Flex Titan awakens in his subterranean abode to the blaring of an alarm.

He stumbles out
of bed and navigates through his sprawling mansion of polished stone and high-tech
furnishings to reach the gym, where he begins a vigorous workout routine.

Flex Titan heads to the kitchen to fix a hefty breakfast. He plops himself down in front
of the TV to catch up on the news and devour his meal. But before he can even take a
bite, a piercing screech fills the air, sending him jumping out of his seat in shock.

It's the sound of a distress signal. A electric surge of excitement runs through his body.
He rushes to the screen, where he sees the flashing red light and urgent message calling
for his help. Without hesitation, he dons his super suit. Using his unlimited stretching
powers, he stretches to the size of a skyscraper and leaps throughout the city.

The sounds of chaos grow louder as he approaches the scene. He can see smoke rising
from the buildings and hear the thunderous booms of buildings being toppled. As the
unidentified monster rampaged across the city, the monster let out a primal,
bloodcurdling scream which sent shockwaves across the city.

Flex Titan’s excitement could not be held any longer, the closer he got, the images of the
crowd and fellow heroes cheering his name enveloped his conscious.

Flex Titan climbs on top the towering Pearl Tower, scanning the battlefield from its
dizzying heights. He analyses every angle, every movement, searching for the villain.
Suddenly, Flex Titan spots a single entity amidst the chaos, and his heart pounds with
anticipation. “This is it, this is my time to shine” Flex Titan said gleaming with pride with
his fists clenched.

Flex Titian exclaims with a fearless leap. "Here goes nothing!" Flex Titan hurtles towards
the ground, his sights locked on the target, a large 20-foot monster.
“Finally... Flex Titan I meet you at last! You came into our peaceful land of the lizards and
took everything from me, I am here to avenge my people as your people have drove us near
extinction. You left me, a child to survive on my own and now you will pay!” The monsters
scream was coupled with rage and animosity.

Flex Titan lands on the ground, causing a thunderous shockwave echoing through the lizards
body. He suddenly received a distress call in his intercom from the nearby heroes. “Flex
Titan! Do you request any help? We can send nearby heroes to you for assistance” However,
Flex Titan ignores the call and hangs up, thinking he is the only hero capable of defeating
this monster.

"You dare to challenge me, puny human? You shall pay the price!" The monster roars
mockingly with devious laughter.

Flex Titan replies confidently with a grin, "Bring it on, big guy!"

Punch after punch, swing after swing, no one seemed to budge. Flex Titan was tired but not
ready to quit, he had worked so hard and trained endlessly not for him to be defeated in front
of all his fans. The whole city was watching, he couldn’t let the people down, the one source
of fuel Flex Titan never had enough of, was the people’s validation.

Flex with his quick thinking, saw a small house near the end of the street. Using his flex
powers, he leaped across multiple buildings. Flex Titan ripped up the buildings from the
ground and threw it right at the monster, completely disregarding the civilians who lived
there. The attack blinded the monster, using this opportunity, Flex Titan coiled his body
around the monster, rendering him immobile.

 *~15 years later~*

After multiple years, Flex Titans daily schedule remained the same. The was still the public’s
favorite hero. On a day like any other, he received a distress signal from his fortress. Thinking it
was a day just like any other, Flex Titan leaped into the city center to apprehend the villain.

“I’ve been waiting for this for a long time and now I finally get to get my revenge!” screeched
Iron Skull with rage and pain.

“Have we met before? ”Flex Titan said with a puzzled look as it was the first time he had ever
met this man.

“Just another crazy person from the streets” Flex Titan mumbled. “Well come on then”
demanded Flex Titan.

The two engage in a fierce battle, exchanging blows that echo throughout the city. Flex Titan's
movements were fluid and precise, his combat training evident in every strike. Iron Skull is
equally skilled, his high-tech battle suit gave him the abilities of supernatural strength, agility,
and flight. making him a formidable adversary.

Just when it seems like Flex Titan has the upper hand, another hero by the name of Cyborg
enters the fray. But Flex Titan refuses to team up with anyone else. “HEY!” Flex Titan exclaims,
"I work alone, pal! Don’t steal the limelight!"

As the two are bickering, Iron Skull seizes the opportunity to strike. Flex Titan is caught off
guard and takes a devastating right hook across the chin that sends him flying across the
battlefield, destroying multiple buildings during the process. “HAHAHAH, arguing in the
middle of a battle? Are you belittling me?!” Before Flex Titan could get up, Iron Skull jumps on
top of him, pounding his skull into the rocks. His barrage of fists continue as Flex Titans
unconscious body lay limp on the debris. “YOU DID THIS TO ME! YOU MURDERED MY
FAMILY!”

