A golden man screamed across the sky and laid waste to the Earth. He appeared out of nowhere, striking down cities with golden blazes of light. Then, he disappeared. Where he went nobody knows. In the aftermath, the Powered emerged. Humans granted superhuman abilities that transcend all logic and physics. The world is in tatters, communities spread across the globe with limited contact, ruled by battles between humans and villains. All the while monstrous creatures known as the Wretches stalk the barren, scarred wasteland. With incredible powers of my own saving the world is a journey of putting one foot in front of the other.

Interlude of a Defeated Hero Part 2

As the complaints died down, Councillor Smythe turned his attention to the next problem child on his list.

"Now, Pester, I'm quite interested to hear about your impact on today's events on the battlefield," He said, resting his chin atop his steepled fingers.

"I'm… not sure I understand?" Pester replied, unable to hide her cringe.

"Oh, my apologies Pester," Smythe said with a smile, "You mean to tell me you didn't open fire on the Vault complex while it was shrouded in darkness, unable to tell if there were hostages inside or not?"

Pester stiffened up almost immediately.

"Ah, I see you do know what I mean then," The man continued.

"I… The hostages had already made their way out… I thought it would be better to use my power to do what I could to stop them from robbing the place," Pester stammered, uncertain.
