The earsplitting sound of an explosion forced everyone on the street to his or her knees. Screams erupted as the once tall building collapsed to the ground. A flurry of dust emerged and clogged everyone's throats.

I couldn't see much past the dust as people ran passed me. But I stayed planted to the ground. My eyes searched the sky for someone… anyone.

I was told that the Justice League was at hand during any massive destruction. But I'd never seen any of them in my life, though it had been the meaning of massive destruction.

"Ouch!" I shouted loudly as I felt the pressure of a stranger's knee smack my head. I stood quickly, realizing that maybe the ground wasn't as stable as I thought it was.

But I had to stay focused. I had a mission. And that mission was to find these so called Justice League members.

Rapidly, I could feel the ground around me shake. I looked to my left and to my right to find that most of the crowd had ran in either direction. The ones left kept their eyes to the sky in an almost mesmerizing fashion. I slowly followed their gaze.

I immediately understood why they were so fascinated. There was a beautiful, glowing pink light. But inside the light there seemed be specks of gold that slowly turned counter clock wise. And inside the gold specks, there was a beautiful woman with emerald green eyes and a radiant smile. But something was not right.

I felt the tips of my fingertips heat hastily and though my eyes were open, they also burned hot like a red fire. My body didn't heat up, though. The beautiful woman's radiant smile leisurely became an evil, hysterical frown. My mind broke away from the trance but my eyes stayed glued on the woman. My sight disappeared to a white sheet. A familiar feeling crept through my body and I knew exactly what was about to happen. I tried to force my powers down into the depths where they were supposed to stay, but it was too late. Something about the trance; something about the woman had set me off.

Suddenly, the air inside me was forced out and I felt my back slam into a brick substance. I gasped in pain as my sight returned. The force that had pushed me back was a man… in a mask. His hands stayed firmly on my shoulders. I could hear his rapid breathed as he searched me for answers with his eyes. I took his features. He was wearing an all black suit that covered his well-toned body with a navy bird on the front. His hair was short but growing.

"Why aren't you dead?" He growled angrily.

I don't know if it was the shock of the push this stranger had just given me or the shock of being pulled out of the trance and out of my powerful stupor: but I couldn't answer him.

"W-What?"

I blinked, unable to understand.

The masked stranger looked over his shoulder and I followed his lead. Out on the street where those once mesmerized citizens stood were piles of ashes. I gasped in horror as the stranger's eyes went back to me.

"No, no, no." I mumbled as I watched figures fly into the air and use powers to put out the fire. The Justice League was here. And one of its members was restraining me. Asking me why I wasn't a pile of ashes like the rest of the normal, mortal citizens.

"Who are you?"

His voice was softer and more astounded than anything. My gaze slowly turned to him. His face slowly became fuzzy.

"P-Phil…. H-He said…"

My speech became more difficult to surface.

"Phil? Phil who?" He asked.

"Y-You. Justice League…. Secrets…"

Everything in my head began to blur together. I knew what was going to happen. It was a common side affect to my issue.

"Secrets? What secrets? Hello? Stay with me."

"Cerebro" I mumbled.

The world and the masked stranger slowly disappeared.
