It all started with a thud. Morgan slammed the door open “alright who the fuck just ran into the side of my apartment?” Looking around they see Chad slumped against the side of their building unconscious. “Oh how the mighty have fallen!” Morgan hears this and turns to see a gloating villain in a fancy looking suit who was sauntering down the street. As the villain approached the slumped body, Morgan cleared their through and said “ Are you the one that caused this hero to run into my building?” The villain looks up and sees someone covered in grease and with a smoking shirt. “And what if I am, what is a short nobody with a smoking shirt gonna do about it?”
Morgan looks down and notices that the sleeve of their shirt is still smoking from where they hastily put out the flame as they ran out of their apartment in rage. They stood up taller and said “I am going to make you clean and rebuild the death trap that I have been building for the past 14 hours straight. You just made it go off before it was complete and ruined all my plans.” Morgan started pacing back and forth halfway through their mini rant, then started walking straight towards the strange villain. They had to look up a little to make sure they were going to grab the right location, then pinched the other villains ear and started pulling them towards the building. “You have no regard for anyone else and what they are doing. I am going to give you a piece of my mind as you help me.” If they weren’t so tired and full of rage they might have had the clear thought in their head that they were dragging the S tier villain into their home like they were a misbehaving child.
Alex followed along in a daze, this was the first person outside of their mom who had treated them like a misbehaving child. Did this crazy person not know who they were? They were the only S ranked villain in this solar system, everyone should know about them. After being dragged into the apartment Alex almost fell over a random bunch of springs and gears that looked like they had been thrown around with no regards to where they landed. After their ear was released and the person who had the audacity to pull them along, pointed over to a pile of metal that looks like it exploded "clean" they said. “Why the hell do you have so many piles of crap around your house? No wonder your so called Death Trap fell apart so easily. It looks like a hunk of junk.” Alex had no idea why they were giving critique on anything puzzle like, as they didn’t know and didn't care how to solve these types of problems. They just use their powers or raw strength to solve any problem they have.
Morgan turns around, mouth agape at the comment that the other just made. “I will have you know that once this death trap is complete no amount of shaking will break it. You just so happened to catch me while I was still working on the grounding portion.” Shaking their head they point across the room. “Anyway my name is Morgan and I am to tired to fight with you right now so,” they gestured over to the corner, “the cleaning supplies are over there. Since this is mostly as you called it Junk now I am going to have you clean up the grease and gears that have flown all over my apartment and bring them over to me to organize.” Morgan started picking at the main area and organizing the gears and supplies back into their designated space. Whispering to themselves “Fuck, this was supposed to be a part of my scheme to trap Barnaby tomorrow. Guess I will have to tell them it’s cancelled. I haven’t gotten enough sleep to start this over again.”
Alex with their super hearing was surprised to hear this Morgan person talking as if they were buddies with the person they were building a death trap for. After thinking for a little while Alex decided that they would go along with this for now just to see what happens. “Since you gave me your name, my name is Alex. I will help with this only because you are tired and I don’t feel like starting a fight with another person at this moment.” They picked up the gears and brought them over to where Morgan was sitting. “Is it okay if I just use my powers to get the grease picked up? It will be quicker and I can even clean up all the dirt on the floors while I’m at it.”
“How the hell did you throw Chad at the building hard enough to shake it if your power is cleaning?” Morgan asked as they yawned and started to slump over the table. Alex responded with “well obviously that isn’t the full extent of my powers. I have unlimited powers and super strength although most people wont believe that.” Alex turns to see if Morgan had any reaction to hearing they were all powerful, only to notice that Morgan had passed out at the sorting table. Their face was squished against a pile of gears but they were out cold. Since Alex was intrigued by this oddball of a person they decided to pick them up and find their bedroom so that they would at least not wake up sore. Alex cleaned the apartment with their powers and decided come back and check on Morgan tomorrow. Partly out of curiosity and partly to see if they even remembered this interaction at all
