It was honestly the most meaningful thing in his life. He had been through a series of mediocre, low-paying jobs that just did not fulfill him. But the National Guard was different, he was doing something good and useful and in the long run he was helping others. He had thought about joining up full time but just never got around to doing it.</p><p></p><p>He had just finished his two week summer rotation in Germany and really enjoyed it. His unit had been supporting an Army unit that was stationed there and it was a pretty good time. Better than working as a lifeguard, bouncer or basketball coach. Jonn had started thinking real hard about his life and where he was headed. That is why when he got back to the states he took some time off and rented a car to drive home cross country and think about what he should do about his life.</p><p></p><p>Of course, half way into the middle of nowhere his rental car broke down and his cell phone had no signal. He decided not to walk since he had no idea how far the next town was and he ended up camping for the night in his car. After a few hours of sleep he woke up to a loud whistling noise. Suddenly, a meteor shot out of the sky and plunged into the earth just a few hundred feet from Jonn and his car. The impact overturned the car and threw Jonn, knocking hm out. </p><p></p><p>Jonn came to the next day in an Army hospital. The military had sent troops to investigate the crash and they had found Jonn and rushed him back to base. He was given a clean bill of health, having come away with only minor bruises, bumps and scrapes. The army arranged transportation and got Jonn back to the city and back to his normal, everyday life. </p><p></p><p>A few days later Jonn was working on a construction site trying to figure out why he could not bring himself to enlist full time. It was a great experience and gave him an incredible sense of purpose and belonging. He was brought out of his self reflection by a sudden panic on the job site. A large piece of digging equipment had started to topple off the side of a pit it was working on. Johh froze. He was in shock and had no idea what to do. If only there was something he could do to move the large equipment. Suddenly, the ground seemed to move right before everyone’s eyes! It actually moved up under the digger and supported it! No one could believe it! After all of that Jonn had gotten a massive headache and went home for the day.</p><p></p><p>He wasn’t sure how but somehow Jonn knew he had moved that dirt back at the work site. Once at his apartment he became desperate to prove he was not going crazy. He went to his apartment window and focused on the upturned sidewalk below. After a few moments, the sidewalk outside the building shifted and flattened itself out. This was unreal!</p><p></p><p>Jonn immediately packed his things and left for a week of camping. Out in the secluded wilderness, Jonn spent his time learning to control his new powers. He was amazed at what he could now do and the more he worked at it the better he got. The time away also helped clear his thoughts. He realized the sense of belonging and purpose he had been searching for was finally within his grasp. </p><p> </p><p></p><p>First thing Jonn did when he got home was to fashion a costume together. A pair of desert camouflage pants and combat boots, a web belt and some equipment pouches, a black t-shirt and weight-lifting gloves finished off by some Oakley ski goggles to keep the dust out of his eyes. Not the best look a super hero had ever had but far from the worst.</p><p></p><p> After about a month, Jonn had assisted in several major incidents. He had stopped a car-jacking, captured escaped prison inmates, smothered a house fire and a few other cases that quickly got him into the news as a local super hero. The problem was his name. He had started off calling himself Rumble. It sounded pretty cool and tough. But somehow the news decided to call him anything but Rumble. Every time he was in the news they were calling him Quake or Sandrock or Sandblast or Landslide or Avalanche. He had no idea how to fix the problem. He could not recall Superman or Captain America ever being called, “Hey, Mr. Super Guy!”</p><p></p><p>Aside from his identity crisis, Jonn was enjoying his new role in life. It just made life a little better knowing he had something extra to offer those around him. It did make finding a steady job tough. It wasn’t easy to find a job you could leave at anytime to go stop a bank robbery. He often wondered how all those other heroes managed to make it all look so easy.</p><p></p><p>That is when he got the envelope. He had no idea where it came from or how anyone found him, but he had the envelope none the less. And what an invitation! A college where he could learn more about his powers with other super powered people. He had never heard of anyone named William Pike however, he was very eager to hear more.
