“Miss Josie, about the price of this Power Rain…”
Is the energy in this water the same as it was during the storm?”
“Miss Josie, word is you’re a Dual–Class Super. How do you even handle two powers at once?”
“Miss Josie, I’m buying! I don’t care what it costs, just name your price!”
Everyone at the base was crawling all over her. So, Josie just decided to hold a massive live press conference right then and there to deal with the Power Rain.
Looking out at the sea of people packed like sardines, Josie felt a rush of pure satisfaction.
This. This was why you hoard like crazy.
She could trade this stuff for anything she wanted. Literally anything.
And the best part? This rain didn’t cost her a dime. Selling it didn’t hurt one bit.
It wasn’t like she was running low, anyway. She had tons–absolute mountains of it–stashed away in her storage space.
Back then, they’d spent day and night grinding, stockpiling a massive amount of that rainwater.
It was like fate itself was begging her to strike it rich!
Hahaha!
Listen up!” Josie raised a hand, signaling for silence. She effortlessly shaped a piece of metal into a megaphone and brought it to her ips. “I’m going to answer your questions now. I’m only saying this once. If you miss it, that’s on you.”
The words hit the air.
The crowd went dead silent. You could hear a pin drop.
Everyone leaned in, terrified of missing a single word.
First off, the price. I haven’t finalized the details with the Base yet, but I can tell you this: you’ll be able to buy it using your Base Credits. And it’ll be a price you can actually afford.”
Second, the energy level. In my hands, this water is as pure as the moment it fell from the sky. But once it hits your hands, the >ower starts to decay. Use it immediately. If you hesitate, or if you’re cheap, or if you try to hoard it–you’re out of luck.”
Also, I never said I was just a Dual–Class Super. I’ve got more secrets than you could ever dig up.”
One last thing, for free: Supers can use this Power Rainwater too. Now, pay attention! This is the big one. If a Super uses this vater, there is a one–in–a–hundred–thousand chance of awakening a Secondary Superpower. But-”
Boom. The crowd exploded. People lost their minds, the noise level hitting a fever pitch as everyone started screaming at once. They were so caught up in the hype that they completely ignored whatever Josie was about to say next.
The news was just too much. It hit everyone like a freight train!
They never saw it coming.
But Miss Josie,” someone spoke up, sounding skeptical. “When it rained, plenty of Supers went totally berserk after getting soaked. Some stayed out too long and just lost their damn minds. They turned into raving lunatics or ended up completely braindead.
I was getting to that! Stop cutting me off,” Josie snapped. “Look, yeah, this rainwater gives you a shot at a secondary superpower. But the failure rate is insane–over 99.9999%. Out of a hundred thousand people, only one actually makes it.”
Take the risk or don’t. That’s on you,” Josie said, dropping one bombshell after another. “And just so we’re clear–my supply is imited. Highest bidder gets the goods.”

With that, Josie stood up and walked out.
she didn’t give a damn about the chaos she’d just sparked. She didn’t care how much her words had just rocked the entire base.
Everyone was losing their minds. This was all anyone could think about.
The second people stepped outside, it was the only thing they talked about. It was everywhere.
