We can't call ourselves that.
Whether you're a superhero, self-made vigilante, super villain, or Oracle-esque commander, you're going to have some interesting interpersonal relationships. Whether it's between yourself and a civilian or yourself and another Super-- or worse, yourself and the law-- it's going to be a doozy.
FEEL FREE TO ALTER THESE PROMPTS TO YOUR NEEDS.
Relationships don't necessarily have to be romantic to work in this context.
DYNAMICS:
Super (hero? villain?) vs Civilian: Maybe they're your best friend, or maybe they're the object of your affections-- but they're still in danger if your nemesis finds out!
Super vs Super: Things should be a little easier, right? You're superfriends, right!? Do you know each other's identities, or is this friendship/partnership strictly business?
Opposing Sides: Whether you're good versus evil or Vigilante versus the Law, this situation is a bit... stickier. Can your feelings of compassion cross the boundaries or is this a "fuck it, let's hatemance" situation?
RELATIONSHIP IDEAS:
DOMESTIC: Whatever the difficulties are, somehow you and your partner have made things work. Maybe no one bothers your best friend, or you and your love live happily ever after and you come home after the daily grind. Maybe you and your opposing-side partner enjoy working against each other and coming home to share the same bed. What the hell ever. It's your household, homies.
EARLY STAGES: You are just an idiot with a crush. Maybe you're an idiot with a crush on a superhero. Maybe you're a super idiot with a crush on a civilian idiot. Basically, you're gross and embarrassing and belong on a High School Musical TV Show.
FULL SWING: Alright, Clark and Lois-- maybe you're not domestic, but this romance (bromance?) is in full bloom. No longer in your puppy love stages, you're now at least Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy calibre.
RELUCTANT: You tsundere pieces of shit. Whatever. You don't like this whole communication deal-- but you can't let this person you like get in trouble, can you?
PROMPTS:
SAVE THE PRINCESS: You heard me. That kid you've got your eye on went and got themselves in trouble, and you just can't let that fly. Whether it's because they're the love of your life or because you're going to be the one to take them down, you've gotta pull a rescue mission, stat.
BRAIN DRAIN: That episode of every superhero cartoon where the closest person you've got is suddenly brainwashed to be evil? That's your life now. Have fun pulling them back from the brink.
HURT ON THE JOB: Maybe you don't have to pull a rescue, but that person is now in your care. Or maybe it's the super who's in need of a bit of TLC this time...
FAKED A DEATH: Every superhero plotline has one. Someone's gotta fake their death, even to their most important person. Now you have the chance to reveal you're alive-- but at what cost?
EVERY TIME?: Not a single date, hangout, or playtime goes undisturbed. Your favourite super is a tardy son of a bitch, and you're tired of plans being cancelled.
TEAM PLAYER: This person? You've got it bad for them. You've got it so bad-- but you can't tell them that. You've gotta keep it under wraps, because you're both playing for the same Super Team, and you can't upset the balance.
ONE TRUE NEMESIS: So, what if you never knew the identity of that rival of yours? Aaand what if one day you found out that rival... was actually the "civilian" you were close to? Definitely not a conversation for the thanksgiving table.
