So hey, it’s me again. Here to continue my recount of London
after the “Event”. It took a few weeks
but I was eventually able to get my power under control and Blaze (As I call
it) whenever I want. At first it would only happen when I was angry or ‘heated
up’ (Get it?) but eventually I got it under control.
The first few weeks were by far the weirdest in terms of
getting used to everybody getting powers, it was all over the news, TV,
Facebook and Twitter (#MyNewAbility) and you can bet the Government capitalised
on it quickly. A new tax was declared for everybody that had powers or “Supers”
as they started calling them. A flying licence was also put into implementation
for all those that could fly, and only those who had permission were allowed to
fly and If caught flying without a licence then you could end up paying a huge
fine… “Flying in dangerous” they told us “We wouldn’t want accidents happening
in the air, therefore only trained professionals will be allowed to fly” made
it seem as if it was for our own good, but anyone could tell that it was the
Public Transport money they were worried about.
A lot happened during the first few months after this event
happened. As you can already guess, a bunch of costumed nerds joined forces and
started a Superhero team called “Team Justice”. Essentially it was just a bunch
of cosplayers who just wanted to walk up and down the streets dressed up as a
Superhero. I thought the trend would die out soon, and it was about to when the
first incident arose of a group of villains with abilities tried to rob a
Post-Office (I bet you thought I was going to say bank, naah, Banks are too
well protected, but a Post-Office is the next best thing) Though the villains
had certain powers they were no match for the ever growing army of “Team
Justice”. By now Team Justice was quite a big group and they were allowed to
establish themselves as a non-profit company with all their profit either going
into reinvestment or the Government. In return they were granted flying
licences and leave to use their powers as they wished.
The Government also saw that Supers were too strong for the
Police in general, especially those without powers; therefore they created the
Supers-Police, armed with new technology to help subdue rogue Supers. Ever
heard of restraint? They haven’t, always
going in guns blazing to every little problem.
The other month they had a lawsuit against them as they practically blew
up a shop chasing down a robber. Nobody was hurt however… well apart from the
robber who suffered several broken limbs and was in a coma for two weeks, all
because he stole some Basmati Rice.
Though despite the efforts of Team Justice and the
Supers-Police, Criminal groups also started popping up everywhere, one of the
major ones being the Hood Ratz… a crew in the south-London area that used their
abilities to mug and rob unsuspecting travellers. And they’re just one of the
groups of criminals out there.
Jeez, I’ve been talking about the world so much I totally
forgot the most important part… ME! Soo… what have I been doing since I got an
ability… Well I started Uni, and am sharing the upstairs of my older sister’s
apartment with Jerome and Jenna (one of my close cousins), Jerome goes to the
same uni as me; however Jenna is still in college, we also now take combat
classes once a week (Self-Defense, Kung Fu, Muai Thai have become quite popular
since the Supers event). There is always work to be done as Supers so we set up
a service to use our abilities to gain a bit of extra money, from cleaning cars
to being bodyguards.
So guys remember if you need a Super for hire email me @ Blaze553@Hotmail.co.uk with your job
and prices.
