Lonesome Street
Chapter 5 The Secret, Part 1
It is true that I have special abilities. We will cover them first; then go on to explain why I have them. That 2nd part is the real SECRET!
I can fly. I can defy gravity and fly, controlling direction and speed through the power and direction of my mind. This ability became apparent in my late teens, and took a lot of practice to learn how to do it and control it. The best example of this is Lana and the tornado. Yes, I was in the tornado with you! I could not bear the thought of losing you!
Super strength. When I got to Lana's truck, I ripped the door off, got in with her and shielded her body from the flying debris. This was my first known super ability. I had it at age 3-4 when I found my earthly parents in a cornfield and turned their tuck back upright. They were stunned! I am getting stronger all the time. (See example below of Chloe & Alicia for more on my strength)
Bulletproof. I could shield Lana because of the dense molecular structure of my skin. Nothing I have ever been exposed to will penetrate it! Except when exposed to one of my weaknesses – see below. Weaknesses will be covered in Part-2.
Super speed. I can run in excess of 120 MPH. This too keeps increasing. I do not know my upper speed limit yet.
X-ray vision. I can see through solid objects, with the exception of lead. I don't know why that exception exists. Some may, rightfully so, be nervous about me peeking through clothes. Trust me . . . I do NOT do that, unless it is absolutely necessary in the course of my work of protecting others (checking for weapons) or apprehending a criminal.
Heat vision. I can start fires, heat up objects, melt metal etc. My emotions can trigger this. Example – the 'hot' substitute science teacher at Smallville HS. This was early, before I had good control of this. I almost burned down the science classroom!
Super hearing. When turned on, I can hear normal conversation at a great distance, i.e., many miles. This is a blessing and a curse. Sometimes it is quite difficult to get to sleep. It's a noisy world out there! Fortunately, I can turn this off & on, like my x-ray vision.
Who knows? Besides my parents, two other friends know about my super abilities. This is NOT because I trusted them more than you, Lana! Actually, I trust them less; but I was forced to explain things to them.
Pete: one day Pete was snooping around our farm (literally) when he discovered a strange object in our storm cellar. This relates to Part-2, the real SECRET. He was going to tell the world so I was forced to explain some things to him so he would shut-up and promise to keep my secret safe.
Chloe & Alicia. When Alicia manifested some meteor rock exposure abilities, I was excited. I thought I was no longer alone, I thought I now had someone I could talk to and trust. I was wrong! She tricked me into exposing myself! She arranged to meet me; when I arrived at the location, she and Chloe were in a speeding car headed for an accident. Just before the collision she teleported herself & Chloe safely out to the side – leaving me to 'catch' the car like you would a giant beach ball. Needless to say, I had to explain some things to Chloe, who proved herself a real friend by keeping my SECRET safe. To reiterate, I didn't trust Chloe and Pete more than you – I just was forced to share some things with them due to circumstances beyond my control. I am reasonably certain that you will have some questions about this part. I pledge to fully answer ALL your questions!
I believe that's the list for now; weaknesses will be covered in Part-2. As I've said, not all my abilities were present when I became aware of them at age 4-5. Strength was first. Then others came sequentially after that. Others may come, I don't know. When a new ability manifests itself, there is always a learning curve to know how to use it, and how to control it. This is often an interesting, expensive, frustrating and sometimes destructive process. My parents have been real troopers as they work through this with me, helping with my learning and training.
So, why do I have these super abilities? Where do they come from? Can other people develop them? The answer to those kinds of questions is the real SECRET!
I look forward to sharing ALL with you, I really do. It will be such a relief to be in a fully knowing and trusting relationship with you.
