It had been another long day for the man you see walking before you. His hair combed to perfection, his suit ironed and pressed. A note put into his jacket from his wife telling him she loves him.
He could never have been happier. He had become the manager of the mechanics shop he had been working at and they had finally discovered his potential. It was modest and it had taught him humility but he was earning an honest buck.
The day was long and hard and not even 5 minutes of arriving was he out of his air conditioned office and down in the grease working like he wanted. He loved working on cars. There was only so many things wrong with them before they started to run again. You just change it all out and then it'll work.
Time and patience was all he had for cars. The day was over and as he climbed into his own car and relaxed. What a day.
He turns the key in the ignition and backs out of the shop. He couldn't wait to get home. She had promised whatever dish he wanted for supper but he wanted take out and that's what he would do.
As he pulls into the driveway he can sense something is wrong. A dead silence in the air, it unnerves him. He walks up to the door and slides the key into the door. He can hear every tumbler. He turns the door knob and walks in.
"SURPRISE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
Logan can't help but let his smile he was holding back come out. All his family and friends came out from behind the furniture and Lisa comes over to him and plants a birthday hat on him and kisses his softly.
"Happy Birthday darling, surprised?"
Logan smiles some more.
"I'll get you for this."
She laughs and he drinks it in. He had no idea what he would do without her. His son Elijah runs up to him and hugs him around the leg.
"Happy birthday dad, did we get you?"
He drops to a knee.
"Yea you got me. You plan this?"
Elijah just grins.
"I see you told mommy what to do huh?"
He nods.
"She's a good helper."
"You got to open your present's daddy."
Logan nods and picks him up.
"Well let's have party."
----------------
Logan awakens to a light drizzle on his entire body as he rises from the field. As the rain hits his face it hides his tears. He climbs to his feet and looks around. He must have been teleported by the man he attacked. What a foolish endeavor he had pursued, trying to kill every person he found regardless of their ability.
He looks around another time before deciding he had to use his ability to find out which way to go. He blinks with purpose and his eyes phase to a bright yellow. He notices and aura in the distance and starts moving towards it.
------------------
Ari turns and looks at the doctor who slumps dead into his seat. She turns towards Anthony.
"What have you done?!"
He backs away from Ari.
"I didn't mean to do anything; I was trying to protect you."
"You know I liked it better when you responded to my every thought. You have only caused problems."
Ari pulls out her pen and pad. Anthony extends his hand towards her.
"I'm warning you."
The hairs on Anthony's arm start to rise as the air electrifies.
"I know this feeling."
Ari starts scribbling on her pad as Jackson appears between them. He extends his arms out and blasts out a discharge which knocks out both Ari and Anthony.
