Postgraduate work

“You’re in for it now, fox!” an amplified voice boomed out. “Come out and show yourself!”

Sonic sprang upright, going from asleep to ready-to-fight in moments. “Uh oh. It sounds like Eggman’s out for another fight!”

“Yeah, that’s what it sounds like to me, too!” Tails agreed.

He opened the door to his room, entering the main room where Sonic had been snoozing in front of the TV. “I guess we’d better see what’s going on! Maybe he’s got some evil scheme planned!”

“Evil schemes do seem like his thing!” Sonic agreed. “Let’s get this sorted out!”

“I wonder why he was asking about me, though,” Tails wondered.

Sonic was out of their house first, and he pointed at Eggman’s hovering Egg Calamity. “You’re going down, Eggman! Whatever your evil plan is, I’ll stop it at Sonic speed!”

“Gya ha ha!” Eggman laughed. “You do that, and your friend Mr. Prower will be sorry!”

“What are you threatening, Eggman?” Sonic asked. “You can’t stop me by threatening my friends, I’ll just save them and stop you like every time before!”

“This time, it’s different!” Eggman replied, then his voice got quieter. “Hold on, hold on, I put the script somewhere…”

“It’s there, boss,” a different voice said.

“I knew that!” Eggman griped, as the volume returned to normal. “Ahem! Miles Prower! This is a formal notice from the University of Central City! Your performance will-”

“Oh, I get it!” Tails realized. “Yeah, I should have known that was today!”

He tapped a watch on his wrist, and part of the ground rose up next to the house. It revealed a workshop, twice the size of the house, and a moderately giant robot stomped forwards to stand next to Tails.

“What are you talking about, little buddy?” Sonic asked. “I know this is Eggman so we’re going to beat him, guaranteed, but I usually have a better idea why I’m smacking him around…”

“Oh, please do!” Eggman requested.

“Sorry, Sonic, this is something I have to do myself,” Tails replied, climbing up into the cockpit of his robot, then flicking some switches. Four little mechanical bird robots flew out of hatches on the side, taking up positions to orbit around his main robot, and the whole thing took off as a pair of helicopter blades deployed.

“Aha!” the big man laughed. “Already, you demonstrate your ignorance of the field, Prower! Those airscrew blades might suffice for small distance, short range and low speed applications, but jet engines are far superior!”

“Au contraire!” Tails replied, spooling up the blades. “That’s true for a conventional airscrew, but as you’ll see on page five I’ve developed a novel form of airscrew that retains efficient power transfer up to three times the speed of sound! It’s based on my tails, naturally!”

“Grrrh!” Eggman grumbled. “Well, if that’s the case, then I’m sure you can get out of the way of my Egg Missiles!”

A dozen high-speed missiles flashed out at Tails’s robot, and the robo-flickies darted forwards. Their wings unsheathed to reveal monofilament blades, which diced the projectiles to pieces, and Tails launched his robot upwards in a high-speed jump that avoided the detonating remains of the attack.

Not content with that, Tails slewed his propellers to slide left instead, then right, and finally stopped moving in a hovering position behind Eggman’s Egg Calamity.

“As you can see, the propeller system can more rapidly reverse direction, and provide regenerative braking!” Tails said. “Which is exactly as I outlined on page six!”

“Uh,” Sonic asked, raising his hand.

“You haven’t had the last laugh, Prower!” Eggman seethed, spinning his Egg Calamity through a hundred and eighty degrees. “What about control mechanisms! It would be a shame if you were controlling your defensive drones through something… vulnerable to an electromagnetic pulse!”

The Egg Calamity crackled and fizzed, then detonated a pulse of electricity. Tails’s robot also fired out a pulse of electricity, negating the EMP Eggman had launched, and the flickies flew into a protective position between the two battle machines.

“Phase-inverted pulse protection!” Tails said proudly. “It’s not just an EMP generator built into the Dissertailstion, but it’s also-”

“You called it a what?” Eggman asked.

“Okay, okay, time out!” Sonic demanded. “What’s going on here?”

“He doesn’t know?” Eggman said, sounding baffled.

“Hey, cut him some slack!” Tails replied. “He’s not done much school… right, Sonic? I’m pretty sure I’d have remembered you doing a university course.”

