1 Days long forgotten...

Drip. Drip. Drip.

From the recesses of his mind, Daniel could hear the faint sound of water dripping to the ground.

"Ugh… Where am I?" Groaned Daniel as he struggled to get up. However, his arms wouldn't move for some reason.

"Ugh… Why aren't my arms moving?" said Daniel. He opened his eyes to see that he was in the middle of a dark cave with countless stalagmites and stalactites. He somehow was able to turn his head and saw that a pool of blood had formed underneath him. Surrounding him, was a red six pronged star pattern on the ground.

"Wh- What is that?"

Suddenly, it all came back to Daniel.

"Ah, my head! It hurts so much!"

A movie played inside Daniels mind. No, it was more of a flashback.

The sky was dark, with the only visible light coming from a streetlamp posted along the side of the street. The road was paved and smooth, and a hooded man could be seen on a doorstep, knocking on a door.

Suddenly, the man took off, leaving a sleeping child on the doorstep.

The door opened to reveal a middle-aged man with a receding hairline. He looked around confusedly and saw the baby.

"Wh- Who left this baby here?" Exclaimed the man to no one in particular. "Hey, is this anyone's kid?" He shouted.

"Shut up, we're trying to sleep!" Yelled a voice from next door.

"Sorry!"

The man picked up the baby and took it inside the house.

Everything went black for a second, and when it came back, a few years had passed. It was now a midsummer day, and the child looked to be around 5 years old.

He ran up to the same door as before and entered, closing the door behind him.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

"What, Danny?"

"I have my superpower now! Isn't that cool?"

The man's face went from surprise to pure joy.

"Come here, Danny. I got my paycheck today, so I can take you out for dinner today! This certainly calls for some celebration!"

"Thanks, dad, you're the best!"

Everything went black once again, and this time, when it came back, it was a rainy night with a full moon in the sky. Police sirens could be heard as the rain kept pouring and pouring.

"Who could do this?" Said a man with police attire.

"I don't know, but whoever it was is a menace to society." Replied another.

Daniel tried to look over at what they were seeing, but before he could, his vision was forced over to the boy that he had seen before.

The boy looked to be around 16 now, and his short, spiky patch of hair had now become long and wavy.

A crowd had formed near where the police were, and the boy made his way through the crowd.

"Excuse me… coming through…"

When the boy reached the front of the crowd, he could see yellow tape keeping anyone from getting closer.

As soon as the boy reached the front of the crowd, Daniel saw what the policemen were looking at and he immediately started to feel queasy.

Lying on the pavement was a body that had been ripped apart. Its internal organs were spilling out and blood pooled around it. The face was just barely recognizable but the boy knew who it was from the first glance.

It was his father.

"Dad!" The boy cried. Tears fell from his eyes as he walked up to the body, sinking to his knees.

Through the sobbing and tears, Daniel heard the boy mumble one sentence.

"Whoever did this to you… I will kill them no matter what it takes."

Once again, everything went black, and this time when everything came back, Daniel was seeing through the eyes of the boy.

He was in a dark, moist room. He tried to move his limbs but something was tying them down. He tried to call for help, but the words that came out were muffled.

From his right, Daniel heard a deranged laugh.

"Finally… a serum that can take away superpowers! With this I can rule the world! And the perfect test subject too... a child with an extremely valuable superpower, and no family left to protect them... Splendid! Just Splendid!"

Daniel looked over to see a white haired man with crazed, bloodshot eyes cackling away. The man held both a syringe and a needle. The man walked over to Daniel and held the needle up to his arm.

"Mmph… MMPH!" Daniel struggled to get away, but to no avail.

The man plunged the needle into Daniel's skin, causing Daniel to scream into whatever was inside his mouth. A few seconds later, the man took the needle out and just observed what was happening to Daniel's body.

[ERROR. ERROR. ERROR. COMPUTER OVERLOAD] Said a robotic voice coming from above.

"This can't be right… What sort of power does this child have?" Exclaimed the man in horror.

Suddenly, the ceiling broke apart, with a piece falling on top of the man, crushing his body. Blood and body parts were sent flying everywhere.

A few pieces of the ceiling hit Daniel in the mouth, dislodging the thing covering his mouth. Another piece hit his stomach, causing him to throw up blood.

Two people wearing dark purple cloaks walked into the room.

"This is our only hope." Said one of them.

The other one held a cloth up to Daniel's face and everything went black.

After this, the flashback stopped. Daniel now somewhat had control over his body, so he stood up. His legs were shaking from the pressure his body weight was putting on them.

Daniel looked around him to see that 12 bodies wearing the same cloaks as the men in the flashback were lying face-up on the ground. Daniel walked over to one of them to see that they were not breathing.

He lifted the hood of one of them and jumped back in surprise.

It was a woman with her eyes open and what looked to be a gunshot wound in the middle of her forehead.
