Backstory

When did you first use your powers?

• In middle school, one of her soccer teammates fell and broke her ankle after a bad collision. Kelly suddenly started feeling like her own ankle was hurting, and had no idea why, then managed to reach out and feel Laurie's broken ankle. So she tried to put it back together.

Who was the first person you accidentally hurt with your powers?

• Laurie, in that first incident. First aid for traumatic injuries hurts when it's being done by a professional. Even worse when done by someone who doesn't actually know what they're doing. She put everything in the right spot, but... painfully.

She first outright hurt someone through her powers going out of control at her first Homecoming Dance in high school. She lost control when some of the senior girls played a prank on her, and sent snacks and decorations flying. There weren't many injuries, fortunately, but the incident did bring her to the attention of...

Who, outside the team, helps you control your powers?

• Dr. Weaver, a parapsychologist who's helped Kelly unlock and control her powers. Her own agenda isn't completely clear, though, as she's not on board with Kelly's superhero activities and she seems to have a lot of connections to government agencies.

Why do you continue to use your powers?

• Kelly's motivation is pretty straightforward. She wants to help people, to heal people, to stop bad people. That's why she took up a costume.

Why do you care about the team?

• They're who she found, and she's a caring person who has a tendency to try and gather people up.

When Our Team First Came Together

We destroyed our surroundings in the fight. Where was it? What did we destroy?

• We destroyed the mall! Not the whole mall, it was only closed for about a week, but so many of the glass storefronts, merchandise everywhere. I feel really bad about all the shredded books at the Walden's... Oh and the central bank of escalators looked like an MC Escher painting.

I once hurt Chains when I lost control of my powers.
