The world is filled with superhero's. Superhero's are no longer pretend or movie magic. Up until a couple years ago I didn't have a problem with them. My brother Nate was fifteen when he ran fast enough he just became a blur for the first time. 
It was the day after his birthday party when the pains started. Forty eight hours later he gained some muscle an could bring Gelato from Italy in a couple minutes.
I was only a year younger.

Yet I didn't get powers. Thought I did find skills of my own. From carpentry (Given Nate's many accidents) to fighting. 

When Nate became a hero I knew normal life was over. He got a mask and suit, started fighting, getting stronger. He became Swifty. (I got a laugh out of that). Only one night he wasn't swift enough to save me but I meet a new masked wonder who popped out of no where. Still deciding if he's a hero or villain I can't ignore the pull I have to him.  How am I, powerless, supposed to help save the city?

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16

~COMPLETED~ Grab a live wire with your bare hands and you get electrocuted. Drop a toaster in water that you're in and you get electrocuted. So. What happens when you get struck with lightning? Usually you die. But. I didn't. I lived. And got powers. This world was always cruel to me. So now. It's time to repay the world for all it's "kindness". *** "How could you keep this secret from me!?" "We knew you would freak out." "WHY WOULD YOU TWO HIDE THIS FROM ME!? I'M YOUR DAUGHTER!" "WHO IS A DISGRACE TO THIS FAMILY! THAT'S WHY WE RAISED YOU THIS WAY AND NOT LIKE YOUR SISTER!" Pressure builds up in my palms and I ball my hands into fist. My eyes widen. "I HAVE A SISTER?! YOU KEPT THAT HUGE SECRET FROM ME FOR 18 YEARS!? FUCK YOU TWO!"
