I'm not sure how the hospital can even know how to treat this particular ailment. A more conventional story in Superhero comics is for another superhero/mutant with such powers to take the boy under his wing and teach him how to control his powers and potentially groom him into a more powerful successor to himself. Especially considering this Silver Crusader also has psychic powers himself, that's kind of a missed opportunity.When you arrive at the house, a young boy opens the door. "Wow!" he gasps. "The Silver Crusader' come to see us! Er...if you want to see my dad, he's not in. But you can come in, anyway." You explain that it is him you want to see and you ask whether he's had any interesting dreams recently. He tells you about this 'really neat' one he's just had about a huge green monster rising out of the fountain and attacking people. Your suspicions were correct. This is the 'Brain Child' you were warned about. His dreams are so vivid that they actually come to life. His mother appears and you explain the situation. She will see that he is taken to a hospital immediately for treatment. You have saved the city from any number of possible disasters here. Add 3 Hero Points. His mother tells you that her son sometimes has premonitions of the future. He was talking the other day about something that might be important. Apparently a man in control of wild animals was using them to get some sort of revenge. He had a secret room under a lion's cage with a special trapdoor leading from it. With this information you can search for such a secret room, if you arrive at a lion's cage, by adding 50 to the reference you are on at the time and turning to this new reference. You may add 1 LUCK point for this information. Leave when you are ready and return to Radd Square.
Wait, why is it our 'public duty' do waste time signing autographs? I understand celebrity artistes having to do that because their fans are their main revenue source, but surely we have better things to do? Why don't we have the option to just ignore them and go to work?You leave the square to head for work. If only things were that easy. The Radd Square crowd has now focused its attention on you, and those papers and pencil ae once more being thrust into your face. A weasel-faced man catches your eye: 'Psst! Hey, you, Crusader! Over here." He looks a little suspicious and is holding a pencil and paper too. Will you go over and see what he has to say, or will you do your public duty and sigh autographs for the crowd?
