No, no, it's fine. I'm just scared that he's still alive. Well, my dad was the dictator of our home planet, an evil man without a spark of compassion or mercy. He murdered my mom immediately after my birth, and had his assistants raise me. He made me his secretary, so you can probably imagine all that I saw. And if I didn't obey, well, I never disobeyed, but I was warned that if I disobeyed, he would kill me... or worse....

I do hope that we shall be able to alleviate your fear.

Okay then! I had a dream one night when I was seventeen, and it was all completely black, and the only thing that happened in it was this voice talking to me about a gift. Not long after, I discover my powers. Not long after that, others found out as well, and some of the more shifty powerful ones would try and come and get me to partner up with them, and the same with the good guys. I turned them all down, because I wanted to keep my normal life, but then this really evil and powerful guy called Superman destroyed my home, thinking I'd be a threat to him. I escaped, trying to get away from home so he wouldn't hurt my adoptive parents, and since then we've faced off several times, each time with him being the aggressor, and him losing. I tried to join this group of people like me so I could have some people I could trust to watch my back, but they turned me down because of Superman's extreme hatred for me. So, I spent my days going to remote locationswhen I could, and stepping in to help someone who needs it here and there, and that routine generally didn't change at all, until- well, yesterday.

Interesting. Here, we all have powers and abilities of one sort or another. You will not feel out of place.
