"It is  Ember, right?" He smiles. "My name's Quinn Canton, and I'd... kind of like to thank you for saving my life." He extends a hand. "I'd also like to find out if you'd be willing to talk about what just happened. On camera or off. Your choice."
"Yes it's Ember. And of course no need to thank me I'm just doing my job." Then she thinks for a moment. Thinking back to when patrol told her to lay low which she has been doing somewhat. Eh screw it "sure I'm cool with being on camera. As long as I dont look like a fool." She says that last part likes it a bad joke.

Canton nods to the camera crew, who assume positions automatically, framing the two of you with the struggling beast in the distant background, being wrangled by AEGIS.  Canton opens his mouth to speak, then closes it, shaking his head and smirking a little. You get the impression the bit of mockery on his face is aimed at himself. Then he straightens, nods to the camera operator, and waits for the ready light. "Hello Halcyon City. I'm Quinn Canton, and the fact I'm alive to talk to you right now is thanks to two young heroes you may not recognize. This is Ember, who first came on scene less than six months ago, and sorry to say I don't know her partner..." "Makeshift." Alex clears their throat. "We're not - we both attend Phoenix Academy, but we're not partners, like on a team." Their voice starts dropping off and winding down, as if they realize they're making a hash of the introduction. "Just classmates." Canton's smile broadens. "Makeshift. Great to meet you, and I personally know we're lucky to have you around." He turns back to Ember. "So, Phoenix Academy was closed down until only a few years ago, and I'm unfamiliar with the course curriculum. Do you get extra credit for fighting monsters and saving lives on the weekend?"
"I think you can if you register your team with the school like the honor roll for example but my team didn't do that. I think to us and makeshift here, it was more about saving people than getting recognition and good grades."

"That's remarkable. What prompted that ..." He shakes his head, smiling again. "I'm going to sound corny and call it 'heroic altruism'. Where does that come from for you?"
"My dad. He was a superhero too but he didn't have powers. He always went out of his way to help people even when it cost him his life." Embers is getting a little teary eyed but shes trying to cover it up.

When you open up in an interview with Quinn Canton , roll + Mundane. On a hit, Quinn shows real empathy and you can clear a condition. On a 10+, the public also reacts positively. Say how the public sees you now, and adjust your Labels accordingly (anything is fine, as long as the total is the same). On a miss, the public finds your words over dramatic, too calculated, too sappy, or just too... something. Someone decides to dig up and make public information you’d prefer to stay private. If you have influence over Quinn Canton, take a +1 on the roll. Canton wasn't expecting your answer, perhaps thinking it would be something lighter and... well, something he imagines a high schooler would say, but he covers it well, nodding seriously. "I and, I think, the city, deeply appreciate both your father's sacrifice and your willingness to follow in his footsteps as well." [I'll clear Angry.] He turns to the camera. "I'm afraid AEGIS has dibs on the lengthy interviews today, so that is everything from News 8, but I think we'll see - and hear - more from the young heroes of our city. I'm Quinn Canton, thanking our heroes for being heroes. See you this evening, Halcyon City." The camera lowers, and Canton relaxes, then smiles. "Thanks again, Ember. Makeshift. For the interview, but mostly keeping us from becoming a monster snack. I hope we can talk again soon, when we're both well-prepared." He shakes your hand, then gives you a hug, impulsively, and moves out of the way, which is when you can see Emilio at the back of the crowd, grinning like an absolute loon. "Ahh," says Alex, having spotted him as well. "Maybe we can debrief later." They smile and wink. "Thanks again for letting me help out."
"Ya of course it was... fun I guess." Ember then speed walks over to Emilio. "Why are you smiling like that you like a happy idiot." She says while she starts smiling really big.

"My girlfriend is a famous superhero," he says, his accent barely contained. "Why wouldn't I be smiling?" He takes your hand "Should we get out of here, or would you like to stay and bask in the adoration of your fans?"
"Um I think I have had enough attention from strangers today we can get out of here. And I'm not THAT famous. You're cute when you get excited."

Emilio nods sagely, his eyes gazing into the distance. "I am adorable, that is true." He walks as he talks, leading you down the street. "Now, I must confess: I want to see this whole city with you, but I am also feeling very lazy today, and just want to cuddle under a blanket and eat delicious, unhealthy food." He rounds the corner and stops. You're standing in front of two beautiful horses, in rigging and attached to a fancy open carriage. "And then I thought, 'why not both?'" He opens the half-door leading up the the carriage, and you can see the interior is plush, piled with several blankets, and that half the floorboard is taken up with a positively ridiculously over-sized picnic basket.
Embers jaw just drops.  "Emilio...wh...I" then she just kisses him on the cheek and gets into the carriage "You. Are. The. Best!"

[Okay, for now, I think I'd like to close this particular arc. I think this is a sweet stopping point. Thoughts? If you have something you want to do here, I can keep going, but it's a nice ending, too.]
I agree I think this is a great stopping point.
