A Hot New Hero Hits Town
By Jenny Peters
Exclusive to the Port Alexander Times
There's a new face in town, the soot-blackened visage of Fervor. The
hero was on the scene at Proust Aerospace when it was attacked by
the supervillains known as the Fire Team, and afterwards he was
available for comment
Over hot chocolate with a dash of cinnamon, Fervor answered questions
about himself and his plans. "My abilities are pretty simple really," he
said. "I can generate heat. Lot's of it." This claim was backed up by
the condition of one of the villain's equipment after Fervor had been
there: the metal jetpack was melted slag.
When he asked about his motives, why he took to the streets to
fight crime, he replied, "I would like to say it is because with great power
comes great responsibility but that wouldn't be completely honest. Don't get
me wrong, I want to do the right thing but I don't see this as a sacred duty.
I enjoy it. It's a way to help people and let off steam after a hard day's
work. In some ways it's my version of aerobics. I don't want to sound like I
don't take this seriously because I do but I do not let it take over my life.
I have to work a full time job to pay the rent like everyone else. Besides
that I try to do the hero thing and have a social life. There are only so
many hours in the day so sleeping is something I don't see enough of."
Questions about relationships were also answered frankly, if generally.
"All this means that I don't have the time to commit to a steady relationship.
Something that's hard to accomplish anyway when you have to brake 2 out of 3
dates to 'work' late."
At the end of the battle at Proust Aerospace, a cadre of men appeared
on the scene. Fervor was unable to provide much detail about them, but
stated that they were with the government, and that they have custody of
the villains.
Fervor was quick to praise the work of the White Knight, as well as that
of the mysterious woman, Glory.
