[ WP ] Retell the origin of a superhero , but reveal the hero at the end of the story .

It hit my heart, just as hard as it hit theirs. 
 My entire life, in a single instance, has been flipped upside-down. 
 Forever. 
 How is it that something so pure, so warm, can be ripped from existence so easily? Especially at a time when things were so... right. 
 The blinding flash still stings my eyes. Still present when I close them. A white splotch left in the middle of my gaze. 
 The deafening, earthshaking sound still rings in my ears. Once, twice. 
 
 I do n't think I'll ever escape this. It still keeps me up at night. My hands are shaking even now, just as they did on that night so long ago. Stained crimson with their blood, and no amount of scrubbing, no product advertised on the TV that fills every channel this late at night will be able to remove it. No miracle concoction... no such thing exists. 
 
 Night after night I do this. 
 I relive that night, sink into a paralyzing depressive state... 
 And then channel it all, into my `` work''. 
 It's the only thing that keeps me sane now. My only coping mechanism. 
 I go out, round up all of the scumbags in this diseased city and drop them off at Blackgate, or if I'm lucky, Arkham. Those ones are always the most fun. I probably need to be locked up in there as much as they do. 
 
 Hm. Time to go.
