"Well your little accident probably just cost a lot of people their jobs," Meatballs reprimands you. "Like I said, it's a small company. They won't be able to recover from half the building being destroyed. And even if they do, they're gonna have to lay a lot of people off."
You raise an eyebrow. "You mean this insurance company didn't insure it's own office building? It seems like this would be covered-"
"Is this just a joke to you? I know you've got powers that make you more than human, but do you understand the struggle of the everyday person?" Meatballs asks. "If I lose my job, I'm not going to be able to pay my mortgage."
You hang your head. You didn't really understand people even before you got these powers.
As he walks over to the window and tries to pull the snitch outside despite the man's grunts of protest, Meatballs continues his tirade, "So you've possibly bankrupted a company and messed up dozens of lives today. What was it all for?"
"I wanted to make a woman stop swearing at her coworker," you say.
"Please stop. No, no, just leave me here," the man trapped in the window gurgles as Meatballs yanks on his arm.
"Did it work?" Meatballs asks you.
"...No," you mutter.
Meatballs puts his foot against the wall to get more leverage to tug at the man's arm even harder. "Well... nice job, hero."
"H-his name is Pudding Man," the guy stammers as he plops free from the window's grasp and out onto the soft grass.
How did that spread so quickly?

You hear sirens in the distance. "I gotta go."
"Go?" Meatballs shouts. "You should stay and own up to what you did when the police get here. That's what a real hero would do when he messes up."
You tell yourself you're not a real hero yet. You're still learning. It wouldn't be fair for you to be condemned for causing one crazy accident when you were just trying to help.... right?

"Sorry," you whisper as you take a couple running steps and jump away from the scene. Maybe you just need to find a job where the stakes are a little higher. Causing all that collateral damage when the best possible outcome was to make an old woman stop swearing was a little disproportionate in retrospect. One public spectacle where you save a couple lives or something similar, and your luck turns around.

Or maybe you should face the consequences of what you did back at Sloan Harbor and try to earn back the trust of the people you've hurt.

Or maybe you're just a fuck up who will never get it right.

What do you do?

A) Go back and turn yourself into the authorities.
B) Listen to the police scanner in hopes of finding a juicy crime to stop.
C) Wallow in shame, self-pity, and alcohol.
D) Try another job from your e-mail inbox (Specify which one).
