A Scripta

Rosie barely remembered waking up, the hospital, the realization of her ability to call up a chilling air around her.  But she did remember sitting down on a wooden chair in the sun room, and it broke beneath her.

She tipped the scales at just under 400lbs.  They told her it was her density, not her weight, it wasn't her fault.  Ice weighs more than water, they told her.  That didn't make her feel any better, considering her weight had always been listed as off the insurance charts.

Then, to find out that out of thirty of them, nine survived.  Four disappeared, so she never got a chance to find out about them ((option for villains)).  The remaining five were gathered into a room and told, "You have some sort of ability with ice.  You're now meta-humans.  Here's your ID's.  The plane for Paragon City leaves in an hour.  Good luck."

Rosie's head spun.  Who are these people?

One was a kid, who looked a shade over the drinking age of 19; three others looked around her age.  Ken was a sports nut who wanted to get back into baseball, as he had been drafted just before they left.  Crystal seemed slightly scatterbrained.  She had wanted to be an English teacher.  Bob reminded her of "the nerd who'll act cool to fit in".  Rosie felt a little bad for him - she would accept him as he was.  Lastly was a girl who didn't stick around long enough for her to even ask her name. 

Rosie was excited enough to play with her powers, until she found out some information using the new technology called "the Internet."  She planned on contacting her parents to let them know what was going on, that she was going to live in Paragon and get her masters' at Paragon university.  It would make her father proud.

Her mother had died of a heart attack in their home twelve years ago.  Her father died exactly a year later from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.  Her brother David moved to Vancouver to establish an OB/GYN practice there; her sister Lilly moved to Florida.  She closed the window and never went to look for her family again.
