章節 192: Ch. 185 - Invitation from Syndrome
Feeling a throb inside her mind, Tigress couldn't help but scratch her head before shrugging it off, much to Psyche's surprise, who almost lost his entire stamina just trying to penetrate Tigress's mind.
He hasn't even reached 1% of the penetration and he's already exhausted.
"W-what -haahh~ are you?" Psyche asked between ragged breaths, with clear indication of being exhausted.
Realizing that it was Psyche who she felt probing in her mind, Tigress marched towards him and looked down on him with clear disgust on his face.
"...I'm Tigress." She said before knocking him unconscious with a single punch.

[Four consecutive female heroes? Who are they? Are they related to each other? Does Lucifer know them? So many questions yet are left unanswered, maybe we could only cure our curiosities when we legalize heroes once again and have the chance to interview each one of them.]
"First, Lucius's female counterpart hero and now three unknown heroes who came out of nowhere? Don't they know that the government exists?" Inside the Parr household, Helen and Bob were watching the television with Helen giving out her own comment.
"Maybe...Maybe it's finally time for us to go back to being heroes?" Bob hesitantly said, while side-eyeing Helen, wanting to see her reaction and boy he wished he didn't said those words.
"WHAT!? What are you thinking, Bob! We can't go back to that way! We already abandoned it in exchange of this good life, remember?" Helen sighed exasperatedly, not wanting to hear what Bob just said. They sacrificed so many things just to achieve this peaceful life with their children and now, Bob wants to go back to the old way?
"....It's not a good life." Bob muttered under his breath, not daring to speak out loud in fear of his wife.
"Were you saying something?" Raising her eyebrow, Helen failed to hear Bob clearly.
"Nothing." Bob hastily replied, fearing for his wife's retaliation.
"I'll check the kids if they're doing their homework." Bob quickly stood up and came up with a good enough reason.
Ever since he got 'quarantined' by his wife, he can't find jobs anymore nor does his wife wants to as she suspects that he might use his job as a cover to do hero work again.
"...." Meanwhile, Helen just watched Bob's back as he leaves, contemplating about what he said.
She might not show it to her husband but there's also a small part of her that craves to feel being a hero and catching criminals again.
"Sigh, I should make dinner." Deciding to abandon these thoughts, Helen decided to make dinner to avoid such thoughts.
***
While the Parr household is busy with their own matters, Lucius was having another argument with his wife.
"Who are you to tell me to go back to the kitchen!?"
"I'm your husband, for god's sake!"
"You don't tell me what to do, I'm your wife, not your slave!"
"I'm not telling you what to do! I'm just reminding you what you're supposed to do!"
"!!!"

"We don't have enough information about them." Inside a dark office, a female figure with slight curves spoke to the person in front of her.
Although the room is dark with only a single window illuminating their shadow figures, it is enough to tell the outlines of their appearances.
One is a woman with good curves while the person she's talking to is shorter than her with his hair making up to his missing height.
"What do you mean, we can't find them? We have the largest and fastest intelligence network system in the entire world! I designed it myself!" The male figure complained.
"It's not that the intelligence network is lacking, it's just that these figures aren't registered anywhere. It's like they just appeared in this world out of the blue."
"...So, you're telling me that they're aliens?"
"That, I can't answer."
"....It looks like we have to approach them in the same old traiditional way, ain't that right, Mirage?"
"It seems so, sir. Should I approach them myself?"
"No, you handle the lady heroes. I'll approach this Lucifer myself, hopefully my persuasion skills hasn't gone to waste yet."
"Alright. I'll make the preparations."
***
Another week has passed and the four female heroes starts to rise in fame. This also means that the government have also increased their chase over them, to the point that they almost declared a martial law if it wasn't for the medias and countless citizens protesting against it.
No matter which universe you're in, the government always stays to be dumb and makes not so good decisions.
