This is Static - communications expert, extrovert, former witness, surrounded by secrets
In a team of monsters I'm the normal guy. The one making peace. The one soothing the raging beasts in the likes of Blue and Snipe. I don't mind, I trained as a witness, I've always been good with the borderline personalities [remembered sadness and guilt].
I guess that's why I'm drawn to Janus. I sense the complications in him. He's like a puzzle I want to solve.
When he calls me, utterly terrified, panicking, totally at odds with his usual personality, I know he needs me. I'll move heaven and earth for those who need me.
I've got a huge saviour complex. Show me a cause and I'll nail myself to the nearest tree for it.
Janus is a cause I'd willingly martyr myself for, and I've never even seen his face.
He has hidden himself all the time I have known him, but so have I. If I'm going to save him I'm going to have to show myself, the real me, to him and to the team.