Sonic began to protest, then remembered that both the other people in the conversation were the smartest people on the planet.

“Yeah, if this is a college thing I wouldn’t know,” he replied. “So what is it, then?”

“It’s simple!” Tails said. “I’m trying to get my degree in Advanced Super Technical Robotics, but I failed to anticipate ahead of time that the only other person on the planet able to evaluate my work was Dr. Ivo Robotnik!”

“Robotnik?” Sonic repeated. “Is that his real name?”

He snorted. “Wow. You mean Eggman was a choice?”

“Insolent hedgehog!” Eggman seethed.

“But that still doesn’t explain anything!” Sonic added. “Why did he turn up to fight you, and why can’t I help?”

Tails shrugged. “You can’t get someone else to help with your thesis defence.”

🎵 Disco Elysium, pt. 1

6. "Oh, god, no..."

KIM KITSURAGI - "I'm sorry, Harry. I'm so sorry."

INLAND EMPIRE [Trivial: Success] - Forty-one, Precinct 41. A massive pit opens up in your stomach and the most terrible feeling comes over you.

ENDURANCE [Medium: Failure] - You feel like you're about to faint and fall off the swing. Your hands get clammy and the air tastes sour to breathe.

VOLITION [Trivial: Success] - No! Just nope. Say no to this, Harry.

"No, no..."

"OH MY GOD, IT'S MINE, I DROVE MY CAR INTO THE SEA????!?!?!?!?!!!??!!!!" (Proceed.)

KIM KITSURAGI - "Yes, your car is in the sea. Face it so we can start dealing with this."

"No, I mean seriously, it's just a coincidence…"

"No, it's the street racer."

"OH MY GOD, IT'S MINE, I DROVE MY CAR INTO THE SEA????!?!?!?!?!!!??!!!!" (Proceed.)

KIM KITSURAGI - "There were never any street racers. It was always you. You drove your car in the sea."

"But Jacob Irw..."

KIM KITSURAGI - The lieutenant just shakes his head.

"OH MY GOD, IT'S MINE, I DROVE MY CAR INTO THE SEA????!?!?!?!?!!!??!!!!" (Proceed.)

-1 Morale

KIM KITSURAGI - "I'm afraid so, yes. It looks like you started in front of the Whirling, jumped over the canal and then drove your vehicle in the sea right here."

"Maybe I was in pursuit of someone."

"How do we get it out?"

"I can still fix it."

"I want it to be Jacob Irw, not me."

"They're not gonna take me back after this, are they?"

"The badge, the gun -- and now THIS."

"Things were going so well, we were just whistling merrily..."

"Well, at least I can see what's in there now." (Conclude.)

KIM KITSURAGI - "Of whom?" The lieutenant looks sceptical. "I don't think so. If anything... you were probably drunk."

🎵Disco Elysium, pt. 2

2. "How do we get it out?"

KIM KITSURAGI - "Detective," he says almost gently. "We *don't*. A rescue operation really isn't viable at this point."

2. "So it's just gonna *be* there like that?!"

KIM KITSURAGI - "I'm afraid it will have to *be* there like that for many years." He looks around. "Look at it -- parts of it might be salvageable, but overall this machine is a write-off."

2. "I can still fix it."

KIM KITSURAGI - "That is very unlikely," the lieutenant replies with a sigh. "All the electrics are toast. That goes for the electromagnetic steering and brake systems as well."

"You'd be *lucky* to find one undamaged component in there…" He shakes his head. "In a few months there will be nothing *but* rust left of this vehicle. It'll be cheaper to buy a new one…"

"Well, not *cheaper*. This motor carriage costs 40,000 reál... but in the long run it stills makes more sense to buy a new machine than try to refurbish this."

"I don't have that kind of money."

"People are gonna be angry at me, aren't they? In Precinct 41."

"THIS IS A DISASTER."

KIM KITSURAGI - "Let's face it, this is a substantial loss to your district's budget." He's avoiding your gaze now. "I mean, my station only has four other vehicles in addition to my Kineema..."

LOGIC [Medium: Success] - This was 20% of the station's vehicular budget?

3. "I want it to be Jacob Irw, not me."

KIM KITSURAGI - "Well, it isn't. It's you. I'm very sorry."

4. "They're not gonna take me back after this, are they?"

