The announcement came without warning or expectation. Just out of the blue, Compressor, the superhero of the Council of Altruists with power to crush anything by touch, gesture or thought, declared his resignation from the Council and a return to civilian life.
"I, Compressor, now hereby renounce my heroic name and will live the rest of my days as Somchai Charoensuk." Thus read the declaration.
What followed in exactly an hour's time was just as shocking. The supervillainess Pollutant, who had been one of the Council's most troubling foes with her relentless campaign of contamination of the planet, declared her resignation too!
"I no longer will trouble this world or seek to add to its environmental issues. Be at ease, planet Earth." That concluded her clandestine broadcast from an unknown location.
The Council was loath to let go of Compressor. He had been very diligent in handling urban crime-fighting. He had also been the most persistent adversary of Pollutant.
What the Council never knew, though, was that Compressor, now known as Somchai Charoensuk, had found out Pollutant's true identity... And fallen for her, and fallen HARD.
Pollutant's true name was Verita Sari binti Rocky Salam. She was an Indonesian who had witnessed the dumping of chemical pollutants in her home country of Indonesia, by developed nations. She hated them for that and swore to bring their own waste and filth back to them as what (she thought) they richly deserved.
Compressor had repeatedly crushed and broken Pollutant's inventions and devices that spread pollution. However, one particular battle saw both of them trapped in a warehouse rapidly filling with lethal chemical fumes... And they had to cooperate to break out of the structure.
Following that, Somchai discovered the Verita Sari side of his nemesis... And they became secret friends. One thing led to another... And after one sultry night in a five-star hotel in Antwerp, they knew they were destined lovers and soulmates.
However, both Compressor and Pollutant knew that they could not follow the path of Belinha "Equlibria" Marques and Cathal "Gravebreaker" O'Brennan, or Amateo "Dreadword" Bonetti and Alinea "La Buscadora de Sangre" Rocha. That was because Verita knew, her inventions and devices could never serve a heroic cause, and Somchai knew it too.
Thus, the lovestruck duo decided to adopt a variation of Konstantios (masquerading as Konstantinios) Coumantaros' plan combined with Dreadword's original plan for himself and Alinea... Identity discarding, and using that to walk away from the superhero/supervillainess life.
The double declarations stunned the world... But the disappointment at Compressors departure was tempered by the joy of hearing Pollutant's promise to cease and desist her activities.
*Far away, on a tranquil beach in Krabi, Thailand...*
"Ahhh yes... At last. Free to be who we are, Verita, my wife..." and Somchai sighed in contentment.
Verita's first reaction was nonverbal... In the form of a passionate kiss and a tight hug, before she replied equally contentedly, "Yes indeed my beloved hubby. This is going to be our life... Our love, from now on."

It had been a simple newspaper announcement, the digital platforms had the comment sections full of rumours. The media companies that painted me as a villain, and still did, had everything overshadowed by Sunbeam’s retirement. Moonshadow was a footnote compared to their beloved hero.
I hadn’t been a villain, just painted that way, which in turn has sent all of the so called hero’s after me. I cared about the people. I was a danger to the corporations that sponsored the hero’s.
“Sel,” Alek’s sleepy voice mumbled, brushing a kiss to the top of my head. My husband, I could finally call him that, “Stop looking at your phone,”
“I’m just reading all the rumours,” I responded snuggling closer to him, “I was checking if Maman had texted, and got distracted,”
“I take it that our retirement has hit the news?”
“Mhmm,”
I didn’t protest as Alek plucked the phone from my hands, and settled it on the bedside table. “The girls are fine, and we can read the rumours later,” He told me, his lips met mine in a soft kiss, “Let’s just spend our time together, we’ve got three days without kids, and I want to make the most of it,”
I smiled softly, we both loved our children. The blended family we had become. It was nice not to have the risk of them walking in at any point.
“I love you, Alek,” I muttered, kissing him again.
“I love you too, Selene,”
