Next part in story, hope u enjoy!

Charlie woke up in the medical bed; he had some experience in this field and knew that if he was in a sealed room like this one something wasnt right. He stood up and looked around at the room; it was a typical hospital room. He also noticed his costume was no where to be found. Charlie pulled a curtain back and noticed a window into a different room. Ben was talking to someone in there in his normal cloths which was basically the same as his costume but without the glowing eyes and he had changed his trousers. People believe anything, thought Charlie, they just couldnt see people like Ben being a mutant and so all he has to do is change his trousers and suddenly hes your mild mannered civilian. Ben finished talking with the doctor, walked up to the window and pressed a button. Suddenly Charlie could hear him.
Hey Charlie, we got a little bit of a problem. Your baggage is fine and sorted Ben gave him a wink. Charlie thought about what his baggage could be and accepted that it would have to be his costume and not something else. The only problem is, mate, that the Rikti got you with something. Youre giving off some radiation that disables electrical stuff. Its not that strong of a field yet but stuff that youre in contact with will be disabled. Its kina like youre a great big EMP. Ben always had the best way of summing things up. He had been able to do it as long as Charlie had known him which was when his contact in Paragon City Hall new heroes section had paired them up for the mission which changed both their lives.

5 months before

Flame Fire had visited the town hall in Atlas Park to speak with his old contact because Flame had been on the streets fighting crime for 11 months and some guys had got together to hold a party for him. He was in a full hero costume unlike now. It wasnt spandex; Ben had always been against spandex. It was a baggy hooded jumper with similar baggy trousers and he had his hood up all the time and was wearing a brand new cape with flames up the back, he had an eye piece as his only form of mask which he could use to lock onto targets and make his attacks more accurate. He had gone past Charlie before Charlie had become a hero. Charlie had asked his boss in the tech part of the hall who he was and his boss had explained everything. Flame Fire had lost his parents in a fire started by Hellions in Steel Canyon which was ironic really because Flame used to be a fire fighter there. The stress had brought on a change in him. He had mutated and he was now able to heat his body up to such an amount that he could burn the oxygen in the air and create fire. He had vowed to get the Hellions which had caused him so much pain and he did. But it was more than that now. Flame had to help people because, well, he was a hero now. He had made a name for himself fighting the Hellions and he didnt want to stop now. Charlie had learnt that Flame was on to something big involved in the Council of Striga Island and he wanted to help Flame. Charlie had got back to his flat in Atlas Park, the Atlas Statue outside his window. He looked at it and then got on with his work; he built a small, flat device that when he held he could use to make people feel better by transferring electrical energy into a powerful radioactive beam which could heal peoples wounds by speeding up the healing process. He tested it on people in the Atlas Park hospital, curing illnesses and saving lives.
A few days after he had started helping people a car crash victim was brought in by Flame Fire, the mans leg had been completely ripped off in the crash. Charlie whipped out his device which he had called the Charger 3000 and stuck the leg of the car crash victim who, the doctors had later worked out, had a 0.5% chance of survival back on to the man. He used his power to literally weld the mans leg back to his body. Within an hour the man was walking out of the hospital, completely healed and fine. The hospital had then tried to copy the device for their own use as it was so good but just couldnt get it right. Heroes can use a similar version of the device now to heal their team-mates in battle.
After so much use the device started to malfunction. Charlie asked Flame to take him back to his house to see if he could fix it and Flame did so. While Charlie was doing test on it, he got a strong electric shock which changed him. His hair changed from its blondie brown colour to a white with a few strings of blond in. He got more muscular as the electricity pumped up his muscles. He picked up the device and then tried to heal himself resulting in an electric field being created around him which blew all the bulbs out in his building. From then on he was Electrocharge, a hero who could use electricity against his enemies but also heal his team-mates which made him and Flame and impossible duo to defeat. He bought loads of yellow spandex from a hero costume shop where he was told that he was the only person ever to buy spandex from there but Charlie didnt care because he said he wanted to look like a real hero, even if he was the only one that did. He made his costume and got to know Flame, who he later knew as Ben. He joined the other new heroes in Paragon City Hall where he spoke to the man who used to be his boss. He said he should join Flame as a sidekick and so Charlie did.
The day before Bens hero anniversary they got the call that something was going down at the Council base Flame had been staking out. They flew there to find hundreds of Council soldiers marching out of the base towards the small town on Striga. Flame Fire and Electrocharge went into the attack before any other heroes had arrived which was their first mistake as they were clearly outnumbered by thousands of troops. Their second mistake was that they got split up. Flame threw fire ball after fire ball as big as himself from either hand as if they were baseballs. Bullets being shot at him were just bouncing off by the shield Electro had given him. Soon though the shield began to fade and the bullets were wounding Flame. He looked around for Electro who was nowhere in sight.
Electro was 100 yards away on the ground behind a building. A group of about 100 soldiers were walking past him on their way to join the others. He put his hands to the ground and created a line of electricity along the floor which hit the soldiers in the feet, channelled through their bodies and into their fellow Council behind them. Within 5 minutes they were all moaning on the floor. Electro created electric hand cuffs and called the police to pick them up, he had been doing this under a week and he already felt at home. He saw Flame looking for him and began to fly up towards him, blasting a few Council Soldiers with bolts of electricity on his way up. Flame was shot by one of the Councils elite Galaxy soldiers after Electros shield had totally ran out, disabling his legs and arms with his energy blast. Flame began to fall.
