"We have a new member. Everyone this is Jake"
I looked at them. There was nothing more scarier than being a newbie and you have to introduce yourself. I managed to wave my hand a little.
"Hi?"
They all nodded as they went back to what they were doing. I heaved a sigh of relief as Kane looked at me.
"Welcome to the team" he said, holding my shoulder. I smiled as he and the others walked away. I walked to a corner as three people walked towards me. They looked like they were my age.
"Hey sup" he hangs his arm over my shoulder as I pushed it away.
"Hey don't make make the guy uncomfortable already"
"Whatever"
"Don't mind him. He's always clingy like this most times"
"Me? Clingy? You're not serious"
"Ehhh will you guys behave already"
I watched them, not saying a single word. The two kept on fighting and arguing.
"Hey don't worry about them. I'm Mia. The guy in glasses is Kay and the chubby one is Derek "
"Nice meeting you" I finally said something, to her.
"Same"
"You already know my name, don't you?"
"Mhm. Jake right?"
"Yeah"
"So..uh Jake what's your power?" Kay asked
"Um..... it's weird. How 'bout you, what's your powers?" I asked them
"Oh I have this power....I called it Optic Magic"
"It's just as weird as you" Derek told him, teasingly
"No it's not. It's cool"
"What can you do with it?"
"I have this um....a system called the Optic System. It grants me any power as long as it's connected to my eyes. Right now I can manipulate telekinesis, laser eyes, frost eyes, x-ray, and the Third Eye"
"The Third Eye?"
"Mhm" he nodded, ignorantly.
The Third Eye is one of the rarest eye to have. Anyone who has a Third Eye is powerful to some extent. His power level will be matched with that of a Demigod. And he doesn't know this. The Third Eye grants people spiritual powers and this thing called the 'Spiritual Sense'. This thing allows the people with the Third Eye to see things in the spirit. It also allows them to talk to spirit deities like gods and goddesses and other spiritual beings.
"But wait....do you even know what the Third Eye is?"
"I just have a third eye that's all"
"Well it's something beyond that"
"What do you mean?"
I smiled, not intending to tell him, "You'll find out one day"
"Ehhh don't keep me in suspense"
"Don't worry you will find out when the time is right"
"Mmm...." He nods, still intrigued.
"Dumb. You have something you don't even know about. What an idiot"
"Hey!!..."
"What's your powers Derek?" I interrupted Kay
"My powers. Hehe~~" he smirked as his body turned to metal or something like that.
"Wait is that...."
"Yeah it is. I can manipulate Metals. Name them, gold, iron, silver, silicon etc"
"So you only can't um....transform into them or more like shapeshift into them, you can fully manipulate them"
"Yeah. Although I haven't unlocked other Metals. I only have iron, silicon and tin. So weak" he huffed in annoyance.
"No it's not. At least iron is a silver rank metal.....um I think so"
Having the ability to shapeshift into metals and manipulate them is something rare. His power rank might be an SSS rank. Even if he looks like a rank C Inhuman, his powers are SSS rank. That's really cool. I turned to Mia with a smile.
"How about you Mia, what's your power?"
"My power? Oh....my power" she seemed to think and looked at me with a smile, "I can manipulate light"
"Light energy or light element?"
"Light element"
"Wow"
There are two types of powers. Energy and Element. Inhumans who can manipulate energies like heat, solar, water and so on, can manipulate only it's physical attributes. But Inhumans who can manipulate Elemental powers can manipulate both it's physical attributes and spiritual attributes. Kay and Mia's powers are Elemental while Derek's powers are Energy powers. Inhumans with Elemental powers can communicate or summon spiritual beings.
"Wow. Your powers are really cool" I told them as they smiled, appreciating my compliment.
"So Jake...." Derek hangs his arm over my shoulder. I sighed knowing that he wanted to do that since he saw me.
"...what is your powers"
I looked at them hesitating as my mind went back.
>>FLASHBACK: 11 YEARS AGO<<
"Cursed??!!! Our grandson is cursed??!!"
"Father calm down"
"Calm down? How should I calm down? Although we're destined to die cuz the government will find us anyway but this.....this is different. You know what happens when an Inhuman has a Curse"
"Dad I am quite aware of that" a man in his late 20s said, his wife sitting next to him. "But we don't have a choice, do we?" He continued
"Of I know that" he didn't know what to say again as he facepalms himself, shaking his head.
"Mr. John are you sure about this?" His wife asked Mr. John
"I am absolutely sure about this. That was why I didn't share the result when he awakened his power or to say....his Curse"
Silence seemed to overwhelm the room. Then a small boy, probably 6 years old, came into the room. His black eyes sparkled with cuteness and innocence. His father held him cuddling him as his mother brushed his hair softly with her hand. The old man watched them. His grandson was a Curse because his powers are abnormal. His grandson can manipulate lightning, shadow, time and blood. Dangerously overwhelming powers. He shook his head again. He stood up and walked towards his son and his family, smiling. He carried the little boy hugging him.
"We can't change it but we can improve it. We'll give him every training he deserves. He must ne powerful"
"Now you're talking dad"
The family chattered happily again.

I got back to the present after thinking. I sighed.
"I would live to show you something"
