First date. Superheroes. They don't know each other's secret...

She flies. He's super strong. They matched on some dating app. It's casual, coffee maybe? Neither knows the other saves the city every night. Maybe there's that 'do I know you from somewhere' vibe. Sparks fly, right? Literally? Keep it short & sweet!

You've got the making of an epic tale in those few lines. There's that undercurrent of familiarity, a tug at the heartstrings when their gazes meet. It's not just superhero stuff, it's the human connection. They're searching for someone who genuinely understands the weight of the world they carry on their shoulders. Sparks fly, not from powers clashing, but from souls recognizing each other. With every shared smile and nervous laugh, they’re closer to discovering that the person across from them is not only their equal but their echo through the chaos of their double lives.

They probably just spend the date texting their sidekicks about how bland their date is. Little do they know, sidekicks are the same person too. Now there's a romcom!

What if, plot twist, the waiter is also a super but on villain duty and recognizes them? Adds another layer doesn't it.

He orders black coffee, stone-cold like his vigilant nights. She opts for tea, subtle, like her silent glides across the skyline. They share a charged glance – a prelude to untold stories where they've brushed shoulders on rooftops, unknown allies against crime. Discussion veers dangerously close to the chaos of last night's supervillain takedown. Coy smiles, deft topic changes, but each can sense the truth bubbling beneath. As they part, spark-laden fingertips graze a fleeting goodbye, a promise of the profound connection awaiting beyond their masquerade.

Started writing a response to this and it's crazy fun to balance the secret identity stuff with normal first date jitters. Think about it, they both probably have super-awareness, so they're picking up on SO much more than the average person would. Every little hint that something's off, they'd notice but can't call out without risking their identity 😅

Imagine if they accidentally use their powers mid-date and cause a scene 😂 would be hilarious to see how they'd cover it up. But seriously, even without the 'hero' angle, it's pretty funny when two people both have these BIG secrets. That whole dramatic irony thing, y'know?
