Summary
The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void. “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.” With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind. This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero. “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.” - or - Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

PickleTheJar
Just nowSuper excited to see where this goes! I love this concept already :D
CitrusFruitz
Just nowLiterally so excited for this fic!!!! It already looks so cool!!I love how instant that switch between Grian and Scar's dynamic was after the reveal, it made it especially fun when they kept some of that doctor/patient banter around the other bamboozlers!
Venusplantt
Just nowOH MY GODDDDD I LOVE THEM!!! Also the Bamboozlers being the villains!!! Ugh my heart! Can't wait to read the new chapters when it comes out I'm so so happy.
nagisasays

prettyjinnie01
Just nowAAAAAAAAA I’m so deeply invested alreadyPoor Grians having a heart attack over the rollercoaster of a night he’s having 💀Grian getting snippy with scar it’s so goooddddd I can’t wait to see this play out in the future :DI’m also curious who the heroes were and how much we’ll get to see of them. ! I’m assuming Furioso is tango based solely on the fact it sounds like a hero w fire powers. Slayer tho I’m having a tougher time with… I’m thinking it’s geminislay tho my queenI’m so excited already for next week!!! ❤️

Just nowThis is so good!

Just nowOh I love that the bamboozles are actually scary and reasonably competent. This is so much fun.

Just nowFINALLY I'M IN I can't belive you killed Ao3The juxtaposition between Scar stammering abt having a phone and then going full Ringmaster once he realizes he's been figured out... getting shot and then saved by some random guy who happened to be walking by shook up his groove! I'm sure he's absolutely normal about this.Slayer and Furioso.... interesting........"Grian worked to untie the knot in his stomach by pretending that this was just a group of three stray dogs with attitude problems. As long as he didn’t seem like a threat or a chew toy, there was a chance for survival."HSHAGSGSGSGSGWGW that's. Definitely one way to look at it buddy. Even as a civilian who is doing it like this guy.VILLIAN BAMBOOZLERS I LOVE THEM. THEY'RE SOOO. Horrible evil trio. I can't wait to see more of them.Grian opting for SHOW NO WEAKNESS and actively snipping at Renowned Supervillians what a guy. Surely this will not get him harassed by villians in the future for entertainment. Surely.Oh the basic worldbuilding set up from the start I am so excited to learn more, abt powers and heroes and villians and yesssssss NEW CALAM FIC WE ARE LIVING LARGE BOYS (side note I don't think I ever left comments on ur other fics when I was reading thru them...? Did I...? Idk I should fix that. I like your work a whole lot)

Just nowYoooo this is shaping up to be amazing!! The concept, the action, the prose, I’m so incredibly hyped to see these bamboozlers in actionLizzy’s and jimmy’s powers match up exactly with their wild life powers, but I’m interested to see what scar’s powers really are. Sitting on players and extreme knockback aren’t the most useful irl, but this red light power Ringmaster displayed is interesting for sure
SentientShrubbery
Just nowSuper excited for this! Fantastic opener — I love your descriptions of Scar and Grian in the shadow.

Just nowAmazing! I loved this, grian switching between work mode and fear™️ was so fun to read The scent of blood haunting the alleyway became less like the leftovers of a procedure and more like a forewarning of what was to come. I really like this line, really sets in the unsettling atmosphereGreat chapter!!
