New entry [from 7-8-2011]
Where do I start... after talking with Legionary about how he deals with being a 'superhero', he suggested I log my feelings somehow so... here it goes...
So let's start with the battle. It started off bad - real bad. I somehow missed the call so I showed up late. The team was pretty disappointed, seemed I could have been very useful against the fiends. They won't know how disappointed in myself I am - how did I miss the call and let the team down... on my first day even. What an idiot I am...
Catalyst, Legionary, and I split up to investigate another scene while Justicar, Graphite Shaft, and Maverick went to do some... other kind of investigate more suited to their unique... talents... When we arrived at the location of Professor Williams, he was being tossed out of the window. Luckily, I saved him, while Legionary tracked the perpetrator and Catalyst looked for surveillance recording.
With all evidence pointing towards Centurion being at fault, we rejoined the others and headed to the Freedom League HQ. A fight broke out - much to our surprise, after we turned over the evidence of Centurion's guilt was destroyed by the Freedom League. No surprise that as the fight went on, a mindflayer was sighted by Maverick and was subsequently destroyed, bringing the Freedom League back to their senses.
We then tracked Centurion back to his HQ, where he was ripping a whole in the fabric of space-time, in an attempt to destroy the universe. I learned that Centurion is not meant to be intimidated and will probably need to spend the next few days on bed rest with the wallop he put on me. Qat'el helped me understand what needed to be done and combined with Legionary's help we shut down the machine... Apparently, Omega kidnapped Legionary and brainwashed him during the White Event.
But that was just for my recollection if I need to remember something about the crime-fighting for whatever reason. More important - and likely true reason I should be writing this journal is to get my head on straight with balancing "real life" and being a "superhero" since this is all new to me.
Trish and I have been fighting a lot recently. She has really trying to be understanding, and I have been so obsessed with my work I haven't been paying attention to her the way I should have been. Being fired has really hurt our income, and she is really worried about money - and my safety...
As such, I talked with Sue (for the first time in a few months I am embarrassed to say), she has started up a storm chasing tour group - and has hired me on to help. That should fix some of the money issues for the time being. Unfortunately, in our first chase we had an encounter with both Chris Cirrus and Gale Galleon. We had a near collision with Chris - prompting a huge argument, and him declaring that he "would make sure our little side show would be bankrupt in weeks"... Later on I saw Chris and Gale closing in on a storm - and used my powers to kill the storm... Qat'el was furious with me and cut my powers off for a day and promised to take them away permanently if I ever used my powers for personal gain again...
I will talk with Catalyst and Justicar to take over my investigation of officials to help combat corruption - I just don't have the time as I have promised Trish to spend more time with her. To help with that I have been doing much of my reading research at night, laying beside her as she sleeps so she won't wake up alone anymore...
It is almost like I have two separate lives between Qat'el and Trish, and I don't know how I will hold them together - as how does one decide upon resurrecting a whole race I have no connection to or being with the one who you love and has been there for you through everything... Both are so important and I just need to find a balance...
