The world was forever changed in 1938 with the arrival of the world's first superhero. Since then, there has been several generations of heroes, each one greater than the last, shaping history and the very notion of what superheroing is. Nowadays most heroes are far too busy dealing with cosmic threats, leaving their cities under the protection of smaller heroes, sidekicks, and underfunded programs. Patrons is a collection of stories following a multigenerational superhero community, and how they see and influence the world.

A: Ok... are we recording?  
B: Yeah  
A: Fantastic. Experimental Trail number... seventeen.  
B: Wow. That’s a lot of failures.  
A: Shut up.  
B: I’m just saying. I’m tired of being down here. What does the home office think of how many assets are being used on your pet project over here? Have you told them?  
A: Subject appears stable, so far. Brainwaves are normal. Heart Rate is normal.  
B: Are you ignoring me? Seriously?  
A: There is no deterioration in the Subject. At this point, 43 seconds in, Subject 17 has surpassed all of the previous experiments.  
B: That’s incredibly rude.  
A: Subject is now stable enough to enter REM sleep.  
B: Moment of truth.  
A: Subject 17 is now entering REM sleep.  
B: He’s twitching a lot.  
A: The Record will show that this amount of twitching is... normal.  
C: THE KING HAS LEFT HIS CROWN AND THE JESTER SHALL LEAVE HIS HALL  
B: Good lord!  
A: Subject 17 is screaming and writhing in the bed. Experiment may be successful.  
C:  THE FOREST WILL WITHER AND LEAVE IT’S PRINCE AN ORPHAN  
B: Successful? THIS is what successful looks like? Shut it down, -redacted-!  
C: THE HERALD IS COMING, THE HERALD IS HERE, THE GARDEN IS COMING, THE GARDEN IS HERE, THE HERALD IS COMING, THE HERALD IS HERE
A: Not yet! We’re almost there!  
B: I said, SHUT. IT. DOWN. Emergency protocol red eye, I said RED- *recording ends*

“Hey Henry, recently I discovered something that I thought you would find interesting. Have you ever really looked into the background of our fair town? I was doing some light reading in the public records. I know, how unlike me. But it was for a theory I had, and as you would expect, there was a lot of boring, dry paperwork to slog through. Not my idea of a fun time. Anyway, the interesting thing wasn’t what I found there. Rather, it was what I didn’t find. Henry, do you know what year Eden’s Grove was founded? You would be hard pressed to know the answer. And the funny thing is, you can’t look it up. Because there are no records of the town’s founding, at least as far as I can tell. And trust me, I have looked everywhere. So if you happen to find them, let me know. And while you’re at it, could you tell me the town’s population, slogan, charter, and a million other things too? Because as far as I can tell, they’ve never existed.”

“My Love, 

I am writing to tell you that I won’t be coming home after all. I’m terribly sorry Red. I know this isn’t what we agreed to, but you’ll have to look after the Lounge for me a little longer. Or indefinitely. There was an accident. Even now, I’m not really sure what happened. Something strange was affecting the scout. He led us into a clearing in the forest. At least, I think it was in the forest. All of the trees looked like they were shaped like people, or like one person. Anyway, it wasn’t where we planned, and he stopped responding to us. We started asking him where he had brought us and then it all just went bad. There was a scuffle with the scout. We tried our best to restrain them, but... anyway. 
There was a bit of nothing, or at least, I can’t remember anything. Someone came and woke me up. They said that I’d be going away for a while. The whole expedition will. I managed to convince them to let me write you one last letter. So here I am, sitting here in their carriage, trying to think of something to say to you. I know you’ll be reading this, the driver promised they’d get it to you. So I really need to think of what I want to say. 
I hope you’re ok. And the Lounge too. But mostly you. I miss you a lot, and I just wish I could’ve seen you one more time. I know you don’t like running the Lounge, but please keep it open for me. It would mean so much to me, and let’s be honest. Despite all of your gifts, you still need money. Well, you might not need money, but you definitely need the attention. 
I want to tell you that I wish I had done it all differently. I want to tell you that you were right, I never should have left on this expedition. I should have stayed at the Lounge, and been with you, and lived my life in this horrible nightmare town. But I don’t want to lie to you. Not when we never... anyway. 

Stay beautiful Red, Reina Caraway

An excerpt from Henry’s Notes and Supernatural Encyclopedia 

Creature: The Beast of Bray Road is named after the cryptid’s main territory. While it has been spotted in a few other locations, though historically its most famous and frequent appearances have been on its namesake. However, most recently it seems that Eden’s Grove has become its most favorite haunt. The Beast has been seen by several hunters, due to its massive size, obvious method of hunting, and it’s general lack of fear for humans. That must be nice. Anyway, despite all of this, the hunters have been unable to eliminate the Beast because of its unique properties. Somehow it is able to teleport, or warp space in some way, that allows it to appear wherever it wants, as long as there is a road there. I would love to be able to study how it does this, but frankly as long as we get it off the streets I’ll be happy. 
Appearance: It appears as a large, carnivorous mammal, in the family of wolves or bears perhaps. It has a thick hide of grey fur, and several large canine teeth and tusk like fangs. Basically a beastal apex predator. It seems to be comfortable in domesticated and wild areas alike, according to my sources. Personally, the idea that it’s nice filled maw could appear outside my window at any time has kept me up at night more times than I can count. 
Behaviors: It appears to act exactly like one would expect of an aggressive, territorial animal. It is either very confident, or very stupid. My sources have reported that it has little to no fear towards humans. This is especially obvious in the fact that it freely patrols the roads in and out of town, and has some way of seamlessly transitioning between physical spaces. It is unclear if it chooses to do this, or if it is in fact a passive ability the Beast does not control. Perhaps the animal’s aggression is linked to confusion? If its passive, there’s a chance that the Beast has no control over it. 
Notes: I hate this thing.
