Chapter Text
Herman, Hermy to his grandma, liked to watch people. Not in a weird or creepy way… and maybe not everyone… an-and maybe…. maybe just someone in particular…
…Sue him he has a crush! Well don’t actually sue him his grandma needs a lot of meds and their several cats need so much food…
Herman had a crush. It’s nothing new, he has had crushes on people for as long he can remember. Particularly crushes on heroes. With their larger than life personalities and with their fit fits and tight suits he couldn’t for the life of him feel awkward about liking them. Mecha Man, Blonde Blazer, Phenomaman, Malevola, he was awkward around them but not becuase he liked them, he is just awkward by nature. This crush was different.
He has never stayed up at night thinking about anyone. He has never just stood somewhere and not moved becuase he was looking at someone. He has never had to shake himself from daydreams about his crush. Not until now.
Prism, or Alice to the team… go-go-go-god where does he start?
She is really pretty… bu-but that’s a given! Her suit may cling to her body leaving almost nothing to his imagination… where was he? Oh yeah! But what he focuses on most of the time is her face. It’s just so round and looks so soft. Her makeup and look is stunning-HA!-as well. The visor and the wig and the lipstick… Waterboy could say she looked out of this world but they work with people from out of their world and she looks better than them!... Sorry Lana…
Her voice is also fantastic! He can tell why she got so big of a following, not that he knows what people their age like to listen to or anything, he just likes her singing so much. He should probably stop listening to he rmusic before doing to sleep since it gives him too much energy.
Most of all he loves watching her when she is passionate. She is the second shortest member of the team and yet she can fill any room she is in just with how… how… how much she is. If she likes something, if she hates something, is she laughs or swears or she just has an opinion that she has to have you listen to… He is hypnotized by her.
So yes… Hermy likes looking at her. That’s most probably why he did what he did why he now has a piece of scafollding going through his mid section.
“Wa-Waterboy?” Prism sounds distant although she is just in front of him on the ground. “Herm. Herm can you listen to me?”
Herman tries to tell her that yes, he does. But his Powers had other plans and a jet stream of blood is the only thing that comes out of his mouth.
