Enduring Soul
I used to think my power could protect me from anything.
After all, I can manipulate all sorts of things, kinetic energy, heat energy, I can even redirect energy I touch or absorb it.
I believe my power is Dynakinesis, at least touch base. Of course when I found out I was ecstatic.
Sure, I may not be Alexandria Junior, but there is so many things one can do with Dynakinesis!
But my mood turned somber when I remembered the only other Dynakinetic on record.
Behemoth, the hero killer.
If people learn the full extent of my power, I would eventually be compared to that monster.
People compared to Enbringers never end well. Either the Fallen, those crazy Endbringer cultist, would try and recruit you or the public would turn against you quickly.
Like what happened to Canary.
So I told no one and just kept it to myself. Something I'm used to.
I used to think my power could protect me from anything.
I was dead wrong.
I may be protected from physical threats, like when Sophia pushes me into things, I'd just absorb the kinetic energy on the impacts and no one knew it.
But I can't cut out the sound.
I heard every sharp insult thrown my way, even when they contradict each other. Generally just to hammer me down until my ex best friend would deliver the coup de grace.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words would never hurt me.
Who ever said that never had their mothers death thrown in their face. Who ever said that never had to deal with being laughed at or mocked for grieving a dead loved one.
Who ever said that never had to deal with a twisted mockery of a girl, who you loved as a sister, making it her life's goal to make yours a living hell. Day in, and day out.
Sure, I could push past them easily. But I'd get in trouble for it.
Sure, I could make them pay, I have the power and no one would be able to stop me.
But then I wouldn't be able to look into my father's eyes ever again. But then I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror, as I would be a monster and not Taylor anymore.
I have been tempted to go down that path anyway, to go Carrie on this school filled with apathetic staff and cruel children.
But I stopped myself every time. Even though it would be so easy.
All it would take is a single touch and my problems would vanish forever.
But I always remind myself that I will become a better person than them. That I'd never let them push me to becoming the monster I can be.
So I do what I always did before, endure their insults and taunts stoically. Even from the thing that wears my best friends face to mock me about what I lost.
But I can feel my agitation growing everyday.
I used to think my powers could protect me from anything.
Recently Armsmaster engaged and caught Lung as he was hunting the Undersiders.
It was a great victory for the local hero. But not one without cost.
Apparently Lung recruited a mad bomber and with him in jail, there was no one to hold her leash.
Still, me and father celebrated that such a monster was taken off the streets.
Maybe, things would look up from here on out?
Who knows, but right now I just enjoyed the time I spent with my father.
I used to think that my powers could protect me from anything.
But they couldn't protect me from hearing the news that my father was killed in the bombers rampage.
But they can help me gain revenge.
So I looked online to see if anyone had information on where I could find the mad bomber.
And it did.
The bomber, known as Bakuda, seems to be engaging the Undersiders on Uber and Leets show.
And they slipped up and told the audience where they were at in the old abandon train yard.
So I ignored the social workers that came to talk to me and I moved.
I used to think my powers could protect me from anything.
They can't, but I found out they allow me to move fast if I want to.
Though, I've been leaving craters in the ground with every jump.
But that doesn't matter to me.
Bakuda killed my father, the only person I had left in this world, and I was going to make her pay.
By moving quickly I made it to the abandon train yard in record breaking time.
To find her, all I needed to do was move towards the sounds of explosions.
When I did, she was standing on a jeep, gloating to the Undersiders who looked worse for wear.
But I didn't care about them. Only about the bitch that killed my father.
I used to think my powers could protect me from anything.
They can't, but they can protect me from many things.
When Bakuda and the Undersiders saw me, the mad bomber asked me who the fuck I was.
I told her that it didn't matter who I was as I was there to kill her.
The blond haired Undersider paled at that. Probably because she knew, somehow, that if her team got in my way, I would kill them as well.
The bitch on the jeep laughed and chucked a grenade at me.
It exploded on my face, but it didn't matter. All the energy that it released was absorbed by me.
I smiled.
The bitch swore and ordered the jeep to move as I leaped at her.
She tried everything, ice grenades, fire grenades, electricity, but I just plowed through them like they were not even there.
As soon as they touched me they automatically became non threats.
I even managed to land on the hood of the jeep, causing the mad bomber to go flying out of it and the jeep itself to explode.
I used to think my power could protect me from anything.
I was wrong, and paid the price.
I walked out of the explosion untouched and advanced menacingly towards the downed bitch.
Her eyes were wide with fear as she started scrambling for something.
I didn't care as she had nothing that could hurt me anymore, and she has no words that could pierce though my defences as the thing wearing my best friends face did.
She chucked a final grenade at me and I just smiled as it hit, fully confident that it would do nothing to me like the rest.
My world became pain.
All my nerves became fire, burning me from the inside out.
But I endured. As pain is something I am used to.
Dimly aware of my surroundings, I heard the bitch get up and laugh, gloating about her genius.
But she made a mistake as I played dead. She came up to my "corpse" to kick it with an exposed leg.
I reached out and grabbed it, surprising her.
All it took was one touch.
I made her blood boil, I made her scream for what she's done, I made her pay.
I used to think my powers could protect me from anything.
I've learned since then.
I don't know how long I stared at the charred corpse below me. How it's face was twisted with pain and horror.
I was dimly aware of my surroundings, fully engrossed in my thoughts.
I have gotten my revenge, but why did I feel like I lost something important?
I barely felt someone hugging me and whispering that everything was going to be ok.
But even that passed as I stared at the corpse in front of me.
I thought about what I lost, what was taken from me and I may have figured it out.
But everything was hazy... and why did I feel water trickling down my face?
I was dimly aware that the girl tried to make me move, tried to take me with her.
But she may as well tried moving a mountain. I move when I want to, not when someone else does.
She must have gave up because sometime later I heard heavy footsteps behind me.
I turned to look and he stiffened.
Not many could mistake him for anyone else, not with him wearing his heavy looking power armor and wielding his signature halberd, that he had in a guarded position.
He must think I might try to attack him. Try to do to him what I did to Bakuda.
He is wrong, I only wanted to ask one important question.
I turned back to the corpse of the woman that took so much from me.
"Hey, Armsmaster... am I a monster?"
Something I wrote using a prompt generator for Worm.
Also a reason why I haven't been writing lately.
My shit starts to turn depressing as fuck.
A poll, even?I have a pull up and going! Please pick your choice! Or forever wonder about what might have been.
Note that as soon as she takes the halberd from hammer space, it'll teleport back to him. Because he's got that built in
Tanuki oppresses OverReactionGuy by flattening the poll as the kitty is not fluffy enough to meet the standards of fluffy creatures! :3
Also it's not as if OverReactionGuy asked the mods to remove the poll... :3
Silly kitty... tanuki is still fluffier than kitty. :>
There are jokes that could be made in response to that, but they are inappropriate.
