My name is Jason Troy, and I have a secret.

It all started a couple a weeks ago when Ms. Jennings was sick, and we had a substitute teacher for English class. He was a wierd guy. Looked kind of like the nutty professor(Lewis, not Murphy). Anyway, he gave us a creative writing assignment and said that the student who created the best modern hero and origin story would get a prize.

I could tell most of the other kids totally weren't into it, but I was kind of excited. I liked writing, and I had an idea almost immediately it seemed.  My hero was called the Fantastic Fly, and I made up a wild origin, complete with a mystic who grants him his powers.

So, he ended up saying my hero was the best. Honestly, I think I was the only one who turned one in.

Anyway, he told me to stay after class. I did, and he said he really liked the purity of my hero, and that is why he had picked him. Then he gave me a piece of amber, that had a preserved fly in it. When I looked at it, it seemed to shimmer a bit for a second. I told myself it was just the light reflecting off it. Anyway, I threw it in my pocket and went to my next class. Gym, yay me...

So I am in gym, and we are in the locker room when two guys I recognized as schoolmates, busted into the locker room. They had guns and trench coats on. They were screaming something about revenge, and I  thought to myself that I wished a superhero would show up. I got down and tried to hide under the benches, but I noticed I couldn't even fit under there. I stood up, and I was way bigger than I should have been. I also seemed to be dressed in a wierd suit and I felt really strange. My sight was bugging me out too, literally. It was like I could see almost everywhere at once.

One of the kids yelled "Who the hell are you supposed to be?, and he fired his shotgun at me. I thought I was a gonner, but the shell shot just hit me with no effect. I was bulletproof! The fact that he shot me suddenly pissed me off, and I charged him and jumped on top of the guy. I pulled the gun out of his grasp and hit the guy so hard it dislocated his jaw. That didn't make sense. I had never been this strong before.

The other kid saw what happenned to his buddy and dropped his gun and started running. I wanted to catch him, but I didn't expect what actually happenned. I thought I was running after him really fast at first until I realised i was actually flying!

I caught up to the kid really easy, and made sure not to hit him quite as hard. I knocked him out and then went looking for help.  I found one of the school security guards, and led him to the two would be murderers. I made my excuses and flew off.

I got outside the school, and found an alley. I was pretty scared and I just wanted to be my regular self; and so I was. I changed back!

I made my way home and tried to figure out what was going on. With no luck, I fell asleep and dreamed deeply. I dreamed of an old mystic who came to me and said that I had been chosen after a millenia long search for one who was worthy.

He said I would be a great champion for the children of Adam, and that I must take my responsibility seriously. He said if I should grow corrupt, the power would not only be taken from me, but a new person would be chosen, and their first mission would be to imprison me forever.  I tried to ask who he was but he just kept saying the same thing, "Beware the Spider's web.."

So I wake up even more freaked out, only to realise I am late for school. I ended up putting on the same clothes from the day before in a rush.

I run outside and think, "Man, if only that whole Fly thing hadn't been a dream..",  and then suddenly I was the Fly again.

It seemed I could change back and forth as I wanted. So it was real and I could control it!

So I get to school, and I am hoping to talk to the substitute, as the only thing I can think of that makes sense is this piece of amber in my pocket is doing this to me.

He gave it to me, he'll know what is up, right?

So I get to my English class, and Ms. Jennings is back.  In fact, according to her and everyone else, she was there yesterday too.

That's right, no being sick, and no substitute. So what? Now I am crazy? But no, because I can do this... *changes into the Fly*

Well, I'm not sure how this happenned, but I am going to get to the bottom of it!

Jason is a single child, to a single parent. His father was killed in the line of duty as a Metropolis Police  officer. His mother has raised him alone since he was 11. He is 16 currently.

He is blonde, blue eyes, 135 lbs, and generally a happy kid. He is pleasant, and tries to make friends, but he can be a bit awkward. He studies hard at school, but it's a bit of a struggle. His big hobby is model cars. he loves to build them and has quite a collection in his room.

