It all started with a superhero, one who vowed to help save the world and use her powers for good....But how can one keep a promise if they don't remember making it?
What happens when the lines to right and wrong blur? When promises have to be broke...

"Anybody there?" I ask through the locked door.
Nikolai left me in here last night. He locked the door and now I'm stuck in here.
"No? Ok, I guess I'll just talk to myself then." I say, backing up to sit back on the bed and do absolutely nothing for yet another hour.
I hear a key jiggle before a click of a lock and the door is opened.
"What do you want?" A girl that I've never seen before says as she saunters into the room. Feeling intimidated, I stand back up from the bed.
"What's the point in keeping me here if you're just going to lock me in a room?" I ask, trying to plead my case for them to let me go.
"Would you rather Nik look through your memories? I heard it went great last time." She asks with venom on her tongue.
"No I wouldn't." I say, remembering the awful pain that came with it.
"FYI if the choice were mine you wouldn't be locked in this room right now." She pauses. "You'd be six feet underground."
It's a good job it's not up to you then.
"I'm not Aquamarine." I say as though it's obvious. It should be by now, I've said it ten million times.
"Sure. I believe you." She says in a tone that means she 100% does not believe me.
"Why do you all have a grudge against her anyway?"
She lets out a soft, breathy laugh. "She's with the government."
I wait for an explanation but I don't get one.
"So?" I ask, subtly pressing for more information.
"So everytime we try to make a play against the government she- or should I say you get in the way. We try and make a statement and you stop us. We try and recruit people to our cause and you deter them with your cutesy little superhero act that everyone just loooves so much." She says mockingly.
"The government are only doing what's best and I'm sure Aquamarine is too." I state.
"You lying bitch." She says, her voice raising as she starts to get aggressive. "Just admit what we all know is true."
"I'm not admitting anything because I'm not Aquamarine." I say sternly.
A moment later my face is hit to the side and my mouth opens in shock.
My face slowly turns back to it's original position, my eyes filled with shock. I've never been hit like that before, not even while working in a bar. Nobody has ever held so much resentment towards me.
Nikolai drags the blonde girl out of the room while I continue to stand there in shock.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I hear Nikolai's raised voice in the hall.
