Panel 1:
The scene opens with No Plot Man walking through a bustling downtown street, coffee in hand, wearing his usual grumpy superhero expression. Pedestrians walk by, some giving him the occasional glance, but he's used to it.
Narration Box: "Sometimes, a hero's life isn't filled with dramatic battles or explosive confrontations. Sometimes, it's just the weird guy in the street, trying to get his morning coffee without causing a scene."
No Plot Man (thinking): "I'll take a break from saving the world. Just me, my coffee, and some unappreciated side-eye."
Panel 2:
As No Plot Man strolls down the street, a young woman approaches him from behind. She's holding a notepad and a pen, looking incredibly excited. She taps his shoulder.
Young Woman (with wide eyes): "Oh my gosh, you're No Plot Man! I can't believe it! You're my absolute favorite hero!"
Panel 3:
No Plot Man turns, slightly startled by the sudden attention. He blinks, trying to process her over-enthusiastic energy.
No Plot Man (deadpan): "Uh, thanks. You… you know who I am?"
Young Woman (nodding vigorously): "Of course! You're amazing! I saw you take down that giant donut monster last week! And when you stopped that runaway vending machine from crushing the kids at the park—epic!"
Panel 4:
The woman pulls out her notepad and starts scribbling notes. No Plot Man is still unsure about how to handle the situation. A few passersby glance at him with raised eyebrows.
No Plot Man (thinking): "This is getting weird. Am I getting stalked by a fan? Wait, I've had fans before… but this is a whole new level."
Panel 5:
The woman continues writing rapidly, barely looking up at him.
Young Woman (excitedly): "So, I'm making a scrapbook about your heroic feats! Do you have a favorite moment from your career? Maybe a quote? Oh, and can I get your autograph?"
No Plot Man (flatly): "A scrapbook? Seriously? What am I, a celebrity?"
Panel 6:
No Plot Man sighs and takes a sip of his coffee. The young woman is practically bouncing with joy, her eyes sparkling.
No Plot Man (grinning slightly): "Okay, fine. But I'm not signing anything if it's about my 'big heroic moments.' I don't need anyone thinking I'm some kind of 'greatest hero.' I'm just No Plot Man. I get the job done… eventually."
Young Woman (nodding enthusiastically): "Totally! That's what makes you so awesome! You don't have all these flashy gimmicks, but when it's time to act, you're there!"
Panel 7:
The woman pulls out a small folder from her bag and hands it to No Plot Man. Inside are several pictures of him in action—most of them taken from strange angles or in moments of accidental chaos.
Young Woman (blushing): "I made this! Do you like it? It's a collage of your heroic moments… well, your more unusual ones!"
No Plot Man (looking at the pictures): "…Oh boy. Is that me getting kicked by a sentient cactus? And why is that vending machine glowing in the picture?"
Panel 8:
The woman giggles, clearly unphased by the unusual nature of the images. No Plot Man raises an eyebrow, slightly perplexed.
Young Woman (grinning): "I know! That was such an intense moment! You handled it so well!"
No Plot Man: "You… you're not even fazed by any of this, are you?"
Panel 9:
The young woman shakes her head vigorously, her smile getting even bigger.
Young Woman: "No way! You're real! It's so rare to see someone like you. You don't do things for fame or fortune—you just… do what's right. Even if it's kind of weird."
No Plot Man (pausing, thinking): "Well, I guess that's true. I am the hero that nobody asked for… but I still get the job done."
Panel 10:
The young woman excitedly asks for a selfie, and No Plot Man, still unsure of what's going on, reluctantly agrees. She pulls out her phone, and they both awkwardly pose in front of a random fountain in the background.
Young Woman: "Okay, say 'heroic!'"
No Plot Man: "…Heroic. I guess?"
Panel 11:
The selfie is taken. The woman is ecstatic, and No Plot Man looks more uncomfortable than ever. She thanks him profusely and walks away, her phone out as she starts looking through the pictures she just took.
Young Woman (calling over her shoulder): "Thank you, No Plot Man! You're the best! I'm going to tell everyone I met you!"
Panel 12:
No Plot Man watches her leave, rubbing the back of his head. He takes a deep breath, trying to process the interaction.
No Plot Man (thinking): "Okay, that was… something. Not exactly the world-shaking crisis I'm used to. But, hey, maybe it's nice to be appreciated… in a totally weird way."
Panel 13:
Later that evening, No Plot Man sits alone on his favorite park bench (the new, sturdier one). He looks at his phone, which is now flooded with notifications from the young woman. Her hashtag "#MyFavoriteHero" is trending on social media, and there are fan accounts with his picture from the selfie.
No Plot Man (sighing): "Oh no. What did I do…?"
Panel 14 (final panel):
A mysterious figure watches No Plot Man from the shadows, a clipboard in hand. They stare at the trending hashtag and tap their chin thoughtfully.
Shadowy Figure: "This is… interesting. Time to get involved."
Narration Box: "With great fan attention comes great responsibility… or maybe just more weirdness."
