So I found out I was a mutant when I was fifteen. I broke my finger playing basketball, and when I rubbed it with my hand it was as good as new. Back then I thought my powers were only just regular healing. To further test out my power I started hurting myself just so I could heal it, bruised knuckles from punching the wall, burnt fingers by touching the stove. All now completely healed.

I was so excited about having super powers I was jumping around my room.

"Drake! Stop jumping around!" My Mom yelled.

"Sorry." I yelled back down.

"Anyways, come downstairs." I left my room to see what she needed. She was lying on the floor wearing her Walmart vest. She must have come back from work. "I need you to step on my back, its been hurting me all day."

"Okay." I step one foot down on her back and hear some cracks. Mom grunts in pain, while I start to think if I could use my healing power on other people. " Hey Mom, how about I just give you a back massage."

"Okay fine, just fix my back."

I kneel down next to her, and put my hands on her back. I close my eyes to try to focus my power, just concentrating on making her back better. The power goes through her and she screams in pain.

"Aahh! Drake, what are you doing."

"Sorry, I'm sorry." I apologize as she gets up. "Is your back okay."

"It's-" she pauses as she stands up straight without any pain. She twists her back around like she's doing stretches with a confused look on her face. "It actually doesn't hurt anymore." she says to me. "What did you do?"

"Uh, I was trying this thing I saw on YouTube," I lie. "You know those back cracking videos."

"Well whatever it was it really fixed up my back." She says, thankfully. I go back up to my room right before she starts bending down to touch her toes. 'Oh my god. I can touch my toes again.'


The next day I go to the pet store to buy some mice so I can try out my powers on them. Mom gave me a lot of money when I asked her if I could buy a pet. She was real thankful after I healed her back.

I experimented by cutting off the mice's tails, and re-attaching them back. Cutting them off again and growing new tails back. I found out I could scan their bodies and change them as I like. Making their fur and nails grow longer, giving them bigger and stronger bones which caused the mice to be bigger. I could even mutate them too, giving them blue fur, three tails and no eyes.

It was so cool and gross at the same time.

I'm there thinking if I could do that to them, what could I do to other people, or even myself. I go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. I see an average looking kid with black skin, black hair, and dark brown eyes behind some thick lenses. I've got crooked teeth, pimples, and a big forehead.

But now with my powers I could change all that. First I fix my eyesight, giving myself perfect vision. Change the colour to a more brighter looking brown. Straighten and whiten my teeth, clear my skin up making it smooth. Bring down my hairline making it a square shape. Satisfied with my changes I start making changes to my body.

I had a bit fat along my body, and no muscles anywhere except my arms. I start by burning off the fat leaving me skinny with some stretch marks. Clear the stretch marks and give myself bigger and bigger muscles everywhere. I didn't want to be looking like a bodybuilder so I compacted the muscles, to give myself a leaner look.

I stare at my new body with awe and just watching how defined my muscles look. "Whoa. I've got a six pack now." I say, amazed. I wonder if I can do that Terry Crews thing and make my pecs dance. "Yup, their dancing alright." Moving them up and down.

"'In-deed'" I say and move my pecs with each syllable. "'In-deed. The perc-ulatin-pec-torials.'" I smile and with one last look leave the bathroom.

"Man I love super powers."
