== Backstory ==


''When did you first use your powers?''


You mean, how did I trigger? I was in the wrong place in the wrong time. I got caught up in a big fight, I never even saw who it was or what was happening. I was just some random bystander, extra number 7 who missed his cue to run away when the time came. Somebody, no idea who, dropped a building on me. It was terrible. I was trapped, under rubble and steel girders and the remains of... let's just stick with it was terrible. So I was terrified. And then, something happened. The pressure stopped. The girders just pushed away from me, moving the rubble with them. For a moment, it seemed like a miracle... but I couldn't control it. Not then. Not now. Apparently, I took out the power for a city block, and did some pretty serious damage besides that.


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


Her name was Jessica Wilson. I only found out about it after the fact, from the newspapers. She was in the rubble with me, when I triggered. I never even saw her. Just unleashed my powers for the first time, and boom, already creating victims. That might have been the most terrifying thing. I never even saw her.


''Who, outside the team, can help you control your powers?''


Nobody. I've been trying to avoid people who aren't involved in this whole cape craziness. I mean, I still see some of my old friends, just not as much. Okay, I see Sherri once a week, but she's been my best friend since forever. Heck, our families both moved out here together. ...And she does make me feel better. Calmer. Like I can stop thinking about what a danger to everyone around me I am for a little while. So yeah, I guess the answer is Sherri.



''Why do you continue to use your powers?''


Because if I don't find some way to control them, to help people with them, then the only reason they exist is to hurt people. And I have to believe I have a better purpose for all this power. 



''Why do you care about the team?''


It's nice, having people who can kind of understand and sympathize with what I'm going through, who have my back and share my goals. Mostly, though, it's nice to have people to work with so I can hold back. And most importantly, people who know me well enough to stop me if I stop holding back.
