"In a shocking twist of events a new Costumed hero seemed to save Steel-Girl, many are questioning where she came from, and whether she is working with the Hero" the reporter says. I try to get up, but my Ribs have other ideas.
"You need to rest, you'll heal, but not if you make it worse beforehand." Mom says.
"How's Mia doing?" I ask.
"She's doing good, her new suit is finished, and she's doing really good with her powers." Mom responds.
I hear gunshots. Augh! I'm so tired of being stuck in this bed! Especially when there's people getting hurt!
"Don't worry, Mia's helping out while you're healing" Mom says.
My Accelerated healing allows me to heal from things that wouldn't kill normal people, but it still feels too slow!
I can hear an explosion, and instantly check my phone. I text Mia.
"U ok?" I ask.
"Fighting mech suit guys, text l8er" She responds.
God I feel so useless here! My Grip tightens on my phone as the battery goes from 70% to 7%, electricity flowing from my Phone, to around my arm, and seemingly dissipating. I can feel My body healing faster.
I grab my watch, and open my window. My Watch forms into my suit, as I fly out. I don't feel like explaining or arguing with Mom right now, It felt like I was cooped up in there for too long.
I get a notification about a Super-Villain, and rocket off.
A man in a mostly black and Red suit throws a Car. I caught it, and set it down.
"Whoah, someone never taught you to be gentle with others' possessions." I say.
"Natalie Pallissa.." he says. Shit! That's not good.
He shoots a red energy blast at me, as I crash into a wall.
"Who are you!?" I ask.
"What? Don't recognize me? Your Father and I fought all the time. The name PowerBank ring a bell?" He asks. Oh that's even worse!
"You… You're supposed to be dead!" I Yell out.
"I survived, no thanks to your dad." He says. In the blink of an eye he's already closed the distance between us, and Knocked me through a building.
"I'm not here to fight.. not yet anyway.. first.. first I want to break you.. kill everyone you love… your father made this personal, I was going to kill you when you were 2, but your dad Stopped me.. he's not around to stop me anymore."  He says.
In a blink of an eye he's holding one of my best friends, Eva in front of me.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but the girl I'm holding, she's been your best friend of what? 5? 7 years now?" He asks.
"No.. please! Stop! Don't do this! She has nothing to do with this!" I plead.
"Neither did my family! But that didn't stop him from dropping a God damn house on them!" He yells out. I push for speed towards him, running at superspeed.
But he's faster! A blade Stabs through her Stomach.
"Nooohoohoo!!!!!" I scream out! I catch her before she hits the ground. I look over, but he's gone!? Oh god.. oh god there's so.. so much blood.
"Miss, you'll be ok!" I say, unsure if I'm trying to convince her or me.
Oh god she feels so cold!
"Miss? Eva.. Eva please!" I say. Tears run down my cheeks…
"No.. please wake up! Eva!" I Yell out.
No…
I leave before the Police arrive. I Open the door, and see Mia and Mom.
"Nat…" Mom says. The Anger flows in.
"Raaaaugh!" I scream out. I go to slam my fists against the wall, the anger blocking any Kind of Thoughts other than Revenge. But they don't hit the wall, Mia's right in front of me. She Grabs my fists, moving them away from her shoulders and towards her Sides. She pulls me in closer, as my arms wrap around her. My head practically falls onto her shoulder as her arms hold me close.
"It.. it's.. not fair! Why.. why.." is all I get out.
"I know Firework.." she says..
Why! Why should Eva have to pay for a grudge some Psycho piece of shit had against my dad!
I hate him! I want to rip him apart! He had no right! I'll fucking kill him!!
