And that's suspicious as all heck considering we're supposed to be "heroes". [he does airquotes because he is, frankly, sick of the labels in this city now. he does not mind being called a hero, in general, since that's what demigods are, but here? it doesn't feel like a compliment.
and he's so painfully aware of how quickly this city could decide any one of these heroes is actually a villain.] But for part of the competition, they want us to act as "villains," too? What are we, characters in a comic book?
