Prologue

Twenty-eight-year-old Gerard Way bolted up in his bed in the early hours of a chilly April morning. He’d had the dream again. He could never really remember much of it, despite it being a reoccurring dream for him for as long as he could remember.
He strained to see if he could recall anything new, but it was just the same lightning like flashes of light, the whispers he felt like he should recognize but doesn’t, and the giant imposing devil like creature looming over him.
Whatever it was, it scared the shit out of Gerard.
Gerard turned his attention to the sketchpad lying next to him on the bed. He must have fallen asleep while drawing again. He shuffled around in his bed, trying to find the pen he was using, shuddering as the cold air hit his legs when he moved the blanket down too far. He and Mikey really needed to call the apartment maintenance to fix their heater.
Finally, he located the pen and gathered up the art supplies from his bed before pushing himself to his feet. He padded over to his desk and set them down. He figured while he was up, he could check his email in case someone had an inquiry about the commission offer he put out on the internet recently.
Gerard hadn’t gotten any commissions in about two weeks and he was getting really worried that he wouldn’t be able to pay his share of the rent. Mikey was right, Gerard really did need to go out and get a real job but leaving the apartment and especially interacting with people was getting increasingly hard for him.
Gerard was surprised to find an email and eagerly opened it up, finding it was thankfully actually an inquiry about a commission. He silently cheered before quickly skimming through the email. He was pretty excited for this one. It seemed like a fun draw of a character from a comic that he liked which would cost the buyer a bit more money. That is until he read over their request for the character’s aura. Gerard knew he shouldn’t have put his birthday in his profile.
As an Aries, Gerard is supposed to be able to see people’s auras, the color and shape of their energies. Everyone has psychic powers based on their zodiac signs. Mikey, as a Virgo, is telekinetic. Mikey’s boyfriend Pete, as a Gemini, is capable of bilocation, he can mentally be in two places at once. Gerard’s friend Ray, as a Cancer, is an empath who can transfer his emotions through music.
Yet, for some reason, for almost as long as Gerard could remember, he’s never been able to use his power. For years throughout middle school, high school, and college, he’d been forced to sit out, failed classes, and tried in vain to access his powers with no result. At first everyone assumed he was faking it, then they thought he had somehow accidentally turned it off, something you can do with a lot of powers with practice, then they figured he had a mutation in his DNA. But none of that was the case. He just couldn’t use his power.
It was depressing as hell. Gerard always thought it would be cool to incorporate auras in his artwork. But six years out of college, Gerard was unable to hold down a job, living with his younger brother and his rock star boyfriend, and getting most of his income from getting hired by teenage girls and the occasional just starting out business for art commissions on the internet.
Life was great.
Gerard typed out some bullshit reply to his potential costumer on how he struggled with drawing auras, omitting the part about how it was because if he didn’t properly know what auras were supposed to look like, and that he’d still be down with drawing everything else the buyer had requested. He knew at the very least he’d be losing some money if not denied all together. Bitterly, Gerard sent the email. Looking at his display, he realized it was close to four in the morning.
Annoyed, he shuffled back to his bed. Stupid nightmare, he thought as he crawled back into bed and snuggled up to his chin in the covers before slowly drifting back to sleep.