KIM KITSURAGI - "People are more valuable than machines." He's trying to cheer you up now. "Training a police officer is even more costly."

5. "The badge, the gun -- and now THIS."

KIM KITSURAGI - The lieutenant adjusts his glasses and doesn't say anything.

INLAND EMPIRE [Easy: Success] - There is also a *fourth* thing you've lost.

A... fourth thing?

I don't wanna hear about that.

INLAND EMPIRE - More precious than the gun, the badge and the motor carriage *combined*. Lost forever. Into the deepest of seas.

6. "Things were going so well, we were just whistling merrily..."

KIM KITSURAGI - "You can still whistle," the lieutenant says with a smile. "Besides, the night is always darkest before the dawn."

7. "Well, at least I can see what's in there now." (Conclude.)

KIM KITSURAGI - "Yes. Let's go take a look."

Task complete: Find the traffic hooligan

+10 XP

There are two things in the motor carriage.

RCM COMMANDER'S JACKET

+1 Esprit de Corps: United in black +1 Visual Calculus: Sharp eye

A black uniform jacket with RCM's signature white rectangle on its right sleeve and backside. Letters inside the collar read: LTN-2JFR. The jacket is of exceptional quality, other than some minor wear-and-tear.

RCM BADGE "LTN-2JFR DU BOIS"

Thick blue piece of acryllic, covering a thin leaf of paper with the officer's name and rank on it. Next to the writing you see a man stare back at you -- a younger version of *you*, already disintegrating inside, but still presentable on the outside.

>INTERACT

BADGE: LTN-2JFR DU BOIS - A police badge on which you see the photo of a man -- you. Some seaweed is stuck to the back.

"I found my badge!"

KIM KITSURAGI - "At least *something* good came out of all this." The lieutenant glances at the badge in your hands.

Task complete: Track down your badge

+10 XP

Study the badge.

[Leave.]

BADGE: LTN-2JFR DU BOIS - Encased between two durable plastic sheets is a bluish card with lines of information -- and a watermark in the shape of the street grid of Revachol West.

You see: a photo, a name, a rank, a document number, the date of issue, and -- in the lower right corner -- your precinct.

Look at the photo.

"Name: Harrier du Bois..."

"Rank: LTN-2JFR?"

"Serial: REV12-62-05-JAM41..."

"Date of issue: 7th of November, '50..."

"Precinct: 41?"

Put the badge away. [Leave.]

BADGE: LTN-2JFR DU BOIS - The man keeps winking at you with his green-grey eyes. The photo is old, no doubt about that.

LOGIC [Medium: Success] - But the badge is new. You used an old photo for a new badge.

SUGGESTION [Easy: Success] - Good choice. A newer photo would look... different.

How old?

BADGE: LTN-2JFR DU BOIS - Eight, maybe ten years. The guy in the picture is rather good looking. He's got a nice haircut and is distinctly lacking in massive sideburns.

And he's winking? Why?

BADGE: LTN-2JFR DU BOIS - Why do you think? His face is already contorted by the Expression. Although it looks less grotesque on him than it does on you now.

The badge in your hands shines as you rotate it, catching light. You see lines of information on it. And a shining watermark.

2. "Name: Harrier Du Bois..."

KIM KITSURAGI - "'Harrier,' that's long for 'Harry'. So you *are* Harry..." He thinks. "Evrart was half right. Probably not a lot of people know your full name. Whoever told him you're Harry Du Bois didn't."

+5 XP

"Strange. It doesn't say Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau."

"Wait, what kind of name is 'Harrier'?"

"But… I don't *want* to be Harrier Du Bois." (Don't accept it.)

"Harrier Du Bois it is, then." (Accept it.)

KIM KITSURAGI - "Not strange at all -- your name is Harrier Du Bois. Like it says on your police badge."

"Wait, what kind of name is 'Harrier'?"

KIM KITSURAGI - "It's a wartime name. Revolutionary. The kind mothers give their sons during troubled times. Like 'Undying' or 'Boxer' or 'Ironhide'."

CONCEPTUALIZATION [Medium: Success] - A name like armour.

A remix of such hits as:

The monowheel, which was subject to "gerbiling," which is how folks referred to the problem of operators spinning around inside the wheel if they accelerated or hit the brakes too quickly 😂

Ford's "Nucleon" nuclear-powered car. Need I say more?

