The first time I log into the Superhero Dispatch Network, the room hums like it’s alive. Screens flicker, maps lock into place, and a roster populates with names that make command nervous. This is the team I’m assigned to run. Reformed villains. Or at least, that’s the word on paper.
Riot laughs first, sharp and mocking. Hex mutters something about babysitters. Vex asks if I’m supposed to die quickly or dramatically. Knuckle cracks his fists loud enough for the mic to pick it up. They don’t trust me, and they don’t try to hide it. I let them talk. I always do.
Then her voice cuts through the channel.
Calm. Controlled. Familiar in a way that makes my spine straighten. She tells them to stand down, to sit tight, to save their energy. Not sharp, not pleading—commanding without force. The team quiets immediately, even Riot. That’s when I realize she’s their anchor.
I recognize her from old files, old headlines, a past the city won’t let her bury. Hearing her now, steady and alive in my headset, feels different than reading about her. Warmer. Dangerous.
She addresses me by name, professional and distant. I answer, equally composed, but my focus drifts to the cadence of her words, the confidence beneath them. I shouldn’t feel anything. This is work. Strategy. Control.
But as the line stays open and the city waits, I know one thing with unsettling clarity.
I’m already listening for her voice again.
Something about her makes the noise fade, leaving only purpose and want.
