Ep.5 A shadow needing light.

20:00 Iris' Home.

Vauban: (in Iris' head) So why do you live all the way here in the outskirts huh?

Iris: Hm well let's just say I prefer to be under the radar.

Vauban: (in Iris' head) I respect that.

Vauban continued to be a constant presence in Iris' mind, often engaging her in conversation and providing guidance on how to better utilize her powers.

Vauban: (in Iris' head) You know, Iris, with your powers and abilities, you could rule the world if you wanted to.

Iris: (surprised and appalled) What? No! I could never do something like that!

Vauban: (smirking) Are you sure? Power is a seductive thing, my dear. And you have more power than anyone else on this planet.

Iris: (firmly) I don't want power for myself, Vauban. I want to use my abilities to help people and make the world a better place.

Vauban: (sighing) Ah, Iris. Always the noble hero. But mark my words, one day you'll realize the true potential of your power.

Iris: (shaking her head) I'll never use my power for evil, Vauban. Never.

As time passed, Iris began to grow more comfortable with her powers, and more confident in her ability to control them. She became a stronger and more formidable hero, standing alongside her team in the fight against injustice and tyranny.

And even though Vauban continued to lurk in the back of her mind, whispering temptation and seduction, Iris knew that she had the strength and determination to resist him. For she was a hero, and she knew that with her friends by her side, she could face any challenge, no matter how great or powerful.

A few days later.

Vauban: (in Iris' head) I think I'm adapting to you. I'm starting to feel better knowing your using my power for good.

Iris: Well that's good to hear you just keep trying to be a good boy then.

Vauban: (chuckling) Oh, you have no idea, my dear. But I'll do my best to behave.

Despite Vauban's occasional attempts at throwing her off track, Iris continued to hone her skills and become an even stronger hero. She worked closely with her team, relying on their support and guidance as much as she relied on her own abilities.

And even though she knew that the specter of Vauban would always be with her, Iris remained resolute in her determination to use her powers for good. For she was a hero, and she knew that with great power came great responsibility. And with her powers and her team by her side, she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, always striving to do what was right and just.

Iris: Something isn't right... I feel dizzy.

Vauban: Hey Iris you can't sleep here Iris wake up... Iris!

Iris passes out in the middle of the road.

Vauban: guess I'll have to take over consciousness for now. Just until I get her to safety.

As Vauban took control of Iris' consciousness, he quickly assessed the situation. He knew that she needed medical attention, and fast.

Vauban: (thinking) I'll have to use my powers to get her to a hospital. I can't risk her getting any worse.

With a surge of energy, Vauban utilized his powers to levitate Iris off the ground, carrying her towards the nearest hospital. He knew that he was taking a risk by revealing himself to the world, but he also knew that he had no other choice. Iris' health was his top priority.

When they arrived at the hospital, Vauban carefully set Iris in a nearby wheelchair before stepping back into the recesses of her mind. And for several hours, he watched and waited, as the doctors worked to stabilize Iris' condition.

Finally, as dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight illuminated the hospital room, Iris began to stir. And as she opened her eyes, she knew that something was different.

Iris: (groggily) Vauban? What happened?

Vauban: (in Iris' head) You passed out, Iris. I had to get you to a hospital. But don't worry, you're going to be fine.

Iris: (confused) How did you... Why did you...

Vauban: (sighing) I had to take over your consciousness, Iris. Your body was too weak to function properly, and I couldn't risk you dying on me. But don't worry, I won't do it again unless it's absolutely necessary.

Iris: (nodding slowly) Okay. Thank you, Vauban.

As the two of them reunited within Iris' mind, they both knew that things had changed. For better or for worse, they were in this together, and they would have to find a way to work together if they were going to survive. But as long as they had each other, they knew that they could face any challenge, no matter how great or formidable.
