"Collateral." That's what Ellie thought of herself as now. Ever since her boyfriend Charles had run into gambling debt, she had been there to pick up the pieces, working to prevent his financial ruin. She silently labored while he put every cent into losing bets. The deeper his debts went, the darker the names became. And now, apparently, the debts had come due.

Silas Dray was one of the worst Atlas City had to offer—a powerful loan shark that operates in the cracks the heroes never bother to see. In a city where the skies nightly showcased billowing capes, glittering energy blasts, and superheroes posed for corporate photoshoots, the ground level still belonged to men like Dray.

Now, he was coming for Ellie. Sweet, nervous Ellie who only knows ovens and recipes was cornered by a trio of Dray's thugs in the alley behind her workplace. At knifepoint and trapped between a dumpster and locked door, Ellie pleads: "P-please—I don't have anything..."

Who will come to her rescue?

• A flying boy scout

• Justice made manifest

• Green angry man

• A literal pantheistic deity

• Just some random guy on the street?(do not recommend)
