Locker Incident

The is the euphemistic name for the assault that caused Taylor Hebert's Trigger event.

Prelude
Following Emma's assault by ABB thugs and rescue by Sophia Hess she had started a campaign of harassment against her former friend in an effort to prove to herself that she was strong. Together with Madison Clements this Trio harassed Taylor for over a year, keeping other students from befriending her, until finally they decided to escalate further.

They collected various sanitary products from girls restrooms and laid their trap.

Events
On the morning of the first day back from winter break Taylor was shoved into her own locker by Sophia Hess, Taylor was then trapped in her own locker, puking from the smell and unable to move. Her fellow students had been thoroughly cowed by her former friend Emma, and no one rendered any assistance.

Taylor, while not notably physically injured, was now trapped in an extremely confined space unable to move or signal for help for well over an hour, knowing that her classmates had left her there. She understandably did not take this at all well and triggered, this situation was particularly overwhelming enough that she triggered again during the incident.

When people were finally alerted to Taylor's situation, possibly from her own screaming, she did not come out quietly or gently. To reiterate this was due to being overwhelmed by her new parahuman senses overwhelming her. Paramedics had to sedate and drag Taylor away as she was dealing with this.

Aftermath
Taylor was insentiate after this and was non-responsive to Protectorate heroes checking to see if she triggered. She did become communicative enough to relate what happened to her dad, and eventually figured out what her power was becoming functional within about a week.

The attack and its results made her notorious among the school with at least one person being able to recognize her on sight. All the hospital bills were paid for by the school and was therapy afterwards.

While Sophia Hess was identified as the culprit the school principal was pushed by the PRT not to expel her.

Trivia

 * Despite the involvement of a parahuman, Sophia, Taylor had an singular trigger. Sophia did not use her powers to trap her in the locker, and had left the vicinity by the time Taylor triggered.
