Started writing Dead Bang Ch 8 today. A few ideas plinking around. Superpowers are due to start showing up, now, so this is a snippet I've thrown together about a totally unexpected Origin during the cleanup of the AD Police tower. Tell me what you think.

The medic shook his head and muttered something which sounded
suspiciously like, "Damn comic-book drama queens," and stepped up to the
door. Bending down, he set one hand on the bottom of the door, and the
other at the base of the window. Then he gripped.
A quiet cracking sound was the only sound as the glass shattered, giving
his upper hand a grip on the car door. The medic paused, jaw open as he
saw the hole he'd made in the window. Pulling his hand out, he looked it
over, expecting to see multiple lacerations and bleeding. Instead, it
looked whole and unharmed. "What the...?"
Leon pointed to the door. "Keep trying. Let's see where this goes."
The medic swallowed again, and set himself. Gingerly placing his hand
inside the hole in the window again, he placed the other hand on the
bottom, and tried to force his hand into the metal.
A moment later, the door let loose with a horrendous shearing sound as
the medic pulled it clean away from the car, hinges tearing loose from
the door, as secondary electric cabling broke and hung loosely down from
the frame. The medic held the car door in his hands and looked out at
the other assembled people with an expression of shock.

Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do.
