a supervillain walks into a house | Quirk #7

So it's Monday and therefore not Saturday anywhere

But I do have a good reason for being busy on Saturday! Excuses fun story below the Quirk!*

Annnnyway here's my beta-reader tale for this Quirk:

Me: Mum can you read this, and just so you know, because last time you didn't realise they were superheroes, this is a world where superheroes are common.

Mum: can't you write something normal 



Security is less than it should be. The sentries around the back of the house are talking; the one across the street is texting. They don’t notice the glimmer of his cape as he walks, invisible and silent-footed, between them. The front door is locked, but he deals with that.

The scent of the flowers piled on the doormat wafts in with him as he steps inside, a jumble of clashing perfumes that hang heavy around his head.

Quirk #7 | plus an About Me tag where I avoid all answers

It's the first Saturday of March, which means a Quirk prompt! 

Because some of you have been feeding me ridiculously good short stories and this has encouraged me, like the stray cat I am, to keep coming back. 

I'm feeling like this week's prompt could contain a lot of emotion, if that's the direction you wish to take?? (It mentions blood. I know there are several of you who will be happy to hear this.)
