Hero Flug AU (The Plane at the Side of the Building)
(Hero Flug AU Summary: Flug didn’t manage to escape on an ominous aircraft after his battle with GoldHeart and work for BlackHat. GoldHeart convinces him to “reform” and become a Hero)
GoldHeart basically carried Flug’s plane and shoved it into the side of the Heart Dome of his building, while Flug went out for a meeting.
Here are the reasons why he did it:
_______________________________________________________________
Reason 1: Pettiness / Bragging Rights
It is universally known in the Heroic community that Heroes who have redeemed their Villains, (especially their Arch-Nemesis) will have eternal bragging rights forever.
So GoldHeart, placed Flug’s plane at the side of the Heart Dome of his building as a trophy to show off to the public that he redeemed his former Arch-Nemesis. And just out of sheer pettiness to get under Flug’s skin that he has the bragging rights.
_______________________________________________________________
Reason 2: Observation
Flug is a newly “redeemed” Villain in a high position in the Hero world, so living together would help GoldHeart keep an eye on him for the time being.
_______________________________________________________________
Reason 3: Good Company
GoldHeart genuinely enjoys Flug’s company. Even when they we’re Arch- Nemesis it was always fun to banter, share quips and match wits with someone he considers his level.
A lot of Heroes find GoldHeart intimidating due to his high power and position in P.E.A.C.E. and the Hero community, so they rarely joke around with him.
Due to Flug and GoldHeart relationship as Arch-Nemesis, GoldHeart is not pressured to put on a facade around Flug like he does with the media or the press. (Flug doesn’t fall it that anyway). So GoldHeart finds it easy speak his mind, banter, and exchange sassy remarks with Flug, without the moral obligation and pressure of having him have to like him.
So now that they are allies their relationship can only go upwards cause already fought and even tried to kill each other in as Arch-Nemesis, so it can’t get strained or any get any lower than that.

Reason 4: Flug’s Current Living Condition
GoldHeart offered Flug to live in the Golden Rule Building in his penthouse or at least one of the guest bedrooms because his lab is going to be built there.
But Flug declined saying that he is more comfortable living in his broken down plane in P.E.A.C.E. Headquarters’ aircraft hanger and it would be a hassle moving all his sensitive equipment and personal belongings out of the plane.
Besides, the Golden Rule Building is only around 7 mins driving distance from P.E.A.C.E. Headquarters and there is a chuffer that drives him back and forth. (Note: It is based on the distance between the Empire State Building and The UN HQ)
GoldHeart can’t have his reputable scientist and Former Arch-Nemesis living like that.

GoldHeart: Flug, you are the equivalent of a hobo living in a trailer, in a parking lot. Don’t be stubborn. We have a swimming pool and a bowling alley in the Golden Rule Building.
Dr. Flug: Don’t compare my state-of-the-art plane to a trailer, GoldHeart! Besides, it wouldn’t have been broken if you didn’t destroy the engine!
GoldHeart: Oh come on Flug, that was necessary, all is fair in love-and-war. Besides, you were headed towards a large, ominous hat-shaped cloud and I wouldn’t be able to catch you.
GoldHeart: Anyways, don’t change the subject, we even have an indoor movie theater so you can watch that show that you like. What was it called…? “Codigo Guacamole”? (Code Guacamole)
Dr. Flug: IT’S PRONOUNCED “CODIGO GUAJOLOTE”!! (CODE TURKEY)
GoldHeart: Whatever. Anyways we also have…
(That’s how their convo basically went)

So anyways, GoldHeart was quite stubborn and persistent with the issue and this is how it lead to this situation…
