Chapter 1
Powers
Over the last few decades or so people have been complaining about super human powers. No one is sure what is happening. Some think it might be aliens and others don't believe it's happening at all. But in Tokyo, Japan a scientist believes we are taking evolution to the next step. He only believes this because he himself has super human powers. His name is Kona. Kona has the ability to turn invisible. No one knows this but him. In the research that Kona was doing he took a sample of his D.N.A. and compared it as much as he could with his friends. He discovered his was much different and it must be because he has super human powers he concluded. Three days after he made his conclusion he was found dead in his apartment.
It was a sunny day in Boston, Massachusetts. People hurrying around going from place to place. But there was one man who was troubled. He like the scientist Kona also had super human powers. He just didn't know it. He was a psychopath. In other words, He could control things with his mind. His name was Sean. Sean was 24 years old. He had short hair and was very bright. Sean thought that he was going crazy. Two weeks ago was when he first found out he could control things with his mind. He was watching the Red Sox game on TV when they hit a walk off homerun to win a game against the Yankees. Sean was jumping up and down celebrating like crazy. Then all of the sudden his TV went out his window. Then all his pots and pans starting flying all around his apartment. Then one hit him in the head and he was knocked out. When he woke up he was in a hospital bed. He didn't know how he got there. Then he saw the nurse and said, " Excuse me." The nurse looked at him. "What happened he said?"
"Well said the nurse, you were hit by flying pots and pans. Sir can you tell me… But the nurse never finished do to the lamp on the bedside table was floating and then hit her in the head and killed her. The lamp was still floating. Sean wasn't sure but he thought that he was controlling the lamp. Sean decided to see if that was true. He told himself he wanted the lamp down and it came down. Then he concentrated on the dead nurse. Then she rose up into the air and started floating. Then after that he knew that he had a talent. He could hear the sirens around the hospital ring. He had to get out. The police had come too. They were at the door. He thought if he could lift the dead nurse up with his mind he would be able to shut the door and get it to stay that way with his mind. So he concentrated really hard on the door. Bam! The door closed shut. He then quickly knew he could jump out the window and could then lower himself slowly with his mind. So he jumped, landed, and ran. As he was running, some men in masks came up to him. He was then frozen by ice and hooded. Then he was gone.
Sean's younger brother Tim lived in San Francisco, California. He was 21. He had long curly black hair and dark brown eyes. He like Sean also had super human powers. Unlike his brother he wasn't afraid of them. He actually liked it. He could hear people's thoughts. He found out he had powers the same day as Sean did. He was at his job working as a professor at a college. He gave out a test and then he heard someone saying " Well Jack says the answer is B, so I'll go with that." But no one said anything. Sean thought he just imagined it. Then he heard the voice again " I'll ask him what the answer to number 23 is too." Then he saw one of his students named Paul ask Jack what the answer was to 23 so he went over and gave the kid who cheated a zero. That night when he got home he and his friends had a party. Tim decided that this would be a great time to try out his power. Actually Sean didn't know if he was going crazy or not. But then he remembered hearing on the News about insane people claiming that they have super-human powers. So he just figured he had them too. It might even come in handy he thought. So he just concentrated and then he heard his friend Matt think, " I wonder if Tim has any soda?" Tim responded, " Yes we do have soda. Its in the cabinet."
"How did you know I was going to ask that said Matt?"
"Lets just say I have a way with thoughts."
"Okay then ill go to the cabinet said Matt."
The all of the sudden the lights went off. Tim felt something like a bag go over his head. Then his hands were tied together. He was dragged down the stairs. The he heard a building being blown up. He instantly knew it was his apartment.
Tim and Sean also had a third brother. His name was Jake. Jake was the youngest of the brothers. He was sometimes invisible to other people. I mean literally invisible. As you probably guessed Jake had powers too. Well if you did guess that, you were correct. Anyways, Jake Was 20. He had blue eyes and had short hair. He lived in Chicago, Illinois He had dropped out of College his last year. But he was very educated so to him it wasn't a big deal. Jake sometimes got the feeling he was invisible. Like when he went to the mall, it seemed as though no one knew he was there. He couldn't stand the feeling. Then one morning when he got out of bed, he looked into the mirror and saw nothing. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. No one was there. He was very smart and knew there was no possible explanation for this. Then he got mad. Very mad. He thought he was going crazy like his brother Sean. Who he didn't know wasn't crazy. Then he was there. In the mirror. He wasn't going crazy after all. He was very smart and decided to try to become invisible again by concentrating very hard. He felt like his head was going to explode. Then he was gone. His face was no longer in the mirror. Then going back and forth got easier. He could do it at will now. It took a matter of seconds. He was walking around town invisible when a man grabbed him and burnt Jakes left wrist with his hands. Jake didn't know how the man could see him. He suddenly realized he wasn't invisible anymore. He threw a punch at the man with his right hand but the man grabbed his hand and burnt it. Then after the man burnt both Jake's wrists he punched Jake and knocked him out and then put a bag over his head.
