Seraphina, Arlo, Remi, Blyke, Isen, and Elaine all left heading back to the Dorms. John heads up to his room, unlocks his closet door. He looks at costume set, mask, cape, outfit. Everything in place. Two minutes later the front door slams open.
Seraphina: Hey John! I forgot my bag!
John jumps and slams his closet door and scrambles for the key. He locks his door and heads downstairs.
John: Oh hey Sera.
Seraphina: Oh hey John your looking kinda nervous, whats up?
John: Oh nothing you know just didn't..... expect you to come... back so soon?
Seraphina: John, are you hiding something?
John: No no no what could I possibly hide? What nah me, little old ME hiding something from YOU? nonsense.
John looks back at his staircase leading up to his room nervously.
Seraphina looks at John and pushes him on the couch. She seconds after climbs on top of him and gets close to his face whispering in his ear.
Seraphina: John common you can't hide anything from me. Come on spill the beans what were yeah doing up there?
She looks at him with a flirty kinda look. John is looking around when his butt presses against the remote under the couch forcing the TV to turn on.
News anchors: Breaking news a violent group called The Cult is currently in a called gang war with the group called Ember. We are still unaware of Embers motives are for the attacks on the super heroes or why they're declaring war on other groups of criminals. Meanwhile an attack took place downtown involving a group called the cultist who worship something called Araña Allet. They attacked a group of Embers creating a crossfire attack, which involved the death of a superhero named Static X, The Cultist areveryagressiveandcanbevery....
The news fades out to Seraphina as she gets up. John about to go to his room gets his stuff together when he hears Seraphina ask him a question.
Seraphina: Hey John?
John replies: Yeah?
Seraphina: You ever wonder why do they let these people run around just to get killed?
John looking at her with a saddened expression
John: They're just trying to help people. Protect those who can't protect themselves.
Seraphina: Yeah well how can you protect others if you can't even protect yourself? Besides if you can't win in a fight, why should anyone listen to you?
John: Its not always about how strong someone is. Its about their argument and logic. This world is flawed because it fails to see that. I'm surprised we haven't wiped ourselves out yet. Besides, you listen to me, and I'm a cripple.
Seraphina: Well its not like you would know about how the world works, its not like you have any powers anyways.
John gets a flash back from New Bostin.
Your nothing but a cripple.
He then hears himself call
John looks at Seraphina with a glare that chills her to her core. As if to tell her to drop it.
Seraphina thinking to herself: What the hell is going through his head? Did I piss him off? Somethings not right.
John realizes he's spooking Seraphina and quickly changes the subject.
John continuing the conversation: Well I think this world could use more super heroes. Besides what can us low tiers and cripples do? Go to the authorities? They don't give a shit about us! I feel safer knowing there are some actual good people out their willing to risk their lives to protect the weak.
Seraphina: Yeah well, do you feel safer now that he's dead?
John looks at her with astonishment. Like if to say, "Bruh that just comes with the job".
Seraphina: Well John I was gonna head back to the dorms with Elaine and the rest of them but I decided to crash last minute.
John with the biggest "bruh" on his face takes her stuff to her room as if this wasn't the first time.
Seraphina: Oh and once your done with my stuff come back down and watch a movie with me!
John: Okay.
He heads back to his room for a moment to lock his closet but before he does he looks at the suit that lays inside.
TV: Now back to The Golden God Gossip show where we talk about and discuss the legend himself.
TV host: So anyone notice how he has disappeared for a couple of months now? What's up with that I mean you got all these fans wondering where your at?
The other guests of the show speculate theory's on the disappearance of a so called superhero "Golden God". A name given to him by the public due to his incredible power....
The ability to copy other peoples power.
Seraphina thinks to herself as she gets hooked to one of the many shows that focus on the god like being that is called the Golden God or Dark Knight. (Known to have Black and Gold powers).
Seraphina thinking to herself: Why is this guy the only superhero that the government allows to have talk shows with, then you get literally anyone else and they get shunned. Also on top of that this guys is practically worshiped. No criminal could even touch him. Plus if I can remember back months ago, wasn't this guy responsible for provoking groups like Ember to form out of defiance of his existence?
John looking at the costume starts to think to himself: Wow, its already been three months. I need to start getting back on the street. Three months at least since the public has seen me in action, then I almost go missing in some wasteland.
Seraphina: John! are you coming?
John: Oh yeah one sec.
John puts his suit back and locks it in the closet in his room. He heads downstairs and sits on the couch with Seraphina as they watch a movie together.
John fades into his thoughts as Strange Events is playing on Webflix.
One Year ago: At the funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Doe Johns parents.
John is crying at the grave while everyone else starts to head home. A man appears from behind John and comforts John.
Keon: Hey listen kid, I'm sorry this had to happen now, you know with your parents right after your correction classes. This kinda thing doesn't happen a lot you know.
John: I don't know what to do now, I'm all alone now with this new power, no friends, no family, just me.
John starts to break down again.
Keon: Hey kid listen, I can get you into an elite private school. One where you can make friends with the same power level. We can set something up. They can help you with this power.
John Looks up at Vaughn with confusion. Out of spite and anger he says...
John: Why are you helping me? I'm not your problem now!
Keon: Listen kid, this world sucks, people are always gonna prey on others for petty things like power. Life only gets harder as you grow up. You just had the worst of it, nothing to lose now.
