Chapter 2 - The life of a hero.

Alex pov:

Being a hero is harder than i thought, especially with a villain-like power, not only i have to save people(who normally would rather be hurt in whatever danger they were traped in, than to be saved by me), but i have to recieve loads of hate comments everyday(not joking), like, for example, today i was happily walking through the avenue, when i hear a person screaming "fire", it was on a building, and well, i entered and saved most of the people, but since my power is darkness, well, nobody can really see me, so..., well, the point is, there was just one girl left, and how do i know it?, well, she was crying for help, and well, since im not very good with sounds i roamed through the hallways searching for her, when suddenly a hero called Laverue, it sounds strange, right? its name is because she can turn into something weird that isn't destroyed by really hot temperatures, like lava, and that's why she's basically called "Lava Avenue", and im getting off tracks again..., well the point is this hero entered the house and found the girl(who we will be calling Martha) pretty easily, so Martha was safe, yay!, bad news, i didnt notice that till i got out of the building, some seconds before it crashed down, so, guess who got all the merit and who was said to be the villain? exactly, Laverue after saving just Martha was the hero, however, I who saved decens of lifes was a villain that forced everyone to go inside and that was roaming inside to find my hostages, like, what is up with that?!, i mean, i know im not totally innocent, but still, its not like they've got any proof, since i was actually innocent. This just sounds as a dejavu of when i was little...

But, thats not all of my problems, how am i supposed to be a known hero if i cant be in the light for long??!!, yep, i can't be in the sun, it's come to a point where my power became stronger, but its more of the esthetic more than anything, why?, well, because my eyes now shine a dark purple when i use my powers, to me, it looks cool, but to the rest of the world, it seems "villanous", which is stupid if I may say my opinion about it, however, ill keep my opinions to myself, it's just... tiring, doing my best while people are acusing me of what i couldnt do even at my worst, is this what all heroes go through?, it makes me ponder if the known villains are just made by the point of view of who says the story, are all villains actual villains?

I should really stop thinking about it afterall, it seems this will be my life from now on.
