The crowd is swept away by the infectious energy of "Size Matters," and Zylen finds himself caught up in the rhythm. As Lil Biggie delivers his mocking verses, he watches in delight as Amir shifts sizes seamlessly, sometimes towering twenty feet tall, other times shrinking back to a more manageable height. Each change is perfectly timed with the lyrics, a visual representation of the playful jabs he's throwing at the small-time supervillains that have come and gone.
"Mafia Baby was a don,
A criminal Benjamin Button,
'Protecting' shop owners for a fee,
We beat his gang up and sent him straight to juvy!"
Laughter erupts from the audience, and Zylen can't help but join in, the clever wordplay and relatable humor making it impossible to resist. The crowd chants along, their voices blending into a powerful chorus that fills the venue with an exuberant spirit. It's a celebration of not just Amir's talent, but of their shared experiences as heroes, sidekicks, and everyday people who've encountered their fair share of ridiculous villains.
"Then there are those who don't even deserve to be mentioned,
Like that dude Subliminal who saw a dog and fainted,
Or Sugar Daddy who could turn into glucose,
He got defeated by an old lady with a hose,
And that vampire guy, I forgot his name,
Taken down by a drunk priest up in Maine."
The crowd goes wild, laughter and cheers reverberating through the air. Zylen glances around, taking in the ecstatic faces and the bright lights from phones capturing the moment. "I love you, LB!" someone shouts, their voice cutting through the joyous uproar, and it's clear that Amir has captivated hearts beyond just his musical prowess.
Zylen's heart swells with pride for Amir. This is what it means to be a hero—a connection to people that transcends the mask, a celebration of the human experience, even when it involves poking fun at the absurdities of their world. The camaraderie in the room is palpable, a collective acknowledgment of their shared struggles and triumphs.
As the music swells, Zylen feels the urge to contribute even more. With each beat, he channels his energy, sending out bursts of light that dance along with the music, mirroring the joy and excitement of the crowd. The lights flash in sync with Amir's performance, creating a captivating visual spectacle that enhances the atmosphere.
In this moment, surrounded by friends and fans, Zylen understands that they are all part of a larger narrative—a story of resilience, laughter, and the shared journey of navigating the complexities of heroism.