Cyborg tries to tackle Iron Skull to the ground, a desperate attempt to save Flex Titan. It was too
late - Iron Skull has already fled the scene. Flex Titan lies on the ground, gravely injured and
defeated.

Flex Titan lay motionless on the ground, battered and bruised from his battle with Iron Skull. As he
drifted in and out of consciousness, a shadowy figure approached him. It was the hero he had encountered earlier.

Without a word, Cyborg scooped up Flex Titan and carried him to a nearby car. As they climbed in, the hero
pressed a button on the dashboard, and the car disappeared from view, camouflaged by advanced technology.

After what felt like an eternity, the car pulled up to a hidden entrance, and the hero carried Flex Titan inside. The
sanctuary was like nothing he had ever seen before. It was a high-tech fortress, filed with state-of-the-art
equipment and top-of-the-line medical facilities.

Flex Titan drifts into unconsciousness once again, trusting that he was in good hands.
Flex Titan slowly opens his eyes and finds himself lying in a medical bed. The superhero headquarters was
unlike anything he had ever seen before. The walls were lined with shimmering Geronium (The rarest and
strongest material on Earth), and the ceilings were made of an advanced energy field that changed colors. There
were holographic displays showing maps, data, and live feeds from everywhere around Shanghai. The sound of
machines beeping and whirring filled the room.

As Flex Titan regains consciousness, he immediately sits up. He starts lashing out at the hero who carried him to
safety. "What were you thinking? You could have gotten us both killed! You just wanted to be the hero and steal
my spotlight!" The tension in the room was palpable as the other heroes tried to calm the situation. Cyborg looks
at Flex Titan with a mix of respect and disappointment , but also a hint of guilt.
"I'm sorry, I wish I could have done more to help,” the Cyborg says. "I was just trying to help, and it seemed like
you really needed it."

Flex Titan looks at him with a scowl, still upset about what happened on the battlefield. "You were just trying to
steal my thunder," he says, his voice dripping with anger.

“Steal your thunder? If I had not rescued you, you would still be unconscious on those rocks.”

But Flex Titan wasn't listening. He continued to argue with him, almost breaking into a fight.

The room erupted into chaos, with heroes arguing over each other. Eventually, Cyborg walks up to Flex Titan,
slapping him across the face, interrupting his tantrum mid-sentence. “ This isn’t all about you Flex Titan, we put
our lives at stake for others yet you only do it for the approval of others. If we don’t work together as a team, Iron
Skull will continue to take more lives.”
Flex Titan took a deep breath and turned to Cyborg after finally realizing his mistakes, "Look, I'm sorry. You
were just trying to help. I’ll work together if it means we can take him down.” Cyborg nodded, and the two of
them shook hands.

 As the superheroes gathered around the AI system, the computer began processing
information about Iron Skull. After a few moments of intense calculations, the AI
presented its findings. "I have located Iron Skull's hideout, right now he is at the train
station opposite Lu Jia Zui" announced the AI. "I have also identified a rather disturbing
casefile of Iron Skull’s past."

The superheroes listened carefully to the AI's report, taking notes and discussing the
information amongst themselves. They knew that this was a crucial moment in their fight
against Iron Skull, and they needed to develop a solid game plan. After much deliberation,
they devised a strategy that would take advantage of Iron Skull's weakness and lead them
to victory.

"We'll split up into teams and attack in turns," declared Flex Titan. "That way, Iron Skull
won't be able to keep up with us in the long run."

The other superheroes nodded in agreement, and together they prepared for the battle to
come. They gathered their weapons, checked their equipment, and reviewed their plan
once more to ensure that everyone knew their role. As the tension mounted, they knew that
the country’s fate rested on their shoulders and that failure was not an option.

As the heroes make their way into the abandoned train station, they step over discarded trash
and rusted metal scraps scattered on the floor. The musky scent of the old station fills their
nostrils. Flex Titan's eyes scan the area, searching for any signs of Iron Skull.

Suddenly, a noise catches their attention. The heroes slowly make their way towards the
source of the sound, weapons at the ready. As they turn a corner, they come face to face with
Iron Skull, who was busily typing away on a computer.

Iron Skull jumps up in surprise, shock etched on his face as he sees the heroes. "How did
you find me?" he snarls.

Flex Titan steps forward, "We had help from an AI system that uncovered your hideout and
weakness," he replies, aiming his super-charge rifle at Iron Skull.

The other heroes split into teams and begin to take turns attacking Iron Skull, draining his
stamina. Flex Titan carefully lines up his shot, taking aim at Iron Skull's eyes. With a loud
blast, the shot hits its mark, causing Iron Skull to scream in agony and go blind.

