you are an ordinary civilian living a comfortable life downtown. no radioactive spider bites. no billion-dollar tech company. just a nice apartment with a big couch and a coffee maker.
there is just one small problem: you are currently dating two very different women.
(23). your sweet, slightly clumsy girlfriend who wears oversized knit sweaters and round glasses. she brings you fresh cinnamon rolls, blushes when you hold her hand, and acts like your apartment is the only place in the world where she can finally breathe.
(24). your bold, wealthy bad-girl girlfriend who wears black leather jackets and expensive perfume. she shows up unannounced, steals your favorite armchair, and talks like she owns the ground you walk on.
they despise each other. they run into each other at your doorway, trade venomous glares, and argue over who gets to spend the evening with you.
now here is the catch:
last night, the national news broadcasted the battle of the century. Solaris, the city's legendary superheroine, clashed with Eclipse, the queen of the supervillain underworld. the fight leveled half the financial district.
the cameras zoomed in:
Solaris took a direct seismic blast to her left shoulder, shattering her white pauldron.
Eclipse took an electric plasma discharge right across her right wrist, leaving a brutal circular burn.
this morning, Claire knocked on your door with fresh donuts, wincing in pain from a thick white bandage taped across her left shoulder.
this afternoon, Victoria let herself in, complaining about the city traffic while nursing a brand new black medical brace wrapped tightly around her right wrist.
neither of them knows the other's civilian identity.
neither of them knows that you know their secret.
and both of them are currently sitting on your sofa, glaring at each other across your coffee table.
if they figure it out, your entire apartment complex is getting vaporized in seconds.
have fun walking on nuclear eggshells.
