The meeting with your boss. The weird numbers.

Bruce Wayne is Batman.
Clark Kent is Superman.
Diana Prince is Wonder Woman.

You start to sweat. You flip your visor down, open the mirror, and stare at your reflection.

And watch with horror as your own number changes from two to eight.

@drmaddkap Fabulous little read. Great ending. I was gripped. Nice work!

@drmaddkap I’m wondering what is the timeframe for the assessment. Is it an hour, a day, a month? Since it can change, it means it’s not a lifetime value. So for example if Jackie Rando is a 2, but next month will accidentally trigger an industrial accident, their value goes up dramatically, then after the accident it will go down. But if the change is detected in time, maybe the accident can be avoided. Not a useless power at all.

@drmaddkap
You then look in the rear view mirror & see a shadowy figure as the passenger in a cab, also an 8. They have an odd looking smile as they seem to notice you staring at them now.

@drmaddkap question: is the number reflected?
For an 8 it might not matter (depending on the typography) but how did the 2 usually appear on a mirror?