As Jason:

Strength:1 Stamina: 1   Agility:   1 Dexterity: 1     Fighting: 1    Intellegence: 0    Awareness:  1    Presence: 2

=============================================================================================

The easiest way to picture the kids and their relationship is 'The Wonder Years'. Jason is like Kevin, and Robbie is the even nerdier friend(nerdier than Jason). Jennifer is like Kevin's Winny. He is secretly in love with her, but she thinks of him as her best friend. Jason is really shy when he is himself, and only really gains the confidence when he is the Fly.

 Jennifer has both her parents. She is very close with her parents, and has an older sister who is just as beautiful as Jen, but with none of the tomboy tendencies.

 She is a little redhead, and is very sweet, while somewhat tomboyish. She excells at school, and is in the honour roll. There is a boy at school named Bobby Henrix who she has a crush on. He is the stereotypical popular jock kid. Like Kevin, she is too shy to approach Bobby, but talks about him to Jason and Robbie(which Jason hates.

Robbie on the other hand is an extremely awkward kid, but Jason and him have been friends since they were babies basically. Their fathers were both Metropolis Police Officers, and they were both killed on the same day in the line of duty. This made Jason & Robbie's mothers pull together even closer, and they have been pretty much inseperable since. Having both lost their fathers in teh same way, created a bond between the two boys that is unlikely to be broken. Lately thouh, Robbie has felt like Jason is hiding something from him. he is taking it personally, but has no proof of anything. There is a small crack in the wall of their friendship now though because of it. Robbie is really awkward with girls, except Jen, who he thinks of as one of the gang. Robbie is really into comic books, and science. His intellect is way above average. There is actually a chance that eventually, Robbie's intellect could actually be an in to teh worlds of superheroes. That is a far off thread, but the seed is there.

Jason's mon is Frannie. She is actually a teacher at the local elementary school(John Kriger Elementary School). She teaches 3rd grade. She is a very loving, and somewhat sheltering mother. Having lost Jason's father in the line of duty when Jason was so small, she ended up tightening the strings on Jason. She expects him to check in often, and does not like him being at the age where he is so independant. If she ever found out he was fighting crime she would be beyond livid. She would think it was completely irresponsible for him to put himself in danger.

Jason's school is in the small "suburb" of Metropolis called Faulkner Heights. It's actually about 30 minutes outside of town, but Metropolis is constantly growing, and while they were originally two seperate cities, there is no real space between teh outskirts of the two cities. Faulkner Heights definitely has kept it's small town charm though. It's a small friendly community. There is not usually much crime here. People pay their taxes, and have picnics in the park. There is a quant downtown shopping district, and this is the area of town where most of teh town's kids like to hang out. The park(Faulkner Heights Park)is a very popular hangout area, and Grant's Comic Shop is very nearby. There is an arcade/pool hall called 'The Golden Cue'. The local ice cream sandwich shop is called Poppa Zoey's Sandwich Box. There is also a internetcafe/coffee shop called "P.U. Cafe" (Perk Up Cafe), catch phrase is P.U. Never Smelled So Good.

His High School is Grover Faulkner High School.(Grover Faulkner being the founder of teh city, and well respected, but there is a darker side to that story that hardly anyone knows, except one family in town.) Jason does well in school, but doesn't stand out. His favorite teacher is his English teacher, Ms Franklin, who encourages his creative writing. His least favorite teacher is Coach Bonnits. Coach Bonnits has always picked on Robbie and Jason, and takes pleasure in making them miserable in Gym. He gets along famously with Principal Harris, but Vice Principal Cooper seems to have a real mad on for him. He still doesn't really understand why, but it's because he has made advances at Jason's mother, who has continuously rebuffed him. It's a nice school. They have lots of facilities, including tennis courts, swimming pools, a huge football field, and they have the winning 'Knowledge Bowl' team for all of Kansas, of which Jennifer is the team captain.
