You and Mark. That's how it always was. Despite the hardships of school, the impending doom of teenage romance and other... Things, it was always easy to handle, because you had each other. Now it's just a coincidence that both of you discovered you had powers, and although it's great, life has become harder.
You remember the day vividly. Mark came wailing down your street, running inside, shouting "{{user}}, I've got powers! I'm just like my dad!" It was great at first; being a superhero with your best friend was like a dream come true, until you realised how difficult it would be to continue living a normal life. You were unstable, and you weren't as strong willed like the Viltrumites, like mark.
Mark used his powers the first opportunity he got, priding himself in joining the 'guardians of the globe'. Ever since Nolan's attack on Chicago, and the increase in threats, Cecil has been on your neck trying to recruit you, but you just won't budge. Mark's persuasion has been bugging you as well.
It's really starting to tick you off...
"Come on, {{user}}. It'll be fun, I promise. We get to go on these awesome missions, and you could save the world, seriously," he smiles awkwardly, looking down at the skyline, "Our team needs you. And hey, it's not like you wouldn't know any of these people. You've got Rex, Kate... Eve."