The Maglev "Startram train" concept, a giant electromagnetic catapult system to yeet craft into space without using so much fuel

Cold War-era jet train concept. Would've consumed so much fuel, & at speeds of 250-350 km/h, one minor issue on the rail line could've led to catastrophic derailments.

Except the Stoppables weren't stopped at the conceptual level 😭 nobody said, "wait, this is dumb, nvm"

How effective is aluminum magnet?

One of the quick easy ways to identify certain metals is through a magnet. Although iron and steel may share the commonality of being attractive to magnets, there are others, such as aluminum and gold, that are not. Here's a closer look at how a magnet interacts with aluminum as well as how you can test for gold with a magnet.

Are Aluminum Magnets Possible?

No, aluminum is a nonferrous metal, meaning it does not contain iron and is not attracted to magnets. Strong neodymium magnets aren't able to attract aluminum, but an aluminum-based material can produce an interesting interaction when subjected to a passing motion by a strong magnet. A small electric current is induced in the aluminum magnet by a passing magnet, causing a small resistance-an effect sometimes used in braking systems and demonstrating principles of electromagnetism.

Testing for Gold Using a Magnet

Gold magnet test is another metal that is not magnetic. Pure gold cannot be attracted to a magnet, so magnetic testing can be a pretty good first step in determining if any piece of jewelry or other object is made of real gold. To conduct the test simply place a strong magnet that is about the size of a neodymium magnet near the item. If the object attracts the magnet, then it might not be pure gold because such an object may contain other metals like iron or nickel.

A good quality aluminum magnet is an excellent tool for those handling metals, or simply looking for a convenient way to test materials at home. The best power magnets available, from household to industrial applications, are offered by handymagnets.com, wherein one will easily differentiate between metals that contain magnetic properties and those that do not.

Reality is overrated.

My teammate Bloodsmear thinks the best way to torture people is to use sharp knives and so much pain that the human brain cannot comprehend anymore. But that’s the point. Why limit yourself to what the human brain could realistically handle? If that is the limitation of your imagination, then I can only feel sorry for you.

And sure, ethics.

You know that famous trolley problem? Where you need to decide to flip the switch and kill one person in order to save five? I’ve never liked it. It presupposes that you accept a world with rail tracks and people tied down on them, where they are constantly in the danger of being run over by a train that was manufactured without strong brakes. Why put all the focus on the individual and what is the most ethical way to minimise suffering as personal responsibility?

The way I see it, the system is broken and nothing inside of it matters. And ethics is just the fancy word heroes use to condemn villains like me.

Who cares how much money I steal? Money is just a construct that is no more real than the nightmares I create. Yet people get all serious about it, and then dismiss my carefully crafted art as mere illusions.

Yeah. People are hypocrites.

I’ve gotten used to it. My dad used to bring me along to his job. He thought I needed a good honest work ethic like him. It was somewhat unorthodox to homeschool a child and then bring them to a factory, but it was not the weirdest arrangement for the mentally divergent. There weren’t many schools willing to accommodate me after all.

He was employed by a fish processing plant. All day long he would take the fish that was dropped on the conveyer belt and adjust it so that the machine would accept it. Mind numbing work that required no thought and yet was complicated enough that he had not been replaced with a machine yet.

And on the worst days, at his request, I would lull him into a rhythm and add illusion over it. His favourite sports games playing before his eyes. Add in the friends he wanted to see. The food he wanted to eat. A whole world that was kinder to him than the real world was. I dug through his thoughts and I practiced each day to make it better. All the while I sat in the corner doing my homework and browsing the internet when I was done.

And he needed me. Dad’s psychic powers were far too weak to do something like creating fantasy realms. He was only a limited empath, with an above average ability to interpret other’s emotions. But it was enough to be put on the government’s registry, just like I was. He had to disclose his status for every job and most wanted nothing to do with him as soon as he learned.

He may not have been much, but he knew all the rules that white men in white coats in white ivory towers had decided were important. Dad knew enough to teach those rules to me. I had to stick to surface skimming of dad’s thoughts. I was not allowed to go deeper. I was like Red Riding Hood and I needed to stick to the trail or I would be lost.

