Strobe
He was Zach
He WAS
Now because of a stupid gang fight and a chemical reaction he is Strobe.
He was the one who shot that canister from the helicopter.
He caused the Big Bang.
This is his story.
The pellet missed the fleeing gangs, and hit a nearby canister. The canister exploded with a giant purple cloud, everybody who was near the gas started to faint. As the smoke subsided and other officers came to bring the unconscious to a hospital. Zach fainted and fell out of the helicopter...
The next thing he remembered was being woken up by shrieks and the room he was now in started to be burnt by one of the people in the gang fights. He was... on fire? He threw a fireball at the wall and walked through the hole. Zach blacked out again.
He was in a whitewashed room with doctors standing around him and other people who had inhaled the purple smoke. He stayed in the hospital until he recovered.
The next week when he was able to go back to work, he came to the police station to find that he was fired because he had caused 'metahumans' to be created.
He turned in all his police gear and went on his way home sadly.
As he went onto a bus he started to glow, and then he had no physical mass.
He was pure light.
He was a mutant.
He was going to make up for his mistakes and fight the metahumans, who he had created.
He was going to become a superhero.
He was no longer Zach.
He was Strobe.
Author's Note: The fire guy he saw was Hotstreak, and Zach was the dude in the helicopter who shot the pellet that made the Big Bang. Review if you have any comments.
