Mike woke up in shock. It was 7 o' clock, and he was going to be late for school. He rushed his clothes on, and poured some cereal down his throat, and ran out the door, picking up his backpack on the way. He slid into his seat as the bell was ringing. He smiled, and his algebra teacher walked in to start the lesson.
"Oh, I almost forgot about our morning news break," the teacher put down his chalk. The television came to life as a reporter from New York was talking.
"Tom, there's a large disturbance in New York today, as a group of, uhh, people and animals made their way through Central Park. One attacked a young couple, while the others tried to restrain him.... And now there's a fight breaking out between some men in black suits and what appears to be a young man listening to an Mp3 player. Very strange Tom, I'll keep you posted."
The bell rang, and Mike rushed out into the hallway to his next class. As he closed his locker door with his literature book, he turned around to see that a big bully kid had a freshman pinned up on his locker, trying to steal his money and his fancy cell phone. Mike wanted to walk away from it before he got caught up in it, when the bully dropped the kid, and punched him across the face. Blood spilled onto the lockers and floor, as a crowd began to gather. Mike began to sweat. His knees felt weak, as he dropped to the floor. Voices spun around inside his head.
"You are the saviour. You are the protector of the weak."
Mike's eyes began to glow blue as he shook. Suddenly, he lost control of his body, and he shot up. He passed through the crowd to the bully. He and the voice yelled in unison,
"STOP!"
The bully turned with a fist ready to swing. Mike stepped back and put his hands up. The blue from his eyes swirled around and mixed with darkness all around him. They combined, and shot a circular blast at the bully. The lights flickered on and off, and when everything settled, there was a huge hole in the wall, and the bully was outside on the football field. Mike passed out after that, as the people began to swarm around him.
He woke up later in a white room, seeing a man in a black suit.
"What am I doing here!? What's going on?" Mike yelled, as he became totally aware of his surroundings. He was in a strait jacket, and the man smiled.
"Welcome."
