The Hot Shot Journal #4

by The Hot Shot Jasmine Ariel Crabtree

Date and time?
 
After some mainly mundane communication by Socrates, I call it Ringo 2001, with us. Coordinates were giving outside of Millennium City to an unused military supply depot on an abandoned rail route. It told us to turn out and we would be helping the resistance. It gave them a name.
 
The New Champions.
 
Once my older brother drove us out there. In our restored beater with the gas guzzling V8 and four doors. A battle ensued between him and my older sister Joanna. It began just after we heard and felt an explosion. Joanna is far more conservative than Jason. Who is pretty aggressive? A typical young man.
 
I sat there listening as they went about all the pros and cons of sending me into harms way. Deliberately. With the sole intent of me fighting alongside these "New Champions". Usually siding with Jason. This time Joanna had the better angle. We need to be careful cautious not carefree like this is some sort of first date.
 
The sounds of a battle rage on, as do Joanna and Jason. I sit. Fussing with my little red cape as it chokes me. A little, not bad. Remember to breath j. Finally, some sort of agreement is reached! I get out of the car. Get my gear make sure everything checks outs. After hugs all around. I turn and walk down the street past a sad old bus and see my first glimpse of a superhero.
 
I moved up and asked him?
 
The scene with Cypher plays out live. Then picks up again as The Hot Shot takes down a man behind a White car.
 
Am I a superhero now? If I am. I'm making sure to act and treat people way better than that jerk Cypher! That and I'm not too sure going up to someone in a mask I don't know and then doing what he wants and just shooting someone is something I'd want to make a habit of? Joanna is correct we need to get more control of this thing. Not just walk up to a fight and shoot someone.
 
What about this poor man I shot? He probably just needed the money for his family. Maybe even being strongarmed into this? Listen to me think. I'm a teenager. Thinking about things like this? My life as I thought it would be three years ago is over.
 
Wait! What if I'm the only girl? Do I have to deal with a team full of Cyphers?
 
Remember to breath j.
