About

"His name was Reggie, but he got into sports in high school. They started calling him Rex, until everyone used the name. He was this popular guy, charming. He was my brother. "When you?re rich, when you have people working under you who do the chores and handle the stuff that you?d normally do with your family, sometimes it?s hard to stay a family, you know? It gets to this point where, you know, your cool older brother only spends time with you because it?s his duty as a sibling. And when you realize that, it sort of hurts. Makes it insulting. I think I caught on to that around the time I started high school. I stopped accepting those token offers of siblinghood. "We were brother and sister, we lived in the same house, went to the same school. Our paths crossed, but we didn?t interact. We were strangers. He was caught up being the popular senior, and I kind of resented him for it. More for acting like a brother than not being a real brother. For being the popular kid, being the favorite child, heir to the family businesses. But I started noticing, he was in rough shape. The smiles seemed fake, he?d get angry easier. Was bottling something up inside. I?ve dwelled on it so long I?ve imagined possibilities and derailed my train of thought. Even with my power, I can?t guess. "He slowly got more and more distant. He?d fake more smiles, get a little more angry, a little more reckless. And then one day he offed himself. I?ve spent so long trying to figure it out, but I couldn?t. You?d think the star athlete might be gay, but it wasn?t that. Something else. I let on to my family that I?d noticed something, after, and they started blaming me. They were grieving, but that doesn?t excuse it, does it? Calling me stupid, an idiot. It got to be too much, like I was in a pressure cooker, everywhere I went, it was about him, and there was always this feeling, like everyone was aware that I?d known something and hadn?t spoken up, hadn?t done something to help. "I think I had my trigger event while I was asleep, tossing and turning and dreaming about it all. And then, boom, I wake up and I start figuring stuff out, with killer migraines on the side. Maybe if I?d caught on that it was powers sooner, I might have been more secretive, but my dad caught on. Did a complete turnaround. Faked affection, hid the real feelings, all to get me to use my power for the family?s benefit. I was already seeing too much ugly, even before the powers. Seeing more of it? Seeing when people were being fake, when everything else was still screwy because of Rex?s suicide? It was too much. I took more money than I should have from my parents and I ran." ?Lisa (Excerpt from https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/scourge-19-7/) (Credits for Avatar: http://fav.me/d9oorwc)