John: Its not that I have nothing to lose, Its that now I have nothing to live for. My greatest desire costed me the last three months I could've had with them, my family. Maybe its time to move on from this world.
Keon: No, DON'T SAY THAT SHIT! John you didn't do anything, you fell victim, and if you keep acting like one, then your letting them win, your letting society win. Take back you life, hell take the LIVES of those who hurt you! Nothing should stop you now, not even the law.
It was as if time stood still. Remembering the book his dad wrote called UnOrdinary. Yes it all made sense now. This world picked on him for being weak and now that he has a fighting chance it tried to take what little he had. Now left with nothing but his will to fight. John Doe is born. He didn't care if Keon was an authority acting crazy right now, nothing could faze him now.
Keon: Well kid?
John looks back at the scruffy man, what was once his captor and instructor, his worst enemy, the man he wanted to kill so badly, now offering his allegiance?
Nothing made sense anymore.
John: Yeah sure.
Later that night all John did was stitch together a costume. Something bland. A black silhouette to compliment his golden eyes and power. Working out like he never has. Finally two weeks later it cuts to John on a roof top in downtown New Bostin. Looking down at the city he says to himself.
John: Lets see how they feel when the wounded wolf bites back!
John jumps down to encounter a gang called se-13. A group of people are holding up a bus and demanding money. Right when they are about to leave the snatch a little girl.
Gangster number 1: Consider this your payment.
Gangster number 2: Oh man, I know a place where people would pay a fortune for her.
Women: NOO! MY BABY!
The women and the man struggle back and forth, the woman who's ability is enhanced strength is only a 2.3 while the man is a 3.2 and has a defense form that turns his skin hard. The man eventually knocks the woman out. The man looks at her with malicious intent when suddenly he hears a member scream.
Gangster 1: What the hell was that?!
Gangster 2: Look that light over there it has Coritalla
Off in the distance you can see John with his costume on grabbing someone by the arm on the ground. Its the gangs leader.
Gangster 3: How the hell did Coritalla let that thing get him hes a 4.5 and can use fire.
Little did they know that there leader Coritalla has burn marks all over his body, the man can barely move without feeling pain.
Coritalla: Come on boys! Get him!
The three men on the bus and 2 others follow foot and charge at John. John sees on of them handcuff the little girl to his car handle with the door locked. This infuriates John, shes too young to have an ability. John brakes Cortiallas arm right off, skin and bone exposed before charging right at the five men. One shoots John with a laser only for it to get mimicked and shot right back at him for a head shot. One dead and one seriously hurt in the matter of three seconds. This intimidates the men. Right as they start to question themselves, John grabs another one and shoots projectiles right out of his hand, tearing through the man and still hitting the other two. As he is spraying memories from his first two years of High school pour through his head. Swarming him like demons in Hell.
Claire: John! you did it!
John: YES! I HAVE AN ABILITY! I'm not crippled at all!
Claire: John why would you do this?!
John: No! NO MORE MEMORIES!
He lifted one of the remaining three thugs up and slammed his back to his knee. Threw him aside like trash and focused his energy on the other two. The thug laid there lifelessly as John stared everyone down with intense energy.
John: Your all worthless trash! I'll make you wish you've never been born!
He grabs the other two and beats them till they couldn't talk.
John throws in some kicks for safe measures before heading to the car and breaking the cuffs off the little girl. More memories of him in middle school pour in feeding off his pain. He heads back to the bus with the child in his arms.
John: Here you go ma'am.
The woman who got knocked out wakes up shortly after and starts crying.
Woman: Oh My GOD! My baby! My baby!
She starts crying hysterically. Hugging her child like she was squeezing a panic Pete.
The others look at John in amazement and in hope. An God tier soul bent on protecting low tiers. An old man walks up to him and asks for his name. John says.
John: Surprise me.
John walks away looking at what he did. Four dead criminals and their leader close to it. John looks at the mess of corpses and smiles, in a twisted way he did a good thing he thinks to himself. People step outside their buildings and cheer for the new mysterious hero.
Seraphina: Hey John, JOHN!
John snaps out of his memories and looks at Seraphina. All cuddled up on the couch. She starts to get closer to John with her blanket all wrapped around them.
John: Hey whats up.
Seraphina: Are you okay? You seem off. Like your out of breath.
John: Yeah yeah I'm just a little out of it, you know school does that to you.
Seraphina: I'm cold.
John: You literally have a blanket around you.
Seraphina: Come here.
John and Seraphina start to curl up in a ball with the blanket.
Seraphina: You know despite my views on super heroes, I think the Golden God guy is kinda cool.
John: Golden God?
Seraphina: Yeah you know him right come on you don't live under a rock do you. He's so strong and off the grid that the government can't get his locations, contacts, anything, they can't even detain him. Every other superhero just assumes that if they are above a five and can make a costume that they are suddenly Jesus and go out to "save the world". No offense to other heroes but, they kinda make him look like a joke.
John: Yeah well, I bet that the Golden God respects other heroes. He had to be like them at some point.
Seraphina: Yeah well then why doesn't he have a team, let alone a side kick or partner or...
John: They would just slow him down.
Seraphina looks at John confused, like he just answered a question asked to him.
Seraphina: How would you know?
John: Never mind lets just go to bed I'm getting tired.
Seraphina: Okay well I'm gonna stay up for another hour here.
She hands him some noise canceling headphones.
John falls asleep.
