[ WP ] You are a superhero who has a useless super power . That is , until you meet your villains and see their powers .

`` You've got to be kidding me.'' Terrance dropped the pie. 
 
 Emilia held up her hands, palms out. `` I can explain.'' 
 
 `` Emilia, you sure do. How the hell is your hair blue? it was red just a second ago.'' Terrance knelt down cleaning up the remains of the pie. It was such a shame. It was her favorite and dropping it because of a hair color change? Really an over reaction on his part, he thought. 
 
 Emilia ran her hands through her blue locks. `` It's my super power. I'm just really good at turning my hair colors.'' 
 
 `` That's it?'' Terrance picked up the pie tin. `` Hair colors?'' 
 
 `` Uh... I also make salt?'' 
 
 `` That's... kind of lame, in the best way.'' 
 
 Emilia shrugged. `` I come from a line of lame superpowers.'' 
 
 Terrance laughed. `` You know, that explains why mom always had new hair colors and why we never ran out of sugar.''

 `` What's going on?'' Emilia shrieked. A concrete pillar chose that exact moment to tear through half her bedroom and take out her new Xbox. 
 
 `` It's ELSA!'' Her brother appeared in the door, hand reaching out for her. 
 
 `` ELSA?'' The building started shaking. 
 
 `` I DO N'T KNOW. I GUESS THIS SUPER VILLAIN REALLY LIKES DISNEY.'' 
 
 Emilia clung onto her bed frame as the whole building shook. Stupid villains and their stupid dramatics. This is why insurance was so expensive. She grabbed her brother's hand before jumping into his arms. 
 
 `` What caused it this time?'' 
 
 `` I think the Disney marathon was canceled.'' 
 
 `` She's a grown woman.'' 
 
 Terrance elbowed her as they followed the evacuation route. `` Sis, dad always said to not assume gender.'' 
 
 `` Alright.'' She rolled her eyes. Great. Just fantastic. As they stepped into the safe zone made by Mr. Shield, she looked up. 
 
 Elsa was a 40-something, balding man. 
 
 Lovely. 
 
 `` So... what are the heroes going to do?'' 
 
 Terrance shrugged. `` Flamethrower was frozen solid a few minutes ago according to Twitter and it looks like Elsa is just Mr. Shield says that Elsa is just a baby supe. Repressed and that's why it's manifesting so badly.'' 
 
 She hated seeing the results of the hatred and bigotry from years ago destroying people. So may people killed. So many people repressed their powers. So many people were warped by hiding who they were as the powers inside them ate away at their personalities. Suicide rates in the 30-50 age range were through the roof in the supes community. 
 
 `` Damn, the alt-human movement.'' 
 
 `` Yeah.'' 
 
 Emilia felt her brother squeeze her tighter. `` Can Aquagirl do anything?'' 
 
 `` All her water is being frozen. Wait.. no, they're out of salt so they ca n't keep traffic moving out of the city.'' 
 
 Emilia grabbed her brother's phone. `` They're just evacuating us?'' 
 
 `` With half the team assisting the Galactic Heroes, there's not enough people to stop Elsa.'' 
 
 Emilia shook her head. `` No, there's got to be a way...'' 
 
 Her brother shook his head, the little salt crystals that had landed on him, falling on his shoulders. 
 
 `` Salt.'' 
 
 `` What?'' Terrance grabbed her hand, trailing behind her as they made their way to the front of the shield. 
 
 `` SALT!'' Emilia screamed, swinging an arm around her brother. `` Mr. Shield, I need a boost!'' 
 
 `` What?'' Mr. Shield stared at her hands, salt... a lot of it. `` Oh.''

 Maria Torres held onto her husband's hand. `` My Emilia is out there.'' 
 
 Terrance Sr. grinned.
