Dwayne, a former superhero known as Daxx, answers questions and hangs out with other former superheroes at a convention. He’s married now, has a wife and a son. He has put on some weight. Someone breaks into his hotel room and steals his power staff.
Things don’t get much better for Dwayne when he heads to the bar to hang out with the other former superheroes. He tries hitting on Jess, his former crime fighting partner. Her code name was Fearess, but she is with Mark now, another former superhero. His code name was Sentinel. She doesn’t get angry, she just turns him down and walks off with Mark.
Dwayne spends the night drinking with Jim and Greg, a couple more former superheroes. He tries hitting on Jess a second time. This time she hits back, angrily. Dwayne thinks he spots the guy who stole his staff but he can’t be certain. He almost gets into a fight with the guy but Greg breaks up the potential conflict.
Dwayne returns to his room and falls asleep. He doesn’t hear Jess knocking on his door.
