One Gigawatt - [Action / Voice]

[Action - Locked to Bolin]

For what seemed like moments ago, Static watched as his mother vanished into darkness. A barrier constructed of space of time kept him from reaching her. And there'd been nothing he could do. Everything went dark and then there was nothing.

Until now. There was grass, the sounds of chirping birds and the sun getting in his eyes. Immediately Virgil sat up in a panic and looked around frantically.

"Mom!?"

But as far as he could tell, there was nothing. Worse than that, he realized he was in nothing but a pair of white pants that he had way more sense than to ever pick up for himself. And he was in a forest, which didn't bode well. Okay, so you're Virgil right now. In the middle of nowhere. Possibly in Medieval times if Timezone messed things up.

"Oh man. Not good."

Warily, he began to explore.

[Action - Afternoon]

So he was stuck in a place called Luceti. The first thing he did, once he got a chance to be by himself, was circle back to the clothing store and assemble his Static outfit. He found his metal disc at the item shop not long after. So once he felt confident with his much weaker powers, he took off towards the barrier. After about fifteen minutes of pumping it with electricity and getting nowhere, he decided it would be a bad idea to drain himself completely and be forced to walk all the way back to the town. So he returned to town, found a convenient power outlet to draw power from at the Tea Shop, and finally decided to do something about the journal. The question was... introduce himself as Static or as Virgil Hawkins?

Well, the answer was obvious.

So hey, Static here. If you haven’t heard of me, I’m a superhero from Dakota City. But really, has anyone heard of me? No, it’s not in North or South Dakota. I get that a lot. So I guess you could kinda say I’m new here. But I was kind of wondering about how to deal with the superhero thing. There's others here, right? The secret identity thing is pretty important, after all. But it's probably gonna be hard keeping it secret in a small town like this. Unless I just wear the mask all the time. I could probably do that if I have to.

Man, I just wish the Justice League was here. Batman would have already found a way out of this place by now.

[Oh...that didn't sound good. This guy must have been on his own here or at the very least he didn't find his friends yet.]

Or you could stay with someone. I mean, everyone's pretty nice here and it might help you get used to the place if you got a veteran helping you out.

Mm. [Which seems to leave her at a slight loss, as if she isn't very good at social conversation despite her manners.]

Your friend, Batman, I think he'd be glad you want to work to keep the people safe, too.

"Yeah, it's kinda surprising. And you should be careful of those things, if they get hurt you're gonna be messed up for a while."

Wouldn't that just give them a chance to study what we're capable of and make them more of a pain in the butt to deal with?

[There's a slight hesitation before she answers.]

People who are a little overprotective about their identities.

Really? You have? A nerd?

[Jack doesn't sound like he believes him.]

And you were robbed of your lunch money?

Oh, of course. How silly of me to forget. [That is not the sound of an impressed girl.] And it’s not like I can actually defend myself or anything.

...Nope, not really. [ Something to do with electricity and magnets?? ]

Not very well; but I think he was an admirable person. So I sort of thought a lot of what he did for everyone.

[...Of course he does. Robin really needs to work on his issues.]

Awesome. Where are you? I can come find you, show you where it's at.

How...how did you get them? Your powers?

[Because nerdy Jack could use some powers, true enough.]

Superman sounds like the kind of guy my dad would really enjoy sparring against if he's as strong as it sounds like he is.

[He certainly sounds impressive.]
