What was a hero?

Someone with superpowers? Or was it someone that devoted themselves to helping others?

Aaron didn't know; but he did know that one day he, and a few others had woken up with powers and his girlfriend, a hero enthusiast with a little too much money and free time on her hands was more than willing to make them into heroes.

Watchtower

Ember’s large body delicately trembled in fear as outside the bathroom broke into chaos. Footsteps thundered outside and fists banged on the door to the bathroom, but Archer had locked the door shut. I hadn’t even known the bathroom had a door since most public bathrooms didn’t, but Archer had somehow discovered this abnormality and used it to our advantage. 


Another bang exploded outside and screaming ensued. Thankfully, we were safe inside the bathroom, but I couldn’t ask Archer how he’d known to pull us in here. 


He had to have ‘heard’ something before everything happened. I was curious, but I couldn’t ask while Ember was still awake. The poor guy looked terrified and was likely seconds away from passing out, but somehow stayed conscious.
