Bashing her insides.

While your mother disoriented Miss Artillery with a shot of sonic vertigo, your father moved to physically disarm her with his sound-enhanced strength.
You still don't know whether your mother miscalculated the power of her sonic boost or your father misjudged the pump-up he had received.
Either way, when your father grabbed Miss Artillery, her stomach was bloated and blood poured away, insides mushed together.

This certainly wasn't the first time a hero had accidentally used fatal force against a villain. Traditionally, this mistake, would require a fair amount of community service and a hefty fine, especially for heroes of your parent's caliber.
How-ever, this accident came on the heels of a recent string of excessive hero-on-villain brutality and their case fell into the hands of Judge Victon, an up-and-comer who was making a play to become MC's mayor. Deciding that a harsh ruling would set the perfect example for his zero-tolerance campaign against heroic brutality, Judge Victon passed the harshest sentence ever given to any Powered Hero.
Citing a "murderous misuse of Powered ability," he sentenced your parents to a life term in The Devoid, a maximum security facility for Powereds.
With-out visitation rights.
The last time you saw your parents was on the day of that infamous sentencing, right before the police escorted them to The Devoid. You'll never forget the image of your mother and father in orange jumpsuits, handcuffed and shamed, their spirits broken.
Judge Victon wouldn't even let them hug you good-bye.
Your mom couldn't stop crying as the police escorted her away. But as your dad followed, he turned to you and said the words you'd come to live by:
"Don't let this stop you, Himeko. Become a hero -- for us.".

(Yeah, I'm perfectly going to edit this story a bit to let you 'diss' your anger out on Victon. This page got me man... It got me *Weeps*)
Your father could not have known the profound effect those words would have on you, especially after his unjust treatment at the hands of the legal system.
As a result, you have very strong beliefs regarding the law:
~~~
+ I'll always follow the law no matter what. With-out question I will serve my peers and superiors with purity and loyalty.
* I'll always follow the law in order to avoid my parents' fate. How-ever, I don't necessarily mind getting a bit "creative" with the law if the situation absolutely calls for it.
* I have no problem with breaking the law, but I try follow it when-ever it seems reasonable enough.
* I have very little respect for the law -- I know I have to live by my own rules.
+ The law? Ha! The law has absolutely nothing on me, and I'll do what-ever it takes to solve my own problems or endeavors, and at times may even do an unlawful deed just to piss them off. -
* I have no problem with breaking the law, but I try follow it when-ever it seems reasonable enough.

(STATS UPDATE)
After the trial, your parent's considerable fortune was transferred to Miss Artillery's estate and you were assigned to live with your only living relative -- your grandma. How-ever, moving in with her wasn't so simple...
Over the course of their careers, your parents had amassed a deadly collection of enemies -- each of whom would be thrilled to seek revenge on The Sound and The Fury's now-defenseless family. So the court enrolled you and Grandma in the Powered Family Protection Program (PFPP).
You and Grandma were given brand new identities: the Sterling name was assigned to you, though at-least you got to keep your first name. Grandma suddenly found her-self forced to live on a pitiful PFPP stipend and had to move you in-to a small apartment in the Eastern Fringes. She also had to pull you out of your fancy, Powered-only private school and enroll you in the local public school.
In the course of a few short months, your life became unrecognizable to you... And it has never been the same since. That's why, every day, you remind your-self of who you really are.
Your real family name is: * -
(Oooh. Let's see the stats~)
Yukimori -
(Wait, like all the states or just the section that got updated? For now, just the section)
Fame: 43%
Justice: 56%
Lawless: 6%
Lawful: 37%
Offensive: 57%
Defensive: 43%
Soloist: 50%
Team Player: 50%

So Himeko Yukimori was no more, giving way instead to Himeko Sterling. And you found that the Sterling version of your-self was vastly different, forced to grow up way faster than any-one ever should...
Back in the kitchen, you look across the table at Grandma. She's the only other person in the world who under-stands how you feel -- after all, she was forced to abandon the life she had built for over seventy years to enter the PFPP with you. Despite this, Grandma has still managed to start over and find a way to be happy once again.
And with-out her, you'd have no shot at becoming a hero.
"Thank you, Gran," you repeat, fighting against the lump forming in your throat.
"Oh, hush up," Grandma says, wiping her cheeks. "What are you wating for? You've got a career to start!"
