Well, after thinking about it for several days I came to the conclution that my story needed a major revise. The way that Jason was brought in the first version really didn't appeal to me that much. So, I have decided that I will take this from a different angle. I will keep working on the first version of it, but I think the revison is going to be better in the long and short run. I will get to naming the chapers later.

The Outsider: Violets Hope
Five years after Syndromes death...
Violet sat in her room looking out the window. It was around one in the morning, once again she coulden't sleep. The stars that night shined with an extra bit of brightness as she thought about the things that had happened to her. It had been two years to the day that Tony dumped her. She didn't view it as being rejected, more like the day she was set free. She looked at her arm, there was a small scar. It was unnoticable to anyone else, but to her it stood out like a sore thumb. She remembers very clearly how she came to have that scar.
Three weeks into the relationship that she thought was heaven at the time, Tony suddenly turned into someone she never imagined he could be. It was late at night and they had just gotten out of the movie theater. That was basicly the only thing they ever did togeather, every once in a while go and see a movie. This night was different though, Tony was acting a bit distant to Violet.
"Tony?"
"Yeah Vi?" he replyed in a semi-cold tone.
"Is everything ok? I mean your acting a bit strange." She asked in her usual shy voice.
"Violet, I think it's time I took you home"
"Tony, please talk to me."
Tony was silent for a moment, then he turned to Violet.
"Just mind your own buissness!" He yelled at her.
She was taken back by this, he had never yelled at her before.
"Tony...I just.."
"Shut up! Just Shut up! Your worthless! You'll never be a great Girlfreind!"
Violet was put on the defencive, "Why? Because I don't act like a slut? Is that your idea of a girlfreind?"
Tony was furious, "Mabye...Mabye not! That doesn't matter, It would be nice to get a bit further then first base!" With that he reached out to grab her in a manner not fitting a gentleman.
"Tony! Stop!" She slaped his hand away.
"See what I mean! You stupid tease!" He pushed her onto the ground. There was a shattered glass bottle where she fell and it cut her arm. She screamed in pain but Tony just walked off, leaving her there with a big cut in her arm.
After that night things changed between them for the worse. It was a rare occation that she didn't have a black eye from one of Tonys bursts of rage tword her. Her crying filled the silent air in her room as she thought back at everything that he had done to her. How many times had he been abusing her and she just wanted to turn invisable but she coulden't. She found comfort in the fact that she never let him get past first base. Nights like these had become a farly common occerence for her, she would sit in her chair by the window and just cry until she was almost asleep and then she would crawl into her bed still sobbing. This night was no different as she cryed herself to sleep once again.
Morning came quickly. She felt a brease come across her face, the rest of her was covered with her blanket. She was suddenly startled awake by her brothers voice.
"Come on Vi! Hurry up and get ready!" he said quickly before running out of the room again.
'Get ready?' She thought to herself as she tryed to wake up. Then she remembered they were going down to this place that housed homeless Supers. The government started a sort of adoption program for Supers. If a family could then they would take them for a month or so and give them a warm place to sleep and a warm meal.
They had already disscussed it and all of them would have an oppinnion in the decition of who to pick. Bob was oviously hesitent about it, Violet being 18 and although wareing lose sweaters and dark clothing was very attractive. She went out into the living room and the phone rang. Helen picked it up and talked on it for a while in the other room. A few minutes later she came out and announced that they didn't have to go anywhere. There was only one person left there and they were sending him their way that evening.
Violet sat there on the couch. 'him?' she thought.
Helen senced that everyone had some questions, so she spoke up.
"Now I want everyone on their best behavior when he comes. I am told that he is really nice and I don't want to give him a bad first impresion." She turned to Violet, "Vi, I want you to make up the guest room."
Violet sighed as she left the living room to make the up the guest room. She really didn't mind, it gave her something to do and kept her mind from wandering to far. She thought about who they were going to get stuck with this month, as the last one was a compleate bitch. Violet shuttered a bit remembering how it only lasted a week before she went back to the shelter and demamded another family. She quickly finished up and stood at the door of the room. Somewhere in the back of her mind she wondered if their new guest would like it. She looked at the time, it was nearing noon. She went to her room and grabbed her purse. She told her dad that she wanted to go for a walk to get some fresh air. Bob gave the ok and she left. Time passed slowly as she walked down to the local fast food place that was only a few blocks away. She orderd her usual, burger and a coke. Violet looked around and noticed someone that looked familier. She gasped as she realized it was Tony. She left quickly but could almost feel his eyes on her. She started walking home when she felt something go past her head she looked behind her and Tony was there with a rock in his hand.
"Hey Vi, did you miss me?" He said in cold sarcasm. She didn't say anything to him as she kept walking.
"Hey! I was talking to you!" He yelled as he hurled the stone. It flew past her head again and she took off running. Tony didn't fallow as his newest girlfreind came walking out. He turned and smiled as if nothing had happened.
As soon as she was out of sight of Tony she started to quietly sob. 'How could he be so cruel?' she thought to herself. She finaly returned home. She didn't tell anyone what had happened, she just sauntered off to her room. She spent the rest of the day helping around the house.
The rest of the day went fast for everyone. It seemed as if there was not enough time to get everything done. Evening soon came and it was quickly approching 7:30.
