Superhero Mira, pressured on all sides to start killing villains by her peers (most of whom do so) her parents (legacy hero’s) her brother (who is a jerk) and the media.
Civilian (no powers) Zoey is the only one who tells her not to kill the villains, instead arresting them and putting them through the courts via gadgets she makes/info about their powers.
Rumi who’s a “Supervillain” (who targets corrupt hero’s and takes away their powers) runs into a burning building and saves Zoey. (Zoey was caught in the crossfire between Mira and Rumi.)
Zoey is obviously working with one of the hero’s, so Rumi takes as much of her gear as she can along with Zoey to get info. (She intimidates but won’t hurt her.)
Mira assumes she kidnapped Zoey and is planning on torturing her. She ends up finding them a week later where Rumi is literally on her knees begging Zoey to leave her secret lair, no, stop, why are you taking apart my sunlamp, WHERE DID YOU GET URANIUM?? Stuff like that.
So Mira ends up just casually walking up behind Rumi and hugging her (her flame powers would let her burn Rumi to a cinder, and Rumi’s teleport wouldn’t work while someone’s holding her). She asks Zoey if she’s ok, and Zoey starts rambling about how nice Rumi is and how she refused to torture Zoey “even though she wanted info about *insert transparently corrupt hero’s name here* which I do have.”
For Mira it clicks really fast that Rumi isn’t targeting hero’s as a whole, specifically corrupt ones after she sees the meticulous notes Rumi has. (She let go of Rumi and started rifling through them despite her protests.)
(“Did you color code your notes about hero’s costumes?”
Rumi, who is blushing and stuttering and trying to grab the papers Mira is holding out of her reach and flustered in a way Mira’s never seen:)
Basically, the two of them adopt Rumi into their little group of “no-kill hero’s-villains-civilians”.
I dunno, I just think it’d be really funny cus before this all happened Rumi was known to be terrifying for the way she’d cripple or strip hero’s of their powers, with the exception of Mira or hero’s she knows are actually good people.
