Who am I? You sure you wanna know?
My story is not for the faint of heart...
If somebody told you I was normal...
If somebody told you that I was just your average guy, not a care in the world...
If somebody told you this isn't a blatant rip off of the beginning of Spiderman...
Somebody lied...

So, anyway,
I was talking to my Dad today...

During this conversation, I relayed some concerns I had to him.

My Brother...he's smart enough to survive...but he's not very wise. The poor guy makes one bad decision after another...and I'm concerned for him. He willingly puts himself into situations that turn out horrible...

My friend...he's wound up in a Juvi Home. I honestly believe his sister is out to get him...though I don't know why...I know he's strong. But I know he's in need of help...

My love...she shares things with me in good faith, knowing I'm here for her...I said something the other night, I feel I didn't really help...and it tears me up.

My dad responded as such:

"The more I hear from you, the more I know it. You have a purpose. You can help your brother more than either of you know. You want to help Matt...and you'd give anything to help Vivi. Your place may not be here, but you will find it. You've told me before that she's called you her angel before...her miracle. Luke, you have a power. Promise me you'll use it."

At that moment, I felt like I was Peter Parker sitting in that car getting the talk from Uncle Ben...
"With great power, comes great responsibility."

That's when it hit me. Not two nights before this, Vivi had showed me her Myspace. I was mentioned once...but under the section titled "Heroes."

...a Hero...

I do have power.
While I may not be able to fly, or run the speed of sound...
I have the Power of Love. Can you see with eyes unclouded by hate?

Who am I?
I am Luke Sanders.
I am the Ace of Hearts.
