motions you to follow, leading you into a hidden chamber beneath the city. Walls lined with screens, maps, and gadgets. "This... you see this? The cost of 'balance'?"
my brows rose up. Dude…is this your secret hideout?! staring around with clear awe and excitement
"Yes, it is. A sanctuary for those who seek justice, where I train individuals like yourself to become heroes. But it comes at a price."
nods, “And what would that price be sir?”
takes a deep breath, hesitating for a moment before continuing "The price is secrecy, isolation, and constant conflict.

Chuckles nervously "Oh, okay. That's good, right? Secrets are good, aren't they?"
pauses, looking down at the ground, then meets your gaze "Secrets can be both a blessing and a curse, my dear BlazeCascade.
looks back at Jesus, nodding slowly "So, what now?"
smiles warmly "Now, we begin your training. But remember, being a hero is not without its challenges. Are you ready to embrace that responsibility?"

nods earnestly "I understand, Jesus. Empathy is everything."
leads you further into the lair, showing you various training equipment and devices "Now, let's start with some basic combat training.
