It was another normal day in Silverstone City.
A bustling city full of heroes, economic potential, and day to day activities, but with a big city, there is also crime that comes with it. Even though the government has spent millions on agencies to help put heroes out on the streets to bring criminals in.
Some criminals do sneak through the gaps of those agencies. Criminals that get to live a life acting like they haven't committed the worst sins to mankind. It's disgusting but that's where the Silver Justice Vigilantes come in which is led by Ivan Perce.
He keeps a strict schedule when it comes to his job as a vigilante. He wakes up early in the morning and takes a moment to enjoy the rising sun. Watching as people start to crowd on the street. He then takes his morning shower, always at the hottest temperature as it prepares him for any pain he might need to endure.
Once he is out, he makes breakfast as his hair dries, he always cooks the classic American breakfast: eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and toast. With years of experience, he knows how to make them perfectly to his standards. After he eats, he leaves the house and starts to drive to the vigilantes headquarters.
He turns on the radio as he drives through the bustling streets. He always listens to the news to try and catch any wind of a criminal that went free. He couldn't help but to tighten his grip on the steering wheel when he heard about unpunished criminals. It took him back to when he was younger. He lost his mother to a serial killer.
Ivan never saw his mother but he still lost a piece of himself that fateful day. Thinking about how the police did nothing to save his mother. He couldn't help but erupt into screaming. Punching repeatedly into the steering wheel.
People gave him weird looks as he tried to calm himself down by deeply breathing in and out. His hands shook on the steering wheel as he remembered that day. Losing someone that was close to him, it was a pain he didn't want anyone else to feel. So he set himself on the path to becoming a hero.

He was going to become a hero if he wasn't rejected after he passed the hero entrance exam. The pathetic excuse they came up with was that he had "anger issues." Ivan knows that being a vigilante was illegal but the system left him with no other choices.
Ivan stopped at a traffic light. He looked out of the window that was to the right of him which was looking down a dark alleyway. He saw an old woman getting mugged. His body froze when he saw her. A woman who probably has kids. Even though she's older, she is still someone's mother. Ivan must save her.
He unbuckled his seat belt and jumped out of the car, his heart rate raising as he approached the alleyway. As Ivan was approaching the two, bone started to grow out of his knuckles. Ivan was born with a rare superpower. He was a pure breed in the Biokinesis family. Which is the rarest family out of the second ring.
He walked up to the mugger and swung, the sharp tips of his claws slashes the person's face. Red liquid started to spill out. The mugger dropped the old woman's purse, Ivan didn't stop there, he pushed the mugger down to the ground. The mugger tried to crawl away from him, Ivan's muscles tensed up as he tried to hold back, but his attempts were futile as his bone claws plunged into the mugger's chest.
He let out a soft gasp as he stopped moving. Ivan let out an audible sigh as he grabbed the purse. It felt like his heart got heavier. It wasn't the best feeling, even if he saved someone during the process. He turned to the old woman. She was shaking and staring at Ivan with widened eyes. Ivan understood why.
This always happens, people want to be saved but never by a vigilante. It always has to be a hero they saw on tv. Ivan could feel his muscles tense up again but he restrained himself. The woman said her thanks in a trembling voice and quickly took her purse, scurrying away like she had somewhere to be.
Ivan took another deep breath before punching the brick wall over and over. He stopped as the pain became too much to bear. Punching a wall would have destroyed most people's hands but his superpower had a little perk that came with it.
His bones were a lot more durable than others. He's done a lot of sports when he was younger, he's super has saved him a few times. But that we're his bones, the superpower doesn't save his skin in a single bit. He grits his teeth as he shakes off the pain, he starts to make his way back to his car.
