Snippet #2527028

~ People like Gabriel were very common among the superpower's. Most of them had their bodies altered because of their powers, the rest were lucky they didn't get it. However, a mystery sprouted out among the normal's, why did the powers hurt the superpower's in the first place? Why all of this changing, all of this pain? Was it really worth having these inhumane abilities that mankind had been bestowed with? Some think that this is a sign of things to come, that mankind is actually being tested. Most throw these theories off, but some have come to fear this theory in their hearts. ~

~ With Gabriel. ~

He walked out of his apartment to find a limousine parked in front of it. He blinked, looking to the scarred driver that stood, bowing from his waist before Gabriel as Gabriel approaches the long black car. "Welcome, sir Gabriel." The scarred driver spoke. "Please, make yourself comfortable. We have a room you may use for the night, as per SOLO's request."

"Ah, um, thanks?" I'm not coming back to my apartment? This is a test, a frikking test of sheer will under pressure. Maybe i'm over-thinking it, but it doesn't sound far-fetched. Not for SOLO. Gabriel made his way inside the limousine as the scarred driver gets into the driver's seat. Gabriel frowns as he tries to get used to the unneeded long space as the man drives off with Gabriel in the limousine.

Gabriel realized that the ride was going to take a few hours, he wished he was back at his job with his friends. He knew, deep down, that people in this city hated him for what he was. Some out of fear, some out of jealously, others out of something else he couldn't say what. Closing his eyes and putting his right hand on his forehead, Gabriel concentrates on remembering something from his past. He was going to need it.

~ Meanwhile, at the Central Superpower Services! ~

"Ah, you've come just in time. Please, sit down." Electro said to the cloaked man. The figure sits down across from Electro as Electro gives a friendly smile, while the cloaked man glares at him with red eyes. "What did you call me up for today?"

"Where is the Memory Man?" The question made Electro frown.

"I'm sorry, he isn't here today. He left, I'm afraid."

"Left the Superpower Services?" The cloaked man did not sound pleased.

"Not like it matters to you."

"Oh, but it does." The man takes out a pair of sunglasses and puts them on, a red glow coming from where his pupil's should be. "Where is he?"

"Can't tell you, sorry."

"Is that so?" The cloaked man snaps his fingers as a tall woman suddenly appears in the room with them.

"A teleporter?!" Electro was shocked, the cloaked man had come prepared.

"Look up Gabriel, the Memory Man, on the internet for me." The man spoke to the tall woman, who smirks before vanishing from sight in an instant. "Sweet girl, she always finds what I want." The man pulls out a pistol and aims it at Electro. "Always. Now, let's talk." Electro had a feeling he was going to be here a while.
