The 18 year old Tombsy Morse was walking the halls of her High school. She was in her senior year with headphones covering her ears. She was quite in public she wasn't shy she just didn't like people in general. She especially hated people her age. All of them.

She peeked her head through the bathroom door checking if it was clear before entering. There was no sign of human life and she quickly slid in setting her single notebook and pen on the sink counter. She looked into the messy mirror, she had bags under her eyes and dried tears. Hidden from the grey hoody she wore.

Her hair was roughly combed and scars covered her neck and cheek.

"Maybe, I deserved it. Maybe I didn't." She whispered to herself.

The sink began to rattle the more she thought to herself. The pipes of the neighboring sinks burst and sprayed water into the restroom. She grabbed her books and got out quickly. It was only 3 months since she last saw Clayton and it was killing herself, bit as much as she was killing herself with constant fear.

By the end if the day she was headed to her locker slowly and carefully. The hallways were quite empty and she thought she was safe.

She got home after her job and dropped down on her mattress. She lived with a friend who was never really home, she was always out with no explanation. She often came home dirty late at night with scars until last week when she didn't even call. Normally she would let Tombsey know she was okay bit she didn't answer since the last time she was home.

"Why won't she call, she can't be dead can she?" Tombsey said to herself as she attempted to contact her friend.

Tombsey knew where her friend went in the night. She never said anything but she was always scared for her and now she believes her theory was always right.

Jessica was a vigilante. Much like the guy that saved her that night she gave up. She had webs a red suit and could sore afro is the sky. Tombsey watched her jump out the window one night and sore out into the distance and she came home later bloody and battered.

Tombsey didn't want to get involved because every one knows if your involved with a hero there trouble is your trouble.

She wasn't looking for any more trouble.
