5 Chapter 5

Gabe, being a secret weapon, had to remain mysterious. He couldn’t let people know about the unusual abilities that set him apart from every other man on the street. To look at him no one would ever know that he could see in the dark, or about the laser beam that exuded from his eyes, or that with a single glance those eyes could cut through steel and concrete. In fact, Gabe had many assets he didn’t feel should be made public, especially the fact that he could fly. When he discovered this gift, he knew he would need a flying suit and, with the help of the Police Department, had it specially made from a thick, synthetic stretch fabric lined with steel alloy. The color was dark, making his presence almost invisible in the skies except for the steel alloy in his suit that picked up a radiance as he flew. It gave him the appearance of a bolt of lightning as he streaked from one place to another.
