Millie out of everyone breaks the silence to say what was on everyone's mind... or rather, on your mind at least, probably not anyone else's. Though everyone is quickly taken to gossip and how wild this is... public exchanges between heroes and villains, but you meanwhile are more than a little shaken by what you saw and heard. Still reeling as if the man himself had slapped you in the face, a real conflict of emotions between fear and anger and everything in between. Getting singled out by a hero? You should be gleeful as an indicator of your success as a villain, but you can't help feeling afraid for his vicious targeting of you! But why be afraid when you should be furious, at him reinforcing your false-name of "Stretch Girl" in the media, and possibly that he even was the source of it?! He thinks he's angry, well you're angry and want to pound his face into a bloody mess!

A firm hand to your shoulder, as Travis reminds you of where you are and what's going on. Everyone else continues to ignore the movie and gossip, since this potential chain of events is far more interesting than anything else going on. There haven't been heroes contesting villains since before any of you were born, and of places for it to happen in, is your sleepy city of Malton. Even if this little tirade on broadcast is all that ends up happening, it's still something significant.
That said, you're too emotionally distraught to contribute or participate much in the conversation. You can keep up the act for the remainder of the evening, but your mind will be on only one thing and you'll be counting the minutes until you can leave.
>Smile and nod along, till everyone calls it a night and you can race back home.
>Maybe you could lean on Travis to come up with some appropriate excuse for you to leave early?
>Screw this, you've got to get out of here now, and out of Malton tonight! Time for that vacation you were planning!
>You can't leave yet, not when some damned hero dared to call your name and reputation into question! You'll have nothing else on your mind than planning for tomorrow!
>Where is that interview taking place, it's live isn't it? Go and find the bastard right now and make him sorry!
>A ghastly write-in?
