A Novel About A Depressed Superhero Who Just Can Get Out Of Their Apartment To Help Anyone. So Crime

A novel about a depressed superhero who just can get out of their apartment to help anyone. So crime rises and people die, and the hero can’t find it in them to care. And all the news wants to know is where did their hero go? Why has the hero abandoned them? The hero doesn’t know, but a barely there villain does. So the villain reaches out to the hero and offers the hero their company, because they know what it’s like to be so depressed you can barely get out of bed to go to the bathroom; they’ve been there before. Normally the hero would frown at hanging out with a villain, but since they don’t care about anything right now, they don’t oppose the idea. So the villain starts visiting the hero regularly; making the hero meals, helping the hero clean the apartment, and just watching Netflix with the hero until they both fall asleep. They become friends, and slowly the hero starts to get better and able to do more things. The hero starts therapy and even saves a couple people here and there. And all the while, the villain is right there with them, helping them along the way (though they’re still a villain and that’s not changing). And eventually the hero asks the villain to move in with them because they can’t picture their life without the villain, but it’s not romantic in anyway whatsoever. They become permanent roommates and best friends and maybe, just maybe, they adopt a dog together.

You are the first person to travel into the future via time machine. When you arrive, you gradually notice that your surroundings keep changing, seemingly at random. You eventually realize that you are LITERALLY in the future, and events in the present are still shaping the world.

You walk into a bathroom and close the door behind you. You notice an “out of order” sign on the inside of the door. When you go back outside, things are out of order…

Imagine being a human in an alien crew in space and leaving with bright blue or pink hair and the color fades and everybody on board wonders WHY you are losing your colors??? Is it the lack of greens? Are you sad? Angry? They just don’t know??
