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...

After letting Emma go, I proceeded to let multiple others go free too.
I only let the people that I knew in my gut were innocent.
I sent them all back to Nikolai as I didn't know where else was best or safest to send them. They may not be able to return to their regular lives but it has got to beat being locked up in a max security prison cell.
I should get out of here now before anyone comes back and catches me in the act.
I close the cell doors over and quickly exit the corridor and make a beeline for the main office.
I press the button for the lift and as the doors open I see Allison stood there with her phone in hand. My breath gets caught in my throat.
Oh no. Oh no no no.
There's no way she could possibly know...but what if there is a chance?
I give her a polite smile and she returns it. I wait for her to get out of the lift but she doesn't.
My gut tells me she knows and the smile on her face doesn't look so innocent anymore.
"Are you going back up?" I ask.
"No." She replies. "And you're not going anywhere either."
She knows. She fucking knows.
My mind scrambles for an excuse but I didn't get this far with excuses. What can excuse me letting out multiple prisoners other than the truth?
Maybe she isn't even bad, maybe she didn't know like I didn't.
...that can't be right, she knew about my memories being wiped, she must know about the other things.
My hand starts to rise to use my powers. I plan to move her out of the way by using my powers before quickly getting in the lift and going up in it to escape. After that it's a free stretch of land.
My on the spot plan is flawless but I don't even get to do the first step before the lights go out.

I return to consciousness with a bright light in my face and a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
When I suddenly feel a burning sensation on my stomach my eyes fly open and I instinctively try to move away.
"Oh, you're awake." The strangers voice fills my ears.
Unable to move, I look down so see my body strapped to the flat table.
Oh fuck.
I try to use my powers to break free but confusion overtakes me when they don't work.
The man taps his finger on the IV bag. "Had to be sure you couldn't use your powers now, hadn't we?"
My eyes look at the IV bag that's connected to me in horror. Realisation hits me.