The other heroes seize the opportunity and quickly subdue Iron Skull, placing him in
Geronium restraints.

 Iron Skull slowly opens his eyes, his vision obscured by the transparent walls of the high-
tech cell he was trapped in. He attempts to get up, but his body feels weak and
unresponsive.

He stands up and approaches the wall, pressing his hand against it. To his surprise, the wall
doesn't budge, not even a little bit. He pounds the wall with his fists, hoping to break it
down, but it only results in his fists hurting.

"How did they do this?" Iron Skull mutters to himself. "They must have used some kind of
advanced technology to nullify my abilities." He paces around the cell, his mind racing
with thoughts of escape and vengeance.

Iron Skull leans against the wall, trying to calm himself down and think logically. But the
more he thinks, the more paranoid he becomes. "What if this is just the beginning? What if
they're planning something even worse?" he mutters under his breath.

He slams his back against the wall, his frustration boiling over. "They won't get away with
this. I'll find a way out of here and make them pay for what they've done," he vows to
himself.

As he stands there, he notices a small camera mounted on the ceiling, recording his every
move. "They're watching me too. They probably have someone monitoring me 24/7," he
says, feeling even more trapped and helpless.

Iron Skull spends hours trying to find a way to escape, examining every inch of the cell for
any weaknesses or vulnerabilities. But the cell seems impenetrable, and his attempts at
using his powers are futile.

 Flex Titan walks into the room, his footsteps echoing through the stark chamber. He
approaches the cell where Iron Skull is trapped and regards him with a stern expression.

"What were you hoping to achieve?" Flex Titan asks, his voice firm and unwavering.
Iron Skull scoffs. "As if I would tell you.” He replies, folding his arms across his chest.

Flex Titan leans in closer to the cell. "You don't have much of a choice," he says. "You're
stuck here and we have all the time in the world.”

Iron Skull glares at him. "Who are you working for?" he demands. "Who is behind this
operation?"

Flex Titan remains silent for a moment before responding. "I don’t work for anyone, the
team aims for maintaining a peaceful society," he says. "We're just trying to keep the city
safe from people like you."

Iron Skull snorts. "People like me?" he repeats. "You mean people with powers?"

Flex Titan nods. "Well not exactly. We're trying to prevent any more harm to innocent
people. In other words, people who try to destroy the city..."

Iron Skull shakes his head. “YOU OUT OF ALL PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME THAT?!” he
shouts as he slams the wall out of frustration. “You’re trying to prevent harm to innocents?
What about 15 years ago when you ripped up those buildings to fight the lizard monster?”

“What about it?” Replied Flex Titan

“YOU DESTROYED MY HOUSE ALONG WITH MY FAMILY INSIDE!”

 "I was in a very happy family, you know. We had so much love to give, and I was going to
school, enjoying all of my classes. All of a sudden, the alarm went off. The monster was
attacking the city, and all the students were told to take cover and stay under our desks. We
were scared, but we waited and heard the good news of you beating the monster.
Everyone's parents came and picked up their children, all except me. I knew how to get
home. I got on the bus and went home all by myself. But when I arrived, I couldn't find my
home. It had mysteriously disappeared. All that was left was an empty patch of land where
the structure used to belong.

“Then the police arrived and explained what happened. You threw my house with my
parents still inside, killing both of them while he was standing in the middle of the
city grinning as everyone cheered for him. I was devastated. I had no home, no one to take
care of me, and I had to start from scratch.

“So I researched and experimented, creating weapons capable of killing you. I have been
planning my revenge ever since. He took everything from me, and I won't rest until I make
him pay for what he did to me and my family." Iron Skull explained in deep sorrow.

Flex Titan left Iron Skull alone in his jail cell, full of guilt and regret.
Pondering his previous careless mistakes and wondering what the outcome would be if he
weren’t to be so selfish.

Flex Titan ended up quitting his job as hero of the city and decided to
give back in a different way, he sponsored dozens of charities,
orphanages, and homeless shelters. For all the destruction he caused,
Flex Titan realized he must restore the communities and families he has
hurt. These acts were no longer for the validation of others, but as a way
to apologize to the people he has hurt and for wanting to genuinely help
others.

Although Flex Titans road to atonement is far from over, through the
span of multiple years, Iron Skull has slowly began forgiving Flex Titan
after seeing his impact to the community and the city.

After spending a few years in prison, Iron Skull was eventually released.
Instead of using his incredible intellect for destruction, he became a civil
engineer aiding Flex Titan in restoring destroyed communities in the city
from battles.

“Hey Skull… we need more hands, it’ll take forever if it's just the two of
us. Let’s start a team.”
