"I can make people feel things, Feel hurt, feel sad.." First time she told me that, I didn't know how to feel.. but I could feel she was being honest! This feeling of.. She'd never lie to me, never want to be away from me.. and I felt the same way!

"I wouldn't leave you unless you left me.."
"I'd only leave, if you left me first!"
-
I can't feel it anymore. The feeling of feeling invincible . Incredible. It's just me now.. I don't work for anyone. It's just me.
-
"How are you doing, need anyone out there?" "No, I'm fine.. I'm doing okay. How's the team?" "Just the same.. Captain tagged me to a mission with Heels this time." "Heelix? " "Yup, I might be getting a new partner!" "A replacement?" "Maybe someone with super speed this time! Hey listen, If you don't think you can stay out there any longer Hare, you can always come back to the team! No one can replace you!" "I'm not coming back Guen! (Gwen) I'd never go back there.." (A pause) "My mission starts Sunday! I have training.. Bye Hare!"

No one understands.

The door knocked. Henry answers the door.. "Henry- Jasper!" "Casper! How can I help you?" Casper stands in front of the doorway.. blocking it. "You haven't answered any of my calls! You're not texting me either!" Henry stared at her for a while. It's Charlotte. "Charlotte, I don't even remember your last name!" "It's okay-" "Can you go now?" Henry said with a short temper. "I'll call back, when my shift ends!" Henry closed the door.

I've found myself being impatient with everyone.. getting angry!
-
"Have you been sleeping?" "No.. Yes!" "And who's this, Charlotte girl?" "She's just a girl I worked with.."
-
I still haven't found anything to do living here. I don't speak much to people. Only thanks, and I'll see you later! I don't wanna talk.. At all! I just want to be to myself, and think..
-
"I'm working a ten hour shift at April's!" "That's great Hare.." she said, being occupied with something else. "How do you feel about that?" "I feel great! How'd your mission go with Heelix?" "Alright.. He's not as equipped as I thought!" She continued, "And I'm okay Hare.. So don't go taking a plane ride, to go beat up poor Heels for me! I might even switch with Jane.." "And who's that?" "I've prompted!" "You've prompted?" Henry said hotly. "Yeah, I'm thinking of leaving the force soon!" "You can't do that!" "Why not Hare? You did it!" A silence. "God, I'm sorry, Hare! I've been switched over so many times!" A silence. "I've just been under a lot of stress.." Another silence. "I just killed a boy last week, Hare! He was nine.." A greater silence. "What do you even want me to say?" "God Henry, you're not the only one who's hurting! Not everyone can just walk away like you did!" I hung up the phone.

Guen would call me every Friday, just to see how I was doing. She stopped calling. She was on a long distance mission.
..
I stopped going to work.. Charlotte stopped calling. I decided to call the force!
..
"Collins!" "Yeah, I was wondering if I could get tagged for a mission?" "I can't do that Collins.." "Well I need to do something!" There was a brief pause between the two. "Well you can try calling later to speak to Myers-" "I already spoke to him!" I snapped. I lied. She waited. "I can see to tag you with a few members, but in a simple team mission! Of course I'll get Myers' approval first.. We'll probably need you here by Monday.. If we get the approval! And Wednesday, we'll get you suited!"

Not everyone is as heroic as they say they were. So why judge me?
