In a very far city, hundreds of miles away from San Francisco, inside a hidden estate, inside a large house, a group of people are discussing something.
The group of people are actually not an ordinary one, because in these people, the Extraordinaires group is talking with another group of people.
The Extraordinaires group have been travelling all over the country, which who knows why. They went to San Francisco, where Marcos' hometown is. Then they also visited the other hometowns of the other members of the group. Right now, they are in a place to discuss things with a very important person.
"Mr. President, we didn't expect you to call us here. What does your esteemed self want from us?" an extraordinaire spoke to a middle aged man.
The one who called the Extraordinaires group was surprisingly the President of the country.
"No worries my friends. We are gathered here to discuss something important", the president spoke.
The men around the president couldn't help but feel surprised. Their president actually called them friends?
Those men around him all looked at the group of people around the table. They had long know about this group.
Extraordinaires group.
A group formed from the greatest phenomenals around the country who are willing to help the country get rid of the evil phenomenals.
A group of experienced and expert phenomenals who willingly part themselves from their evil peers and help the country flourish.
One look at them and ordinary people may think that they are also ordinary. But these men under the President all felt dread and respect towards the group. The other group of men around the president are also phenomenals who swore their loyalty to him. They are confident in their a abilities, but they know that the group in front of them are more of monsters than them.
"Mr. President, I appreciate your concerns. If there is something we can be of help, tell us", a female of the Extraordinaires group said.
"Thanks. I just want to tell you this", the President became serious. The others also became serious. They know that the thing that they will talk about is something important.
The President began. "One of our scientist, ..... have made a breakthrough. He discovered a reason of the awakening of the abilities of the phenomenals!"
Hearing this, all the men in the room, even the President's bodyguards were shocked to the core. It is a matter that have been boggling their minds for a long time. Even the proclaimed crazy doctor, a genius and the cousin of Marcos, never made a breakthrough in his research.
Hearing that the matter about the reason of the phenomenals' abilities, all of them naturally want to learn about it. This matter is critical, and they know that they should keep it a secret from everyone. Probably, the only ones who know of this matter now is the President and his scientists.
"Mr. President, that, truly, .... was surprising."
The President stood up. "Right now, we are going somewhere. Follow me."
All the people left the house and all of them, led by the President, went to a place far from where they met.

"That's truly shocking", the information given by the scientist who discovered about the matter regarding phenomenals was a great enlightenment to them.
The true reason about it is a sudden outburst of a hidden membrane deep inside the brain. The outburst will lead to the awakening of the innate abilities, abilities that depends on the potentials and genes of the human.
But according to the study, few people may not need to have that brain part burst, due to the possibility that they may inherit abilities.
Right now, they concluded two reasons why these hidden brain membrane will explode and unlock a person's hidden abilities.
First, the thing may happen when a person suffered an intense emotional feelings, like intense anger, intense desire to kill or get revenge, or other intense emotional traumas. But, not all people who experienced that will have their abilities unlocked, because if it is like that, then there are surely a lot of phenomenals. Those people who became phenomenals because of emotions may also have the possibility that their genes may contain a phenomenal's genetics, increasing the chance of them awakening their hidden potentials.
Second, is because of intense fear. Some people will lose their minds just because of intense fear. Close death encounter and the likes may be the reasons. But not all people who went through such situations will unlock their abilities.
The research is still ongoing, and they are studying other possible reasons that will lead to the breaking of that membrane, and how does it give someone an ability that normal people can't have. They still want to study more about that hidden membrane and how it will tear apart or burst.
The people present all agreed about the two reasons of that membrane breaking, since some of them became phenomenals because of the first reason, emotional traumas, and some awakened their hidden abilities because of close death encounters, and intense fears.
"There may be also a possibility that a very long time ago, during the olden days, there may be a lot of phenomenals during that time."
One of the scientist spoke, which surprised the people who heard it, even the president.
"What do you mean?" the President became curious.
"During the warring eras, world war one and two, and the olden times of some great people around the world, it is possible that there are some things which we do not know. Right now, only a small amount of people are phenomenals, but a long time ago, there may be a lot more of them."
All went silent, pondering over the idea.
"Thanks for your hard works. I hope you will discover more about this matter." The President also considered the idea.
The President spoke to the people present:
"Right now, not even in our nation, but also from other countries, all had their own numbers of phenomenals. Out of the seven billion population of Earth, maybe around a number nearing a million consists of phenomenals. Who knows what will be our future someday? There are some who had abilities in singing, which rose up to become great actors. There are some phenomenals who unlocked great memorization abilities, who became great geniuses in the history, and other strange talents. And there are some who became great fighters. Right now we need to take care of our community. The dangers posed by evil phenomenals is a matter that needs to be addressed. I want the future of our people to be a bright one. Let's help each other, my friends."

The Extraordinaires group parted ways with the President of the country, determined to try their best in their own ways.
But what they didn't know is, they are not the first people who discovered about the matters regarding awakening innate abilities and knowing the reason of it.
The Scar Group, knows more than them about phenomenals and abilities. It will not be long until the Scar group and the President will meet again in the future. When that time comes, all will be clear for the President and the Extraordinaires group.