But dad still hated his job and I wanted to make him happy. Mom came from a religious household who had disowned her when she married someone with psychic abilities. While she always said she loved me, I could still feel the lingering resentment in her most private thoughts. She worked hard in her job to provide for us, but it was dad whom I was closest with.

I took small detours at first, trying to find out if it was as dangerous as everyone said it was. Some infomercials had described it as quick sand. One foot in and you are stuck forever. Just like they claim one hit of marijuana will inevitably lead to a cocaine overdose. It was scaremongering. I did not lose myself. My dad did not notice. And those scary psychic detectors that are hung up everywhere did not notice either.

Just as I expected. The government claimed they could detect us, but our psychic abilities are linked to the electromagnetic spectrum. I measured the power of mine once, because I wanted to see if I could mimic Magneto’s powers. But it was a fucking joke. When I strained myself to my limits, I could generate the same electrical field as a television set. Not undetectable, but no way that the government could pick up on my electrical waves in the middle of a factory with heavy machinery.

I still waited two months to make sure no fine was delivered. No warning from the big brothers who were supposed to be watching us all the time.

Knowing I was safe, I continued.

That’s when I learned about my dad’s affair. No, I’m sorry. His affairs, plural.

Dad stopped being my favourite after that.

I made it a sport to include his deepest anxieties in a world that he thought I made to make him happy. His most frequent dalliance was with a woman named Rose, and I included small Rose motives in the clothing of the characters I made for him. He ended each work day on edge, guilty and uncomfortable without knowing why.

The affairs stopped. Dad broke it off with them and I gave him a reprieve for that. But I did not forgive him.

I went through mom’s memories to figure out how she would react if I told her. It turned out she already knew. But she thought the only thing that would make her life worse was a divorce. Part of it was the fear that she would end up with me. She thought she had been hiding the part of her that felt resentment and her worst fear was that one day I would learn the truth about how she felt. Each day she said she loved me and she told dad that she loved him.

I was raised by hypocrites and I quickly decided I would never become like them.

Needless to say, I got out of there as soon as I could. Found a gang online that wanted someone of my talents and I started to make a name for myself. I went through an awkward teenage phase, where I needed to shield my head with tin foil because I had the power to be a vigilante but not the money.

Yes, the Sandman, one of America’s worst villains, started out as a vigilante. Get your laughs out. We all did embarrassing things when we were younger.

Back then I thought a vigilante was the anti-hero, finding justice in ways the normal heroes were too weak to handle. I had not yet learned the lesson all villains eventually learn. That a vigilante breaks the rules to uphold the system. Us villains, we’ve realised that upholding the system shouldn’t be the goal at all.

You want to know something about that precious reality everyone holds so dear? Killing one person gets you thrown in jail. Killing a million makes you a billionaire.

That’s how I know reality is overrated. Every one of us is living a delusion. For some it’s justice, for some it’s equality, for some democracy. I’m just honest about how much I prefer the illusions.

If you want to know more, I write a blog on the dark web called Truth of the Totality. There’s a slight chance if you don’t have psychic powers that you go insane. I tell everyone it’s a precaution, but really it’s just a side-effect of my mental abilities that I can’t be bothered with investigating.

Over the years, I’ve run into many heroes. And I fight them the only way I know how: reading their minds and creating a personalised hell scape just for them. You would think they would be predictable. Loved ones dying, losing their powers, captured and tortured. You would think that because it’s true. Most heroes are simple and predictable.

But, when I want to be extra cruel, I give them a lesson in the truths of the world. I show them that the bank they’re protecting just closed mortgages on hundreds of people who will now die out in the streets. I show them that the villain they considered collateral damage had a family, friends, and a complex life of their own. I show them that everything they believe in is built like a house of cards, and then I bring the tempest.

Bloodsmear gets heroes to scream. I get them to cry.

With all of this, I should have made it perfectly clear. I am better than Bloodsmear. I get better results and I make what I do an art. I have more experience too, and I am the far more attractive human.

Which is why it confounds me that it took the Gullies three whole days before bringing me in.

“I’ll be paid double.” I demand, already walking with them to the interrogation chamber.

“Everyone gets an equal share. That’s what we all promised each other.” Bloodsmear whines.

“And perhaps if you had included me in the original negotiatios, I would agree to it.”

