The Reveal

“Who are you?” she asked. Her face and her words were laced with confusion and concern. Emotions ran through your heart. Do you reveal your true identity? Or do you run away like all of your other problems in your life. You knew the right choice. You knew you aunt was right. ‘Your not running from your problems, you're just delaying the inevitable.’ her voice and wise word were true. There was not running from the problems, you're just delaying them. You sighed. There's no reason to hide it now.

“Answer me!” she exclaimed. Your heart pounded. This was it. After all the years of hiding the truth. It felt wrong to expose myself. But your heart knew it was right. She was your love and lying to her about where you've been most of the time was heartbreaking. I cant delay this anymore. You stared into her beautiful green eyes.

“Tell me. I wont be mad. Whoever you are.” she whispered. You glanced around making sure no one was with you in this alley. It was completely empty, just a few trash cans scattered around. You raised your hand to the end of the mask on your neck. Slowly, you lifted the mask, peeling it all the way off of your head. You dropped your head in shame. Moments passed without her saying a word. I wasn't surprised. The first time I knew I was the super hero. I didn't even believe it. More moments passed before she took a hand and lifted my chin until I was staring at her. And she smiled.
