Okay this is just going to explain everyone's origin before they meet so bear with me.

Virgil Hawkins was a smart African American Student, he did his homework, his chores (Sometimes) and he always hung out with his best friend Richie Foley.

But he was always picked on because of his grades and the fact that he hangs with a girl named Freda Goren who he has a big crush on, but the other person who had a crush on her was Francis Stone a gang leader who is also known as F-Stop.

F-Stop threw Virgil into the school lockers at North Dakota High School after Frieda left to go to class, "You really think you have a chance with her Virg?" He asked smirking while Virgil got up shaking his head before Francis kicked him again, "I mean come on what are you thinking? She wouldn't look twice at a loser like you when there's a guy like me."

Virgil chuckled, "Yeah a guy who needs a shower phew!" Francis picked Virgil up for that.

"Oh I'm going to enjoy this." He said as he brought back a fist but another teen grabbed it, he was another African American male wearing a green headband.

"I know you're not messing with my boy Virgil." He said with his eyes narrowed

Francis glared at the teen but he sighed, "Another time Virg!" With that he took off running as Virgil got up.

"You okay Virgil?" Asked the teen in concern.

"Y-yeah thank you Wade." Virgil said nervously knowing that Wade was another Gang leader and he didn't want to have anything to do with gangs.

"If you need anything just call." With that Wade left Virgil alone as he walked off.

"God what did I do to deserve this?" Virgil asked looking up.

"You joked Francis; I think that's what caused it." Despite himself Virgil smirked and turned to see his best friend Richie Foley in his trademark green shirt with orange stripes on it, "Then again maybe he's just jealous of your looks."

"Thanks Richie!" Virgil said chuckling, "I needed that."

"Yeah but Virg you do realize that Wade is trying to recruit you right?" Asked Richie and he looked very concerned.

"Yes I know and I have no intention on joining a gang because I don't want to get involved in a gang war." Virgil said sharply remembering on what happened to his mom three years ago.

"Well you'll make the right choice Virg you always have." Richie said with a smirk, "Now aren't you going to ask Frieda to go to homecoming?"

Virgil looked down nervously, "I-I don't know Rich I can't think of any way to do this."

"Just go up and ask her!" Virgil swallowed nervously and was walking towards where his first class was where Frieda was at.

"H-h-hey Frieda." Virgil said nervously.

"Oh hey Virgil how are you doing?" She asked happily.

"G-g-good I was hoping that maybe we could… we could…" Man he hated his nerves.

"We could what?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

Virgil was starting to sweat, "Go to homecoming together as friends, you know?" He didn't know why he said as friends but he figured that if she turned him down they could remain friends.

She smiled to his surprise, "Sure why not?" She said

"R-Really?" Virgil asked blinking in surprise.

"Pick me up at seven-thirty tomorrow." She said with a wink before walking off leaving Virgil there with his mouth hanging open in shock.

Richie slapped his back, "Way to go V-Man!" He said congratulating Virgil before looking at him, "Are you catching flies or what?" That got Virgil to close his mouth.

"She actually said yes… I'm the luckiest guy in the world!" Virgil jumped into the air in joy while Richie was laughing at his public display of him embarrassing himself.

On his way home Richie sighed, "You do realize that you already made an enemy of Francis right?"

"Thanks for reminding me Rich." Virgil said with his eye twitching.

Richie chuckled, "Hey if anything happens you know that I got your back." They bumped fists before Richie took off towards his home.

"Yeah if you knew Kung-Fu." Virgil muttered before heading towards his home but as he got close to the street he saw Francis waiting for him and he started to walk towards him so Virgil went to run the other way only to see another gang member walking towards him so he ran down the alley without thinking only to see two more gang members waiting.

So he was surrounded on all sides as the Gang Members came close to him he backed away from them, "Look I don't want any trouble." Virgil said nervously when two of them grabbed his arms.

"Too late Virg, I warned you to stay away from Frieda but you didn't listen so now I'm doing this as a reminder." He punched Virgil in the chest before punching him in the face giving him a black eye, "What's the matter Virg? No witty comebacks?" He punched his face causing Virgil to cough up blood before punching him in the gut again.

He was picking up his head to punch him in the nose when the fourth gang member they had as a lookout came running, "F-Stop Wade is on his way." Francis looked at Virgil and ended it by punching him in the gut.

"You and I are going to see each other a lot more often Virg." With that he ran off.

Virgil groaned as he spat out some blood before picking himself up but he looked up to see Wade looking at him, "Oh uh hey there Wade, I had them right where I wanted them!"

Wade didn't look convinced, "Meet me under the bridge in a half."

"Half hour?" Asked Virgil in surprise, "But I have to meet my Pops in a half hour-."

"In a half." Wade said again leaving Virgil by himself.

"Well this is bad." Muttered Virgil and a half hour later he was approaching the bridge, "Well son where were you today?" He was imitating his dad.

"Well Pops I was heading home but the local bangers invited me for Tea and cookies." He said in his normal voice.

"Son haven't I told you that Gang bangers are dangerous?"

"Well Pops let me say DUH!"

