Then the unthinkable happened. . . *bang bang*. . . the sound of gunfire. Everyone panicked. No one knew what to do. More gunfire went off and before Mike knew what was going on he was making his way towards the hallway. He wanted to run away but his legs wouldn't let him. He just kept moving towards the gunfire. Then he saw the shooter; He was a meek individual. He had always been at the butt of most of the jokes. He could feel the kids anger and fear all at once.

And then he felt the incredible pain of the bullets ripping though his chest. And the numbness. And then the blackness. He had felt death but then his eyes opened. He got up and saw many of his fellow students dead. He even doubted that he himself was alive. As he made his way through the halls, the school was as silent as a ghost ship. Then the saw the carnage of the cafeteria. Everyone at lunch was dead and the killer was there with them, alive but barely. How one person did all this, he thought, was impossible but there it was, the murder laying there dying. He looked up at Mike and said "Maybe now I can relax. All the bullies are gone". Then he died. Mike was the only one left in the school alive. He stood there for what seemed like days. He felt the darkness in the school and still pulsing through his dead heart.

The police showed up and questioned him but it was all a blank. When he saw the video from the cameras, he froze. He saw himself die. . . he was dead for over an hour. An hour was all it took to kill everyone in the school. He gassed everyone through the vents and shot them as they ran into the halls. He felt a sickening to his stomach knowing he was unable to save them. Something inside him told him he could have.

Since then he has taken online school for the rest of his senior year and moved to Atlanta to search for a calling. He feels more then ever he is meant to be a hero.

Mike doubts his own abilities but wants to help people he has discovered his powers and wants to become a hero.
