Awakening Chapter 3: "From a terrible yesterday"
..................
The supervillaines's back on the filthy ground, Clouds drift slowly to
veil the sun, as a gentle thunder stirs with calm resolve. "Will you ever forgive me..." Rain gently started to fall, Each drop's
intensity and density increasing with every passing second. "Dad...?" The supervillainess muttered softly, her voice weary, as she raised a trembling hand toward the clouds. Her eyes fluttered shut, and her arm fell limply to her side.
*next Day*
Ray held a box of chocolate infront of a hospital bed.
"I insist though! Just please accept it."
He handed her the box of chocolate again. "It's the best I can do. To
thank you for saving me yesterday..."
The room went completely silent for a moment with the only sounds being the monitor beeping in the background alongside the sound of rain hitting against the windows.
"Fine..." Sam rolled her eyes, reluctantly accepting His gift. "You know I'm not a big fan of chocolate right?" Said sam before she took out a piece of chocolate, and began eating, a faint blush on
her cheeks.
"It's the cheapest gift I managed to find so you better shut and eat."
Ray shrugged his shoulders, and a smile was drawn onto his face.
Sam giggled at his attempt at humour. "Oh Very generous of you." She said with a hint of sarcasm, and took out another piece of chocolate.
A moment of silence enthused until Ray spoke again.
"So the doctor said you will be here for how long again...?" Asked Ray as he avoided her gaze and rubbed the back of his neck. Sam choked on her chocolate, and quickly drank some water
before she Replied. "It's just a Month! And I will be back to the facility like new!" She flexed her bicep as in way to assist her words and ease his concern ."There's No need to worry about me..." the Faint blush over her cheek became apparent "Really..." she avoided his gaze as well.
Ray sighed before looking at sam again, and giving her a slight smile. "I see...welp I hope you recover fast then, and see you later I guess..."
Sam's eyes immediately jerked back towards Ray, and the disappointment on her face was evident. "Bu-." She cut herself short before continuing.
"..later then." She gave him a slight smile.
Ray noticed her unusual behaviour but chose to stay silent. With a quick goodbye wave, he left the hospital room. To his surprise, the moment he opened the door, he found himself face-to-face with Klaus, impeccably dressed and holding a bouquet. Klaus didn't utter a single word, but his reprimanding gaze said everything.Ray avoided Klaus's gaze, sidestepping him as he made his
Way out of the hospital.
The rain intensified, driving everyone to seek shelter, but Ray continued walking, not bothered by the downpour. Eventually, he arrived at the facility, stopping in front of a towering gate. Holding up his ID card to a security camera, he waited as the gate creaked open. Once he stepped through, it closed behind him with a soft,
mechanical hum.
"Awakening" is a curse like disease punished upon those who
committed unforgivable Sins by the "keises" alien beings who once
visited earth with the aim of helping and uniting humanity. It transformed those humans into monsters. Unimaginable,
disgusting, and horrifying monsters with insane abilities that could warp entire environments around them, and with only a few purposes in mind, kill, eat and reproduce.
Those who weren't punished were considered "pure" United their
strengths, putting aside whatever conflicts they had for ending the era of tyranny brought by monsters.
But to their horror, the monsters offspring were human or looked
human. Despite all of the monsters being eradicated, conflicts enthused on whether to kill those offsprings or not. In the end, they were kept alive. 6 years after the war between humans and monsters ended with humanity winning. Every
human-like offspring of the monsters slowly began developing extraordinary abilities Similar to their parents, , but it's
only when they lose control or ultimately fail to maintain their only when they lose control or ultimately fail to maintain their
humanity they transform into mindless killing beasts called "reformers" and without any hope of ever turning back. With the knowledge of those super-abled humans having a chance to become a threat, multiple campaigns and parades erupted, wanting them dead, captured for research and even tortured.
It wasn't long enough since the government was involved, and
created many new laws In order to protect those super-abled humans who were soon named "B-humans" and Facilities were built, or what's commonly known as "Hero's Boarding school" a place
where B-humans from the age of 6 and above are sent once they're diagnosed with an "Awakening" to utilize their powers for the greater good, and Hopefully prevent them from
becoming a threat or turning into reformers.
These solutions weren't so effective as the indifference, and hatred kept on going which left B-humans close to extinction, but
thanks to the "S.A.H.R movement ."
(Super Abled Humans Rights movement)
Orchestrated by Aurora Livingstone in 1,994, current CEO of the hero organization, department of Aisa. significantly increased the
population numbers of B-humans from 10% to approximately 20% in the last three decades.
Not only that but B-humans have been
Granted alot of rights, and are allowed to vote since 2006. The B-humans have been classified as well into 5 main types.
Energy type: which includes any energy-based ability such as electricity. Being very rare.
Force type: which includes any natural force-based ability such as gravity manipulation, and magnetism. Being much rarer than the energy type.
General type: includes all sorts of common-type-based abilities, such as water, earth, fire and air. These are the most common types to be found.
Light and dark types are the rarest types of them all and the strongest, with only 3 cases of dark type and 2 cases of light type throughout history.
Let it be noted that monsters, and reformers are classified in the same types as B-humans are. The only exception is that monsters and reformers have stages. They surpass 3 stages, unlike B-humans, who only have 3 stages.
"Pay attention, Ray!"
