"As a result a child was badly hurt!"

"I'll be fine!" Thad called out annoyed at the comment.

He hated every part of the story that was run. About him being a kid used as a human shield, distraction a speedster shield..

People who had no idea what people his age, did in costume to help.  Constant coverage about it, people making assumptions that he was a child dragged into this..

The latest incident didn't help, Thad catching a projectile nearly being blown away when it went off, shattering one of his goggles lenses.. It didn't help that was the exact motion caught on camera.. One eye shut, scratches from the glass all around it and his cheek. Nose bleeding, a split lip and needing help getting up.

"I am not going to be the poster boy or example! I'm not going to be painted as the spoiled stupid kid who caused the end of teen, young heroes..  They don't have a right to try and stop us.. They shouldn't underestimate us, judge us.. There needs to be transparency, I need to get it. through their thick skulls by any means necessary...."

Thad was ready to make a broadcast of his own when you caught him..
