Emerging Superpowers...

The strongest attack the weakest, the law of the jungle reigns supreme here and I don't like it at all! Day and night, we see it all the time here: this kind of criminal is not afraid of anything and especially not of being worried, since the authorities don't give a damn... It's become a habit for its inhabitants, most of the time they act as if they were nothing when they see this kind of thing happening in front of their cowardly eyes, to avoid reprisals and save their skin, but not me! Since it can't go on like this, I'm fed up with all this mess: seeing people terrorized and being attacked like that, without saying or doing anything, is not in my nature.
So I decide to intervene, every time the opportunity arises. This is what I have decided now, saving the girl the other night has definitely convinced me! I have become fearless and blameless! Because I can no longer stand by and pretend to ignore their suffering any longer, to all those people, whom society has let down.
Living a lie like the other sheep and following the same dictate, that society teaches you, since you are little. I mean, let's face it, being a coward and hypocrite like all the others, just to be able to save your life is beneath me. And it is clearly not part of my code of honor! It is absolutely out of question!
Once I arrived in front of them, I feel a huge heat spreading through my whole body. I am literally burning from the inside, without burning up or feeling pain. On the contrary, I'm in great shape like I've never been before!!! Damn, what a kick!!! I feel an invisible, immeasurable force, gaining me and rising in me like a kind of adrenaline. However, the difference is that it is a thousand times stronger. Unexpectedly, I raise my eyes to the sky for no apparent reason and look at the sun without explaining it, while these jerks talk to me in the void.
I am irremediably attracted by him, impossible to detach my glance so much the attraction for this star, is powerful! They see well that I do not answer them and that annoys them greatly. After all, I do not take them seriously at all. They are about to throw themselves both on me to fight. When, suddenly, the heat that I am feeling gets stronger and faster, all of a sudden I am very very hot and I don't know why. A huge and fiery sunbeam suddenly appears from nowhere in the sky and suddenly falls on me with a bang.
My whole body gives off an extremely strong and blinding light and in less time than it takes to say it, I settle their account with these rascals. They are greatly dazzled and I take the opportunity to give them two or three well placed blows. I move alone at an incredible speed, always with this whiter than white glow, which runs through my whole being. Even me, I can't see anything, but I manage to discern their presence around me, without being able to put words on what happens to me now...
I illuminate the whole alley and the surroundings and my limbs move by themselves hastily, while I strike them the coup de grace! Without killing them, of course. I am not a murderer and I am much better than them. It is as if I am as fast as the speed of light. I move like in a cartoon: my movements are fluid, impetuous and lively, like the wind. I know at the very moment when his bastards hit me, without any explanation. I manage to anticipate their every move and strike five minutes before they do...
The victim can't look at me, he is crouched on the ground with his arms in front of his eyes, because the glare I give off is much too intense, well yes, I light up the whole neighborhood!!! He does not see my face. In less time than I think, these idiots are on the ground unconscious, inert and out of it. I beat the crap out of them! And I get the money out of their pocket that they just stole. I give it back to the person concerned, even though he keeps his eyes closed due to my light. He can't believe his eyes when he sees his two sworn enemies on the ground, unconscious.
He thanks me very warmly several times while whining like a baby. He wonders why I am so enlightened, on both sides of my whole being? It is very strange and he has never seen this happen in his whole life! I have no explanation to give him. Since I myself do not know the exact reasons, nor the why of the how... I make him swear to keep silent about his rescue, to be able to protect my identity which must absolutely remain secret, even if he cannot see me!
He doesn't look me in the eye while talking. Only the outline of my eyes, mouth, nose and ears are visible. Nothing else. He accepts my request without flinching and asks nothing in exchange for his silence. Because I have just saved his life, which is not nothing... Nothing matters more to him than that now!
He is admiring and completely relieved. I signal to him that I have to leave, so that no one can spot me because of my too visible luminescence. I tell him to be careful where he goes and warn him against people who look suspicious and to run away from them, whatever the reason. Because he is too weak! So everyone is merciless with him.
He takes my advice, greets me and leaves as soon as I leave the alley. He takes the time to call the police just before, who have already arrived on the scene to lock them up. But they pass by the box: small stay in the hospital before, to cure of their wounds. Since they are in bad shape because of me, I have to admit it. It makes me laugh just thinking about it, they didn't see it coming, those big jerks!
I run away from the place as fast as possible, not to be seen by anyone anywhere! Fortunately, before going out of my house, I always take my big coat which is rather long and well covering, it is cold since it is in winter. It manages to hide my enlightenment, just long enough for me to get home. However, my jacket does not cover my face at all, we only see that: my sparkle! And even through this garment, my radiance shows in the distance, I must be quick!
I press the step not to be noticed. I don't need to be stared at, and I don't want to look strange in this outfit... I run in all haste and lock myself in the time that this phenomenon passes... I take off my jacket and undress completely, then, I look at myself in the mirror. I am yellow and bright orange like the sun and I light up my whole apartment like a neighborhood light! It's f*****g mind-blowing! But I can hardly see this brightness, without burning my eyes too...
It's incredible and I'm home in less than two minutes, while the travel time from where I am is ten minutes on foot, minimum. I am glowing like a blazing sunrise! I can't control this brightness, and I'm boiling inside and out. As a proof, my coat has literally melted under this extreme heat, I hardly have time to take it off. I don't understand what's going on, but it's incredible! I have such a shape, but this luminescence and this heat in me, where do they come from? I'm so excited I can't stand still at all! I am on fire!
I have to calm down because I have to go back to work the next morning! DAMN! How do I do it in this state?! It's impossible for me to go like this, impossible! I'll be spotted from far away, that's for sure. Besides, I certainly don't want to be a guinea pig or a lab rat for the government, no. That's out of the question! I have to find a solution to the problem quickly, otherwise I risk getting fired and the little money I earn, I lose it, that's for sure and therefore, I can't keep my apartment anymore!
It's already twenty thirty, I think for a long time to find a solution but nothing comes... Then, at twenty-one o'clock precisely, the sun goes down and gives way to the dark night. As soon as this one disappears, my radiation is killed with him! Really strange, moreover my forces also leave me. Comparable to an old worn out battery, as if I exhausted all my energy in one go.
I go to bed quickly, exhausted by this day and this weekend too intense for me. It's too much emotion and I don't understand what's going on. As they say, I'll sleep on it and I'll see more clearly tomorrow morning and find a solution before going to work, for sure.
