Let me start by saying that...the world isn't a great place to live in. There's war, poverty, and not to mention the attack of evil villains.

Oh... yeah, here in this world, villains exist.

If you did not already know beforehand. A villain is a person or a group of people with a superpower or has a unique ability, who breaks the law for their selfish needs. And in this world, they're real and are not an actual threat unless we provoke them. Though if mankind had superheroes to fight them back! Then we wouldn't have to cozy up to them and meet their demands.

But soon things will change, a new team of superheroes is rising and they don't even know it yet. This is the story of how I and my friends became superheroes. This is the story of, The Elite.

Let me start this story off on the date 7/22/2022, in Seattle, WA. Where we find an eighteen-year-old boy named, Michael Pinster. "He was me." I was your average everyday guy and loved my life the way it was. "Wouldn't change a thing" is the thing I told my friends and family all the time, even though it got a bit annoying after a while.

Not important, but it all started on a midsummers day, I had just graduated from high school and was getting ready to relax for the summer. I made my way home from my girlfriend's house after walking her home from our date. I didn't know it at the time, but when I noticed a man in a mask standing in front of an open window of my house, things would never be the same.

I sneaked up to the window for a close look to see what was going on. But before I could perch down on the ground, "Boom" a gunshot. With my heart racing, I fell back onto the ground and got up. I looked through the window and saw my mother crying while I saw an image that will be burned into my head forever. I looked and saw my father lying in a pool of his blood on the carpet.

You know that thing that happens when you're about to die, you see an angel flying in front of you. At that moment, I swore, I saw one fly over my father, watching him as he drifts closer and closer to relief.

I was too focused on my father that I didn't notice that my mother was about to be joining him on the floor. I then had a moment of an adrenaline rush and ran around the house! I hopped the fence and ran to the back door! Then, suddenly I notice something weird halfway in the ground. I didn't want to know what it was so I kept walking to the door, but I then heard a voice saying, "Stop, wait!" I flinched and shouted, "Who's there?" I didn't hear the voice again, but the thing in the ground started to move and it arose in midair.

It floated up and hovered towards me, while I just stood there as the thing came closer, and closer. Till it finally stopped in front of me, and I saw that it was a Briefcase with a weird symbol engraved on it.

Weird as it was, when I tried to grab it, the briefcase opened up and started to glow real bright. In a literal comparison, it was bright as a high powered, military grade, flashlight!" After what I assume was about fifteen seconds, it started to dimmer down as some kind of shape appeared out from the glow. It revealed itself to be something very unexpecting. A glowing red watch.

The craftsmanship on it was exquisite and lavish, so I just had stick my hand out to grab it. However, like a Ben 10 situation it made itself to be, the watch launched itself onto me and stuck on my wrist. It was a freaky turn of events, but the situation just kept getting more and more freaky, because after it latched onto me. Everything around me began to light up and I was blinded. Until I noticed that I was shockingly on fire.
