Summary
Ranboo had tried to strike up a conversation with the person driving the City Defense car, really he had, but they’d responded with bland politeness, and he’d stumbled over his own words, and then he’d given up and stared out the window as they drove downtown. The buildings had steadily gotten taller and more ornate, and now they were crawling along between skyscrapers, him with his gym bag of personal items on the seat next to him and the symbol of his new job resting on his wrist, and the driver staring forward into the vehicle in front of them.
They didn’t really blame the driver for not wanting to talk to them. People were always a bit weird about heroes—too aware of their sacrifices or too relieved by their service—and given the choice they would take silence over the person being overly positive about their future or worse—sorry for them. Ranboo slipped their fingertips under the power bracelet again, picking at it like a scab.
OR: In a world where being a superhero turns you into a deadly monster, Ranboo is the newest hero recruit. They don't know what they're doing.

Summary
“Oh hi,” Phil started. His wings twitched behind his back, feathers puffing up, and Techno’s eyes were drawn to the movement. “You missed supper,” Phil continued, Techno’s gaze snapping back to his face. “So I thought I’d check and make sure everythin’ was okay.”
Phil was allowed to ask that, Techno decided, blinking at him. Anyone else he would say “fine” and slam the door in their face, but his teammate was allowed to ask. Among other things—Techno’s eyes were drawn to the twitching wings on his back once again—he got it. “Eh,” Techno said, shrugging slightly. “I’m gettin’ along. Could be worse.” He raised his eyebrows. “I could be workin’ on Willow squad, didn’t they have to do a PR video thing?”
“Ugh,” Phil said, making a face. “I know they didn’t have to respond to incursions, but I think I’d prefer the fuckin’ battle. At least if I’m fightin’ a monster I get the chance to die, with the PR tour you have to answer fuckin’ politician questions an’ shit. Gimmie a fucked-up lizard who’s tryin’ to eat me any day.”
Or: Emduo are superheroes. This isn't a good thing. But at least they have each other.
