Chapter 1:
A/N This is my first ever fanfic so please don't hate! I will try to update once a week but i can't promise. Not that I think I'll get many readers but if i get at least one, I'll be so grateful! I had this idea for a while and its gonna be so much fun finally uploading it! So here it comes, The summer of 1976!
I do not own Zoom!
I wasn't always like this. There was a time when I used to laugh, when i used to love, when i used to have fun. But that was before the summer of 1976. You see, my story is tragic, weird and painful. So very painful. But people doesn't seem to understand. They see me as a bitter, mean, old jerk who only cares about himself. They just don't get it! You don't just get over somthing like that! It was 30 years ago now. I'd like to tell you the story. I'd like to tell you the story of The Zenith Team. It all started that morning in May...
''Jackie! Wake up! You are not gonna belive what just happend!'' I opend my eyes slowly. Only to see my annoyinly excited older brother Connor, sitting on my bedside.
''Don't call me Jackie...'' I murmured quietly and closed my eyes. Hoping that when I open them again he'll be gone. But instead of giving up he just contiued.
''It was this weird flash coming out of my hands! Markus was hitting on Allison again, i got really mad and then it just happend! He knocked out! Maybe its a gift! A supernatural gift!'' I seriously considered opening my eyes just to roll them at him. I didn't belive that humans could be supernatural, but my brother seemed convinced he got super powers or something since he had been talking about it the last few weeks.
''Con,'' I sighed ''there's no such thing as super natural! Okej? Stop bugging me about it!''
''Fine,'' he said ''I'll prove it to you! Meet me up after school and you'll see!''
''Already got plans. Sorry!'' I smirked, it was actually true. Me, Lee and the other guys had planned on going to hang out at the lake and goof around.
Connor nodded saddly, obviously disappointed. I felt a little guilty, so i told him I'd catch up with him at 8 o'clock.
I looked at my watch, 3:28 pm. It was over half an hour until i was going to meet the others. I glanced at my bed, it looked so welcoming. Glanced at my watch again. It wouldn't hurt to just lie on the bed for just a coulpe of minutes huh?
I felt my eyes slid down, and opend them with a snatch. I jerked up and looked at the clock. I let out a little yelp. 4:19 pm! Had I really been falling asleep? I ran down the stairs put my jacket on and started running to the lake. Suddenly my view went kinda blurry, like when you're sitting in a car, and then i was there. I had no idea what happend! One second i was at home starting to run, and the next i was here, at the lake. I looked up and realized that people were staring at me. My friends looked shooked to. I was just as confused as the people around me. What on earth had just happend? I saw two men in labcoats coming towards me, smiling in a very creepy way. When they reached me one of them opend his mouth.
''Hello there! My name is Dalph Wyllman. And this,'' He looked at the man next to him ''is my nephew Grant. We're doing a top secret research on extraordinary gifted children. We call it The Zenith program.'' I stared at them.
''Guess it's not that much of a secret if you just go on telling random teenagers you just happends to meet, ey?'' I said, confused. The man whos name apparently was Dalph just smiled.
''Clearly you're missunderstanding me.'' He said ''You have just the special abilities we are looking for for our research!'' I almost laughed. Special abilities? Seriously? The only special ability i had was lifting my eyebrown without moving my nose. Not much of a special ability if you ask me! But before i could argue, the other man, what was his name again? Grail? Grant?, started talking.
''We would like to invite you to spend the summer at Area 52 to learn how to controll your powers to help mankind!'' Thats when I couldn't help myself anymore, I started laughing. I don't think i've ever laughed so much in my whole 14 year old life! But come on? Special abilities was funny, but helping the mankind is absolutley hilarious! The two man glanced at each other, clearly not knowing what to do about the laughing boy infront of them.
''Powers?'' I managed to get out between the laugher. ''Me?'' This Grant dude raised an eyebrown.
''Kid, you do realize that what you just did has never happend in human history? I've never seen a anything move that fast before!'' He said seriously. Thats when I stopped laughing. Maybe something really did happen. I mean I was at home and then suddenly i was here. Had i really been running here? In less than a second? Grant seemed saticfied that i finally stopped laughing. He gave me a small card. ''Call me when you made up your mind.'' He said. And with that they turned around and walked away. Once they were gone my friends hurried up to me.
''What,'' Lee said ''was that?'' I looked at them, I was just as confused as they were.
''No idea.''
