want to get to know you better, cause you don't really type a lot in the group chat. I mean… neither does MP, but she's not here”“What do you wanna know?” she tilted her head“What's your favourite colour?” Velocity scored a point.“I like green”“Purple for me”“I can see” she pointed to Velocity’s outfit, which was mostly purple with a hint of black.“I’m not hiding it very well, am I?” Velocity laughed and scored another point “Favourite snack?”“Not that much into snacks”“Wow, couldn't be me. Hobbies?” another point.“Uhh…”“I'm not bothering you, am I? You sound anxious” point.“No, you're fine. I just don't know how to answer”“Oh my God, you keep missing, are you blind or something?” she joked.“I did leave my glasses at home, yes. I can't see that well without them”“Oh, maybe we should do something else then? I saw some food trucks outside”“That could be cool” she picked up her bag from the floor and started walking to the exit of the arcade.“Oh, I can take it for you!” Velocity took the bag out of her friend's hand without waiting for a response and they walked out of the arcade.They walked upstairs towards the exit. On the way, they passed a group of teenagers loudly discussing some school topics. Velocity's companion got visibly uncomfortable. She got stiff and switched to Velocity's other side, to be further away from the group. Velocity took the hint, grabbed her friend by her hand and walked faster towards the exit.“You good?” Velocity asked.“Yeah”“Not a fan of crowds?”“Not at all” she laughed and walked to one of the food trucks to order some tteokbokki. Velocity got gimbap from a different food truck. They met in the middle and followed Velocity to a nearby bench to eat.“Do you have any questions for me?” Velocity asked, biting into her gimbap.“Do you not have other things to do? Like… you wanna hang out a lot” she continued eating her food.“Cause I think it’s fun! I wanna get to know you better”“Ah, I see. That’s nice. Pia stopped hanging out after a while”“Yeah, that must’ve been annoying”“Not really. I know we’re still friends, we just don’t talk as much and that’s fine. Besides, I know she has her real life responsibilities too”Their chatting was interrupted by a loud scream coming from the other side of the parking lot. They gave each other a look. Velocity put her food on the bench and went to check out the noise, leaving the other girl behind. Soon after, Velocity came back running.“Hey, hey, hey. Are we, like, the only people who get powers?” she asked.“What do you mean?”“Like, here's a superpower if you don't use it good, we’ll take it away, you know?”“I think, so… why?”“Cause I don't think so! Look!” Velocity screamed and grabbed her friend's hand, dragging her towards the noise. There they saw a man throwing cars around, with his bare hands.“Oh shit” she said.“Right!”“I’m calling Pia”They would definitely need the help.

Luckily, today Eunjin managed to enter her house and change her clothes without any comments from her mother. She went to the kitchen to grab something to eat. On the fridge door she found a note from her parents.Out. Work trip. Back at 8.No dinner in the fridge of course. But at least she could wait before taking a shower. Her brother wouldn’t snitch on her for the hair dye. Eunjin settled for a store bought meal from about two weeks ago. It’d work. She set the microwave on for ten minutes and turned on the news. MP had hoped that the noise of the TV would cancel out her thoughts about today. It didn’t work that well.It’s been about two weeks since Velocity joined their superhero group. And it’s not like MP was mad about it, it was just different then she hoped. When she met Velocity she thought that it’d be the same as it was with the invisible girl. Maybe this time MP would take on the teacher role and show Velocity how to be a good hero, like the invisible girl did for her! She’d be a teacher! And then they’d be friends. Fight crime together, text on the app sometimes and that’s about it.What MP hadn’t thought about is that it wouldn’t go like that at all. Velocity wants to hang out. So much. All the time. Every time they’re done catching criminals she wants to do things. Food. Games. Movies. MP didn’t want that. She’d much rather things stay as they were. Saying bye after the criminal is caught and maybe occasional text messages after. She didn’t wanna hang out. It seemed like too much. Too many things to do. She didn’t want more responsibilities, more events to attend. MP didn’t want to admit it to herself, but she felt sad when she noticed that the invisible girl slowly started talking less and less with her, but more with Velocity. She felt annoyed. She needed a distraction. When the microwave rang, Eunjin took out her meal and ran upstairs. She knocked on her brother’s door.“Wanna game?” another knock “Or a movie?”Silence. Eunjin slowly pushed the door open. The room was empty. Did her brother actually go to football? She took her phone out.[Eunjin] Where are you? (┬┬﹏┬┬)[Eunwoo] Out.[Eunjin] ???[Eunwoo] Groceries.[Eunjin] OkayWell, hanging out with her brother is obviously out of the question. She went back downstairs and sat in front of the TV, slowly eating her meal. Maybe she could watch a movie alone. That could be nice too. Eunjin was about to turn to a different channel when she heard the news speaker.“In a shocking turn of events, it appears as though Seoul has gotten its very first supervillain. Let’s hear more from our reporter at the scene”“Thank you. Yes. That’s true. Nearby the mall on Mokdong-ro a man has been spotted throwing around vehicles. The passersby are in panic. What’s worse is that the local hero, MP, is nowhere to be seen. Currently we can observe the new hero, who goes by Velocity, trying to save as many people out of the vehicles as she can. This is a very dangerous situation and everyone’s hoping that MP will soon come to our rescue”What the fuck? Her phone rang.