And they will become a tyrant, for the fact that they are power-hungry in the first place. When you think about it, the only one that are gaining benefit from all these comes back to their roots, the authorities

And thats why superheroes were murdered left and right. The superheroes were preventing those exploits, and just offed them inhumanely

It was bad enough that the authorities turned a blind eye to the low-tiers before the amplifiers were invented. But to use them for their gains? Thats where it most irritates Leilah. It was more the reason she wanted to erase powers

"So... thats all there is to it!?" Sera asked. It was just unbelievable for her

"You'd think that there was some kind of grand reason, right?" Leilah replied, "But it's just plain disgusting"

"But Sis... How do you know all this?" But Leilah hesitated to answer, "Actually... you don't have to answer—"

"I..." Leilah quietly began, and she moved her head closer, covered hr mouth a bit — and whispered to Sera, "I'm actually a superhero myself"

Sera gasped, but then she realized that John might've already encountered her when he was escaping with Remi injured

"Do you have a codename, Sis?" Sera chuckled, she probably won't be childish enough to have one

"Yeah, I do"

"W-what...?" Sera was stunned yet again

"Can I trust you, Sera?" Leilah asked, wondering if she's about to regret this

"Yeah! Fully!"

...

"It's Mistress Emerald"

Sera's eyes widened. She felt like she saw that name somewhere ages ago, but where? But suddenly, it struck her. It was the death pool list that was scattered around the bulletin boards at school

It barely had any votes, probably because Sis was literally invincible, but it all makes sense now

It barely had any votes, probably because Sis was literally invincible, but it all makes sense now. Suddenly, Sera's phone rang. She took it out of her pocket to realize John just messaged him

"Sera, you're still with your sister, right?" He asked, 'Was he worried something might happen to me or something?' Sera thought, and chuckled too

Leilah took a glance at her tiny watch, just to realize it was late already

"Sera, why don't you head home for now" Leilah began, "You have school tomorrow, right?"

"O-okay..." Sera replied, "Uhm, Sis?"

"Hm?"

"Oh, it's nothing. See you" Sera stood up and headed towards the door, but was stopped by Leilah

"Sera!" She called, and Sera turned her face to her, "Just... be safe, alright?"

Sera nodded, "Alright"
