2 Chapter 2 From the start

Hi, the previous time so many things that I wasn't even able to present myself, my name is Will Kane, age 18, with black hair, previously black, now dark red eyes, a pretty scrawny body, above average grades but not comparable to the genius roaming the world.

I currently live with my grandmother in New Gotham after my father and mother died because of a villain when I was born, it is still unknown how I was able to survive the attack of the villain.

Our current situation isn't the best, my grandma still has to work at the hospital as a nurse, and I usually try to get some spare money from helping around the neighborhood, we aren't poor, but we surely aren't living well.

But that's not the moment to talk about money, it's the moment to talk about how a tattoo appeared on my chest.

Passing a finger on it I felt a strangely hot aura coming from it, as it had just been imprinted on my skin with fire.

'Ok, this is getting stranger with every passing second.'

I heard a knock on the door and without even thinking I jumped back inside the shower and turned the water on.

"Everything alright Will?"

"Yeah, I just felt like taking a shower."

" Ok, just don't take too long." She while closing the door.

I stayed inside for another minute and then got outside.

' I can't even imagine how she would react to a tattoo.'

Using a towel I wrap the important part and head to my room to change clothes.

I settled for some shorts and a white shirt, style has never been my most important problem.

I turned on my computer and headed for my most knowledgeable ally, the internet.

' Ok, what can I search? What powers have I currently discovered I have? A healing factor that's for sure, immortality since getting my head in pieces didn't kill me, some sort of adapting power considering how my body became faster and faster with every step I took, the remaining incognitas are the tattoo and my body changes.'

Being a superpower fanatic, more for survival reasons than actual fanatism, I was able to recognize powers quite easily when seeing them, what would I do when I didn't know what to search? Reddit.

After 3 hours of internet surfing, I created various possibilities about what I am, and what my powers are.

First, I can remove Meta-human, I never came in contact with any type of scientific accident to be one, and no mutant either, sure the experience was traumatic, but I have had previous traumatic experiences that never made a supposed X-Gene awaken.

The remainings were magical beings but my parents were normal, alien, same answers, last but not least, my ancestor wasn't quite normal, the one that makes the most sense.

My powers all can fall into one single power, Enhanced Evolution, Enhanced is the keyword.

I almost died so I evolved to not being able to die and regenerate the damage dealt to me, I was running so I evolved to run faster, I was panicking so I evolved to calm down, I had been shot so the area hit evolved to be more resistant to blunt and piercing forces, I am studying and my brain is evolving to process more information.

The last one had been what truly made me understand my power, with every minute passing my brain seemed to get better at storing at absorbing pieces of information, not a major upgrade like for my running speed, but it was still a steady one.

' Ok, so I can be considered a mutant with the potential to become an Omega-level threat, cool.' I thought, not really knowing how to react to the information I had just discovered.

Moving away from the pc while turning it off I noticed that even after all this time I never once felt hungry, thirsty, or needed to do numbers one and two.

'Right, evolving.'

Sighing I sat on my bed, I don't know what to do.

*Remember, a strong man stands up for himself, a stronger man stands up for others*

Opening my eyes, remembering those words, I sigh knowing what I should do.

' Guess I need a costume.'

After having dinner with my grandma and waiting for her to fall asleep, I changed my clothing to something more covering.

A pair of black cargo pants, a black hoodie, a hockey mask from Halloween, and some boots.

I looked... terrible, like a total newbie trying to be a hero, which I am, let's just hope people will get scared of me not dying.

Jumping out of my window I let my evolution and regeneration take care of the damage caused to my legs and started running to one of the less protected areas of the city, heroes couldn't be everywhere after all.

While running I noticed my eyes adapting to the darkness letting me see as if it was day, their red color becoming more visible in the dark.

After reaching the area I headed towards the nearest fire escape and tried something.

'Let's hope my evolution also listens to my thoughts.'

Jumping from the ground I land on the opposite wall of the fire escape and using the new force in my legs I easily reach the ladder letting me climb it.

'Ok, it gave me the strength to do it, but not the knowledge, I will need to search for some parkour lessons online.'

Thanks to the strength in my legs, and how badly designed was the poor area of New Gotham, I was able to jump from roof to roof without many problems, the feeling of wind hitting my mask and body quite relaxing and intoxicating.

But my fun time ended when I heard a scream.

Heading for the scream I see a man holding a knife trying to steal the bag from a woman.

I could easily reach them if I jumped but there was one small problem, I am on the fifth floor.

'... Ah fuck it, I got shot, how much can this hurt?'

Answer? A fucking lot
