Taylor

Today was a pretty normal day. I woke up, brushed my teeth, did my hair... well as much as I felt like. Everything was as normal as it can be for a Thursday. That was until I heard that sound.

*beep beep beep*

Endbringer attack

*Beeb Beep*

Not Brockton bay

*beep beep beep*

Simurgh

If that sound went off, a normal person would feel fear and panic. When it went off, I felt something different, something more... primal, I felt happy? This feeling is excitement. I closed my eyes and dig deep within myself and I felt it coming from every fiber within my being. I wanted a challenge, and this is how I'll get it.

Knowing that an Endbringer attack is so close to America, they'll probably close the school down for a few days. Knowing that I'm going to an Endbringer attack I need to tell my dad. I took a deep breath then went downstairs to tell my dad something that I've been procrastinating for a long time.

"Dad we need to talk"

He looked at me a bit scared because of the end bringer attack. Using my cold read to find a better way to talk to him I found out that he already knows that I'm a Parahuman and there was no good way of saying this. Seeing this I decided to just 'pull the Band-Aid off'

"Dad I'm a parahuman... or something like that"

He looked at me and froze as if knowing what I'm about to say.

"Dad I'm-" He cuts me off

"No! I won't let you" He shot towards me, hugging me.

"I won't let you go there. Not to fight against that... thing" He said holding me tighter

I hugged him back and said "Dad I have to go. I know it's hard but I have to."

"No, you don't! Let them do it!" he said

Feeling tears fill my eyes I held him a bit harder "I'll be on. I'm a brute. I'll explain everything when I come back"

"Little owl-" I cut him off using my 'Master' abilities before he can change my mind, putting him to sleep.

Seeing him sleep I picked him up then took him to bed. Taking one last glimpse at him I walk out of the house and made my way towards the PRT.

Taking one of my very few days off. I decided to watch Tv and calm myself. It was relaxing until I heard the accursed sound.

*beep beep beep*

Endbringer attack

*Beeb Beep*

Not Brockton bay

*beep beep beep*

Simurgh

When that alarm went off, I heard my daughter, Taylor come down the stairs. The look she was giving me reminded me of when she was younger and got in trouble.

When I saw it my heart dropped. I knew she was a parahuman for about a week now. Putting the fact that she chose now to tell me she was a parahuman, the worst possibility came to my mind.

"Dad we need to talk" she said at first with a nervous tone in her voice. That got me scared to the point that I couldn't talk.

'Oh god, please no. Don't let it be.' I thought.

"Dad I'm a parahuman... or something like that" she said. Except with confidence this time.

Then it hit me like a freight train. The locker, the hospital. What could have happened that's so bad that she 'triggered'.

"Dad, I'm-" I cut her off, knowing what she was about to say.

"No! I won't let you"

I practically lunged at her in order to hold her tightly. To both hold her here so she won't leave and to remind me that she is here. Not gone, not dead like my beautiful wife Annette.

"I won't let you go there. Not to fight against that... thing" I said as I was about to tear up.

"Dad I have to go. I know it's hard but I have to." she said as her voice began to waver

"No, you don't! Let them do it!" I said holding her tighter.

"I'll be on. I'm a brute. I'll explain everything when I come back" she chirped as I felt her tears on my shirt.

"Little owl-" I began before eyelids got heavy and shut. Pulling me into the sweet embrace of sleep.

Taylor

On my way to the PRT, I ducked into an alley before I switched into my Pandora second Form. It took less than a second for the transformation to be completed. Sadly, my clothes ripped due to my new form bit I wasn't worried. My scales were enough.

I was about to take off before I realized that I haven't made my day view yet so the PRT won't know who I am. So, I took a quick pit stop and found a random stranger to ask for her phone. She was terrified. I mean I would be too. She slowly reached into her pocket and gave it to me and I dialed the PRT.

"PRT hotline Amanda speaking, how bay I assist you?" Said the voice on the line

"This is Pandora a new parahuman. I'm calling to warn you that I'm on my way."

"I'm assuming you know what the Endbringer truce is?" she said after that

"Yes ma'am, I'm just here to help. I'll be flying in from the west side. I'll be the one with the dragon wings. You can't miss me." I told her

"Ok. The meeting point will be on the helipad on the north side of the building. I'll be informing Armsmaster of your arrival." After saying that I hung up and gave the lady her phone back.

Flying to the east many people saw me and began to talk about me. I could sense it through my Domain. At first, it was a bit overwhelming but I got used to it and it faded to the back of my mind. As I flew closer to the clouds, I saw that the bay was very beautiful, and I renewed my reason for being a hero once again. For the bay.

Looking ahead I see the PRT HQ. Noticing I wasn't over any buildings I sped up and hit the sonic boom immediately.

Armsmaster

As I was organizing, I took a moment to look around. Villains and Hero's working together. I smirked 'Only when we have a common enemy, they do something productive if anything they do it for survival.' I thought. Suddenly my Hud lit up notifying me that someone from the PRT hotline was calling me.

"Armsmaster speaking" I said

"This is Amanda from the PRT hotline. Just giving you a heads up that a new parahuman named Pandora is on her way. She should be coming in from the west side. I've already confirmed that she does know the Endbringer truce" she said

"Thanks Amanda, any form of identification we can use to identify her?"

"She said she had, and I quote 'Dragon wings'" she said

As she finished her sentence the perimeter alarm went off. Looking at the Hud I saw a 6-foot woman flying at the speed of sound heading towards them. Seeing her wings and tail I knew it was Pandora. Taking the chance, I quickly searched the database to see if there are any parahuman that matches her description and I found none. This meant that either she recently triggered or she is good at hiding.

Landing I took a look around. I saw heroes like Glory Girl and Panacea, as well as villains like lung and Oni lee. When I glanced at Lung, I felt a primal instinct to attack him but I held back. I refocused myself and made my way over to Armsmaster.

"Pandora, here to help. Brute, blaster, changer, mover."

Saying that he was a bit stunned, I can smell it. He gathered himself then put an armband on me.

"Stay with the other Brutes and help in the frontline" he said, "This armband will keep track of who is where and tell you where you need to go. Don't lose it. If you do, we not be able to find you if anything happens." he continued.

I nodded at him then walked to where he pointed. Right next to Lung. He looked at me as if he was about to pounce at any moment. I stared back. It must have been a few seconds long when we were finally called and were ready to go. I thought was prepared to see what I saw, and in some ways, I was. But in others... I wasn't ready.
