My Partner who sadly passed away saving my life. This new power has given me the ability to bring him back, or at least something that looks like him.
A door of a police car appears when summoned, looking through the door will reveal the insides of a police car. The door opens and a Vietnamese man steps through. Once heโs outside the door disappears. The man is wearing thin framed glasses, a brown coat, a white shirt with a red tie, brown suit pants and suit shoes. He has a buzz cut with short black hair. The white shirt has some weird red spots on it, which can be perceived underneath the coat.
We were on a routine inspection. A domestic violence case. The neighbors called because of screaming. The Armstrong family has been on our rather for a couple of weeks now. A father, a mother and a 4 year old daughter.
We went over there, not for the first time and definitely not the last. At least thatโs what we thought. We arrived and the door was open. Dexter told me before we went in:โI have your back, if you have mineโ. I nodded and opened the door. We went inside with our guns raised, announcing our presence. I glanced to the left towards the direction of the toilet.
Dexter was covering me, looking into the direction of the living room. As I looked for any sign of life I heard the cocking of a shotgun from behind me.
It all went so fast after that. I heard Dexter shout something as he tackled me to the side. His shouting was interrupt by the sound of the double barrel shotgun going off. I felt a sharp pain go through my left hand as a couple of my fingers got shot off, by the same bullets that ripped a hole through dexters chest. As I fell to the ground, I took my pistol and shot James Armstrong three times in the chest while he was reloading.
I was in agony. I ripped off a part of my shirt and I wrapped it around my fingers. I rushed over to Dexter, his white shirt was stained by his blood. He was chocking on the blood entering his lunges, I could only comfort him in my arms as I felt his life drain out of him.
My partner, the man who had my back for years, the first man who I ever loved dying in my arms. With me not being able to do anything about it.

His cheerful makeup paints an exaggerated grin across his face, with rosy cheeks and wide, innocent eyes. However, beneath the happy exterior, his smile stretches unnaturally, and from deep within him, distorted childlike screams tear through the air. Black bile drips from his mouth, staining his suit as his hands tremble around the microphone. The air around him seems to vibrate with the screams, while ghostly, mangled figures of children flicker in and out of sight. His laughter is hollow and unsettling, making his joyful appearance all the more disturbing.

Targets that receive a new Trauma are aware that you are interacting with them but they do not view it as an attack or view the resulting Trauma as malicious. If their Trauma is treated, they will be able to see the reality of the situation.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Boogars grips the microphone, his mouth twitching into an exaggerated grin. As he cracks a joke, the sound of childlike screams bursts from within himโdistorted, choking cries that seem to tear at his insides. His eyes roll back, and thick black bile spills from his lips, dripping onto his costume. The air around him grows cold, and the screams echo louder, as if trapped souls are trying to claw their way out of his body. His body jerks unnaturally with every laugh, and his voice warps into a grotesque, mocking rasp, drowning out the desperate wails of the children who flicker like ghosts around him. Each breath he takes is another scream, each movement a twisted mockery of joy..
Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Faces in the Dark and Compulsive Mockery.