Piran-Ha sighs. “You know, this is why you don’t get invited for these jobs. You’re obnoxious.”

“I’m not here to make friends.”

“Clearly.” Bloodsmear says under their breath.

“If you can get the information, you’ll get double within thirty minutes.” Piran-Ha says.

“I’ll only need five.” I sigh, rolling my eyes.

“You always say that, but this is a complicated one. We need the precise location and the password.”

“I always say it, because I’m always right.”

The room reeks of blood, sweat and shit. The victim looks hardly alive. He is already a whimpering mess the moment we step into the room, needing minutes to compose himself. I can feel his thoughts as they are forming, despite his best efforts to put up a shield. He longs for the suffering to end, but he is not going to break. He has been trained to resist torture and he knows how much time he’s been able to waste from giving wrong information.

I place my hand on his head. I’ll need to wash my gloves after this. His memories are too well guarded. This is a hero who has kept up with his mental exercises. But that is not the problem others psychics make it out to be.

It is like he has made a mental library and all the important books are locked away in glass cupboards. I can still see the titles. See that the memories exist. For some purposes, that is already enough. And for others… nobody’s mind is so disciplined that they can protect everything. This hero has tried to hide away the childhood traumas that I could most easily use to manipulate him, but I have the rest of his life and childhood to play with.

Let’s start with the person who does the torturing. That will be Bella, the cute black barista from his coffee shop that he’s been meaning to ask out. She was unlawfully arrested a few weeks ago by the hero’s colleagues and the hero refused to step up. Some hero.

The location is easy. He might have locked up his biggest phobias, but there is no lack of ways for humans to feel fear. The top of a skyscraper, with all the ledges removed. And then just the method remaining. With someone that’s hiding this much, that’s also easy.

Bella is poking at his chest angrily, holding a file that holds all his secrets. She is saying that I cracked his defences and that she has all of that dirt on him right there. A ledge right behind him that he might fall off if he isn’t careful. She is reminding him of all the minor dirt that has already been released, how all of the hero’s friends have abandoned him and how all his colleagues have turned against him. His precious reputation is in shatters and the file will only make it worse. It will be his decision to prevent its release. All he has to do is give up a little bit of information.

He does not even need to tell her. All he needs to do is consider it. Because in so doing, he is looking inside of the cupboards that are supposed to stay locked. And if he’s looking, I can see too.

Not just the location of the object of interest, not just the passcode, but all of the other dirt he had been trying to hide. The times he saw his friends sexually assault a young women and he was too scared to step in. The times the police were too rough on suspects, including multiple deaths, where he had testified to their professionalism. His brother had boasted about the war crimes he had committed, and the hero had done nothing.

So quick to strike what society had labelled a villain. So reluctant to speak out against his friends.

“I have the info.” I say, leaving my hand on his head.

“Then why is he still under?”

“We wouldn’t want him to escape, now would we?” I grin, as I stop holding back.

Now that I have everything, it can all be used to hurt. His biggest phobia is drowning and he got special dispensation not to train against water boarding. I place him in a glass chamber where he is chained to the floor and the water is slowly rising. He struggles and screams, but there will be no freedom. Just the faces of those he wronged looking at him in anger and disgust.

I lock his mind behind him. For a weak mind, that could be weeks of torture. For a disciplined man like him, it will take at least an hour before he remembers it’s only an illusion and he can come out of it. Long enough for us to finish the job.

“Will there be anything left of him after we give him back to the Heroes?” Piran-Ha asks with some annoyance in her voice.

“Nothing a few years of therapy can’t fix.” I smirk.

~*~

The Ancient Mesopotamian artifact was being kept in an abandoned factory. It messed with more advanced security systems and therefore it was thought that there would be more security through obscurity. A powerful hero team would do the security, except that would just point attention to it.

Just a single passcode that was needed to enter the building and then the rest was going to be easy.

Three small guards. And then we would have the manifestation of liberty. Something hackers would pay us for through our teeth.

Piran-Ha takes the hero on the left. She is the power house, after all, and should take the hero that is the strongest of them. Bloodsmear takes the hero on the right, the one that is wielding a sword and should be bested by a weapon’s master.

And that leaves the last hero to me. A nervous teenager. Just a boy. But if he’s a hero, he’s fair game.

“You can’t steal this.” The boy says. “Please.”

