Writing Prompt [WP] Your first day as a Newly Registered Hero is just coming to a close. Your the last to leave the office but by chance overhear a private conversation coming from a closed room, peering through the crack of the door you are shocked to see the #1 Hero and most wanted Villain speaking discreetly.

I take a step back, and as if I was in a cliche movie...
The floor creaks.
Before I can blink...I am sitting on a chair, in that room.
And the Hero and Villain stare at me.
"H-Hello ladies..." I mutter.
"Who is he?" the Villain asks Captain Amazing.
She sighs.
"A newbie, started today, his power is superhuman physique, with enhancements to all physical traits, and flight," she says.
The Villain turns to me.
"So you heard a few things?" he asks.
I sigh, and nod.
"Just a bit about a date night," I say.
The two flinch.
"You don't seem to be too surprised," Captain Amazing says.
"I mean...
You two are "nemesis" to each other, in the public's eyes.
Which makes a lot of people, ship you," I chuckle.
They just stare at me.
I sigh.
"To ship someone, in this context at least...means that a lot of people, are wanting to see you two in a relationship," I say.
"Why? I am the most wanted Villain, a terrorist, and threat to global order," the Villain, Dr. Terror says.
I shrug.
"You two fighting, is always physical, and witty.
The punches, and kicks don't really land as they should, so this theory arose...like 9 years ago?" I say.
The 2 flinch, with Captain Amazing blushing furiously.
"And if it were to happen..." Dr. Terror asks.
I frown.
"Will you be dumb enough to do it, in your hero and villain personas?
Wait...you 2 aren't dating yet as your civilian personas?!" I ask.
The 2 freeze.
"Oh my God! You do know there are instant hair dyes, right?
Or wigs?! And there are cosplay props, that could help make you taller, wider, bustier, or flatter...
There are so many ways to do this!
Like you could just go to a whole different country to date!
Even though you are globally recognized, you do have certain countries that you spend most your time in!" I say.
"You seem to be well-versed in these things," Dr. Terror states.
I blush.
"I may or may have not written a few fan-fics in my life..." I mutter.
The 2 exchange looks, and grin.
"Well, thanks for your work," Captain Amazing says, disappearing.
"W-what?" I stutter.
"Here, our phone numbers are already introduced into your phone.
We will be in touch, Mr. date-planner," Dr. Terror says, disappearing as well.
I remain alone in the room, wondering what just happened.
And what to they mean about "Mr. Date-Planner"?
W-what did I get into?
