Somewhere:

''The agents I sent to New York, have retrieved the Abomination, while Banner has gone back to doing whatever the hell he does'' said Fury to another one of his agents. ''Yes sir that is correct but -''. ''But, the superhuman that was seen by a large majority of the civilians within a radius of 50 miles, saw what happened with even some recording this event ?''. ''Yes.. yes sir that is correct'' the agent said once again, with a hint of nervousness in his voice. ''Then you are dismissed'' he said blatantly as he walked over to his desk. ''Even with the number of advanced humans and super-humans that we have within our possession, there are still too many variables to consider'' said Fury, as he went through Shields files, looking for any individual that had been exposed to gamma radiation as the last superhuman, was stated to be an 'amalgamation', of the Hulk and Abomination.

Leo pov:

''urrgggg' I said, letting out a large croak as my body felt sore all over. I looked around, to see I was in a miniature crater that had formed from my impact. I had remembered what had happened before landing wherever the heck I was right now. My body had begun to revert, to its original form as my green pale skin that had found itself bulging with muscle was now returning to its natural complexion, but I had luckily made an impact before its re-transformation was complete.

But that was irrelevant, it turned out that I had been reborn with a 'gift' as a certain crippled old man would call it. It was the ability to acquire the abilities of others via mimicry. However, now that I think about it I'd only be able to use these powers when another super-powered individual was in range, with a hint of emotion in the mix? ''That's it!''

I shouted aloud, as the power I had right now was an ability that had gone to the protagonists of one of my favorite tv shows. Empathic mimicry it was called, an ability that was versatile and pretty powerful when you think about it, but still had its drawbacks.

My DNA would emulate the DNA of others to use their abilities. Like a sponge absorbing water or spilled juice, and then dishing out the same substance when you squeezed it.

but...

How exactly could I be sure, if this was the same version of the ability? Could I copy someone's power and use it at the same level they were at, or would I be like Calvin Rankins and only gain a portion of another being's power set, would I be able to amplify the abilities and use them in synchronicity? I mean, for all I could know I'd become a power-hungry tyrant like All For One, from that one anime I use to watch.

''Over here'' shouted a person ''It landed over here!'' said the person once again, as I was quickly pulled out of my thoughts to the sounds of people approaching my location. ''Shit'' I said as I quickly picked myself and began to leave the area while noticing that my body was free of any clothes, up until my torso. 'Must've been due to the first full activation of my abilities' I said to myself musingly.

A few days later:

Still Leo:

It had been a few days, since the fight in New York, and the realization of my ability. Sure I had this power, but that was nothing compared to the other powerful beings in this world. I mean there was Thanos, Owen Reece, and Legion son of Xavier, who was a walking power bank for any ability you could think of whereas I was a redundancy. For now at least. I had also not been in contact with Peter, as I'm sure he's fulfilling his duty's as Spiderman, by helping clear up the debris on the streets.

And me? Well, I was currently searching for anything the internet, had to offer on the topic of superhumans and mutants, as the growth of my abilities required the powers, of another individual.

Furthermore, even with this sudden change I still required training. I just can't afford to be the guy who's only useful when powers are in use.

So for the past few days, I had indulged myself in meditative techniques to gain more control over my emotions as it was what played a huge part in the use of my abilities, as far as I was concerned.

But, it was surprisingly hard to clear your thoughts in NYC, where you could hear people or even cats duking it out on the streets.

LEO POV:

How long had it been, hours? days? weeks? There was no telling I had even drifted off to sleep, from the sheer boredom of fatigue of sitting in one place waiting for a spark of power. This was the equivalence of watching paint dry and right now, it had not even begun to set as the clock struck 10 in the evening.

'Just great' I moaned, as I laid down on my bed, staring at my arm as I stretched it outwards into the air, remembering how before it had became a mass of green muscles that seemed to be near indestructible.

Putting it back down, I just had to acknowledge the fact that, this power trip was not something that could be resolved within one night.

This would take a very, very long time....

WESCHESTER:

''Professor what is the matter?'' said a woman she had cocoa colour skin with hair as white as snow. She wore, a black and yellow themed outfit, with a poncho like cape, with high boots finished off with a top that shows off her midriff. This was Ororoe monroe, otherwise known as storm.

''It Cerebro'' said Charles Xavier. ''A few days ago, during the fight between the Hulk and the Abomination, Cerebro alerted us of the birth of a new mutant but a few minutes later her or his signature disappeared completely''. ''But I though Cerebro, let's you see all the mutants present in the world. On top off that, it has never made a mistake'' said Storm in a confused manner, as she herself could not fully grasp the situation at hand.

Sighing Charles, put his hand up to his forehead trying to think of what had happened. There was a possibility that the mutant was killed after awakening or someone who had a dormant gene, was on the verge of awakening.

''His signature lit up Cerebro and quickly disappeared, as if nothing had taken place''.
