Marauders
Chapter 1: Canon
By Son of the Specter 992
"I can't go to school mom." I was getting persistent.
"And why's that Josh?"
"I'm afraid that I'll hurt someone again"
"Oh come on josh, that was just a freak accident. You don't really think that you're a mutant do you?"
My name is Josh Leib. I am 14 years old and have just recently discovered that I am a mutant. In school I am constantly picked on and beat up on a regular basis. Two days ago it finally happened. The bullies were picking me up in order to dunk my head in the toilet again when a blast just exploded from my hand and blew up the toilet. The bigger kids dropped me and ran.
I was left alone in the bathroom staring at what used to be a toilet. I got so scared that I got up and ran. I got home and locked all of the doors. I went up to my room and sat on my bed. That was when the idea hit me. For ten years I have been abused, attacked, hit, ridiculed, and made fun of. If these powers were real then I could get my vengeance.
I went into the back yard and set up ten piles of cans. I concentrated on my hands and they began to glow. I clenched my fists. It was working; I could feel the energy flowing through me. I aimed my knuckles at two of the piles and focused all of the built up energy out of them.
A stream of energy burst out of my hands. I closed my eyes in fear. I felt the energy flow stop and opened my eyes. The cans in the center two piles were nothing but shattered aluminum. I was satisfied; my revenge was set in stone. For once in my life, I couldn't wait for school.

AN: how did you like it? I would love mutants to add to the marauders. Read, Review, and if you have any characters whether they be mutant, normal, bird, plane, or even frog (and I do NOT mean Toad!) please send me a profile of them with power, name, nickname, and background. Family isn't necessary but if you think that it is good for me to know, put it in.
