Make her forget...

"Hey," You spoke to her with a soft voice, "I didn't catch your name, miss...?"

Calming down her sobbing somewhat, she breathed in and out for a bit before telling you her name, "I-it's Tanya. You can just call me Tanya."

With a comforting smile, you pulled back from your hug to look at straight in the face, "Okay Tanya, I want you to listen carefully to what I say, alright?"

She wordlessly nods, completely trusting in you.

"Tanya, you will forget that those three guys ever attempted to sexually **** you. You never met them before, and the only reason why you would ever recognize them was because they were on the news. You never interacted with them at all. The bruise on your cheek was from you tripping and falling on top of concrete. Now you're on your way to the hospital to get yourself treated. After that, you'll continue living your life like you normally do, but this time, with a more optimistic and happier attitude about everything."

Finished with your command, you stepped away from her and waved goodbye, feeling that you don't need to stick around anymore. "Stay safe Tanya."

You don't look back to see if it works. You're pretty confident that it will.

I think it's time you head back home for the afternoon. Maybe grab some lunch as well.

Yeah, that sounds good.

Heading back home, you held your hand out in front of you, as if admiring the potential weight that you can now hold with it.

"The important thing to note is that, no matter which option you choose, reality will be altered so that actions you cause do not result in negative consequence."

No consequences, huh?

...

Pfft, yeah right. Nobody is above consequences.

Not even you.

"I don't know why you gave me this power, Morpheus. And I'll probably never understand why you picked me."

You faced upwards towards the sky, hoping that your voice can reach towards beyond whatever realm or cosmos that you reside, "But I think I have a good idea on what I'm supposed to use it for.

"I'm not gonna use it for my own personal self gain. I'm gonna go out in this world and try to use this power to help others. I'm gonna use it to protect people. I'm gonna use it to make the world a better place. Whether that was your intention or not, it doesn't matter to me. For as long as I still have this power, I'm going to do as much good in this world as I can, before you wretch this ability out of my cold dead carcass."

The power you held inside you, it is a dangerous power. With how it works, it could easily ruin lives and destroy any form of order in this world.

But for as much potential destruction it can cause, it has just as much potential to be used as a tool for peace and justice.

To an average John, he sees this power as nothing more than a toy to be played with. Never understanding it's significance beyond that.

But you're not just any old average John.

You're the John that chose not to give in.

You are John Doe. The Superhero.
