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...

Rescuing the cat and family the other day got me blown all over the news. The outlets have been begging for an interview with me now more than ever.
"Where do I sit?" I ask the interviewer.
"Wherever you'd like." She tells me.
I take a seat on the sofa and they give me a run down on how the interview is going to work before the camera starts rolling.
"And we're live in 3...2...1" The camera person says.
"Hello everyone." The host says, greeting everyone at home. "Today, we are joined with our very own superhero. Live and in person, the one and only Aquamarine." I smile in response as she directs her attention toward me.
"Hi everyone." I say cheerfully even though I'm overwhelmed with nerves right now.
This interview is very important for the future.
"There are a lot of questions that I, and I'm sure many other people, have."
"Fire away." I tell her.
I was expecting this. The people have questions and I'm the only one they can get honest answers from.
"There's a rumour going around that you're not from earth. Is that true?"
"Yes, that is true." I confirm. "And I know that might scare a lot of you, but I consider myself human. Apart from my powers, growing up on a different planet is the only difference I share with everyone born on earth, and I spent my teenage years growing up here." I state. I'd briefly gone over this in a previous interview but this is more in-depth. We have all the time in the world. "There are actually many aliens living a normal life here on earth. Some of them have powers, some of them don't. Much like people on earth, everyone is different. But we're also the same."
"Are some aliens bad?" She asks.
"Yes." I answer honestly. "There is always a handful of bad people along with the good but you can't make up your mind about a group of people based on a handful. Like I said, everybody is different. I'm not going to tell you there's no bad aliens because there very well could be, but I can promise that I'm not one of the bad ones. All I've ever wanted was to protect this planet."
"How do you think you've done so far?"
"I honestly don't know. Just like most, I'm trying my best. I can't do everything but anything that I can help with, I do."
"Did you hear the news about the Prime minister?" She asks. I knew this question would inevitably come up.
"Yes, I did."
She waits for a further response. "Do you have anything else to add?"
"No I don't. He was a terrible person and him dying doesn't change that. I don't wish to speak ill of the dead, nor do I wish to praise him for things he didn't do."
