So that was it, or at least it should have been. After the crazy whirlwind of balancing a normal, average life with that of a secret identity as a meta-human vigilante crime fighter that should have been the end of it, right? Wrong. Very, very wrong. Not only did I lose the trust of Mr. Hawkins shortly after Team Static's cover was blown by an anonymous tip, but the adoption paperwork was stopped, indefinitely. Needless to say Team Static disbanded, and since no one was going to believe two upstanding high school kids could ever take the rap for all the damages, who was left to blame but the foster kid? So long story short, that's how I lost my entire family in less than two weeks.

But even after all of this, I still couldn't blame Virgil. Even though he had plenty of motivation after I chose Richie over him, I think he got enough satisfaction when my ex brought his boyfriend to court when he was testifying against me. That's how Richie managed to discredit confessing his love to me two years ago. He really is a smart son of a bitch. Smart enough to fast track his application to college once he heard I wasn't doing any jail time, because if he hadn't, I'd have gone on trial for in for third-degree murder. And pleed guilty all the way. Would have been easy enough too, since my elemental abilities have definitely become more powerful, possibly because I've added a new component to my arsenal: rage.

At first I wondered how that was possible, since bang-babies abilities tend to remain stagnant, so I took some time to research. What I found was even more farfetched than tear-gass giving you superpowers, it was magic. Not the pull a rabbit out of a hat type, but actual Shaman witch voodoo type shit. I remember being born in the slums of Kenya, but in all likelihood that was the best time to put some sort of curse on me since I was still a baby when I left. And if all I've read about these curses turns out to be true, then I'm merely scratching the surface of what I'm capable of. But either way, I'm sure i won't get very far working alone, but still, I don't think I have that much time.
