 `` Look, up in the sky! It's Lottery!'' 
 
 That's my cue. Okay, let's see... 
 
 Cape, check. Mask, check. 
 
 Overwhelming feeling of nausea in my stomach? 
 
 Sigh. Let's just make this quick. 
 *** 
 El Circuitos really pulled out the stops today. He's standing on a pedestal made of thousands of his microbots, while thousands more have lifted the bank a hundred feet off its foundation. I know he's been planning this heist for a while; Paulsen & Co. is the oldest bank in the city, and one of the few left that still keeps a regular supply of gold in the vault. They're traditional that way. 
 
 I decide to save the people inside first. I roll out of my flight pattern and make a beeline for the door. Circuitos tries to launch some stray bots at me, but they're from older models and I know how to avoid them. I land on the front steps and open the door. 
 
 `` Never fear, citizens! Captain Lottery is here to save you!'' 
 
 There are n't many people in the bank today besides the workers, which is great, because I'm starting to get a small headache. I think most people heard about El Circuitos' heist early in the week. I stretch out my arms like rubber, dropping them to the street three at a time. They scatter into the crowd waiting outside. 
 
 Last but not least is Macey, the bank manager's daughter. I scoop her up. `` Hey, Mace.'' 
 
 `` Hey, Lewis. You're not working yourself too hard, are you?'' 
 
 `` I'm fine.'' 
 
 `` Ugh, you're sweating. You know Radioboy would have taken over for you-'' 
 
 `` I'm fine, really.'' My head is pounding. `` Let's get you down. I'll pick you up at eight?'' 
 
 She sighs, but she lifts up her feet and I lower her to the sidewalk. Then I walk to the back and open the door to the vault. 
 
 Ugh, I took too long; El Circuitos is already on the street. At least he's still working through his monologue. Most of the crowd seems uninterested, though I can see a couple of reporters from Channel 5 out today. I jump through the hole in the floor. `` Stop right there, evildoer!'' 
 
 The crowd cheers once they see me step forward. Circuitos turns instantly. `` Blast! You wo n't thwart me today, Lottery! Microbots, attack!'' 
 
 I jump out from below the bank and head for the bots holding the gold. With Circuitos, it's always a race against time to see if you can get all the money before the bots holding them get into the sewers. There are two sets storm drains on either side of the road, which makes Paulsen & Co. one of his particular favorites. 
 
 I pull the bots from the front of the line with a magnetic pull. It does n't help the feeling in my stomach, so I stop and throw off fireballs instead. Pieces of the bots scatter, and the crowd pushes back to avoid getting hit. I feel bad, but controlling fire is the only power I'm still comfortable with. I've finally gotten the robots moving west to stand still when a group of them ambush me from behind. El Circuitos drags me back and shows me off to the crowd. 
 
 `` Behold! Your hero is in chains before me!'' He turns to me, but then he notices I'm not looking at him straight. `` Hey, pay attention,'' he hisses. `` And lighten up on the fireballs next time. Those bots are n't salvageable anymore.'' 
 
 I shake my head, then show my best heroic grin. `` Sorry, El Circuitos...'' The crowd cheers louder. I've always thought my catchphrase was a little off, but the audience is always pumped to see my new power. ``... You just won today's lottery!'' 
 
 I wrench my arm free from the microbots and pull back my fist. `` You're no match for my powers over-'' 
 
 *Steam? * 
 
 `` AAAUUUGH!'' 
 
 *Aw, crap. * 
 
 Circuitos stumbles back, forcing most of the microbots under him to improvise. But it is n't enough. He falls the last ten feet onto his back, howling all the way down. Most of the crowd is still cheering, but the reporter, Cindy, is staring at me in shock. It's selfish of me, but I blast the news van with an EMP before I jump down to the ground. I do n't need them seeing any more. 
 
 He's still lying on the ground, clutching his face and neck. His arm brace is sparking, which probably means his remote is broken. I walk up to him slowly. `` Dude, I am so sorry.'' 
 
 `` *What the... * friggin' HECK, man?'' 
 
 `` It was supposed to be just water. My hands were still too hot-'' 
 
 `` You **BURNED ME! **'' His voice is hoarse. 
 
 The audience is getting quiet real fast. Circuitos is a professional villain; he never complains about a cheap shot unless he means it. He scrambles to his feet, his handlebar mustache peeling off the left side of his face, along with some of his hair. My super hearing picks up on the people still whispering around us. 
 
 `` You know, I heard Lottery got in a fight with The Flying Wire last week.'' 
 
 `` The new hero? What happened?'' 
 
 Circuitos rips off his gauntlet. `` Whoa, what are you doing?'' I ask. `` Put your dukes up, man. The cops are n't here yet.'' 
 
 `` Nuh-uh. No. I'm done.'' He turns his back to me. `` Microbots! Command E-14! Return to Main Lair!'' 
 
 The robots obey him, slowly setting the bank down to its resting place. Someone in the crowd starts booing. Circuitos ignores him, wincing as the bots form a jetpack and carry him away. I'm left watching as the crowd disperses and the villain leaves with about four million dollars in gold. 
 *** 
 Five minutes later, I'm sitting on a rooftop on the north end of the city when I get two texts. One is from the League of Heroism commander Master Hawk, and one is from Macey. But they both say the same thing. 
 
 We need to talk.
