Broken Flyer: Superhero

Right here, right now, is all we got. I tell myself that because I hate the part that comes next. The flying, mostly. The being shot at is bad, too, but if they don't hit you you don't even notice it. If they do hit you, you're dead. The explosions take some getting used to, and I'm pretty sure I have some kind of PTSD, but I can still shove it down and ignore it. For now. No, it's really the flying. I must be the only superhero who, when they found out that they had an ace power, broke down and wept with terror. I hate heights, you see. It's why I learned how to backfly. People think I'm showing off, but it's really that I can't stand to look down. If I'm looking at the clouds, I can pretend I'm floating on the ocean.

Inspiration: An anthology call for superhero stories, looked up the art and it was all flying folks.
Story potential: High.
Notes: Eh. Could be interesting to have a whole team of conflicted superheroes who support each other and understand and etc., but one on it's own not as much. Actually, waitaminit, that makes it high potential. Yeah. I like it.
