When I discovered my powers, I thought it was some sort of electrokinetic situation. You know, like Cole from Infamous. But that wasn't the case.
I was in retrospect, careless. I zapped at a line of ants in the kitchen and suddenly I could hear their thoughts. I thought of them going left and they did so.

I zapped a cop by accident at my place of work and he sort of just stood there with his mouth open. At this point the ants had died of old age but a human would take my whole life. I assumed that I'd just find a way to reverse the affect so when my coworkers annoyed me, I zapped em and they shut down the store and sent me home early.

I couldn't find a way to reverse it. They were following me to school the next morning and my parents were furious. They told me to fix it and that they would have to go to townhall to get me registered as a mutant. I kept uttering the word mutant out loud and realized I was better. I wasn't a mutant! I was a transcended individual. Someone who deserved respect and had taste. ZAP ZAP.

I spent a year in that town zapping tourist and tanking in knowledge. I had since given up on trying to free these people. I mourned my parents and friends accordingly and moved on to the countryside.

Team Alpha caught up with me though and had me and everyone else contained for questioning. They were shocked at my age and figured I'd be some sort of disfigured old man. Nope, I was a sixteen-year-old emo guy who did yearbook club.

They were even more shocked when I revealed that I had no idea how to control my powers. I spent another six months trying and failing to free them. Birthdays flew by and I just gave up. I zapped the Alphas in their sleep, and I summoned my parents and friends.

"I love you." I couldn't say sorry. There was no way to earn that luxury. I opened up a window on the tallest floor of the Alphas headquarters, swung my head through and the rest of my body followed suit. I hope this works. Please work.
