Story Challenge

Fallen Hero

Even those you've looked up to all your life are not immune to carnal desire! This challenge is meant to cover all kind of heroes, including your personal heroes, heroes of society, imaginary heroes, heroes in your family, and yes, also super-heroes. You can use spandex and all, but please don't limit yourself to the usual super-hero tropes.
Besides the usual rules on this site, a story submitted for this challenge should: * The story must tell a story about some kind of hero who has somehow fallen from his pedestal. * The authors are not shown until the final results are up - to keep up the suspense! * The whole story must be contained in a single submission, it's not possible for one author to submit more than one story! * The stories should be short enough to be enjoyed in a single "session". I don't recommend stories much longer than 10.000 words.
Submission deadline: March 20, 2021 at 11:59:59 PM GMT

Dan took me out for a camping trip once, and after a hard first day, I asked if he knew any scary stories. Little did I know how prepared he'd been for the question. (Hypno Bear Week 2021)
Codec isn't much of a superhero. His powers allow him to manipulate and read information. But he's always concealed the extent of those powers because he never really wanted the cape life in the first place. A chance encounter in the gym showers is gonna change all that.
