Originally, this chapter was supposed to be the beginning of the sports festival arc, but I just felt like doing a disaster type first. 

Anyways, most of the POVs in this chapter will just be the POVs of normal people living their normal daily lives. I just wanna show the POV of the people who experienced THAT.

This chapter is in commemoration and a remembrance for the 3,000 people who lost their lives on 9/11 and the dozens of firefighters, police, and other personnel who risked their lives. Your sacrifices will always be remembered and 9/11 will never be forgotten. It stays  seared into our brains and hearts for centuries.

5 hours earlier...

It was an average normal Monday morning. People were rushing to get to their jobs and hundreds of pedestrians crossing the road on a busy working day. The city was loud with the sound of cars revving and honking accompanied with inaudible chatter and the sounds of shoes tapping on the pavements and sidewalks. The Metro was really busy on the weekdays. Office workers were rushing to board a subway train to get to their office jobs.

Ken's POV

My name is Miyage Ken. I'm just an average person, nothing out of the ordinary. I was born with a quirk called "Extend-O-Limb". It basically lets me extend my limbs for about 7 meters. It's a pretty useless quirk unless you're lazy to stand up and get stuff. I work at an insurance company that has an office on the 79th floor of the Tokyo World Trade center. I work to support my wife and my three-year-old daughter.

I took the subway on my way to work which was the fastest since we don't have a car, yet... I just got a promotion a few weeks ago from my boss and my pay grade has increased by about 20% which is pretty neat. If we save enough money, we might be able to buy a house. I might even be able to take my family on a vacation outside of town.
