The Reyes family comes from a small, dirt-poor village in Mexico. Seriously, there's nothing there but shacks and some chickens. My father Alberto was a baby when he immigrated to the US--and yeah, legally. My grandfather joined the military and became a mechanic. My dad followed in his footsteps and fought in the Dominion War. And believe me

I have powers, which isn't that common for my world, so I fight crime and aliens and stuff.

That's so cool! What kinda powers do ya have?

[knockoff_hero]

Pretty much. I can fly, and I have blue armor and I can make energy weapons. I don't have any powers right now, but hopefully I'll get them back...on Christmas, actually.

That's just how the timing worked out. The alien technology that's the source of my powers has been going through a reboot cycle that's supposed to last 27 days.
