El: oh yeah. the cops, in fact, the whole government hates that I have powers. views it as a threat to theirs. so, when they see me using my powers, they like to try and get me arrested
El: I wish I could choose to sleep. Trauma keeps me up, so most of the time I don't. the only times I do sleep are when I collapse from exhaustion or am knocked out
El: well, the way it was amplified. When I was younger, there was an explosion. I couldn't get out of it. I survived, obviously, but that explosion hurts to think about. I had to, not only feel that pain, but look at the bloodied bodies of others
El: no you don't get it. I have to stay out here. It's my job to catch criminals. and these people I have been after for months. not going to blow this now. go inside
El: you don't know these people! if anyone is associated with me, they will kill them. go inside until they are dead. pretend you aren't home. hide. go. now!
