Chapter 1: Shooting star.
POV.
Light, was all I saw the moment I woke up, I didn't know where I was or where I came from. I didn't know who I am or who I was, all I knew was that the moment I woke up I felt strong. Stronger than ever before, I felt like I could take on the world.
That was until I was drawn to the sound of a door opening. My eyesight started to focus. I wasn't alone. There were several people around me checking some machines.
But the most notable one was a man wearing a black suit, he was old from what I could tell, I could distinctly notice his big nose and furrowed eyebrows, stern posture and narrowed eyes.
The man must have took notice that I was looking at him, because he locked eyes with me and said "You are awake"
Every sound around me cease, every other person in the room was looking intently at me, just taking notice that I was awake.
Not finding my voice, I could only nod at the strange looking man.
"You have been sleep for an entire week, you were found next to the crash of a meteorite, could you tell us, how you got there?" asked the man without taking his eyes of me.
The man gave me a moment to catch my breath.
With hoarse voice I said "I d-on't k-now"
This apparently wasn't the right answer, because the man got more upset, I could see his eyes narrowing even more.
"Who are you?" asked the man.
That was the important question, I knew that if I didn't gave him the right answer I would make him more upset, but I couldn't lie, I knew that he would notice.
So with a sigh I said "I don't know"
I was right, the man got more annoyed and walked closer to me.
I was started to get nervous, but when he was close enough he released a sigh and said.
"Look kid, you were found in pretty bad conditions, a hero named Frozone found you and brought you to me"
I looked confused and said "Hero?"
The man sigh and said "I guess that was to be expected, Heroes are humans with super powers that help people, well used to but that is a topic for another time…"
I gave him a nod and let him continue.
"Look kid, you are not here by accident if you were like any other child you would have been taken to a normal hospital, but when Frozone arrived he said that he saw you glow in a white light, and the moment he got close to you, he was repelled by this light"
I looked him with confused eyes.
He sigh and said "Look what I'm trying to say is that you just as any other hero, have powers so that is why I took you in, it is kind of my division of work"
I know that this news should have shocked me but not knowing if this was normal or not, I didn't know how to react so y gave him a nod.
"Look kid, the doctors here will run some test on you to know what really happen to you so I ask you to be helpful and I will come back when the results are ready alright?"
I gave him a nod, and saw him walking to the door.
Suddenly I realized that I didn't asked his name so a spoke up and said "Sir, could you please tell me your name?"
He turned around and gave me a small smile and said "Rick Dicker, I work for the Superhero Relocation Program"
I gave him a smile and he left.
I closed my eyes and waited for the doctors to start asking me questions.
-SCENE BREAK-
POV.
After what felt like forever, the doctors stopped asking questions and gave me something to eat, I eat happily, having been extremely hungry for the day.
After I finished eating, I saw the door open and the man named 'Rick Dicker' enter, he gave me a small smile and took a seat next to me.
"Hi kid, how are you doing?"
I looked to him I said "Fine, a little bored but I'm doing well"
He gave me a smile before he sigh, he took a board with some papers on top.
I heard him sigh and said "The results of the test arrived kid, let's see…"
He turned the first page and started to read "This says that you are around 9 years old, malnourished, and you have at least 20 scars all over your body, some badly healed bones and more stab wound all over your body"
I gave a surprised look and shake my head.
"Well it looks like you suffered a lot little guy, but that has finally ended, I will make sure that you don't have to suffer none of that again."
I gave him a grateful look.
He flipped to another page.
"We took some test of your dna as well, it seems that somehow your body can absorb light, it has something to do with some kind of energy that merged with your body. It seems like your body has been healing itself at an extreme pace."
He turned to another page while I listen intently.
"it says that your cells absorb light to heal themselves, and if we take into account the accident with Frozone, I seems that you can somehow harness this 'light' that is all that we could gather from your tests"
I gave him a nod and relaxed into the bed.
I looked at him and asked the only important question for me at the moment.
"So what now?"
Rick sigh and rubbed his nose with his fingers.
He turned to me and said "We can't put you on an orphanage your powers will be way to noticeable, at least until you learn to control them"
"You don't have a name, a family or any other relative know, according to records you don't exist"
"I will try to see what I can do, I will need to make some calls"
Rick mutter to himself.
With a sigh he got up and said "You just wait here kid, and I will fix this"
He started to walk towards the door, but before leaving he turned around and said "What if while I make some calls you think a name for yourself, I'm tired of calling you 'kid'"
He said with a smirk and left the room.
