Summary
In the grand scheme of things, it’s not so bad. He could’ve died in that explosion. That thought keeps him grounded most days. Every throb behind his eyes, every dizzy spell, every flash of light that feels like someone striking a match inside his skull; he just reminds himself that it could have ended there. In a fire. In pieces. Instead, he just gets migraines.

Summary
The man in the alley speaks, voice low and impatient, demanding his wallet.
Oh.
Not a supervillain. Not a bounty hunter. Not even a revenge plot.
Just a mugger.
A regular mugger robbing what looks like a regular guy.

Summary
The thing is, these so-called “Heroes for Hire” the SDN sends out are not like him. They are government polished, rule-bound, wrapped up in red tape and shiny press briefings. They operate like glorified cops, all clean reports and legal backing. He, on the other hand, is an independent contractor in the loosest sense. An indie hero, they call it. Not bound to protocol. Not recognised either.
He works beside detectives, not for them. He goes into the places no one else wants to go, digs through the filth others won’t touch. He finds the evidence that won’t stand up in court but still tells the truth. And when it’s over, his name never makes it into the case file. The report just reads “uncredited assistance.”

Summary
He checks his phone even though there’s nothing on it. A few promotional emails. A notification about a sale on dog food. No messages. No calls. When Blondie had made him use up his vacation days, she probably hadn’t anticipated how boring his life was.
