History!
The sweet nothings!
You know how some superheroes manage to get amnesia, and they arrive back into the waking world in some spectacular fashion? Or in a horrible location? Cassandra isn't one of those people.
....For the most part.
Her story, as far as we know, starts on 24th of May, 2012. It was a sunny day in Belgium. Obviously, with such a rare weather phenomenon, shit was bound to get out of whack.
Oh. You might be wondering where Belgium IS. It's a little (microscopic, even) country from Europe, known for it's chocolate, bad sports and it's capital being the HQ for Europe. Regardless, the place where Cassie woke up wasn't quite so renowned. Machelen, to be exact.
Now, remember your last drunken binge. Now that you've failed, remember the aftermath of your blackout. Those moments of trying to recall what the fuck happened, and you piecing it together. What Cassie went through those first couple of days was pretty similar, but worse. After all, most don't usually wake up with black (as in, utterly black, not Afro-American) skin, blue glowing orbs for eyes and a complete lack of memories.
Well..That last part's not quite accurate. She did have some memories. Just nothing containing locations or people. She knew the basics of how to be a civilized teenager. Aside from her fits. Those were rather subdued and sporadic. Not to mention justified. I blame a lack of experience. Oh, and she also had superpowers, and knowledge on how to use them.
As far as blackouts go, not an overly bad trade-off. Aside from maybe her baldness. But you know, she makes it work for her. She has a lot of funny hats and wigs.
You might be wondering : how did the people of Machelen react? Well....Rather well, all things considered. The government wasn't all too sure what to do about her, but a local family (the Klaasens) offered to take her in.Well, I say family, but it was just them and their son in this big-ass house. They liked her and they could use company! The government didn't make a fuzz, hell, they helped her citizenship along. It probably helped that she had superpowers. After all, having a superhero who's got ties in the country could never be a bad thing. You never know if a super-villain would try a practice run on their land, right?
Life of a teleporty kid!
Now. I could tell you what happened next. I could elaborate on this one jackass (name undisclosed) who kept groping her when no-one was watching because she was 'exotic'. Her newly christened big brother (Derrick Mildew) kinda took offense when he found out. He voiced his displeasure in a way only wooden bats could convey.
Or the tale about the few people who DID object to a superhuman living in the community. About their stupid bullshit spiel about 'superhumans attracting bad news'....Okay, granted. It happens a lot, but a sweet lass like Cassie? REALLY? Bull. Shit.
Hell, those fuckers is why she wasn't all too keen on using her powers the first few months. She got better, though. A lot better. But more on that in a minute.