I lit up with a smile and started thinking about names, after all which child doesn't want to choose his own name.
He didn't know that Rick already had a name for him.
-SCENE BREAK-
Rick's POV.
As soon as I left the room I let out a chuckle, the kid didn't know that I already have a name for him.
I took my phone and dialed.
Waiting for him to respond I wait until I hear 'Hello?'
"He is awake"
On the other end of the phone, you could hear a gasp and 'I will be right there'
I looked at the phone realizing that the call was cut, I gave a sigh and started to make the paperwork for 'Nathaniel'
He smiled yes that was a good name for the kid.
-SCENE BREAK-
Nathaniel's POV.
I was still thinking of names when I head the door open. Looking to the door I saw Rick enter with a man next to him.
I smile to him and say "Hi Rick, Hi hmm… sorry sir what is your name"
Rick gave him a smile seeing that slowly Nathaniel started to behave like a real 9 year old.
The man next to rick gave a chuckle and said "Best, Lucius Best"
I gave him a smile and said "Nice to meet you Lucius"
Lucius chuckled and looked at the kid.
"Nice to meet you too, what is your name?" said Lucius.
Before I could answer Rick said "Nathaniel, his name is Nathaniel"
I gasped and turned to Rick, "You told me I could pick my name!"
Rick looked at me with a serious expression and said "I lied"
I could only stare dumbfounded at this and my shoulder sagged.
Lucius laughed out loud at this and said "Nathaniel, Nathan for short, I like it"
I hear this and think that it wasn't really a bad name, and much better the name I was thinking, after all the name 'Naruto' was kind of weird.
I bounced back and with a grin in my face said "You are right, it isn't that bad"
Lucius and I laughed at this, Rick only smiled slightly.
Clearing his through Rick gather my and Lucius attention and said "Now Nathaniel, I brought Lucius here because he was the one that found you"
I snapped my face to Lucius and said "Frozone?"
Lucius gave a smirk and made a show of his ice powers by making a small snow storm in his hand.
I could only stare dumbfounded at the level of control he had of his powers.
Lucius chuckled at this and said "I asked Rick that I wanted to see you when you wake up"
I could only nod at this. I had so many things to ask him.
Sensing my mood Rick turned around and said "I will leave you two, so you can get to know each other"
I could only be thankful to Rick. So wrapped up in my thoughts I was that I failed to notice the look Rick send to Lucius or the nod that Lucius gave back.
-SCENE BREAK-
Rick's POV.
As soon as I left the room I went to make some calls.
Much to do, not much time to do it.
After all, only thanks to Lucius he finally knows what to do with Nathaniel.
Flashback
As soon as Lucius arrived he started to ask me what I gather from Nathaniel.
I told him about how he lost his memory, about his scars and about everything wrong we found about him.
Needless to say that Lucius had all the right to be angry, no child should have suffer as Nathaniel did.
I also told him about my dilemma of not knowing where to put Nathaniel.
Hearing this Lucius perk up and said "He can stay with me"
I gave him a sigh and said "You know that Clair, will not be ok with this" (I don't know Lucius's wife name so I will be naming her Clair)
Lucius gave a smile and said "You know that Clair and I can have kids, and we were thinking of adopting one for a long time now"
I released another sigh and said "You don't even know him, what if…"
Lucius cut me before I could continue "You and I know that with his powers he will be impossible to be adopted by another family, and I will have all the time to get to know him later"
I sign and said "If you are completely sure about this, it will be of great help"
Lucius smiled and said "I am sure"
I sigh, again, all this heroes are making me older every second "Well if you are sure, follow me, you have to meet him"
Lucius gave a triumph smile and followed me.
End flashback
I gave a chuckle at this, knowing that Lucius's wife will tear him to pieces.
-SCENE BREAK-
Lucius POV.
I am driving Nathan to my apartment in Metroville.
The talk with Nathan went great, and more so after Lucius told him that he wanted to adopt him.
Nathan was shocked and jumped to Lucius hugging him tightly for half an hour.
I knew that Clair was going to be mad at this, but will eventually see that it was a great decision.
Pulling over I turned to Nathan and said "Ready to meet Clair, Nathan?"
Nathan gave me a smile and said "Sure!"
I chuckled and motion Nathan to follow me.
Entering the lift, I saw Nathan looking at everything with amazement in his eyes, I smile at this.
He really lost all his memory.
Leaving the lift on the last floor I fish for my keys and open the door.
Motioning for Nathan to enter I said out loud "Honey I'm home"
I hear footsteps and see Clair enter the living room.