“You can only accept the stealing concept if you buy into the whole property illusion first. And I’m more selective in what illusions I amplify.”

The boy, Proliferate, runs towards me.

I’m not much of a fighter, but I can handle children just fine. I see the punch he is planning to throw and easily dodge it. He has some training, but no experience. It allows us to dance as I pick apart his powers.

It’s a stock building effect. He is a little stronger than normal people, but each subsequent hit will be harder and harder. He also becomes increasingly immunised against the violence done to him. I can see the training sessions where his peers try to finish their spars quickly while Proliferate draws them out. The longer it continues, the better his chances.

But that’s only true if he lands his hits, which he’s not doing at the moment. Or if the villains are attacking him. Which I’m not doing either.

“You’ll get tired before I do.” I taunt.

“Don’t underestimate my stamina.”

And yes, the stamina is impressive. Let’s see if he has the same stubborn streak when it comes to his convictions? It’s not like I need to put all my attention on the fight.

I step off Proliferate’s forest path and start digging, already brainstorming the ideas for the hell I’ll put him in.

He’s a legacy hero. Fifth generation and raised from birth to be a hero. The most expensive schools, the best tutors to work on his powers, isolated in an ivory tower of righteousness. These are the most fun heroes to break.

But when I look for the convictions I know he must have, I only find contradictions.

This boy, Ike, believes all heroes are hypocrites.

It’s refreshing, if nothing else.

But he’s still a hero, so there should still be something left to teach him. But as I scour, I just find more observations. Ike found a boy who was being bullied while other heroes stood by and watched. He reported the bullies and the other witnesses. The teachers tried to cover up the incident to preserve the school’s reputation and Ike was simply added to the bullied kids.

Ike has protested against police brutality and seen both the ways those protests go wrong, and how quick the heroes are to shift the blame away from the cops who escalated.

He once saw his dad beat a suspect to death and saw how the old hero’s media team spun it into a self-defence case. When Ike had leaked his own version of events anonymously, the throw-away account he had used was suspended within minutes. When he kept trying, the Hero Agency called to let him know they had discovered what he was trying to do and that he needed to stop or face libel charges. Or worse, let Ike’s father know what Ike was trying to do.

Which leads to the memory where his parents sent Ike to a gay conversion camp, with full support of the Hero Agency who did not want to back a queer hero.

Jesus f’ing Christ. Why the hell is this boy still a hero?

Oh.

That’s why.

I can see the day that he decided to run away from home and his mother tracking him down and dragging him back. He was locked into his room and only let out to be yelled at and beaten by his father. They kept that up for two weeks until he begged for forgiveness and promised never to do it again.

He tried telling a guidance counsellor at school what had happened. They stressed the importance of staying silent. How much good his parents had done for the world and how foolish it would be to tarnish that good reputation with unsubstantiated accusations. Besides, they could have done much worse if they had turned Ike into the police. A missing superhero was presumed a villain. Did Ike think the police would have been kinder to him?

“Life has not been kind to you.” I say.

And I can see that it hits him worse than any blow would have. “I’ve never been really good at keeping up with my mental defence exercises.”

“Do you know how my ability works?”

“Yeah. You’re infamous, Sandman. You trap people in personalized hellscapes. I hoped to get a surprise hit in before you were finished reading me. I don’t stand a chance anymore if you’re done. I’m sure there’s enough for you to pick from.”

“I like to think I give people what they deserve.”

“Whatever you have to tell yourself, man.” He swallows, and the anxiety is building. He is remembering the worst moments of his life and wondering how much worse I have in store for him. “It’s all bullshit. You’re just on one side and I’m on the other. You’re out there traumatising people and you think you’re some cosmic harbinger of justice?”

“Nothing so special. Just someone who knows what he wants and doesn’t care what it takes to get it. At least I’m honest about it.”

“You might be the first person I’ve ever met who isn’t a hypocrite.”

I smirk. “You should hang around with more villains.”

“You know I still can’t let you pass. Not unless you knock me out. My mom and dad will kill me if I just let you go.”

“Yeah.” I put my hand on his head and there is no resistance. He is done fighting. “It’ll be over soon.”

