Chapter 1 - Intro

1990, Honolulu, Hawaii 16:23.

Outside a hospital room a woman can be heard screaming. "It's… a boy?" The doctor looks down at this male? Child its skin was lightly glowing and heating up. The doctor put the baby down carefully. The woman takes in many deep breaths. The father unclasps his hand from his wife's and looks at the baby sleeping. "Is he supposed to be asleep" He asked worriedly. The doctor nods "Yes, many babies… The doctor is cut off as he is evaporated by the energy wave that comes from the child. As is the hospital, the island, and everything else in a 30,000 square kilometers area is destroyed. Everything in 3 meters is atomized, and everything else in that 30,000 kilometer^2 area looked like enough nuclear bombs were dropped that it cratered the sea floor. 

2006, Unknown SHEILD facility, 3:00 am

I wake up to the unpleasant sound of the alarm, I'm flung from my bed ad it retracts into the wall and a robot samurai aims to slice me with his plama blade. I duck half asleep as I counter with a leaping jump kick. The force is enough to kick the head and damage the neck, but it's not enough to deable it. It goes for multiple cutting attacks all in splits of seconds. It tears cloth, skin, and muscle. I cross my arms in defense as I go for a disarm attack… it fails and the machine goes for a finishing move, but stops as the training activity is interrupted. "I'm disappointed" says Commander Garrett. "I thought you were better, but you barely tried. "Sorry sir" I gasp trying to breath. "come I have a mission for you" he said quickly before he turned and walked away. I followed excited. He brings me through the confusing hallways of my home to a blue and silver door. When we walk in I can see it's a meeting room, a big table, multiple chairs, and a screen make this medium room feel small. I sit where Commander Garrett pointed. He started by turning on the screen showing a gothic building in a high rise are, and saying, "Your mission is to steal a gem from a private collection. We believe that it has magic properties and that could be dangerous" I salute and say, "Yes sir!" He smirks and show me my suit mk.1, its just a black jumpsuit made of carbon fiber and cavalier. Its very simple but the implant in my are is monitored by the suit. "Remember, we control the amount of power you use, never tamper with it, got it?" Commander Garett ordered, "yes sir, the implant in my forearm is to protect the people, the peace, and myself!" I repeat what I have been told my whole life. He taps me on the shoulder after I put my suit on, he leaves the room, and without warning opens the airlock. Falling, nothing new to me. "Finally" I mutter under my breath. I use air control to fly down into the city. The subpar gps in my suit tells me that I'm in Gotham City. I look around for the target building. I see it and land in the room semi-gracefully. "You need more landing practice?" Asked my commander. That's a test, I'm on mission, I'm not supposed to talk, at all. The roof of this building is empty, except the many birds. It looks like any other building so I just open a roof vent and start crawling. It's dusty and dark, but other than that it's fine. I look around for the room I need. "E, the room number is 2000 top floor" That's my code name "E" I assume that it means elemental after my power set. I control many elements; fire, water, earth, air, and lighting. It is rumored that I can controls and produce more in the future. When I spiral into that thought tree, I hear a voice from below me. "Hey Crag, is this that archeologist's place? What's his name" Said one guard to a second guard name Crag. "Yea, can't remember his name, maybe Cavendish" Crag says with boredom. I keep crawling to the room and enter form a ceiling vent. The room is dark, the only light is from the moon light from the balcony. It's like any gothic building, old. The furniture looks like it was taken for a museum. I walk into an office looking for the private collection. "Well, well, well. What do we have here" says an unknown female voice. I get into a fighting stance. She is dressed like a cat, weird, but she is holding the gem. The gem is ruby colored, but is cut into a rectangle, other than that it's not too eye grabbing to me. "Well, are you going to answer me?" Says the cat dressed woman. I run at her and jump up to perform a high kick. Her eyes widen in surprise as she raised her arm to block. I then bounce off the limb and return to that starting fighting stance. "That was rude, and here I was trying to be friendly" She scold me with distain. "E! that is a convicted felon, Catwoman. You not ready! Raise your arm to punch and do what you do to blast air, okay?" Commander Garrett directs me with slight panic. I do as told raising my right arm so it is level with my shoulder. "Brace yourself!" Garrett orders. At the same time Catwoman lungs. The implant in my are vibrates and reads [CRITICAL!] and the deafening KA-BOOM! As all the air around me accelerate enough to destroy the wall that was in front of me. Catwoman's legs exploded into a paste he torso was shot out of the building. I was blasted back and lost consciousness for a few seconds "E!… E!… E!… GET THAT F*CKING GEM" screamed commander Garrett. I shake of the shaking and jump of the building, dive style. I dive after Catwoman and grab the gem, it pulsed gently in my hand, I fly off leaving Catwoman to her fate.
