Late July, 2024. Seattle, Washington.

Bjorn had been on patrol one night, when he witnessed a black-clad crew exit a van in an alleyway, and enter
one of the large commercial buildings downtown. Investigating, he discovered a robbery was in-progress,
and did what his superhero status called upon him to do. The gang was populated by brawny individuals,
clearly skilled in security work; individuals Bjorn might have considered attractive, off-duty. Here, however,
he used his skill and strength to subdue them one by one. As he exited the service areas, he eventually came
upon a vault: the criminals' target. The group's leader was present in this room: a titanic humanoid of
monstrous muscular proportions. Keeping his emotions in check, Bjorn moved in to put a stop to the robbery,
eventually ending up in one-on-one combat with the bear-headed leader. To his astonishment, the fight
turned into a wrestling match that lasted over ten minutes. Despite his skill and agility, Bjorn eventually
found himself embraced by the giant's arms, and after his helpless struggles, the world went dark.

When he was restored, he found himself in comfortable accommodations, and was soon met by a group of
suited individuals who thanked him for his success in stopping the robbery. The owner of the bank presented
him with a ten-thousand dollar check, and the security manager, a towering, thick-bearded, broad-shouldered
man named Gustaf Bernhardt, whose suit barely seemed to fit him, congratulated him on exposing flaws in
their security, without loss of product. Satisfied with the outcome, but uncertain what must have happened
during his unconscious hour, Bjorn recovered over the course of two weeks, before resuming his patrol and
coming across another robbery by the same group of individuals. Bjorn once again confronted the bear-
masked leader, though he found himself outnumbered. This time, words were shared, and it was made clear
that the villain relished the opportunity to wrestle Bjorn, but that it was not the time nor place.

To Bjorn's surprise, the group retreated, and once more he found himself hailed as a defender of property
and resource. Again, he was presented with a reward, and a promise that greater, constant security would
prevent the villainous group from staging a robbery a third time. Met with again by the towering security
manager, Gus, Bjorn was invited to a planned dinner event, and he accepted the offer. Days later, he arrived
at Gus' home, only to discover the place had been seemingly broken into. Stealthily entering the home, Bjorn
investigated his way into the residence's basement, where he was confronted with a wrestling mat in the
center of the room...as well as the hulking, bear-headed figure of the villain leader, awaiting him.

Bernhardt ended up enjoying the match somewhat more than Bjorn. He figured the young hero was likely in
some fear at being in such peril, not knowing Gus' alter-ego. For months, Bernhardt had donned his bear-
head mask to conceal his identity, while attempting to break into his own security systems, in order to
ascertain weaknesses and constantly improve the products he sold to his high-value, high-risk customers.
Now, however, he found not only a more entertaining side of his moonlighting, but also someone who seemed
to share not only his passion for wrestling, but a desire to wrestle him. Their union was strange within
the world of superheroes and villains, who were otherwise destined to despise each-other for obvious
reasons, but Bernhardt was delighted by how things were working out thus far, and wondered what Bjorn's
reaction might be, upon the discovery of his true identity...
