[ WP ] A monster is destroying the city , but the Hero does n't want to risk being sued or punished for the property damage that will happen while fighting it .

`` Right, Mr Mayor, if you would please sign on the dotted line,'' Mr Lawson, lawyer extraordinaire, said, offering his pen. 
 
 The Mayor hastily snatched the pen from the man's hands, immediately scribbling his signature upon the form. He glanced out of his office window, just in time to see the huge reptilian monster tear down one of the city's landmarks. 
 
 ``... another signature here, if you would, Mr Mayor,'' Lawson continued, flipping a page. 
 
 Another quick scribble flew onto the page where Lawson had indicated with a finger. The Mayor directed his gaze to the corner of his office. Dynamo, the city's superhero, was seated on a sofa and looking out at the monster's path of destruction as well, a glass of water in hand. 
 
 `` And here,'' indicated Lawson again, flipping another page of the document. 
 
 The Mayor hesitated, his eyes still fixated on Dynamo's nonchalant figure. His grip on the pen loosened, and he staggered as a wave of dizziness came over him, collapsing into his chair. 
 
 `` Please Mr Mayor, my client is a busy man. The quicker we finish signing this waiver, the faster our problem is resolved,'' said Lawson, ignoring the Mayor's growing paleness, ever the professional. 
 
 `` Remind me again why I have to sign a different waiver... for every single incident?'' the Mayor wheezed, his hands fumbling as he opened a desk drawer to retrieve his inhaler. 
 
 `` Why, we have to prepare for every contingency, Mr Mayor. The law is ever changing, and it is my job to ensure my client is protected in all aspects under the eyes of the law,'' Lawson replied in a practiced manner. `` We'd hardly want to miss out a single detail and risk branding my client as a criminal, would we? Even the slightest mishap could ruin my client's - and the city's - reputation.'' 
 
 Nodding weakly in agreement, the Mayor reached for the pen, signing the pages as Lawson turned them, his signature a barely legible scrawl by the end of the document. He swiveled around on his chair, just in time to witness another city landmark go down in flames. 
 
 Lawson flipped through the document once the Mayor had released the pen. He paused on a page and frowned, fearing the Mayor had missed it, but smiled satisfactorily as he spotted the small squiggle at the bottom of the page. Satisfied with the integrity of the documents, he turned and gave his client a nod. 
 
 Dynamo was already standing, his glass of water set down on the small table beside the sofa. The superhero gathered kinetic energy in his legs, and as soon as Lawson gave the signal, he released his power, dashing right out of the office window and leaving a sonic boom in his wake. 
 
 The Mayor sighed as he watched Dynamo move to engage the monster through his now glassless windows, barely flinching as the hero barreled through a building, collapsing it. Reaching for the phone upon his desk, he called his secretary and began relaying instructions. 
 
 `` Yes, Sarah, please do the usual. Our accountant and that construction company we last used. Try and negotiate a better price with them this time if possible, god knows we'll need the money...''
