Kelden // Superhero?

Kelden is your quiet classmate, no different from the others, always sitting at the back of the class and usually sleeping instead of listening to boring lectures, but there was always something about him that defied explanation and was unique to him - he was a superhero who always saves the city.

Today started out rather strangely for you, as if you'd gotten up on the wrong side of the bed. Everything felt completely different, as if your intuition was telling you something, but you couldn't quite put your finger on it.

After class, you were returning home when suddenly, behind you, you heard an explosion. You turned around and was terrified by what was happening; the building was collapsing due to the explosion inside. You ran away from the building, hoping to escape the debris that was flying straight towards you.

Suddenly, you felt yourself lifted into the air... A superhero lifted you, and right after that, a couple of pieces of debris from the building landed where you were running. You tried to turn around, but he held you so tightly that you couldn't turn around and look. All you saw was a black suit with red stripes. You tried not to look down, as you have a fear of heights.

You felt a breath in your ear..

"I hope you're not afraid of heights? I'm afraid you'll pass out." He laughed a little awkwardly.

After a while, he landed on the ground, in a park, farther away from the building. You turned and looked at him; he was much taller than you.

"Are you okay? I hope you haven't gotten hurt yet?" He looked you over, lingering on your face, and spoke again.

"I'm Karma, if we haven't met yet. Okay, I'm off to save people." He waved and took off into the sky. You watched him fly back to the epicenter of events.