“Pia! You gotta come and help us out here! We’re at the mall at… uh…” she heard a panicked voice of her friend.“Yeah, I know. I saw the news. I’ll be there in ten” she hung up and ran upstairs to get changed for the second time today.Pia got ready as fast as she could and soon enough she was in the mall's parking lot. She spotted Velocity and waved at her.“Oh, thank god you're here. I’m trying to get as many people out of here as I can” Velocity said, pointing at the man in front of them “But that?! That's weird!”“Yeah, I know. Where's the other one? She called me”“She trying to sneak up behind the guy, attack him from behind”“Okay, you continue helping people out of the street, I'll check the guy out” Pia said as she got closer to the man.Velocity got back to helping people off the street and into the parking lot. Pia started to slowly approach the man.“What do you want?!” she yelled when she got close enough for him to hear “Who sent you here?!”The man ignored her and continued angrily smashing the vehicles. As Pia walked closer she noticed that the man didn’t look native to the area. It didn't surprise Pia much, this city was known for high levels of tourism and immigration.“Calm down, we talk, yes?” she asked, this time in English. The man still“Psst” Pia heard a noise coming from nearby “Over here!”“Hi, honey. Do you know what’s up with that guy?” Pia asked when she reached her friend.“All I know is that he’s very angry and doesn’t speak a word of Korean. I’ve got no idea how he’s doing that thing with the cars, it’s so bizarre” she explained.“I’m confused too, I’ve never heard of anything like this before. Okay, you try to sneak up behind him, I’ll distract him” Pia got up and stood in front of the man. Before she got a chance to say anything, a figure of a foreign girl appeared in front of her.“Nossa, é aí que você está. Demorou demais para te achar^[1]” what? “I can take over from here, you can go sit down”“What?”“He's my villain, go sit” said the girl. Pia was so surprised and confused about the whole ordeal that she remained standing still. The foreign girl walked up to Pia and grabbed her by her hand. In a split second the view in front of them changed, they now stood a couple of meters to the side, away from the danger. Pia felt sick in her stomach, she left acid building up in her throat and knew she couldn't hold it in much longer.“What the fuck?”“Sorry, I'll explain later, okay?” said the stranger and she disappeared, quickly reappearing right behind the angry man. She hit him on the neck and he fell to the ground.“Wow” Pia heard coming from next to her “That- that was good”“Yeah. Crazy good”They watched as the foreign girl locked the man in handcuffs and disappeared again. When she came back the man wasn't with her.“So-” she started “Thanks for holding him in one spot before I showed up. Took me a while to find him”“Okay, okay, I have questions to you” Pia stood up and walked towards the girl. It was going to be a challenge questioning her in English, but she could manage “What's your name?”“Terry”“What you did to me?”“I teleported you. Sorry, I usually ask. I just wanted to get you out of the way so that you wouldn't get hurt”“Ah, yes. Um. Why he… How he…?”“Oh, he's a villain. Supervillain, cause powers, I guess. He's strong, like all of us, and he can also teleport… Which is probably why I got assigned to defeat him. Because I have the same powers” explained Terry.“Yes… Uh…” Pia had trouble processing what the girl just said.“Woah, that was awesome!” she heard Velocity yell while she ran up to them “How did you do that?”“Velocity! You speak English, great. Question her. Ask her what happened with that guy!” demanded Pia.“Oh, okay. Happened with that guy?” she asked in English.“Well, basically, he's a villain, that kind with superpowers like us. Except they work a bit differently. But that's too much to talk about now. He can teleport and is superstrong like every villain and hero. I can also teleport, that's why I got assigned to defeat him. Do you guys not have villains here?”“No, we've never seen anything like this before” said Velocity “It shocked all of us, we didn't know it was even possible. How did you defeat him so quickly?”“I take martial arts”“You said you got assigned. By who?”“Oh, sick, you've got an invisible girl! I didn't expect that. I got assigned by a hero group I work for. Do you guys not have that?” Velocity shook her head in response “Woah, what do you even do here?”“Usually just normal stuff. Thefts, robberies, vandalism…” explained Velocity.“Government founding?”“No”“Do you get a cut from that?” asked Terry while pointing at a shop with a display of merchandise representing MP.“Do you get paid for that?” Velocity turned to Pia and asked her in Korean.“No, why are you asking?” she responded.“She said no”“Wow, you guys need a lot of help over here! How about we do instructions?” suggested Terry.“I'm Velocity. I'm the newest hero here. I'm super fast. Next to me is MP, we call her Pia, she can clone herself”“That's an awesome superpower!”“Yeah, she's sort of the leader in our group, I'm just here, I guess. I'm invisible”“Name?”“No name”“No name? We'll pick you one, don't you worry” said Terry “Well, I'm Terry, I can teleport and I'm from Portugal”“That must be so cool, being able to go places in a blink of an eye!”“It is, miss invisible.

Don't joke like this with me!” screamed Pia and her friend laughed.
