Why is the house in a mess? Why does it seem like a trnado hurtled through here. And there's water all over the place. Did it rain indoors? My mind was a mess so I dumped my bag on a chair and decided to pick things up and put them where they belonged. Afterwards it seemed like I had to mop up the floor so I made my way up the stairs.

The house seemed eerie and quiet but then it was always quiet because my parents worked late and there was noone else home but me.

"Strange why is there a brown sticky substance on each of the steps" I asked myself out loud. Following them i walked into my parents bedroom.

It seemed like they were at home because there odd noises coming from their room. I figured that that they came home early due to the incident though I didn't think they reach home before me.

"Mum,Dad I'm home" I called and I slowly swung the door and my grey tabby cat ran out.

"Hey Tabitha, what's wrong" I called out to her as i bent to pick her up but she hissed and scratched at me before running off. Thats weird i thought to myself because she is usually so lazy and calm.

As I entered my parents bedroom the pink curtains were untied and moving with the breeze with the rain falling down. Chairs were strewn across the floor. My feet seemed to be covered in a puddle and I stopped moving...

Hardrock,Hardrock... I whispered his name over and over again. But he didn't come. The police found me the next day huddled up at the door. I never saw my parents again.

That was my story. My parents had been murdered and being a superhero the crime had gone unnoticed. The police couldn't do anything about it and it was labelled off as a random burglary gone wrong. There wasn't anything missing from my house. There wasn't anything to take in the first place. The police were clueless and they didn't believe anything I said anyways. I was too emotional and unstable they said. It was not my fault they assured me but they didn't know what I did.

I had seen the culprit that night.
"Speak a word of this to anyone and your real parents may end up dead just like these ones" he said with his dark green eyes glinting against his dark green mask. He seemed to blend into the background with the only feature that stood out being the dark red symbol of an arrow in the middle of his spandex suit. He wasn't a known upervillain and he wasn't someone i'd ever seen before. But the way he looked at me was as if he had known me my whole life. He chuckled evilly as if though there were many things that he knew that I didn't know of myself.

"Let's meet again my sweet" he said grinning and with a mock salute he disappeared into the night.
