Season 2 Chapter 2: New Powers
A/n: Ok I've been listening to all of your ideas so I'll be taking some into consideration. I'm making sure to read all of your reviews so don't feel like I'm ignoring you.
This chapter will be discussing how the strain in Aaron's body is beginning to give him supernatural abilities.
This may be a short chapter. I'm trying to make them longer, but realized I need to stop rushing myself to release more chapters. I need to recompose myself and let my brain get a hold of itself. Hope you all enjoy this chapter.
1st Power: ???
"Aaron!", Dad called from downstairs. "I'm heading to work make sure to get to school on time."
"You know I will!"
I got thirty minutes until school starts so It wouldn't hurt to kill some time. So I decided to play some games on my Xbox One to pass the time.
"Oh dang it!", I grunted in frustration. I had to do everything in my power to stop myself from throwing my Xbox controller at my tv.
Why does Mr. X have to be such a pain the ass? If you're wondering who Mr. X is he's part of the Resident Evil Franchise who debut in Resident Evil Two.
The guy is so hard to put down no matter how many bullets you put in him. I set down the controller and turned off the console deciding to take a break and prepare for school.
I checked up on my little friend Rock Lobster who was chilling in his new tank on top of a rock. "How's it going Rock Lobster? Great? Great!", I said with a smile.
I stood infront of the window and whisked open the curtains with a jolly smile planted on my face. "It's so good out today! The sun is shining, flowers are blooming, Birds are-"
WHAM!!!
"-What the fudge nuggets!!?"
A bird flew into my window beak first. I jumped back a couple inches from the unexpected jumpscare falling on my ass and watched the bird flop off the out part of the window, falling to the ground in front of my house.
I immediately got to my feet and rushed downstairs and out the front door. I was able the find the bird lying in the grass twitching. The poor thing's wings were bent and sticking out in random directions.
Getting onto my knees I cupped the bird in my palms. "You're gonna be ok little one.", I muttered out of pity. Dad's already gone to work, Anna and Hunter already left for school. I was all alone to deal with this.
I ran inside and put the bird on the kitchen counter on top of a dry towel. "Oh Jesus. What do I do?", I pondered pacing back and forth. I looked back at the bird who was no longer twitching. I lifted the bird of the counter and held it close to my chest. Who am I kidding I can't help my injured feathered fellow
"If I can't do anything for you, the least I can do is not let you die alone.", I sadly whined.
For a minute I became entranced by a bright red fluorescent light escaped from my hands. My palms were glowing and I watched in shock as the bird's broken wings magically rearranged themselves. Afterwards the bird stood up completely fine as if nothing ever happened.
The bird spread it's wings and took off out an open window. Wait a goddamn minute? Can I heal people? "I HAVE HEALING POWERS!!!", I shouted out of an open window.
"SHUT UP!", One of my neighers shouted back.
2nd Power: ???
-Gymnasium (Dodgeball Game)-
"Woah!", I dodged the red ball that was hurled toward me. "Dolly I'm telling you I have healing powers. The bird was fully healed and took off like nothing happened."
She quickly dashed out of the way. Now me and her were side by side. "I'm not saying that I don't believe you. I mean after all you didn't turn into a city destroying monster.", Dolly jokingly mentioned.
"Oh don't even remind me.", I groaned.
Me and Dolly were the last two remaining members on our team. "Nowhere to run Human.", A wolf snicked along with his friends. They all prepared to take us out tossing the dodgeballs in out direction.
As a final resort I pulled Dolly close to me using myself as a human shield. I waited for a hard impact to strike my bad, but nothing happened. Everything fell silent until I heard Dolly gasp. I hesitantly opened my eyes and my jaw dropped.
A bright red barrier surrounded me and Dolly deflecting the dodgeballs. I noticed a blood red aura shrouded my body with the same tint of red as this magical barrier. Everyone in the gym had shocked facial expressions including the gym instructor.
I nervously chuckled in embarrassment and the barrier vanished into thin air. "Well would ya look at that.", I smirked.
-Dalmatian Residence-
"There's no way you're gonna get me to believe you have magical powers.", Dawkins refuted. "Magic is nothing more than an illusion fabricated by easily impressionable dull minds."
"But we both saw it Dawkins!", Dolly argued.
"Hmph!, Do you have any valid proof it happened?", He questioned. Me and Dolly said nothing cause we never expected it to happen. What were we thinking trying to explain this to Dawkins, someone who clearly will always take science fact over science fiction.
"I think I might have an idea of how this is happening though.", I mentioned.
"Oh really pray tell.", Dawkins sarcastically asked.
"Well I think it may be something with my genetics. If I remember correctly when my mom told me how that homemade strain of her's worked she mentioned that it alters it's hosts genetics.", I brought up.
"So you're suggesting it may be something medical?", Dawkins asked and I nodded in response. "Alright, I can get behind that."
Dolly rolled her eyes at Dawkins, "Dude there's something way more to it than genetics.", Dolly stubbornly replied.
"It's alright Dolly. I'll try and see if I can get a doctor to check it out.", I reassuringly spoke. She sighed realizing that I was making my decision final and not up for debate.
-Aaron's House-I peeked into the kitchen doorway to see Dad preparing dinner. He stirred around chili in a pot staying focused on his task not looking up once.
"Hey Dad can I talk to you about something private?", I nervously asked stepping inside the kitchen.
"Sure what is it kiddo?"
"Well my body has been acting strange lately. I've been feeling really weird.", I responded. He stopped stirring and looked back at me with a worried expression.
"Well then, I guess you must be ready for "The Talk".", He said. " Ok. You see when a boy sees a girl that he likes he gets-"
"Dad that's not what I meant!", I groaned covering my face becoming flustered. "I don't think it has anything to do with my...adolescence. I feel like there's something seriously biologically wrong with me. I was just wondering if you could take me to the Doctor's office to get checked out tommorow?"
"Well...if it's that much of an emergency than sure.", He agreed.
"Thanks."
I headed upstairs only to be stopped in the hallway by Anna and Hunter. "Hey Aaron.", Hunter greeted.
"Oh hey! How was school for you two?", I asked curiously.
"Hunter got into a fight.", Anna casually answered.
"Hold the phone what? Was it that pitbull kid again? Oh I'm gonna kick his little-", I was cut off by Anna.
"Hunter won though. I swear I still don't understand why that kid keeps picking on us. He just ends up getting butt kicked anytime.", Anna explained. "He's lucky Hunter stepped in. He would've been tasting my foot for a week."
"How was yours?", Hunter questioned.
"Eventful.", I said.
"How come?", Anna added.
"Umm...I grew a couple of inches.", I nervously lied.
They weren't buying it, but just shrugged off my suspicious response. I awkwardly walked past them and into my room shutting the door. I went limp on my bed staring at the ceiling. This thing my mother injected me with a while back may have something to do with this.
Guess I'll have to see tommorow when I get checked out at the doctor's.
