The Mask Hiding The Real Jay

The Drive-by

After getting shot down, literally, I saw a flash of green and I heard a voice say something along the lines of "Jay, you need to wake up, your true abilities can save her!" I jolted up, and launched two powerful blasts, blowing the cars up. After that happened, I looked at my hands in astonishment. "What the hell did I become...?"

I turned around and saw Yadira bleeding a lot. She was unconscious, but not dead yet. I immediately tore my shirt down the middle and wrapped it around where she was shot, and tried to contact anyone. Nobody was nearby. I tied it on her tightly to slow down the bleeding while I looked for people that can help. Nobody. I then noticed something; I can see souls flying around. I looked for hers, and once I found it, I put it back in her body. She immediately caught fire, but didn't burn away. "What...?" I shook myself of the the thought, as it didn't seem to make sense. I picked her up and took her to my house. When I woke her up, she sparked a little bit. She woke up in shock, thinking she was dead. I helped her understand. "You're not dead, Yadira. You just got shot but I revived you. Someone put out a hit on us and it went through. I think we somehow gained powers from it though, because I realized that I launched two blasts from my hands. Maybe you can do the same." She looked at me confused. I had to try to make it clear. I thought of every way I can use my power. No luck. But I did somehow make a green sphere in my hand. Okay, this is getting really weird... I thought to myself. This was really odd. I ignored it and nursed her back to health, making sure she was the same way. Thank God nothing has changed...

...besides her DNA.
