THE ARCADIAN

Arcadia County, Elysian Heights - Superpowered native Austin Witten was found dead earlier yesterday morning as police and medical examiners attended the home after a call came describing what appeared to be a shooting star hitting the backyard of the lower mainland area house.

An investigation revealed the victim of the crash to be Austin Witten, Witten was known throughout the county as a superpowered 'hero' described by some in the county. The rise of powered vigilantes has drawn concern in the nation from lawmakers and the public, from all accounts Witten was loved within the county. Investigators say his death was in conjunction with other use of his powers daily, causing heart failure.

Advocates for control of powered person say this is a sign that power usage has a negative overall effect to human bodies and thus the powers should be restricted or controlled to save lives, while others disagree the debate on powers and the people who use them rage on.

Needless to say, despite debate a hero in Arcadia County has perished.

Home Coming

Driving in to Elysian Heights was definetly something, akin to being hit by a truck when she finally crossed the county lines back into a Elysian. How did she feel with this all coming to ahead, Austin wasn't really a pal of Cass's but something drove her to come back to Elysian - his death was just the catalyst to that after all.

Sharks would say it's to scoop the story about the death of a hero, few would say that she cared - could she even change that narrative?

Before she could hit the innerside of Elysian she was lit up by a Arcadia Sheriff's patrol car, being pulled over she stopped on the shoulder. Within a few minutes her vehicle was approached by none other than Marcus Goodnight - the Sheriff, funny name aside he was an older man, almost hitting 60 has been conseuctively re-elected as Sheriff time and time again. The white shirt wearing, cologne dunked, miltary esque attire man made it to the driver's side peering in.

"License and registration." Pausing for a moment 

"Cass Warden."

"Alright, take tomorrow off. Don't think the Sheriff will have an issue."

In the Sergeant's office, Miller's request for time off to attend the funeral was granted reluctantly. The "main" funeral had already happended, a parade celebrating Austin's life - speeches from the Mayor, Sheriff and even the County Chair had come down to Elysian to a massive crowd, over a thousand was it?

But that's not what today would be about, this funeral - the real one, not the dress rehearsal was more personal, real, lived in. There wasn't going to be a massive crowd of people, they already 'came' for that yesterday. Feeding the people and what they wanted, yeah it all was just a circus. 

He changed, left the locker room and made it to the underground parking lot - leaving the night behind he returned home. 

Dawn called upon him and reflection - everything that happended up until now, how did they end up as best friends to them drifting apart. Austin had grown bigger than any of the two thought that they would, he was larger than life - a hero in life, not just death.

It was the morning now, there was more to think about - he had all the time in the world, it's taken for granted. Austin never did though, and with that there is alot Austin never will do.

Living, that's what comes to Miller's mind - how will they live now, with him gone? Did it matter?

Brake Check

"Bay 3, opening bay 3!"

One of the mechanics calls out as Summer Ford's car was dragged in lifeless to the mechanic bay, one mechanic below in the decks and more up top including Jaxon. This was the last thing that Summer was expecting on her way to Austin's funeral, it was already bad enough he was dead - it just sounded horrible, death by use of his powers? How does someone go out like that, was she - could she already be showing signs? The flat tire just exagerbated the entire ordeal.

Just like any other day Jaxon worked his little shop, being one of the powered businesses in Elysian was a boost for him and his small motley crew of recent high school grads. There had been some serious traffic yesterday, the shop was going to be shut down early so he could attend the funeral. Hell that night where Austin saved him, it still resonates with him to this day - but while the day dreaming faded on our shield powered friend reality kicked back in as one of his mechanics approached with a chart.

"Driver's front side tire is out, flat needs a change. Lady says she knows you?"

That's when Jaxon met Summer, again.