However, putting their aside. Tigress, Mavis, Rapunzel and Elsa has just beaten a supervillain that required the four of them to team up when they were suddenly approached by a white haired beauty with clear professionalism running through her face.
"Good day, heroes."
"Hmm? Are you from the government? Did they finally decided to reconcile?" Rapunzel was the first one among them to notice her and couldn't help but to make a joke.
"Please don't worry, I'm not from the government. In fact, I'm from an organization that is above the government in terms of power and technology, except for influence, sadly."
"Anyways, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Mirage and I'm here to sincerely invite the four of you for a meeting in this place and time. If you're curious about it, let me just say that it will elevate your position as a superhero into something above and beyond. And WE will be helping you with that." Mirage casted a mysterious smile before walking away after leaving a simple package to them.
"...What should we do?" Rapunzel asked them while holding the package.
"What else but to tell Jin?" Tigress shrugged her shoulders, not caring about what the woman said or anything related to her. All she wants is to continue the hero work as she finally found something to keep her occupied and her thirst for battle in check.
***
At the same time as them, Jin just finished stopping someone from robbing a bank when a loud voice was declared from above.
"Greetings, Lucifer! It seems like this is our first time meeting! And I will tell you, I feel the honour just by being beside you." Turning his face to the skies yo find the source of the sound, Jin was stunned to see a short man wearing black and white latex suit with a large S on his entire front body. The most distinct on his appearance is his long standing hair that resembles similar to Vegeta's hair.
"....You are?" Pretending not to know him, Jin was interested in where this is going. Will Syndrome invite him to his secret island before secretly killing him with his Omnidroids?
If that's his plan then Syndrome would just make a very interesting individual to play with before Jin has to deal with JackJack once he's born.
"I am Syndrome! The one and only secret hero that hides in the dark!" Syndrome proudly presented himself, even going as far as giving himself a title that isn't actually real.
"Hero that hides in the dark? You mean villain, right? Only villain hides in the dark." Jin held his chuckle off as Syndrome froze from his words, realizing his mistake. He has been too caught up with his 8th grader syndrome that he almost revealed himself to be a supervillain.
"That's uhmm, my mistake. Anyways, putting that aside. I am here to offer you something that is much worth your while! In exchange of defeating and destroying a renegade robot on Nomanisan Island, I would be paying you a salary, something that you don't have as of now due to 'various' reason." Syndrome replied while shaking his hand at the end of his sentence, implying about the Super Relocation Act that is imposed on all the Supers in the entire world.
"That's all, the decision rests in you. If you have more questions, you just have to open this." Syndrome said before handing him a package of some sort.
Taking the package from Syndrome's hands, the secret supervillain took this opportunity to fly away with a salute.
"Hope you really consider, mister superhero."
"Well that's interesting. Hopefully, these Omnidroids could somehow quench my thirst of boredom before fighting the Gods and Angels." Jin chuckled to himself before deciding to finish his hero work for today and go back home.
***
Once Jin teleported back home, he coincidentally met with his women who were also clearing up their side and go home.
"Jin!" Rapunzel was the first one to react and jumped on him, hugging him like a koala and kissing his face like a chicken pecking its head.
"Alright alright, stop it. I assume you guys also received the package, right?" Jin assumes, considering that he's not the only active hero as of now.
As a matter of fact, Jin started to hear more about the other superheroes who are supposed to be in hiding or dead according to the original timeline where Syndrome uses them to test his Omnidroids.
But now, most heroes are still alive and you might be asking how Jin heard about them?
Maybe it is due to his interference which caused a butterfly effect that motivated all the hiding superheroes to come out and resume their hero work, giving further headache to the Government and those who are against the supers.
Due to this, Lucifer became quite a pillar among the superheroes, giving them inspiration to restart the regime of Superheroes and bring the world back into order.
But for now, Jin's focus is on Syndrome's invitation. Surely, Syndrome would make an interesting enemy to deal with, considering that Jin has been dealing with mediocre villains.