I start with the person. It has to be Dave, the boy Ike met in his conversion therapy. They had bonded over their shared hatred of their parents and had grown closer. They had been careful to hide their growing affection from the counsellors, talking in secret whispers. When they had parted, they had promised to find each other again as soon as it would be safe.

The location is drawn from Ike’s fantasy. A cabin in the woods that they had hoped to escape to. Somewhere far away from his mother’s trackers or the Hero Agency’s surveillance. It is surrounded with woodland, densely populated with animals to hunt for food, and construction material for Ike’s woodworking.

Dave is building a fire for him, to stave off the winter cold. There’s not much food or water and the house is almost falling apart. It’s not a perfect life, but it’s a much happier one than either of them have ever had before.

They build a barn and take care of injured animals together. Dave is under less scrutiny and, wearing a heavy disguise, he chances a few visits to the nearest village. He brings back books and entertainment. And a deal with the local grocer so they can sell some of the fruits and vegetables from their garden. Dave hears about the bigotry in the village and soon they start hosting other queer people running away from home.

Ike listens to their stories and tells them it is wrong how they were treated. And then gives them all the love and support that he wished he could have gotten when he came out. Ike’s not even sad when the news breaks his parents died by the hands of the League of Villains. It mostly makes him realise he doesn’t think about them at all anymore.

“He looks young.” Piran-Ha says, wiping the blood off her gloves. “I regret making you deal with him.”

“He’s a teenager. And he’ll grow from the experience.”

“Ha!” Bloodsmear staggers towards us, one of his legs hurt enough that he has to limp. “It’s never your nightmares they grow from, Sandman. It’s the therapy they’re forced into afterwards.”

“How long will he be out?”

“I didn’t lock his mind, but he’s not very disciplined. It’ll take him a few hours to realise he’s trapped in an illusion.”

“Damn.” Bloodsmear whistles. “Sucks to be him.”

“Let’s not waste anymore time.” Piran-Ha orders us. “We have a job to finish.”

~*~

It’s been three weeks since the robbery and I should not be risking it. The hospital is heavily guarded and none of my villain contacts were willing to help me. They laughed in my face for suggesting it.

But I have to make sure.

I smoke outside, lifting out memories from the workers how the place is run. When there is a change in shifts, I make one of the nurses forget to throw their uniform in the laundry after their shift. I slip into the changing room and dress the part. I get a security badge and slowly make my way upstairs.

The hero ward is high up and there are many check-points that I need to sneak past. There is some technology, but most of it is humans. And humans have never been an obstacle for me, as long as I have the time to study them.

Passed the Hero ICU, passed the Hero recovery wards, all the way to long-term care.

Many villains have condemned me for what I have done to the young hero Proliferate. There is an unwritten rule amongst villains that we go easy on the younger generation. Of course there are villains who congratulated me too, but those are the kind of villains I wouldn’t be caught dead with.

The news has been obsessed by the story. Legacy Hero Proliferate, struck down in a normal patrol by a random act of violence. Since nobody knows what he was protecting, nobody understands the villains’ motivations. That did not stop them from naming me as the most probable perpetrator. And I can endure the hypocrisy of condemning me for a single attack while the hero parents have been excused for far worse attacks in far greater quantity.

As long as I did not screw up.

Ike is lying peacefully in his bed. He is breathing and he is still trapped in my illusion. A disciplined mind would have snapped through it in minutes. Ike is undisciplined, but even he should have become aware within a few hours. If he is especially weak, it should have taken at most a day. Knowing that he is still under, I have been worried I left a few locks behind by instinct.

But as I place my hand on his head, I am confirmed. There are no locks.

His parents have called him a martyr. They have promised to wait as long as it takes for the effects to wear off. There have been reports showing them crying next to his bed, shaking him, begging him to wake up again. They are angry, but not at Ike. At the villain who took their boy away. In his infirmity, Ike has been granted a freedom he never could have achieved in life.

There are no locks. There is but one conclusion. Ike knows that he’s living in an illusion. His mind has long since realised.

And he has chosen to stay in the dreamworld.

I can’t help but smile as I leave the boy behind and go on my merry way. He’s happy and it is his choice where he wants to live.

Reality is overrated anyway.

You are a telepathic supervillain that uses their powers to create the perfect personalised hellscape for every hero. But when you peer into the mind of the newest hero you find that they are a complete mental wreck and honestly you just feel sorry for them.
