Nine years ago, she had been kidnapped for use as leverage against her father. She had been held in their custody for three days. No food, six water bottles to drink and no bathroom.
Yikes.
She’d gone to the washroom in the corner, had removed one sock to keep the pee from making its way across the sloped hardwood floor.
Sounds like a thoroughly uncomfortable experience.
She’d assured the psychiatrist that she had gotten over any of the trauma and any fear of the dark that had stemmed from that incident. It was her father that’d had a hard time dealing with the event.
I feel like if that had become a trigger event for her, it would quite possibly result in a light-based power.
Heh, imagine if it turned out her dad had been a heroic cape on top of his detective work ever since then.
She’d been young then, and the event hadn’t really stuck in her memory. But she couldn’t shake the idea that the kidnapping might have left some lingering effect on her that would taint the process.
Yeah, very possible.