Then he got pulled into a small cottage underneath the bridge, "Hello Virgil." There were a few more guys with Virgil there, "Welcome to our main house."

Virgil looked around, "Cozy but why am I here?"

Wade smiled, "I like you, you're funny but looking out for you is taking too much of my time."

Virgil swallowed nervously, "No one asked you to." He said trying to get out of trouble.

"Ooooh he dissed Wade." One of the gang members said.

Virgil went pale, "No! NONONONONO I DID NOT DIS HIM!" Virgil was trying not to get killed now.

"We're taking care of your trouble tonight at the docks so show up." With that Virgil was pushed out of the cottage and now he was running home.

"Oh man what do I do?!" He asked himself in fear before he remembered as he walked in that he had a black eye so he snuck upstairs while his family was in the kitchen saying that he was dropping his stuff in his room.

His Pops also known as Robert Hawkins told him to wash up so as Virgil did that he decided to do the award winning performance he 'tripped' and banged his arm on the bathroom sink before crying out in pain.

In a second Robert knocked on the door, "Virgil are you alright?" He asked in concern.

"Yeah pops I just gave myself a black eye."

"How?"

"I hit the sink after I tripped." With that he walked out holding his eye so now he was eating dinner without them asking questions.

Crisis averted… Now only if all my problems were solved this easily. He thought before he heard his dad ask a question.

"So did anything exciting happen in school today?"

Virgil smiled, "I asked Frieda to homecoming and she said yes."

Then his sister Sharon Hawkins gagged, "What'd she do to you?" She asked making fun of him.

"I'm pretty sure that dogs aren't allowed at the table." They glared at each other before Robert interrupted them.

"Alright you two that's enough we don't need any more arguing at the dinner table okay?" Asked Robert so the kids just turned away from each other without another word before he sighed, "Tonight's going to be one of those nights."

After dinner Virgil offered to clean the dishes so that way he could think about what was going on.

Afterwards he came to a conclusion that he needed to talk with Wade and that was going to be before the gang war starts.

So around midnight when he knew that his Pops and sister was asleep so he ran over to where the Gang war was going to take place at hoping that he could get there and get out before something happens but as he got there he heard gunfire and he crouched behind a dumpster where he saw the gang members trying to kill each other before he saw Francis and he saw him.

"Virgil?" Virgil backed up as Francis smirked, "Oh this is going to be fun." He walked towards Virgil but as he did there was the sound of a Helicopter and a light shone down on the Gang Members with the police ordering them to get down on the ground but when they ran they shot out a smoke grenade but it hit a fuel tank.

"Why did I come here?!" Virgil shouted as it blew up but instead of a deafening explosion a purple gas leaked out causing everyone to cough in pain before most of them fell over.

Virgil breathed in some of the gas as he held onto a metal fence before he took off running but he passed out as he ran.

Opening his eyes in pain he saw that he was in his room, "I'm alive?" He asked in shock before he rolled out of bed to go to the bathroom but his bed sheet leaped at him, "The hell?!" He threw the bed sheet off but it came back onto him so he ran out his room and threw it back in there before he slammed the door shut.

"No slamming the doors." Robert said as he walked by Virgil drinking a cup of coffee.

"Yes Pops." Virgil walked into the bathroom but the lights came on without him flipping the switch, shaking that off as nothing he reached for the electric razor but as he went to pick it up it turned on and it wasn't plugged in, "Oh shit the Razor's possessed!" He cried out before electricity started to come off of him.

With that he ran to school after getting dressed before he saw Richie and grabbed his shoulder accidently electrocuting him, "AH! Geez Virgil you need to get rid of that static cling before you touch someone."

"Sorry Richie but you won't believe what happened!" Virgil said.

"You mean the Big Bang?" He held up a newspaper showing the explosions from the last night, "Plus the survivors are now Metahumans that are being called Bang Babies."

"You don't say." Virgil smiled, "So what should I do about Frieda tonight?"

Richie laughed, "Come on V-Man you can handle one night with her."

"I suppose so but Richie I have something you need to know-." He was cut off by Richie's horrified glance at something behind him so he turned to see a tsunami of water heading for the school, "Okay I'll show you!" he used his powers to hit a trashcan lid and carried Richie off the ground over the tsunami as it washed through North Dakota.

"HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!" Shouted Richie, "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!"

"Uh I'm a Bang Baby as you put it and as for the second one I don't know but I need to find any survivors of this- this… OH NO FRIEDA!" With that Virgil flew down on his trashcan lid after getting Richie to a rooftop but as he got to the ground after the water was down he looked around to see bodies, "Oh my God." He said horrified at what he was seeing.

He got off the trashcan lid and ran around, "FRIEDA!" He shouted looking for her but when he found her all he saw was her lifeless body, "Oh man." He said horrified.

He ran off from there running towards home, "What the hell happened?" But as he got in there he saw the bodies of his dad and his sister, "Pops! Sharon!"

Tears were falling down his face as he cried there not knowing why this happened.

He knew that he couldn't stay because people who survived saw him on the trashcan lid so he ran up and packed whatever clothes that he had before running out the door.

He knew that he had to go somewhere so for now he decided on New York hoping to find a place in that city.
