I don't own inFAMOUS…...
Chapter 1My name is Aiden Jones and
I.
Am.
UNSTOPPABLE.
I know what you're thinking "nobody's unstoppable Aiden" and to that I say "FUCK OFF!"... I mean… don't be so pessimistic. You see my powers allow me to control time and space.
I found out about them when... "AIDEN!" yelled my teacher , taking me out of my pointless thoughts about what I would put in an autobiography if I ever chose to make one.
"WHAT?!", I yelled back, "could you possibly want now?". I hate when people interrupt my thoughts.
"I asked if you could answer this problem", she said pointing to the highly advanced equation on the board that made my brain hurt just by looking at it. "Uh… 22?", which is the answer I give whenever I don't feel like answering something, even if it's not math related.
"Every time I've asked you to solve a question you've always said 22, and every time I tell you it's wrong. Yet somehow you've never failed a test." She said, clearly unamused.
"That's because I don't need to pay attention to things I already know, I'm a genius sweetheart. Honestly, you should just let me do my own thing and pick on someone else. Or do you like callin' on me so you can hear my voice?" I said that last part with a hint of seduction in my voice, making her face turn a light shade of pink causing her to turn her face away. I'm the kind of person that spoke my mind regardless of who I was talking to, and that held true even in class. I think it goes without saying that I'm not the most popular student when it comes to my teachers.
But I don't really care what people think of me, I like me and that's all that matters. But, I wasn't always this outspoken, back in middle school I was super quiet. I sat at a lunch table by myself because I was to shy to make friends. It wasn't that I wasn't good looking, I was blessed with movie star good looks, I just didn't have enough confidence to realize and use them. When I was in class things were different I would talk a little more, mainly because everybody wanted to know things about the "quiet kid that sits alone."
My mysterious nature even managed to attract a few girls. I didn't ask them out of course, they came to me. My first girlfriend and I dated for a few months but she broke up with me for a guy that was more popular and social. My second girl only dated me because she thought I could help her get her grades up, but I caught on quick and cut her off. After that I decided to just stay single.
But once I graduated middle school I started to realize that it was time for me to start enjoying my childhood before I run out of time. I decided that I was gonna make a name for myself. I talked more I made more jokes, and I never backed down from a fight. And there were A LOT of fights. I was in my senior year and I'd been in more than 20 fights, the only reason I hadn't been kicked out was because I never started them people just didn't like how I stood my ground and never backed down so they always tried to knock me down a peg.
But I was prepared, the summer before 9th grade I worked out intensely everyday for 6 hours. I went from a scrawny little wimp to a well built jock. I wasn't built like a body-builder I was more like… something like how Spiderman is built. But most importantly, I learned how to fight. I took boxing lessons and martial arts lessons, and mastered both. I anticipated that my new personality would make gain me a lot of enemies and I refused to get bullied.
I'd won every fight I'd been in. Until one day, last year in February, all the guys I'd beaten decided to jump me. I got a few good hits in, but one kid snuck me from behind with a pipe wrench. When I went down they kept punching me and kicking me. They beat me within an inch of my life and if they were really stupid they probably would've killed me.
I layed there in a puddle of my own blood, and that was when my powers unlocked. Time rewound back to right before the fight, and my wounds healed. I knew everything that was gonna happen and I planned out my every move. When the kid with the wrench tried to sneak me I turned around and grabbed it from his hands. I hit him across his face hard enough to break his jaw. The rest of them tried to keep fighting but when they saw four more of the group go down they wised up and ran.
From that day forward, nobody messed with me again.
I took the time to learn how to control my powers. It was the greatest feeling ever... "AIDEN JONES!" Ms. Saltz yelled, once again ruining my trip down memory lane.
"OH MY FUCKING GOD WOMAN WHAT DO YOU WANT!" I really hated having my thoughts interrupted. And this lady just loved to call on me for no reason.
"Who are you swearing at young man?!" She yelled back, in her annoyingly high pitched voice.
"You because it's the last day of school and you're still making us answer these stupid questions." I really feel like she should know by now that I don't need to pay attention to these classes I'm more than smart enough to make it into any college of my choice. My powers allow me to control the time it takes my brain to process information and solve problems. It takes a nanosecond to answer any of these problems.
"I am sick and tired of you speaking to me like that. You are not the adult in this situation, you are the child and you will stay in your place." She was fuming, I swear I saw steam coming out of her ears.
"You're right, you're right I'm oversteppin' my boundaries Ms. Saltz. I apologize wholeheartedly for my disrespectful behavior." I said, lying through my teeth. I just wanted her to shut up and leave me alone.
"Don't you try to sweet talk me, I know your tricks. Now I asked you to solve this problem and actually try this time."
I sighed, I decided it would be best to just answer the question for once. "The answer is…"
I started laughing the answer was just too funny. "The answer is actually 22 this time that's hilarious."
The whole class erupted into laughter including the teacher. "I know it is, I just wanted to give you a chance to be right for once." She said with a smile on her face.
"Aww, thanks sweetheart that's very kind of you." I said, throwing in one of my trademark smiles making her blush just like it does to every girl, even a few guys when I really want to piss them off. Ms. Saltz was just too easy to tease. I could tell she was the quiet girl back when she was in school and wasn't used to guys hitting on her. Which doesn't make sense because she's very attractive. It was probably the voice that turned them off.
She cleared her throat and stated, "Anyway class that's all for today you are dismissed have a great summer."
I walked out the class and went to look for my girlfriend Jessica. I saw her beautiful form from all the way down the hallway. She was the same mixed race as me African American and Puerto Rican. She had beautiful brunette hair that went down to just past her neck. Her complexion was a light tan. She hardly ever wore any make-up, just some clear lip gloss and light eye-liner. And she was short too, only 5" compared to my 6'1". She was wearing a tight white tank top shirt that showed of her smooth skin, and well toned abs. She had on light blue skinny jeans that showed off her hourglass figure. She's one of the best looking girls in the school and the by far the smartest. She didn't have many friends because she mainly focused on her education.
She was standing by her locker waiting for me. I decided to surprise her. I snuck up behind her and put my arms around her waist.
She let out an adorable squeak when she noticed that I was there. "Hey beautiful, how ya doin?" I said, in a New York accent.
She let out a small giggle, "Better now that you're here," she said with her usual beautiful smile on her face. "Why do you love surprising me so much?"
I told her about my powers as soon as I found out about them. She was scared at first but I managed to convince her that it wouldn't change who I was. And it wouldn't change me. I have a strong moral compass, I'm not gonna let these powers change who I am.
"Cuz you make the cutest noise when you get startled." She made a little chuckle and turned around in my arms and gave me a quick kiss.
"I hate you." She said in a joking tone.
"Aww, I hate me too sweetheart." I gave her another kiss. "C'mon let's get outta here, school's over and I wanna spend this summer testin my powers."
"I hope you're planning on spending some time with me too." She said, with an accusing look in her eyes.
"Of course I am, what you wanna do?"
"I don't know yet but I'll figure it out eventually."
"No problemo sweet stuff, now let's find a quiet place so we can make our exit."
We walked to a quiet area of the school and I "Blinked" or teleported us to my front door. I live in a decently sized house in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Three floors, three bedrooms, plus an attic that acts as a guest room or me and Jessica's room when we want some privacy.
I walked in the house and I stopped dead in my tracks. There in the middle of the living room I saw my mom laying unconscious, four stab wounds in her chest and the knife that was used still stuck in her stomach with a note attached to it.
