Now, you might be wondering, "Nick, aren't you gonna explain how you got your powers?" Of course I'm gonna explain how I got them. But this is another thing they barely touch on in the comics: how much getting your powers artificially hurts. Well, allow me to start at the beginning.

BZZT! BZZT! I turn over, groggy from being woken from my sleep. I pick up my now vibrating phone, looking at the screen. Kai. Should've known. Who else would wake up someone at four thirty in the morning, other than your best friend? I press the answer button with a yawn. "Hello?"

 "Yo, you awake?"

I swear to God Kai, your stupidity knows no limits. "I am now, Kai. What do you want?", I yawned. 

"Well I kinda need you to open the door first."

Of course the maniac is outside. I get up and open the door, stretching. Kai walks in, wearing his usual smug smile. "Get dressed, we've got a date", he says, opening his arms like he wanted a hug. "Kai, you know I'm not good wi-" He puts up his hand to stop me. "Nicholas Johnathan Wilson, you're not giving me that crap. You do fine with girls. Besides, you've got me as a wingman, what could possibly go wrong?" "I hate when you say that", I roll my eyes and go to my room, earning a huge grin from Kai. I come out wearing a white jacket over a red shirt with black jeans and red shoes. Kai whistles. "Nick, if I was a girl, I'd-" I hold up my hand to shut him up. "Don't go there. Just shut up and get in the car." He busts out laughing and walks outside to the car. I get in next to him, pulling out of my driveway. He grabs the AUX. "Mine."

Kai, you are so lucky I've known you since grade school. I roll my eyes and smile as the music starts. "Let's go!", he whoops as we make our way to the restaurant.

  "What could possibly go wrong?" I've learned to hate those words.

Third Person

A mysterious figure watched the car from the shadows. She pursed her perfect lips. "A date? We can't have that now, can we?" Her sister was watching from the the rooftop. "No, we can't", she grinned. A second later, there was a huge explosion.
