EPISODE V: Apollex

Apollex fixa ses genoux en état de choc. Ses doigts rencontraient les cheveux secs d'argent et se fendaient les extrémités quand elle les touchait. Elle regarda dans une surface réfléchissante et trouva qu'elle ressemblait à sa chère vieille Nana Farrell. Elle avait même des rides! Et elle sentait le détergent de nettoyage au citron et les boulettes de mitaine. Pas la meilleure des odeurs.
"Qu'est-ce que..." C'était avant qu'elle ait essayé de faire un pas et qu'elle ait failli tomber. Elle regarda ses camarades, les yeux tendus contre toutes les lumières de la pièce. Elle a remarqué The Rookie () se battre avec Monny et a fait d'aller à eux. Elle était plus lente, beaucoup plus lente qu'elle n'était censée l'être. Ses genoux se sont serrés sous son poids et elle a juré qu'elle essayait de se tirer à nouveau. Elle avait vraiment besoin d'un bâton de marche?
"Ne t'inquiète pas, Rookie! Je viens vous aider!"Elle a toussé.
Alors qu'elle traversait l'espace, elle regardait ses compagnons d'âge. Ils ressemblaient tous à ses grands-parents à la maison et s'il n'y avait pas une sorte de bataille en cours, elle l'aurait trouvé comique. Ce qu'elle n'a pas trouvé comique, cependant, c'est comment certains des prétendus héros s'étaient soudainement transformés en créatures détestables. Honnêtement, ils allaient tous se tuer et elle n'était même pas sûre si ses pouvoirs de guérison fonctionnaient.
Merde, c'est tout.
Lexi Campen
Alias
Apollex
Age
23
Personality
Calm, Kind, Helpful, Naive, Selfless
Archetype
Metahuman
Powers
Healing - Capacity to heal any physical injuries, however the more larger the injury the more energy that has be exerted. She simply has to place a hand over the injury and recite some ancient words in her mind.
Pause of time (maximum: 1 minute) - Works with her healing powers so she is able to pause time and tend to her comrades. Will only work if she sacrifices a piece of herself (her blood, a lot of hair, something important)
Weaknesses
She's very naive and can be easily trusting. She tends to put things in a more positive outlook which may earn her no respect from others. She's also quite selfless which means that she may go through a lot in her mental capacity as she always aims to help others more than herself.
Appearance

Kind of like that photo but a lot more innocent, and a more gentle look about her.
She has blonde hair and grey eyes. She usually wears tan pants and a grey sweater.
Super suit: Black, tan and grey super suit. Wears grey gloves and a black mask.
Character Evolution
I want Lexi to become more grown up, for her to become aware of the world around her and how much she is willing to sacrifice for others. I would also like Lexi to be in a relationship with someone. It would teach her a mean lesson about love and how to learn to be trusting of certain people at certain times. I'm quite sure she'll be friends with most of the younger people in the JLU and would have to earn the trust of the older, more mature heroes.
BRIEF Bio
Lexi grew up with her older brother, Leo. She was adopted by a family and led an average lifestyle until one day when her brother dived into a shallow end of a pool and broke both of his legs. She found out that he'd been paralyzed and will not be able to use his legs anymore. A week later it was her 19th birthday, where she received a letter her biological mother had written her. It contained several ancient words and an explanation of her powers. She was skeptical but decided to try it out. A month passed and her brother turned out to be well, all thanks to hushed recitations of the ancient words and a longing for the most important person for her to come back. Over the years, she's never really used much of her powers and instead stuck to protectively keeping them from prying eyes. When she attended university, studying in Physics, she felt that she could help more people who needed it, which is why she decided to enlist in the JLU.

Sample Post
The room was full with wounded bodies lying on stretchers and dirty sheets. Lexi took a deep breath in. It was weird to actually have a job to do, and one that had major consequences if she failed in it.
"You ready?" A gentle hand closes over her own as Lexi gnaws on her lip.
"I'm ready"
"Treat that patient over there then, if you're so confident." The woman smirks and Lexi feels her cheeks heating up. There it was. Someone else looking down at her.
She had begged and begged Caren, who was a nurse to let her be an intern at the injured soldiers camp and finally when she got here there was someone looking down at her.
Lexi walked over to where the patient was and sat down on a small folding chair next to him. He had stubble and frown lines even though he looked around her age. Her eyes scanned over the clipboard at the end of the bed.
Edward Grantchester, age: 29. Minor injuries on arms and torso.
Huh, so that woman didn't think that she could handle major injuries did she?
"Hi. Um, I don't know if you're awake but um, I'm here to help you." Lexi reaches out a hand and encloses it over the patient's. She would have to touch someone to make that connection, to bring upon that power.
The man's eyes fluttered open. He'd been sedated, of course. Too much. Lexi looks over at the man groaning in the corner. He'd been given too little.
"Why are you holding my hand?" The man speaks in a gravelly voice.
She just gives him a smile and starts to recite the words in her mind. Her other hand reaches to close his eyes and the wounds start closing over.
"Nice meeting you, Edward." She smiles and gets up.
As she walks home from the camp, Lexi fishes into her pocket and pulls out her phone.
She dials Leo's phone number and waits for the rings to stop.
"Hey, Leo."
"Hey, sunshine. How's it going?"
"Fine, I guess. Just a little bit tired from all the healing and stuff. I feel a bit woozy again." A hand reaches up to her head as she caresses her forehead.
"Trying to prove yourself again?" Leo's voice sounded worried.
"Yeah, could you pick me up? I just...don't think I can walk back that far."
"Yeah sure, I'll pick you up."
"Thank you."
Lexi leans against the wall next to her, sinking down to the floor. The world was spinning around her, swirling around and around.
She'd healed 10 patients today.
That'll teach her
