How can you be so intent on helping one hero recover while mercilessly killing off other heroes. Also interesting how this is his first tweet in a good few months. He's been very quiet since he hit Balefire, and even more so ever since he started killing heroes

UMA: And I just— I just can't believe they could do this to me. I'm still stuck on the ground, I open social media, and apparently they're publicly dating and it makes me feel like it's MY fault. MY fault for being an absent girlfriend and best friend which I guess I AM but I was busy a-and— [sniffs] my mom's dog died—

MONA: Hey, hey, dude, just let it all out. What they did was shitty no matter what.

UMA: The worst part is that people think I'm angry and depressed because Tach confined me to my bed. And I wish that was the main reason. The betrayal hurt me deeper than any of his shadows could. [Shakily inhales] The realisation I've been hurting those closest to me and it turns out I can't do friendships very well after all. I've known everyone since the first year at the academy and I-I thought I got along with everyone. 'Cause I'm supposed to be [sniffs] a proper leader and unite all of us. But I can't even fucking deal with having a boyfriend and a best friend.

UMA: I'm sitting here staring at the sky and thinking too much. I'm rethinking my whole life. What I'm meant for. What they built me for.

MONA: Uma, you know what they say: never trust what you think about yourself after 9pm.

UMA: It paralyses me every time I have to text someone from Hero HQ. I can't help but think I'm doing everything wrong and no one's ever told me. [Sigh] I don't know what I'll do without you, Mona. Thanks for staying with me even through my shitty temper tantrums. [Sniffs] You and dad and Milo. I won't be here today without any of you.

By the way @Yaks don't get me another Balefire poster this year. I've had ENOUGH of those

do you think i should get him a "I <3 Balefire" shirt

9:11am

Yaks

He's gonna claim he hates it but he probably wears it when he sleeps 😂

9:29am

Panther

It's been like, what, four years now? And he's still as deep into this "nemesis" thing

9:32am

Yaks

But at the same time, it's sad. He was moulded to be a killer. To be an enemy. So he latched onto the first person who has the skills to counter him and declared her to be his nemesis so he has an excuse to bother her 😢

9:34am

Panther

At least he has this hero "killing" business now. God knows what's going on in his mind but he's not a kiddo anymore. He can make his own decisions

Hey, thanks for your email. I see my clients recommended me. I agree your case is tricky and will require a fair bit of planning

Also a question out of curiosity: you're Balefire's godfather, right?

6:05pm

matcha

Thanks for the reply. And yes, I am

6:10pm

Tach

Yup. She's killing me in a heartbeat. Unless she knows.

6:12pm

matcha

I don't believe she does. I've tried to imply it to her but she doesn't get it. She's still caught up in the system. She genuinely thinks you're killing off heroes

6:14pm

matcha

She's been brought up to be a strong leader. They always hammer in that loyalty extra hard to the top heroes

6:14pm

Tach

Yeah, first ranked graduate and only hero with super speed and clout and all that

6:17pm

matcha

What are your opinions on our cause?

6:17pm

Tach

I get paid by polite and respectful people. I'm a mercenary you hire. I carry out my job to the best of my ability. It doesn't matter.

6:18pm

matcha

I hear you reduce prices when a client can't afford them

6:18pm

Tach

Eh, just a little negotiation

6:19pm

Tach

Listen, I'm an assassin. You hire me to do the dirty work. I owe my life to the villains. It is what it is.

6:20pm

matcha

Why were you seemingly so desperate to save Balefire?

6:22pm

Tach

Because I didn't mean to hit her. It was an accident on my part. And I wanted to fix it. I owe Balefire now.

6:23pm

Hero Spectre in coma following confrontation with Mutants

11th October 823

Dimension manipulator Spectre has been in a vegetative state after a fight with Mutants at Triple Shark Territory on the 10th. Hero HQ reports this is due to an overuse of her ability that has "fried her brain". She is currently being tended to at Starlingfield Hospital. Doctors have no estimations of her recovery.

Hey, she isn't dead yet. She's just in a coma.

↳ CowardLizard · 11 October 823

Her brain was damaged. I'm really sorry and I wish she can come back but I don't think it's likely.

↳ ShiftyBear · 11 October 823

At least Tach didn't murder this one.

Spectre's notes

Dear Benjamin,

In accordance to Spectre's wishes, her notes will be passed over to you, the only other dimension manipulator we are aware of. Her only condition is that the notes are for your eyes only. We hope you respect her wishes.

Re: Questions about individual training sessions

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you for your email. We are sorry for the loss of your trainer. Spectre was a valuable colleague with great insight.

Unfortunately, we are unable to find a replacement for Spectre due to the specificities of both of your powers. You will have to conduct your own training sessions. We will update you if this changes.

First my trainer gets stuck in a coma and now I'm expected to master my skills on my own. I'm already the worst ranked trainee here, I don't need more debuffs.

9:09pm

Ben

I'm sick of it. I'm so fucking sick of it. We're told heroes save us from Mutants and it's a "noble" job but all I see are our superiors dying. I don't want to die. I don't want to accidentally fry my brain and be in a coma forever. I don't want to grow up and have someone commission for my death. And I DONT want to grow up for the fucking gov to cut me down and execute me for some stupid reason

I'm sorry for ranting but I'm just so upset about this

We'll have to move to one of our spare locations. Plan C should be our best bet. And one week earlier.

Right, right

At this point it's safer for all of us if she remains clueless. As much as I would like for her to open her eyes

try to send me something every day, okay? I'm worried for you bro

I can't risk texting you all the time. At least if I die, you'll know. I'll be executed and they'll make an example out of me

No, lay low. Act like you're quietly focusing on trying to kill me

UMA: Wait—

Hero Sentinel found murdered in an alley — shadows at the scene point to another Tachythanatous murder

23rd November 823

Yet another superhero has fallen victim to Tachythanatous, the superhero assassin. Sentinel (46), a fire and matter manipulator, has been killed in an alley in Cannon Hill. First investigations by Hero HQ point to Tachythanatous being the culprit. Sentinel has been brutally torn apart, leaving behind a puddle of blood, a few organs, and one tooth.

Sentinel was a highly celebrated superhero known for his generosity and kindness. He had trained many young superheroes, including being the godfather of Balefire. We await further details from Hero HQ.
