A fairly pale boy with spiked black hair and sea green eyes got out of bed. He washed his face and looked in the mirror; he looked over to see a mouse. Everything flashed before his eyes seeing a variety of colors come off of the mouse before he instinctively leapt at it. Like every time before his eyes glowed as a small winged disk flew from the palm of his hand and hit the mouse. The mouse climbed up its new master's leg and stood obediently in his hand. Without thinking, the boy bit down on the mouse feeling a surge of energy rush through him. "Ugh, why do I keep doing this?" He asked himself as he opened the window and tossed out the mouse which twitched signaling that it was still alive. He finished getting dressed wearing a pair of black jeans, a white t-shirt, and a pair of sunglasses; on the jeans a silver chain was visible along with two silver rings, one resting on each hand.
"Lance, your breakfast is getting cold." A female voice belonging to his mother called out.
"I'll be right there." Lance said rushing down the stairs and taking a seat at the table. He quickly ate his breakfast and went to his computer where he did his schoolwork for the day; he had been going to school online ever since he was a little kid, but his parents had still encouraged outside interaction with others.
Afterwards, he began surfing the internet for news. Although his parents had put child blocks on most things because they felt the need to protect him, he found a way around them. He was fascinated by the articles on alien attacks; it always made him question himself about who or what he really was. Today was the day that he had enough, he planned on confronting his parents who always seemed to keep so much from him. He didn't even look like them or act like them.
After dinner, Lance called his parents in to the living room to talk to them. "What is it son?" His father asked with concern on his face.
"I feel like you guys are hiding something from me." Lance said looking at both of them who grew nervous.
"We knew that this day would come. I'll be right back." His mother said running to her room and returning with a black box with a green emblem on it. She put her hand on it opening the box. "I guess first things first. We're not your parents. Secondly you're not exactly human."
"Then what am I?" Lance asked as he recalled all of the weird instances that he had with the mice.
"Well, there are these intergalactic police officers called plumbers. Your mother was one of them." She began.
"And my real father?" Lance asked.
"You don't have one." His father answered.
"You see, your mother was part of a research team that was cataloging the DNA of aliens across the galaxy. She was focused on researching hybrid aliens which are the mix of two different species. At one point, she came across the DNA of a species known as Vladat that was extinct. She thought that by creating a hybrid that its DNA could live on. She volunteered for a project where she was impregnated with the Vladat DNA. You were that child, but sadly your mother died giving birth to you. The procedure was highly experimental and there was a very high chance of her dying, but she knew that when she agreed to it." She explained.
"So what are Vladats exactly?" Lance asked.
"I guess they are the closest things to real life vampires. They don't enjoy sunlight, hence your pale skin. They drain the energy of their victims, not blood, but they have been known to have urges that can overtake them. They see the energy given off by others around them, they enjoy hanging upside down, and they can hypnotize others with their eyes or little creatures called Corrupturas." She explained.
"Are there others like me?" Lance asked.
"Yes, there are several humans who share DNA with aliens." His father said. "They usually go to a place called Under Town in Bellwood, some go in to the plumber academy to follow in the footsteps of their parents, and some just try to live normal lives and maybe be a hero when they need to."
"I'll take the first one. Maybe I can fit in there. Plus, being a space cop sounds like a waste of time." Lance said standing up.
"Well you can go, but you should take these." His mom said handing him a plumber badge that she explained the function of. She then handed him a strange looking bank card. "Your mother and the plumbers left you quite a bit of money that has been accumulating in a bank. They use a special currency called Taydens."
"I have to go." His father said standing up and walking out the door.
"What's his deal?" Lance asked.
"He's been dreading this day for a while. He just needs some time to cool off." His mother said. "Just go to bed. You can leave in the morning."
Lance obeyed and went upstairs and got ready for bed trying to handle all of the information that he had just been given. He fell asleep quickly, but when he woke up he found himself hanging from the ceiling. "I guess my body is embracing my alien side now that I know about it." Lance said jumping down. He got dressed and went to the kitchen for breakfast; his father had still not returned.
After he finished his breakfast, Lance started packing up his backpack ready to head out. He decided to wait a bit longer to see if his father would come back. He was about to walk out the door when a car pulled up out front. His father stepped out and walked over to Lance handing him the keys. "I can't let my son leave without a proper send off. Go check out your new ride."
Lance ran over to the car and admired the jet black sports car. The interior had black leather seats, dark tinted windows, and was fully loaded with extras. "Thanks dad." Lance said hugging his father.
"It's no problem. Now go find your place in this world." He said smiling at Lance who put his stuff in the passenger seat and started up the car which roared to life. He waved at his parents and drove off heading for Bellwood and then Under Town.
